Another price increase?

We've been with Dish 25 years. Got on their Flex Pack 10 years ago which then was a great option at under $50, under $75 with 3 pieces of equipment. As years went by, I kept dropping equipment to keep price reasonable. Now with just one hopper, my bill is now $114! Now with no CNN and several other missing channels.

I do use my daughter's YTTV streaming, but can't get my wife off Dish. She likes the guide and DVR far more than anything else she's tried. Does Dish just want to get people off the Flex Pack? Is there anything cheaper? "Happy wife, happy life" just might have to come to an end!

LG wt6105cw noises

Brand new washer. Does a good job washing clothes, and it's quieter than the Maytag Bravos it replaced. But there's an odd noise during rinse and spin cycle that I'm not sure is normal. It's not the tub, because it continues when spinning stops. It's like a clutch is slipping. Here's a video. Turn audio up.

Borates?

Just tried this, great ui and works well. Looks like it follows TFP methods. Is there a place to enter Borates? That will effect CSI.

Sleep number calculation

This is last night's sleep score, me & wife. Does anyone know how score is calculated and how they can they be so different? 9 minutes extra awake and score drops 13 points? Both Charge 6 about same age.

Adding mix-ins.

Can a half gallon of vanilla be thawed to a certain temperature (stirrable), mix-ins be stirred in, and refrozen? I can't find a chocolate chip I like. Closest is Baskin Robbins, but I like the flavor of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla much better. Most chocolate chip varieties are too sparse or too chunky. I'd like to mix-in shaved chocolate. Yeah, I could do a bowl at a time, but would rather just scoop it out.

Clean after each use!

Saw a post about "gunk" inside the cup lid. I looked at mine and wasn't bad, so a ran hot water into the hole by the lever and seemed to clear it out. Very poor design!

Then I got to looking the the spindle gear on the main unit. Dried up ice cream in every tooth and around the surface. Takes a knife to scrap it out. I'll be cleaning it after each use from now on!

Put it all back together and ran a cycle without the inner cup. Fun to watch the blade go up and down with everything clear. Everything seems to snap in place better than usual.

Ants in tub

Maybe once a week I'll see 2-3 dozen dead flying ants (I assume) in my white bathtub. One or two are crawling around. Usually 2 or 3 "big" ones (3/32") and a bunch of really small ones (1/32"). I vacuum them up, nothing for a week, then another batch. Nothing anywhere else. I've sprayed inside and outside. What else can I do?

Home delivery tipping

I've read several posts about tipping and am confused. I've read that driver's get $19 per hour with tips included. If they get $15 in tips, HEB pays them the $4 difference. If they get no tips, HEB pays them $19.

Is this true? If the driver gets a cash tip, does he have to report it? In which case he gets $19 + the tip?

Does the $5 delivery fee go to the driver? Does the 3% food mark-up go to the driver?

I've read some drivers don't care whether they get tips, they get a full wage either way. If so, why tip? I'd rather have HEB pay the driver than me.

My Whole Foods Haul

I've tried most, just don't care for that Watermelon one. Way to tart, not sweet at all.

3gb data add-on

This used to be $10 for 3gb data when you needed it. Now it says 3gb data + 3k texts and 3k calls, $10/mo. This doesn't continue monthly does it?

Sleep editing broke

Since update, I can no longer edit sleep in some cases. It recorded that I slept from 4pm to 7am last night. I tried to edit, since I know it should be closer to 11pm to 7am. It gives error that it conflicts with another reading. I double checked day and hours, it doesn't, and there are no other segments from last night.

It's like it picked up a nap, but connected it all afternoon and night. It shows awake with one long session from 4:30pm to about 11pm. I can not remove it! Before update it would easily be removed.

2026 350e RZ base or Ioniq 5 Limited?

I've been looking at upgrading my Bolt EUV. Since wife and I share it, we really want memory seats. My issue is our local Lexus dealer won't have one in until mid July. I'm wanting to see how dark the 2 black/gray colors are (in Texas, want lighter), don't like the orange. Also having a hard time finding an Ioniq 5 with gray interior. Either car is ending close to same cost.

Lemon Blueberry

Just picked this up. Very good with slightly off texture. It has slivers of frozen lemon that are a bit "icy", but other than that it's great. Not as tart as I'd like, but it won't last a week in this house! Can't beat under $6 on sale. 8/10

New grill or new parts?

I have an 18 year old Prestige 2 450, built in, propane. Needs new sear plates, but they're $250-$350 to replace! Are new models better (igniting, cooking, cleaning)? Or are there cheaper 15.125" sear plates?
