Speculation: And yet again...the Off-Topic Thread

[jkutswings]

Guys I’m conflicted. So I have a 9 year old semi wild boy. He likes to play with friends at the bus stop after school. There is a mom that has been telling him he needs to go home and not play. Apparently he kicked a soccer ball too hard while her kid was playing soccer. I went up to the bus stop and introduced myself and asked what the issue was. She went into a tirade about him being rude and disrespectful. So again she was telling him (in a not nice tone as he puts it) to go home he can’t play there.

So I told him he can play there. The conflict I am having is his response. The one I am leaning towards might prove her point but it would be absolutely hilarious and he actually the one who came up with it.

His response “no thank you Karen”.

Mine “ I respectfully decline”.

Compromise.

Sadly, it'll probably go right over her head.

Just don't have your kid ask to speak to her manager.

Anyone have a LG TV that does not recognize WiFi access points? Internet is fine. Other devices work. I've powered off with the button on bottom of set, unplugged set. All standard troubleshooting. Might need a new TV. Sites I'm reading for assistance are trashing LG wireless tech.

Don't get a new TV for the WiFi. Just get a $30 WiFi range extender and plug it into the Ethernet port on the TV. Something like this.

TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black (RE205)

Read reviews and buy TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black (RE205) at Target. Choose from contactless Same Day Delivery, Drive Up and more.

www.target.com

The range extender will connect to the WiFi then plug that into the TV with an Ethernet cable. Bypass the whole issue.

Personally I do something similar with a mesh WiFi system at my entertainment center.

Did you have fun @Bench ?

Poor Man's Poutine: Ore-Ida fries, Heinz brown gravy and cheese curd from Walmart that is allegedly from Wisconsin. I dig it.

Hey guys, is it bad form to crop dust while riding an escalator at the airport?

…Asking for a friend.

Was this friend in the standing lane or the walking lane?

Standing. Going up.

 

[jkutswings]

Standing. Going up.

Ahh, I misunderstood. Thought you meant the long flat sections in between terminals.

In that case, hot air rises. DEFINITELY bad form.

Jesus, if these are the posts that are going to replace the Hronek content, maybe I am actually ok with the Hronek content.

My YouTube history is yesterdays highlights, Kanes OT winner vs the Avs, and the Elden Ring DLC trailer on repeat.

I feel attacked.

Are there any auto enthusiasts here? I’ve recently rediscovered my love for tinkering with things and bought myself a new car as my project.

Anyone else got anything they’re working on?

What car? I want to do something similar, but I am in the prime of my kid chauffeuring career.

I bought a gently used 2015 Range Rover sport supercharged v8. Firenze red exterior, ebony/ivory interior. As we knew know, red makes cars go faster, and this one goes vroomvroom real fast. Total steal of a deal.

I just got it back from an inspection fully expecting metal shavings in the oil, timing chain issues, air suspension problems, coolant leaks and a lot of DIY work needed. The only thing needed is a new rear pinion seal on the differential from a very minor amount of seepage($280) and a new passenger side blind spot camera (tbd).

I have dubbed it Sir Reginald ‘the red rocket’ Range Rover. Reggie Rover for short.

I’m starting some SVR body conversions (grille, rear diffuser), refreshing some letters and badging and swapping out a lot of the lights on this thing.

You are really bad at this. It requires pictures!

Save those pennies for when that air suspension fails!

That was when I picked it up at the dealer. I’ll post progress pics after I make changes.

And honestly, the air suspension on these doesn’t go as much as you’d think. Each strut is roughly $200 if you go aftermarket. I can do that labor myself. It’s the simplest fix on the car. Air compressor is in the spare wheel compartment, and the struts are easily accessed after taking the wheels off. Bolt on parts.

Got something I should be working on, lol.
What did you get?

Ah! That does look like fun, and you will probably get the opportunity to turn wrenches soon enough!
My garage dweller is a little less complicated technologically, but I get to have extra fun trying to fight my way through California smog laws.
Pretty much this, but less clean:

Love that color. My truck is a similar color. Supercharger whine is the best.

I barely hear the supercharger. It’s pretty quiet and not too much lag. The v8 roars though.

Supercharged v8 brings me back. She’s the one that got away.

Now I drive boring stuff with utility.
