  1. I've never been, so I would like to go this year. For anyone who has been to it, there are several options when choosing seat location, so what would be the best viewing? There's infield options, and seats at each turn, etc. Would like to hear opinions and experiences from those who have went. Thanks.
  2. Yes, it's an all electric house. The heat pump and furnace were near the highest end of the spectrum of energy efficient when they were installed in 2010. The windows in my house were installed in 2000 by the po's and appears to be about as basic of a vinyl window as you could get.

     

    Thanks for all the feedback. After further consideration, I pulled the trigger and decided to do new windows and will have to do it in phases as it's too much money to install 21 high quality windows all at the same time. I'm having the main living areas done first. I feel pretty confident my reduced electric bill will make up for this cost fairly quickly.

  3. After a $600 electric bill this month (every winter I get at least 2 of these size bills), I'm seriously considering looking for either solar or wind generated electric for my house. I'm also looking at replacing all windows and doors, as those may be the biggest culprit for my outrageous bills.

     

    I have a 2,500-ish sq ft ranch brick house (not counting the full basement). I believe which ever route I go, doors/windows or solar/wind power, I'm looking at about $20,000. I'm just trying to decide which would be the better bang for the buck. Spending this much money is extremely stressful.

     

    Has anyone looked into this and/or purchased a renewable energy system? If so, what did you choose and why? If you haven't, but was in the market, what would you be looking into?

  4. So I have found that with Terrarium, if I choose any of the higher quality streams, it's basically unplayable; it buffers way too much. I scroll down to something that 720p or lower and it works ok. It might buffer a time or two, but I hit pause, wait a minute and it'll keep playing.

     

    I think maybe this weekend I'm going to try loading VLC and set Terrarium to use VLC and see if that makes any difference.

     

    If that doesn't help, I'm contemplating doing a factory reset on the Amazon stick and starting over from scratch. I'm actually wondering if it is something with the stick because even on the Amazon home page, it's super slow scrolling down from section to section.

  5. These trucks are getting obnoxiously huge.

     

    ...and obnoxiously expensive. I think it will be safe to say that I will never own a new truck. I'll stick to trucks that don't require a 2nd mortgage and trucks that I can actually work on.

  6. That's weird. Kodi never worked right for me. Extremely laggy/glitchy and the links were very unreliable. A search usually took several minutes.

     

    Terrarium with the recommended codecs, and MX player. Flawless so far. No VPN

     

    I am using the mx player and no vpn as well. I didn't load any codecs though. It seemed to me with this latest version of the MX player, I shouldn't have to. I'll give it a whirl though to see if that helps.

  7. Holy shit man, thanks a ton for suggesting Terrarium, it works pretty well! I was ready to throw this fire stick in the trash because of Kodi, I just assumed every other similar kind of app would be shit too. I'm amazed at how quick/smooth/reliable this interface is compared to Kodi

     

    I loaded Terrarium. For me, the playback was worse than Kodi. Browsing the interface was extremely slow.

     

    What player are you guys using with Terrarium?

    Are you using a VPN?

  8. Download Terrarium. That's what I switched to from Kodi/Exodus. Haven't had an issue watching a movie or tv show.

     

    Haven't heard of this one. I'll have to see if I have enough space on my firestick to add this one without deleting kodi.

  9. Those of you running Kodi/Exodus on the Amazon stick, have you noticed several of the network menus not loading? I'm trying to remember the menu choices off the top of my head, but you go into TV Shows, then choose Networks, and when you select any of the networks, the screen just flashes the loading circle for a quick second and that's it. I recently updated Kodi to the latest version, but this problem started a month after doing that, so I don't think it's related. Right now we have to search for everything and typing the name out with the remote sucks big fat floppy donkey dick. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
  10. Watched another weird movie last night 'Mother!'. You kind of want to turn it off, but at the same time, you want to wait a few more minutes to see what happens next. And Michelle Pfeiffer's in it, so there's that.
  11. Watched one over the weekend that was a different kind of horror/drama movie. 'It Comes At Night'. Pretty much the entire time I was like, wtf is going on?

     

    Watched Logan Lucky this weekend as well. With the way it ended, I'm wondering if there will be a 2nd one.
