Stainless steel grates!

My parents ordered me stainless grill grate for my birthday. Super high quality and will be way easier to clean than what came with the grill. I am excited to try it out.

Upgrading. D5500 with 18-55mm to Z 6 iii with 24-120mm

I am looking to upgrade my D5500 and 18-55mm kit lens I got for $500 on sale at Best Buy 10 years ago for a mirrorless camera. Photography is a hobby for me that I want to get more into, and I feel my current equipment is limiting what I can do. Nikon will give $225 in trade in on my D5500 which I will get a refund after I order the new camera from them.

I have decided to upgrade to the Z6 iii with the 24-120mm lens. Plans to get the 180-600mm lens next year to focus more on birds and planes, but I am hoping the 24-120 will get me out in the field more and allow for better options than my current set up. Plus getting almost 50% of what I paid 10 years ago for the D5500 in trade in is pretty cool.

I will probably be looking to place the order as long as I dont talk myself out of it end of month or early next month as I heard Nikon is having a sale starting next Monday where the z 6iii and lens will be $200 less.

Looking to order the z5ii but what lens combo?

Looking at the Z5ii now instead of the z8 to save some money as I am just interested in photography as a weekend hobby to shoot landscape, flowers, nature and to shoot family and day trips to the zoo or aquarium or whatever we end up doing.

I can get the z5ii with the 24-105 lens for $2196 or the z5ii with the 24-200 lens for $2496. Which one would be best given the above use cases?

Also is there another model camera and lens combo I should be looking at instead? I currently have an old D5500 and 18-55mm kit lens that I got at best buy 10 years ago on a 50% off sale they were having at the time and just want something that feels more higher end and produces better quality photos.

Bufferbloat test with Costco BE13000

Pretty happy with this score. Using the BE13000 with 2 TP Link 2.5gb 8 port switches in my home network. Ran this test on my macbook pro with a TP Link USB-C 2.5gb ethernet adapter plugged into one of the switches.

Looking to upgrade my home networking

Currently using 3 Google Wifi Pro's that are about 3 years old now with a couple 1gb switches. I have a 2 story 2700 sq ft home built in 2020. I had ethernet ran to every room in the house at the time I put the Google Wifi Pro's in.

I currently have 1GB fiber internet from AT&T, but will likely upgrade to 2GB in the near future.

I am looking to upgrade the Google Wifi Pro's to wifi 7 devices and ones that have at least 2.5gb ports.

I am looking into either a TPlink BE14000 3 pack and a couple multi gig switches. Everything will be wired backhaul and we use wireless for roku, cell phones, doorbell camera, and some alexa/sonos music devices.

I am considering Ubiquiti but don't know what items to get to piece together a router and like 2-3 access points to connect throughout the home thru wired backhaul.

Can I get some help?? Thank you!

If you had to choose between these 2 dishwashers....

What would you pick?

​

I am about to replace my cheap builder grade whirlpool dishwasher that came with the new house in 2020. Its loud and cheap feeling.

​

Debating on the GE Profile PDT795SYVFS or the Kitchenaid KDTS724SPS.

​

I can get the GE Profile for $896.70 thru the GE Appliances Store and ths Kitchenaid for $899. So either one is about the same price, I just don't know which one will be the better one.

Choice of coverage from Employer

What would you choose? I have a family with a wife and young child. Coverage is free for myself on any plan but since I have a family I need to pay.

Employer gives $3500 HSA contribution if I choose the high deductible plan. No HSA offering on the standard PPO plans.
