Serpentine Pie Weight

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll say this is an unusual pie weight configuration. But, it works. Not used it as a trivet, though. I suppose it would be fine for that, too.

Practically Perfect Panasonic Player!
on April 11, 2025
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
Only giving 4 stars because this player hasn't been used for very long. Yet. But, Panasonic tech is known to be good. And I've always had good luck with Panasonic. This was purchased for a church to use. Set up was easy. Image quality is fine. It's responsive to remote commands in a timely manner.

A Small Fee for Better Sound
on January 3, 2025
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
A good product from Insignia. The installation to a tv with a mounting kit was easy enough. The HDMI connection via the TCL tv took a little patience for it to initialize, no biggie, however. For a low end, low priced soundbar, it has above average output. The bass is lacking, but, again, it's a small, lower end sound device. I gave it 4 stars because the HDMI port was sloppy. I tried 2 different HDMI cables. Both really loose in the port.

Quick Cuisinart Coffee Critique
on September 27, 2024
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
At this writing, we've been using it for about 3 weeks. Solid, reliable coffee maker. Easy to clean the "gold" filter and the pot after each use. Coffe tastes as good, or better, than previous Mr. Coffee brand. One think I did'nt fully realize: it has a charcoal filter in the water tank and it should be replaced from time to time. Right now that's an added cost of around .75 to a dollar every month. I gave the 4 stars because I haven't really used this long enough to be sure of an "excellent" rating.

To celebrate the 90th anniversary of Universal Monsters~ acclaimed silver-screen classic, NECA announces an Ultimate action figure of the most famous vampire of them all~ Dracula! We worked closely with the estate of Bela Lugosi to capture the actor~s expressive likeness in three different head sculpts, and for additional background detail on important costume elements. Standing in 7~ scale, the Ultimate Dracula (Transylvania) action figure has a soft goods cape and comes in premium anniversary packaging with plenty of accessories: 3 interchangeable heads, interchangeable hands, large bat, wine bottle, goblets, candlestick and serving plate.

Lugosi Would be Proud
on August 26, 2024
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
NECA always does a pretty fine job with their action figures of famous beings. Usually the head/face of the figure is quite difficult for a lot of the companies that produce these collectibles. I'd say that NECA gets it right 95% or more of the time (from the ones I've seen or purchased. This Dracula figure is worth the price if you like Bela Lugosi as the famous vampire.

You Seek YODA!
on September 14, 2023
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
In the summer of 1980 I saw this second installment of the "original" SW movies in the theater. It was an event. I had mixed feelings about the story and the reveal of father/son connections. Back in 1980 it seemed the story's last act could be a ploy by Vader to destroy Luke. Kind of a forced plot twist (not to be funny). Nonetheless, it remains a memorable movie and arguably the best of the '77 to '83 SW movies.
This steelbook is great. The images are super crisp, too.
Are you a SW fan? Buy this.

Lucas the Trooper
on March 17, 2023
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
A cool idea to put into production. It's the creator of Star Wars in a "bad guys" costume. What's funny is that the version of Lucas is the older one, but in the throw-back to the 1980-ish packaging. Anyway, an interesting addition to the collection.

I have Spectrum which has up to 200 mps. Will I get the full speed with this router

It depends on several factors. In short, yes, or at least close. Provided the distance of the cable from the Spectrum gateway/device is close enough to the Netgear router and the end device (smartphone, television, media streaming unit, etc.) is also fairly nearby with few barriers (walls mainly).

Isolate distracting noises when listening to music with these Samsung Galaxy Buds+ earphones. The built-in woofer and tweeter in each bud deliver exceptional sound accuracy for a truly immersive experience, while the noise-canceling microphones ensure your voice is loud and clear during calls. These light blue Bluetooth Samsung Galaxy Buds+ earphones feature adjustable tip sizes for a snug, comfortable fit.
 

What is the range on these? Do I have to have my phone right with me or can I walk away say like 80 or 100 ft away. I don’t want to drop calls going out to the backyard if my phone is on the charger in the house

It may vary a bit depending upon what brand/model of smartphone you are using. Most Bluetooth devices (like these earbuds) have a typical range of 25' to 30' plus some. Without any barriers, like a wall or windows, you may reach close to 40' in receiving range. Using only the smartphone Bluetooth and the earbuds I doubt you will reach 80'.

Will this SSD work on an HP pavilion G-7 model?

I don't see why it wouldn't fit your Pavilion. Not sure if you would need to employ the adapter to replace the HDD. That's easy enough, though. Search YouTube if you need answers for install.
