They are packaging it with a new router if I'm not mistaken that comes with an 8 hour battery back up to avoid down times but that alone tells me that upgrading from 1 to 2 GB isn't worth it. It's $20 more a month.

I already have a pretty good UPS for back ups and I'm not sure anything besides my laptop handles more than 1 GB and most of my smart home devices run on zigbee.

Just curious what y'all think?

I'm listening to book one again after finishing my book 8 reread and a lot of stuff stands out to me about how Carl talks, thinks and carries himself plus all the shows Donut talks about later on seem like shows an older man would watch not someone who's 27. He talks about "the Instagram". Never heard a 27 year old talk about social media like that. He feels like someone who would be closer to his forties or more rather than a 27 year old. Even moving forward a lot of his decisions seem like those of an older man.

It's averaging 100°F here it's only supposed to get hotter. I'm running a lot on my mini server so I'm hitting 98°C constantly. I expect it to get worse as it gets hotter and was thinking of adding fans to the outside.

Actually I'm open to any recommendations. I would like to keep my server running 24/7

This is not a posts intended to bash on Chime or anything like that but this is the first time that using my Chime CC has affected my credit score. I use my chime CC for everything and I have it set up to take out the funds immediately so I was surprised to see them report consecutive months of $3-5K usage and actually affecting my credit score and I'm not talking about Credit Karma that goes up and down daily but my Experian FIco score.

This is unfortunately gonna make it me use it less. What has been your experience with the Chime CC?

I just recently started watching horror movies since my GF loves them to the point of going to sleep with them playing. I told her that I had never seen the original horror movies like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street etc. and we decided to start with Friday the 13th and honestly I don't understand how it got so many sequels and how Jason became a horror Icon. I know he was barely in the movie and I'm sure there will be more answers in the subsequent movies but how did anyone watch Friday the 13th and say "I want more"?.

Was it a hit when it came out? I will continue to watch the rest of the movies but I just don't get it

Do you feel like you understood and appreciated the story more by actually reading the books and not just reading them? I've listened to every book only twice so far and I'm still catching new stuff every time and when I come to reddit I realize I haven't understood or caught 90% of the references and story lines.

I've listened to all the audio books as stated before and I'm thinking of reading all the books now especially after getting book 8 and being able to read all of the Pineapple Cabaret stuff.

I have HA set up with remote access as I'm not always home. I have motion sensors ( I want presence sensors but $49.99 seems steep), smart lights, smart plugs that I use to know when her concentrater is on and so I can turn her AC on/off and I have her Dexcom connected so I can check her sugar and temp sensors that are life savers with temps reaching 108° lately.

I have a few window/door sensors also but not sure how to use them since we don't really close door in my house.

Anything you can recommend?

I thought my substitles were just bad on most of my shows until I used my iPad to watch the same shows and noticed that all the subtitles worked perfectly fine and lined up right.

Movies seem to be fine but damn near every TV show has wonky subtitle timing.

I know this is a very touchy subject but I am genuinely looking for a real conversation and opinions here. I'm a 40 year old dude who's been into county music for about 6 years now and some of my favorite songs are newer country songs. I'm slowly finding older songs I like and I'd like to find more but I have also found a ton of "old" country songs that make me understand why it got such a bad rap and why so many people dislike or make fun of country music.

Obviously but all old country songs are great but country music fans act like all new country songs are bad. Yes a ton of it is too "poppy" but even those aren't horrible.

What's the hate for county music and how can you tell me that Austin by Blake Shelton is better than Sangria?

Seriously no spoilers.

I got about 4 hours left in the book and I am enjoying it but I definitely don't feel as invested. It feels like it's more shock and awe and moving too damn fast. Still a fan will still relistening but I feel a disconnect. Anyone else?
