Ah I found it. You have to search for “TheQ”. “The Q” or “Q” doesn’t work. That said, the reviews are dismal. 1.7 rating right now.

I don’t see The Q on the Play Store. Am I missing something?

I had a ‘98 TJ years ago with those big rubber blocks on the front bumper. Used it to push a dumpster one time at work. It was one of those trash areas that has the big door and the garbage guys left the dumpster out too far. That was a satisfying experience.

“Someone in the office mentioned having a friend who claims to always keep $10,000"

Maybe it’s just me, but I kind of see charging times as a positive rather than a negative. It’s easy for an overworked tired trucker to fill up with diesel and keep motoring on even when they should be sleeping. If there’s some sort of mandatory delay while the truck recharges, maybe that’ll give them incentive to…

More than that, how often do you respond to satisfaction surveys? The vast majority of people responding are those giving a 1 or a 10. I mean if you don’t really care either way, you’re not going to respond. That alone skews the results.

Annnnd I just lost.

Looks like somebody has already done it: https://www.hackster.io/keithcroshaw/particle-blind-tilt-control-605638

Hm, that seems harder than it needs to be in my mind. Mine are standard blinds and all I really want it to do is tilt them open, not physically move the blinds up and down. I was thinking a simple servo that actually moves the tilt rod might work rather than figure out the logistics of building a whole new mechanism.

So would the Particle Photon be the way to go when building a rig to open blinds with voice control, or does something like that already exist?  

FedEx is complete garbage. I ordered a Google Home, 2 Mini’s, and a Chromecast Audio for Black Friday. I’m now on my THIRD delivery exception. All three were “did not attempt to deliver” and it looks like I’m on my fourth now since the package STILL hasn’t arrived.

I’m convinced Applebee’s (and by extension Ruby Tuesday) exist only for one reason. It’s because families argue for 45 minutes about where to eat and ultimately settle on Applebee’s.

These guys are freaking AWESOME. Just be prepared to sit and listen like all day, because everything they have is fire.

I’m on the fringe of needing a new car and went to take a look at a Mini Countryman yesterday. From a 10 minute review of the car, I feel I can confidently tell Mini why their cars aren’t selling.

I can’t really point out anything my parents did wrong. I had a good childhood and will mimic that for my own kids.

Went up “Firetower Road” which is aptly named as it’s an unimproved road leading to a fire tower on top of a mountain in western NC. This was during a fairly heavy snow storm, bordering on white out conditions. It was me in a 98 Jeep TJ and another group in a 97 XJ. The road was super steep too. We made it up to the…

My ‘99 has been sagging for the last 3 years. I never thought about this route. That sounds pretty cool actually. How hard was it to make that work?

This was the first vehicle I ever drove. Same year even. Ours was a maroon and gray monster. I floored it down our driveway somehow, and rather than crashing into the house, I drove it out into the middle of the front yard. There it stayed for about three days while we dug it out. It had rained a day before and the…

Thanks for the reply. Why Chromecast vs Roku for Youtube? You can cast from the Youtube app on your phone directly to the Roku with little to no problems from what I can see.

I bought my receiver specifically for its dual zone capabilities just for this purpose. I should be able to use one Chromecast for the receiver and switch the zones to wherever I want to listen I would think.
