Hello,

My twins are arriving this fall, and I wanted to start writing letters to them. This is something I want to do through their childhood, to give to them later. However I'm stuck at the beginning. I can't get past it needing to be perfect, and don't know what quality, type, or size of paper I should get. I want it to feel nice in the hands, be nice to write on, and last for years. Should I just do plain printer paper size, or something a bit smaller? I could really use some help getting pointed in the right direction, as this is just something I don't have any knowledge on and the results online point me in a million directions.

Thanks!

We recently painted a guest bedroom/office Benjamin Moore Mayonnaise in eggshell. We were going for a warmer, softer white. We'll also be using it in a nursery. We also put in a hickory pergo laminate flooring.

The trim is currently a stained pine that doesn't match the flooring, and I'd like to paint the floor, door and window trim. The window sash is also unpainted, which I'd like to change as well. I'm torn between two options:

Should I use the same color with a semi-gloss, or should I move to a slightly whiter look like White Dove? I'm torn on not wanting the walls to look like the landlord special, all one color, but also don't want to risk a white trim/window making the mayonnaise lo

Hoping to get some advice. We bought a house with a finished basement, and turned it into our den. It has our good TV, as well as all of the good speakers. Currently running an AVR-S760H, SVS Prime Center and Towers, a Speedwoofer Mk2, and 2 older Boston Acoustic bookshelfs as surrounds. We spend all of our evenings and casual time down there.

We're realizing that a basement with a single tiny window isn't really where we want to do the majority of our TV watching, especially for just casually watching TV while doing work or hanging out. So the plan is to move the S95B upstairs into a living room, get a good projector for the basement den, and use the den for movie nights with big sound, so

Hi there,

We're soon to be moving into a house in the Milton/Colchester area of Vermont. It has a gas fireplace, but we really don't have much interest in it long term. It has a very large mantle that we'd like to get rid of also. I know it won't be a simple swap, but we're hoping to eventually get the gas fireplace ripped out and swapped with a free standing wood stove.

Can anyone recommend a dealer/company they've used so we can get an estimate for the work?

Hi all,

Relocating to Vermont for work at UVM, and currently shopping around for apartments or potentially homes to stay for the indefinite future. I saw a few homes in the Colchester and Milton areas that are cute, but they are pretty close to the train tracks (some you can actually see from the house).

Does anyone have any insight into that area of the state and the use/loudness of that train line? From my research it looks like 2 Amtraks a day, but maybe an unpredictable amount of freight? I'm wondering if it's heavily trafficked, if they move freight at all hours of the night, or if it's more like a freight train would more likely go by once a week during the day type of situation.

How do I get to it? I have OTA antenna set up, and every so often I accidentally activate the full screen guide for the channels, but have no idea how I am supposed to do it on purpose. What am I doing?

Hoping someone has a better solution to this. We have various departments at work and provide them with a budget. What we've been doing is using zapier and google sheets. Whenever a new or bill is created, it triggers a zap. It will pull information, mainly for expenses it would pull the information about a purchase. In the line-item details, it would extract this: "AccountRef": { "name": "Maintenance and Repair", "value": "72"

It would take the account name, and search it against a table I had to figure out which google sheet and tab it needed. Problem is, Intuit seems to have silently changed what that field shows. It used to show the account full name "##

Hoping to clarify this as I've seen a lot of varying thoughts on this. My current house has a ton of coax hookups all over the house. A quick peek in the basement shows that coax is run all over the place. However outside, there is a splitter and only one cable goes to the second floor den where the internet comes in.

Looking at it now, the cable goes from the pole, to a splitter outside the house, and up through the wall of the second floor into a wall box where the indoor coax is plugged into and then fed into my modem. I want to move my home office down to a room in the back of the house on the first floor, which has a hookup spot. From my investigation, there's an unplugged cable next

I've always been an Xbox user, and recently got a PS5. Love it, however I've been noticing that any extended gameplay leads to both of my thumbs being very stiff and sore. This can last for days.

I don't know if that means that controller fits too big in my hands or too small, but I assume it's too big and I'm stretching my thumbs too much. I always thought I had average hands, but maybe not.

Either way, would my issue be resolved with the Edge instead, or are they identical controllers and my hand position/amount of thumb reach wouldn't change?

I finally said it was time, and had my first flight on VATSIM. Thank you very much to the patient ground controller at KBDL.

I was very nervous, but I had the ATIS information (which I now realize I don't know if I read back out to him) and stared at the mic button. Whoever worked ground at KBDL was extremely patient, asked me to spell out where I was going and my stupid brain proceeded to phonetically spell out the word Northampton instead of giving them the airport code.

I'm also pretty sure I didn't taxi via taxiway Sierra and actually taxied on the roadway for vehicles next to the taxiway.

I did successfully take off and do my VFR flight up the CT river to Northampton. Thanks again

I'm very new to to all of this stuff, but I've been slowly building up my setup. Currently have a 3.1 setup consisting of two Boston Acoustic CR6 Bookshelf Speakers, an SVS Prime Center and a RSL 10S MkII Subwoofer. Current setup has all inputs going into the AVR and then the output goes into the eARC HDMI port on a Samsung S95B.

I feel like I'm constantly changing settings, but there were a few questions I had to make sure I wasn't doing things redundantly.

1. Do the settings persist between inputs or do I need to set up speaker settings how I want for each input? It feels like they are the same with the exception of TV Audio and Music
2. Will settings on the AVR influence what format it

I've started investing in higher quality cartridges, like the live rosin instead of distillate. Currently I only have a cheap corner store battery that looks like a pen.

I like to keep my vape upright to prevent clogging, but then any bump to my desk and it falls over. This has unfortunately resulted in the glass cracking on my cartridge. So I was looking for a good, modestly priced standard cartridge size battery. One that has a wide base, temp/voltage control, and even cooler if the cartridge sits in the battery and just the mouthpiece sticks out. And also something built to last.

Anyone have any favorites?
