Finally gave in and bought a pair of truly wireless earbuds for the gym. I had the kind that connected the two by wire, but they keep falling out when I'm using a bench.

How's the coverage? I have an old TP-link AC1200 and figure its time to upgrade

I forsook TP-Link for my routers, especially with their habit of abandoning products when it came to security updates.

My Asus RT-AX3000 has been going strong now for 5+ years (and the last security update was in October). One caveat is I have only had to provide coverage in apartments of ~1000 sqft; but the coverage has been great.

Coverage seems to be great. I have the 2nd node on the other end of the house, and my daughters desktop is wireless and she was getting the same speeds. I was amazed at just how easy setup was. Obviously not a network guy but it was practically plug and play with following instructions from the app. I'm not a huge fan, but you can only do install and management through the TPlink Deco app from what I understand. Again, not a network guy so I don't mind it too much, but for more savvy users they might not like it.
 
Since the big heavy cast iron wok i got is too heavy for the wife to use, i will need to get a thin cast iron wok.

Saw one at Target site (see below), but wife's friend has recommend a similar one from a small Asian gardening site that has one on sales with free spatula and mitten.

Will see how that goes since it will be less than 4 lbs in weight.

That's the model I got when I wanted a lighter and thinner wok to see if it would get hot enough on my puny entry level stainless steel stove. Although I got the 14" version. Definitely a lot lighter and easier to handle, so 11.5" is gonna be easier obviously.

Do you have a wok spatula btw? That's an amazing tool for flipping things around in the wok without lifting it.

I've got a similar wok, also the same size. I've only cooked with it a few times but my food is sticking. I've been looking for a steel one but I'd have to season it and don't think my range gets hot enough. I'm a noob at cooking with a wok though so it could just be me.

Would that work with a used one? I've got all kinds of scratches in it.

I don't see why not. The wok I'm using now I fished out of a dumpster. It was lightly used when I found it but had some rust. Normal exclusions apply to seasoning steel. No detergent, don't get carried away with water, don't clean at all if you don't have to. I don't clean any of my iron/steel unless it had something gross in it. I just wipe it out.

Thank you! I have no idea what the hell it is but it's interesting. I'll search a bit and see what I can find.

Rockpanel Uni façade panel 6 × 1200 × 2500 mm RAL 7016 is a durable façade panel ideal for use on gables, dormers, fascias, solutions along rooflines, and other building details—both for new construction and renovation projects.
Rockpanel Uni is made from basalt, a readily available volcanic rock, which is combined with an organic binder. Rockpanel Uni façade panels are available in classic RAL colours that retain their appearance for many years.
Rockpanel Uni is a “stable” façade panel that is not affected by weather or temperature. This means the panels do not expand or contract after installation. Under certain conditions, Rockpanel Uni façade panels can therefore be installed with butt joints, creating an exceptionally clean, sleek, and minimalist appearance.
The façade panels are extremely easy to install, as they weigh as little as 6.3 kg/m² for a 6 mm panel, meaning lifting equipment is not required. Rockpanel Uni façade panels can be mounted directly onto wooden structures with a layer of EPDM tape between the wood and the panel.

Yep, I hardly clean the old heavy wok too after cooking. Most i did was wipe it a little with a paper towel.

If i really had to wash it, just hot water and a bamboo brush. Like what lxskllr said, do not use dish soap ever!

After ordering the smaller wok from that Asian gardening site and got the shipping notification, wife said i can cook since I like cooking... so i am going to return it lol

Yep, I had the flat ladle one, not the round ladle that most restaurant use.
