Neither of those are “slim straight”. There used to be 513s which were true slim straights. That’s what I always bought for a decade or longer but they discontinued them. Smh.
Yes 513s fit me the best. Why did they discontinue them?
re: 12 night trip to Italy planned by chat gpt. Give me your thoughts

There are tours from Rome to Positano and Pompeii in the same day. We were thinking of going that route given the limited time. I realize more days are better, but wouldn’t it be worth seeing even if briefly?

I know someone who travelled up there for that game because it was much cheaper than going to a home game.

What do you think my ender-3 is worth? $100?
I just chunked mine. I couldn’t bring myself to put that on a beginner when an A1 mini can be purchased for $180.

Windows: blue iris. One time $60. Can be up and running quickly. Has a good bit of customizing options. It's worth the cost.
One caveat is that if you use push notifications (at least for iOS) you have to keep the service agreement with them. Kind of ruined the pay once benefit for me. Also was a pain to all of the sudden have push notifications quit without warning.
re: Best place to buy and unlocked iphone 15?
Posted by CoolHand on 12/15/24 at 8:55 am
I was looking for one about a month ago and it’s tough finding them on sale. Looks like Best Buy or Apple are about your best choice. Everyone wants to sell with a plan. If you want to roll dice with refurb you can get better deals. I didn’t want to deal with a potentially off brand battery or screen.

Landline. Landline audio is much better than cellular which is compressed to death.

Makes two. Gary knew football and they both made the game more exciting. I don’t get the hate.
re: What light bulbs have you found to be the best?
Posted by CoolHand on 10/7/24 at 10:28 am
I would stick with the higher end name brands. I’ve gone cheap and those fail fairly quickly. I don’t think I’ve ever had the good stuff fail.
re: Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch or Dewalt?

The M12 line I great for small stuff like drills and impacts. You aren’t really stepping down in power and have a lighter/compact tool.
The new M12 3/8 stubby impact wrench has crazy torque for its size.

I’ve recently been buying Milwaukee. Great deals can be found at Home Depot and I really like the M12 for smaller tools.
re: Bambu Lab P1S - 3D Printer
Posted by CoolHand on 8/14/24 at 7:20 am
I came from an Ender 3 v2 to the P1S as well. That thing is a game changer to the point where other people in the family use it now and I have to battle it out on getting my turn. 3D printing went from a hobby for people that like to tinker to something anyone in the house can use. It was eventually going to happen and Bambu Lab did it.
re: Been a little while - Would y'all please indulge me on the newest Home Camera Systems?

Reolink seems to have a 100 different camera types.
I was hoping someone would reply to my earlier post concerning their human/vehicle detection version of the cameras. I bought mine before that was an option and am not happy with the lack of options for fine tuning triggering. I have a hard time balancing nuisance trips vs not triggering at all.
I have the RLC-520A for outside which was great when I was using Blue Iris. Now I would recommend something like the RLC-820A (4K with human/vehicle detection). You need to make sure you have a DVR that can handle 4K.
Anyone with that setup that can speak to how well it works?

I bought a Reolink DVR to replace my Blue Iris setup, and can’t fine tune so that I don’t have a ton of false triggers (like clouds passing under the sun). Did you Reolink guys buy the AI version of the cameras that can detect people/cars? Thinking I’m going to have to go that route if I want to use push notifications.
re: 35 years ago today, The Cure released a perfect album - “Disintegration”
Posted by CoolHand on 5/6/24 at 8:16 am
That was one of the first albums I purchased and instantly regretted it. But since that was one of a few albums I had, I would still listen to it. It grew into one of my favorites. I don’t know how that happens.

re: Chevron Loyalty App
Posted by CoolHand on 3/31/24 at 9:43 pm
I’ve started using Chevron as my vehicle manual suggests using top tier fuel (more detergent). The issue with Chevron is their gas is more expensive than other places. Not sure how much the loyalty program helps offset the price difference. It does seem to have the most discount of any program I’ve seen.

You’re old enough to remember something that happened less than 10 years ago?

Was my favorite band in the late 80s/early 90s. This may be the only album where I liked every single song on the first listen.
However, due to what they became, I didn’t even have a desire to go to the Joshua Tree anniversary tour a few years back.
