Is the eno parkway adjustable hammock stand any good?

Need a hammock stand for our backyard for the few summer months we get a year. We don't have a covered space for it to lay under or trees but I like that we can break it down and pack it away indoors for the winter is there something better we should look at or something in addition to a hammock/stand that we should consider buying?

Wife wants a hommack to loungue in our backyard. What types, brands, and materials should I look at?

We live in Illinois. What materials should I look for, sizes, styles, and brands should I consider? Anything I need to know about owning a hammock before buying one? We don't have any trees in our backyard so we will need some sort of stand. We have a shed for long term storage but it won't typically be in a covered area.

I can't believe what I had to scroll through to find Relay for reddit.

Of course reddit is listed twice and a preview is shown without even clicking on the app. Then a whole bunch of sponsored, suggested, and not similar apps to what I searched for. I had to scroll all the way down the page to find other apps related to my search. This is getting out of control.

Inaccurate drying time on my dryer

I just ran my clothes through the steam refresh cycle almost 30 minutes ago which showed 20 on the display. But it now shows 11 remaining. What good is a time estimate if it is off by so much?

Tofu marinade recipes?

We want to start cooking more with tofu but it often comes out bland making me think we really need a good marinade that it can sit in overnight. Does anyone have any good tofu marinades recipes or ideas how we can best get it to soak up the flavor of a sauce?

Recommendations based on my issue with Superblast 3

I just got Superblast 3 in yesterday and went for a run in them on my treadmill. By the end of my run I had pain/discomfort diagonally across the middle bottom of my right foot. My guess is what I was finding during my run if I didn't have perfect form /landing straight on my foot or if the treadmill was still leveling out after pushing off my left foot, it would land a bit to the side of the shoe causing me to pronate. My thought is that it is due to the large 45 mm stack height in the heel combined with how much it compresses. Otherwise it's my favorite shoe, what should I try next?

What to look for in a shoe based on what hurts?

Going to be trying a bunch of shoes this weekend to replace my old pair. While I try out different shoes, if I start to feel pain in certain areas with one shoe, what should I try in the next shoe to eliminate that pain or problem. Like firmer vs softer, bigger or smaller heel stack, ect.

I can't seem to get audio to go through my new sub. I did room correction with my marantz.

What am I doing wrong? I have it hooked up via RCA to the LFE port. It detected the sub in the setup. I tried changing from front from full range to 80hz. I tried it at full range. I have it set to -10db in the app. I have this thing unchecked so LFE is supposed to work. What do I need to do here?

Update: the sub works and I think I have it setup correctly now. Turns out the music I was testing it out with didn't have deep enough bass to really activate it. Using LFE not LFE + main. Tower speakers are set from full range to 80hz which I think is considered small because the speakers change to look small when I do it. Crossover is at 80hz. Tried out some Black Flag resynced and the cannons and motors are intense. The only question now is how do I tell if I should raise or lower the crossover?

I need help taking back control of my digital provacy

With the whole LG monitor thing and Gamers Nexus's deep dive on the brand I want to take better care of my digital privacy but I know it's a big deep rabbit hole and I'm not sure even where to get started. My first thought is to try and use my router to start blocking companies from stealing my data if possible. Is there a list of domains or something I should start blocking to try and prevent tracking data from companies products I use? Are there certain big companies with really bad privacy practices that I should focus my effort on first? Or are there links where I can learn where to even get started?

Has anyone started having problems with their phone once they switched carriers?

Back when I was on Google Fi I would go long periods of time where 50% of the time no one could hear me when I called or picked up. As soon as I switched to AT&T I no longer had those problems, instead any time I get a notification while using android and it causes my music to go into a buffering mode where it would play for 1 second, pause for 1 sec, then play for 1 sec, ECT. That goes for both navigation interruptions or like text messages. Additionally the first part of every navigation direction is cut off. The only way to stop the buffering is to pause my music for about 5-10 seconds and then play it again. But if I get another notification it happens again. Wondering if this is a carrier thing or a phone thing. I've tried updating all the apps and restarting my phone and nothing seems to fix it.

What should I used on either side of this door trim I took off for maintenance?

There was some rotted wood behind it and I replaced that rotted wood with some help from my father in law. So I nailed this back on the wall after replacing the rotted wood, but do I use drywall mud between the seams? Or maybe just try and caulk it?

What is the max threshold the Navimow X4 can climb?

I've been thinking of buying the X4 in the spring but our patio is sunken about 1.5 inches below the dirt. Was wondering if that would be a problem for the mower to cross or if we would need to build a ramp for it so it can mow the edge of our patio. If I need a ramp what would you suggest I use to make one?

Is the 12" PB-2000 Pro too big of a sub for my space?

I was going to put it under the right side of my desk. Dimensions from the support beams to the wall by my robot vacuum is 18x11x8 which comes out to 1,584 SQFT. It's kind of a narrow room and while I want something nice I understand that going too big can sound worse than a smaller cheaper option. I do plan on getting isolation feet for it so my room doesn't rattle. Looking for others input and what they have experienced.

Dual Subwoofer recommendations for living room 16"x16" limitation

Budget is around $1000 a piece if possible. I've got roughly 16x16x24" by table height of space on either side of my 3 seater couch. I am located in the United States. it's not an ideal space for them but it's what I got. There will be a small side table in front of one of them and technically a support beam not too far in front of where I could fit the other. The table Legs are at least 12" apart. I like the big grand idea of a ported sub and I know SVS makes good subs. But only their SB or non ported subs would fit into that space. Was thinking about 2 SB 2000 but idk if there are compatible sized and quality ported subs for around the same price. Also this is for my living room which is kind of like a hallway. The listening area is 7.5 ft from the TV.

Why are my Steam downloads so slow?

We pay for gigabit at&t fiber and I'm using a ubiquity router, switch, and U7 Pro WAP ceiling mounted upstairs in the hallway in the middle of my house. My PC is downstairs in the middle of my house. I can get 100mb download all the way out to my shed and speed tests using wifi on my PC show at least 500mbps download. I understand it won't be as stable or fast as if I used an Ethernet cord, but I didn't expect it to be this slow. I'm currently trying to download a game on steam and am averaging 15mbps. It's a pretty powerful too. Everything else seems to run just fine around the house on WiFi even my TV which is right next to my computer. I don't even have problems gaming with friends on wifi. What should I be checking or trying to improve my download speed on steam?

What are alternative or more privacy focused phone brands and OS to consider?

My wife is considering looking for a new phone. She has been de-googling her life and moving to app stores like F-droid to retain privacy on her device. She is looking for a mid-to-higher tier phone like her S22+ and a stable OS that at least still allows the use of F-droid which I heard Google is trying to axe. She cares less about having higher quality cameras and just uses her phone for general surfing the web and messaging with people. No gaming or unnecessary high performance hardware needed. I know OnePlus is also going away and she is not interested in an iPhone so she would like to keep it with android. What should she consider?

Are critter guards worth it?

We have had birds nesting under our solar panels for months now and even if we get rid of the nest they just build another one. How likely and substantial is damage to our roof or solar system if we just let them continue nesting there? It's $2K to have someone install critter guards and get rid of the current nest. Do critter guards really work in preventing that? Has installing them or not installing them caused issues for you?

Mova LiDAX Ultra 2000 vs 3000 what's the difference?

I was looking at maybe buying the 3000 but at least on their site the 2000 AWD seems to have the exact same specs with the exception of 0.5 acres instead of 0.75. but if the the battery size, cut width, run time, distance per charge, and everything is the same is there really any reason to pay for 3000 model? Could the difference really just be the ability to map a larger area? Also people who have tried either mower, how have they performed?

Edit: I am referring to the two AWD models not the single wheel drive model.
