    Home Theater Setup...

    True. But, sickbeard + couch potato + sabnzb + plex = HD TV heaven. Not for the faint of heart to setup though. Once you do you'll never go back.

    Home Theater Setup...

    You lost me at spinning optical drives. What is this blu-ray you speak of? You shouldn't aim lasers into the sky. ;-) We have no optical media. It's all streaming now. Blu-ray was a crutch to hold people over until they got decent bandwidth

    My Hopeless attempt with the $113.50 receiver

    Why would you hookup the stratux version a monitor? You don't use that in the cockpit. Why aren't you using the WiFi dongle and sdr? It seems like your trying to fly your living room and not following directions. Got my stratux up and running in 20 mins using the directions step-by-step...

    Who's up for renewing their AOPA membership for $1000

    A better question: Would you pay $1000 to have them stop nagging you to renew?

    Home Thermostats

    I'll give my vote for the Nest. Sometimes the in-laws stay at our house when we are away and just can't seem to figure out any thermostat. This weekend, we flew down to Oceano (L52) and they took over our house. We get a call saying "I think the thermostat is going crazy, the heater is on!"...

    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    BTW, there's a printable case already at thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:964678 It's a single ADS-B, you'll need a different case if you want two ADS-B receivers for 1090 as well.

    Rear-ended while stopped at red light...

    Not looking for a payday. Just car replacement, hospital/medical, lost wages. Before accepting any settlement, I want a little time for him to fully recover and see if anything pops up.

    Rear-ended while stopped at red light...

    I think we may consult a lawyer, but not let insurance company know. Just ask for things to watch out for, guidance, and if needed, we can hire later.

    Rear-ended while stopped at red light...

    Yes, we bought gap insurance. We were 50/50 on it, but glad we did now.

    Rear-ended while stopped at red light...

    He said he saw the car comming, but he had no time to react. A car coming ~40mph at you doesn't leave much time to do anything..muchless process anything. Even if he had stepped on the gas, turned the wheel to the shoulder, he wouldn't have gotten far.

    Rear-ended while stopped at red light...

    This confirms kind of what I was thinking...don't settle too fast. I have a good friend that was in an accident several years ago. He settled pretty fast thinking there was nothing major. About 5-6 months later, he started having problems with his back...his doctors point to the accident...

    Rear-ended while stopped at red light...

    Yesterday my better half was rear ended (car #2) while stopped at a red light, behind another car (car #1). This was a red light on a freeway on-ramp meter. Other driver (car #3) "was distracted". When there is no red light, the average speed is between 45-50. Other car's airbags deployed, not...

    How to safely simulate engine out on climb out ?

    Please have someone record this from the ground, in another country. :-). This sounds like a death wish. Doing this, say at at 3k. Start a climb at Vy and do your simulation with engine idle. Probably don't want tonturn a simulated emergency into a real one. Disclaimer: I'm a noob.
