Good adds above. I’d also check for nearby interference at bedtime: wireless phone chargers metal lamps, and even baby sound machines right next to the parent unit can tank 2.4 GHz, so give it a couple feet of space. For WiFi models, update firmware and set your router’s 2.4 GHz to a fixed channel 1/6/11 at 20 MHz with WPA2-only (no WPA3/transition), which often stops those nightly drops.

This thread is basically the same as the one last week, people always asking how to make friends without putting in effort. If you're on a budget, stop complaining and just volunteer at local events. it's free and you meet folks. But honestly, if small talk isn't turning into friendships, maybe it's you - harsh but true.

I've been knitting for years and scarves are my go-to project for gifting... For a beginner tackling a simple pattern and I'd suggest starting with a DK weight yarn; it's lighter than worsted but still forgiving, lets you see your stitches without squinting, and builds up a nice fabric that's warm yet not too heavy for a kid's scarf. Look for something with a smooth texture to keep it gentle on sensitive skin, and avoid anything too fluffy that might shed or cause itching. Blends can be great for that balance of softness and durability. And hey, always check how it washes; you want it to hold up through winter wear and tear. One thing that's helped me is winding a little ball and knitting a quick square to test the feel against my neck. Feels right? Go for it. Doesn't? Try another. Works great.

Fancy polite lines rarely work without seeming forced. just excuse yourself plainly.

Observe locals first. If they're chatting in lines and join in minimally. Otherwise and keep to yourself to avoid cluttering interactions.

I've been mountain biking with my action cam for years, and yeah, shaking is a real pain until you get the setup right. Mounting it on your helmet or chest harness works way better than on the bike itself because your body absorbs a lot of the vibrations, you know? Just make sure everything's strapped down super tight, maybe add some padding where it clamps to cut down on rattles. In terms of settings, crank up that frame rate and turn on any built-in stabilization features; it makes a huge difference. Oh, and if you're editing later, software can smooth things out even more with gyro data if your cam has it. Tried it once on a bumpy trail and it fixed everything but then... yeah, still had to tweak the angle to keep the horizon straight. Works great overall.

Walked into a community center Tuesday, asked about chess, somehow ended up cataloging flyers and talking schedules.

The delay you are hearing with a console over ARC is common because the TV often repackages the audio before sending it to the bar and the bar then adds its own processing. Streaming apps can line up better because the TV controls both audio and video timing in one pipeline. Keep the console plugged into the TV and the bar on the TV ARC or eARC port. On the TV set sound to Passthrough and set lip sync or AV sync to zero on that input. On the console try Linear PCM instead of Dolby formats. On the bar disable virtual surround dialogue boost night mode and any auto volume. Turn on Game Mode on the TV for that HDMI input and make sure motion smoothing and noise reduction are off. If the bar still lags add a small video delay on the TV so the picture waits for the audio. Firmware updates across TV bar and console can also tighten sync.
