    Considering a superautomatic

    Got a text confirmation and an email from Whole Latte Love stating delivery next week...4/23-4/26. I ordered filters from Amazon as the water at the beach house is rated at moderately hard. Now to find some beans to my liking. Got some double wall especially glasses we've never used as well as...

    Considering a superautomatic

    OK...I just ordered it. Whole Latte Love has it in silver on their website for $350 but it's $300 for the silver on their eBay outlet store and that's where I ordered it from. The milk-based drinks are secondary for us. What gets lubrication on these things and with what, synthetic silicone grease?

    Considering a superautomatic

    From what I've read, you need to rinse the brew head thoroughly a few times a week depending upon use. You also need to descale every 3-4 months depending on water hardness but I'd probably use these type filters in it: AQUACREST TÜV SÜD Certified Coffee Water Filter, Replacement for Brita®...

    Considering a superautomatic

    I've found these superautomatic espresso/coffee machines fascinating ever since I frequented our group's HQ in Erbenheim, Germany when I was working. Espresso, double shots, cappuccino if desired...all with the press of a button. That one in our office was a commercial machine with a direct...

    Sudden loss of network connection newer phone

    No. It's the same coverage as T-Mobile. That's a fact. Same dead spots too...at least in the areas we typically travel....Philadelphia metro area-Cape May County NJ and areas in between. In fact, Google Fi also includes the US Cellular network for roaming but that's for the more rural areas in...

    Sudden loss of network connection newer phone

    Yes. Google Fi is T-Mobile...the same T-Mobile service I used for 20+ years. The same coverage and 5g...it's just cheaper and more straightforward than what T-Mobile has become. Also, when I call for tech support, a human answers within 1 minute. I bought the phone from Google Fi...free after 2...

    Sudden loss of network connection newer phone

    My wife's iPhone had no problem and signal strength was excellent as she was with me. I believe it was some sort of software glitch involving my phone(Pixel 7a) and it being registered correctly to the Google Fi account. The troubleshooting did not involve removing or touching the sim card. It...

    Sudden loss of network connection newer phone

    I have been using a Google Pixel 7a since October with Google Fi and all worked flawlessly until yesterday afternoon. While driving home, it suddenly dropped data connection and got a No SIM Card detected notification. I restarted the phone...same thing. Went through the troubleshooting steps...

    Canceled Sirius XM

    I know they sell the power lift gate struts for my RX350 on eBay for a fraction of what the dealership charges. Installing them is a different story but I'm not sure it's all that difficult but you need a solid support for the tailgate to hold it open while you do it. I routinely lube mine with...

    Canceled Sirius XM

    Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that the skip function worked from my steering wheel. I like the radio station format of Pandora too. It's figured out the music you like overtime by your thumbs up or down and the algorithm does a great job of playing your preferred type of tracks. Although...

    I will just leave this here

    That alongside a pellet grill is pretty much an outdoor kitchen.

    Canceled Sirius XM

    I've had the Pandora $5/month service for 5+ years on my phone. Don't recall ever seeing the pay up front for the $1/month discount but now I'll look.. I never connected or tried trial services offered by Sirius for both our cars...which are both 2016 model years. It's a simple Bluetooth...

    OK, but that doesn't mean that people know these different and very strange codes. I know I don't.

    But wouldn't it be simpler and more practical to just call him by his name? Sorry, I never saw this DH thing before.

    I'm sorry but what/who is a DH? Designated Hitter in baseball but don't get the use in BBQ context.
