My kids watched it. Looks like they used some original oompa loopas. Gene Wilder voice was pretty creepy.

I see an x40 for $550 on Amazon, x50 is $850 and x60 is over $1,000. Is 60 and 50 that much better?

We went from a Dyson to a shark and have no complaints. I like the tangle free brush head.

Some websites not working on wifi

Posted by Simon Gruber on 6/7/26 at 9:15 am

Since yesterday while on WiFi some websites are super slow or don’t work at all. I can stream YouTube tv, other services with no issues but certain websites won’t load on my phone or computer. When I get off WiFi they load fine. I do a speed test and I see no issues on Speedtest but fast.com doesn’t work. I tried restarting our WiFi system with no luck.

I am thinking something is wrong with REV internet coming into the house?

Imagine someone giving you money each month then telling you I’m gonna still give you the same amount each month but you can’t purchase some unhealthy food with it and you sue them.

It’s not your money!

Yes, I like having the disk and I’m too cheap to update my internal SSD. It’s almost full and I’m tired of moving games to my external.

I opened a 529 account last year, when are the tax forms usually available from the Startsaving.la website? Do u even need them if I know how much I’ve contributed for 2025 when doing my tax returns?

re: Fiber home installation question

Posted by Simon Gruber on 1/7/26 at 9:04 pm to Dallaswho

I might run it up the exterior wall and into the attic myself. The problem with going up the wall into the soffit on my house is the cable is black, my house is white and the side the house I assume they will want to tap into is the driveway side. I think me and the wife can handle a small box on that side of the house but not a black cable going all the way up the wall. I’m sure I could get some white enclosed raceway but not sure that wouldn’t look out of place either.

Built this house 3 years ago and every single utility is on the other side of the property until this week ??

When REV installed fiber at my house I spoke to the installer when he was a few houses down. I told him how far it was from the entry point to my routers through the attic. He said they couldn't run it but he could give me enough wire to run myself and they would tie into when he came. So I took the wire and had it all run for him when he got to my house.

I could be comfortable doing this. I don’t think I could terminate the fiber myself though. Did you run it from the attic down an exterior wall to the entrance point on exterior of your house?
