  1. I’m looking for a NAS to run as a plex media server and to store pictures and a small amount of files. - Most movies are H.264 1080P MKVs. - May need HW transcoding capabilities - Clients are mostly roku ultras and iPhones - Only need 6 to 8 TB in capacity / RAID 1 - Needs to reliably work and be easy to use Not interested in building my own. Thanks in advance, WC
  2. You’ll use a bench vise more than you think. I was in your same shoes and ended up just getting a craftsman or kobalt (can recall which) on sale for $40.
  3. I was getting frustrated with how many pulls my mower needed to start. So I replaced the filter and spark plug and changed the oil. ...it’s like new again where it starts in one or two pulls. Maintenance- go figure
  4. This. I don’t know how anyone can sleep at night without keeping their credit being frozen.
  5. Meguiars DA orbital buffer FTW. wax faster than wash and dry.
  6. Which model? How do you like it?
  7. Craftsman Briggs and Stratton- going on it’s 15th season. Last two seasons it’s been fighting me on starts so I just got a new filter plug and oil. I give it tlc every 3 years or so
  8. Check out Ally. They have among the highest rates and they may also have some neat no penalty CDs for your situation. Customer service is great as well. I’m not sure how much cash you’re talking about but remember the FDIC $250k limit per bank.
  9. I agree. Romo is a close 2nd though
  10. Mrs Cannon: “I don’t want to talk about that anymore. It’s just frustrating” Me: “great let’s talk about something else” Mrs Cannon: ...but blah blah regarding the same topic Me: “I thought you didn’t want to talk about that anymore” Mrs Cannon: “yes but I just wanted to make sure you understood XYZ” Me: “uh huh I see”. Mrs Cannon: takes the bait and keeps talking about what she originally didn’t want to talk about This can literally happen with any topic.
  11. Breville has several models with high marks on consumer reports.
  12. As my wife says...Bring extra blankets. Someone will need them.
  13. Check out the bidet thread and that TP will last a lifetime
  14. Regarding tubeless brew, I make my own. It’s worked better than others products I’ve used and it’s a hella cheap. There is a thread on Mtbr that has the recipe and description of the ingredients’ function. I have yet to find anything better than the original “WSS - Wadsters secret sauce” except for maybe subbing ATV slime for regular slime. https://forums.mtbr.com/29er-components/best-tubeless-brew-406115.html
  15. Last night we’re about ready to go to bed and she’s locking up, turning off lights, etc... She checks the garage to make sure the door is closed and yells at me, "the car is not in the garage." I ignore her because she knows why her car isn’t in the garage - she parked it in the driveway. 2 minutes later she yells again from the other side of the house , "the car is not in the garage.” My response was, “is my truck in the garage? Her - yes Me - “ that’s because when I come home, I park in the garage. Now...Would you like me to pull in YOUR car for you?” Her - no (in a mopie tone) I normally do the gentleman bit and pull in her car without her even asking. However, i was beat and also saw the behavior I’ve created ... so I decided to be a smart ass instead. I’m glad I was being stubborn because her stupid cat was apparently being especially stupid and getting near the car when she pulled in. I heard her pull forward and back 3 times! Good thing for the cat she took care of it because I would have let Darwin do his thing.
  16. Yeah your student loans seem high. I’d pay those off, especially before contributing to any 529s. If you’re not done paying for your college why would you start paying for someone else’s? Btw, make your kids share the burden of their college expenses so they have skin in the game. My goal is for my kids to work during the summers to help and to graduate with no more than $10k to $15k in debt real value.
  17. Did she at least get to meet Bob Kraft?
  18. I think this is cool too. I also like seeing owls and other birds of prey.
  19. I’d honestly love to understand this phenomenon since the same shit happens here. My theory is that the kids know I don’t put up with their dumbassery and corrective action plans will promptly follow. Where as with my wife, she’ll just yell at them in a frenzy time and time again... Or is it that as the father, they don’t trust that I will get them ready on time? Theories welcomed
  20. Holy crap ... this drives me insane. I speak sternly and I’m accused of being an overbearing disciplinarian or managing her and the kids. She yells at the kids, and she is justified and somehow it’s my fault - sometimes for not disciplining the kids enough! FTS and FML Nope it ain’t worth it. If you don’t keep that yelling in check, you’ll end up feeding her crazy which can only end badly. To make matters worse, you’re already starting at a 7 on the cray-meter since the hotter they are the crazier they are (exceptions for late bloomers). Then that shit goes to cray-con 8 - she’s wearing the pants and has this confidence to make you eat shit with a smile, you have no voice, you’re a second class citizen who’s only purpose is to make bank to pay for her extravagant lifestyle, to fix shit around the house, run her errands, and put up with her shit.... plus insert whatever undefeated joke you want. If it escalates to cray-con 9, you’re getting shit thrown at you, you’re moving out of the bedroom, still remains undefeated except now you don’t even get a chance to subject yourself to whatever slavery you endured at cray-con 8 in order to get defeated. You begin to sleep with one eye open out of fear. Remember at 7 you’re starting 3 clicks below cray-con 10 , also known as GAME OVER because you’re either 50% poorer, in jail for domestic abuse, or you’re fucking dead and she’s in jail for first degree. Yup, not a fan letting the yelling slide...Have mercy, I just realized that a lot of y’all are already at cray-con 8. Be safe and don’t let it escalate.
  21. Solid advice on getting another container for large tents because they are a pain in the butt to get back in their bags. I ripped the tent bag at some point and so I got an over sized duffel bag with wheels for the tent and all the fixings. Also agree with your advice on the tarp - that has never failed me.
  22. ... I highly recommend getting that mortgage monkey off your back. It’s a life changer, you’ll sleep better, better health, less stress, mo money, you’ll have the flexibility to take risks that you previously wouldn’t have.... can’t stress this enough...
