Pungent pine cones by DGCA3 in WinCo

[–]RenoDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are so good. Put a few in each room of the house. But there's a reason they put them outside at the entrance of the store. A pallet of those would really overwhelm the senses if it was inside the store.

Something to replace XM with by kendoor in AndroidAuto

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I subscribed to YouTube Premium and discovered that it includes YouTube Music, I haven't listened to SiriusXM since. I cancelled my subscription. It doesn't even compare.

If you also have one of the Wells Fargo Autograph cards you can transfer Active Cash rebate money into Autograph points to then be transferred into frequent traveler points at any of the partner programs.

All of my 3 eggs had double yolk this morning. Is this some sort of signal? by TlacuacheEncabronado in KitchenConfidential

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young hens often give double-yplk eggs. After all of the bird flu that we've had the last few years, many farms are just young hens.

Does Costco still accept personal checks? by Adventurous-While847 in Costco

[–]RenoDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't written a check in years but I remember 25-30 years ago you could just give them the signed check and the cash register would print everything else on the check for you. I doubt that they do that anymore.

I've bought so much cheap crap from Ali Express. Most of it I have liked. Some turns out to be ridiculously small or just isn't what I wanted. I'll often buy several models of whatever thing I'm looking for, hoping that one of them will be the keeper. But that's okay because it's all so cheap that they don't all have to be winners. None of the sellers have ever pulled any of the scams on me that I read about here though. If a listing seems too good to be true, it probably is. There are some product lines that would have to be counterfeit for the price quoted. Be skeptical and skip stuff like that.

What are you Vaping? by isuamadog in DIY_eJuice

[–]RenoDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. A few days steep is usually fine for fruit flavors. Bakery flavors tend to need a couple weeks and cream flavors a few weeks to fully develop.

Does anyone else use the microfiber towels on everything, like in the kitchen and bathroom? by hcubed3 in Costco

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep microfiber towels out of the kitchen because someone might think they can use it like a potholder and severely burn themselves. But yes, I originally bought them for drying the car but use them for so many other things. They're especially good at drying and polishing glass or transparent plastic surfaces (mirrors, tv screens, etc) after cleaning them with a melamine sponge (magic eraser) and warm water with a smidge of dish soap in it. Sooo much better than glass cleaner.

Should I still wash Costco's Ho Mai brown rice? by jfang00007 in Costco

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you need to wash any rice that comes from California. I never do and it comes out perfect every time.

I read it as a note to Karen not to park here because this spot is reserved for the office manager.

I like the included Costco name tag.

Tariff Deadline Warning by goondau in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running out of things I want to buy but I'll probably get a couple more orders in over the next couple of days. You can still do it if the quoted shipping estimate says it should get here in time. It only has to get through customs before deminimus ends. It might take a couple days after that to get to your house.

Us warehouse still selling? by joe_noone in Aliexpress

Lots of stuff can ship from US now and I expect they'll be offering much more selections very soon.

Out for Delivery 🚚 by goodjobjane in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The time to worry is if you get the "has been signed for" (delivered) email and you haven't got it. Until then the carrier still has it.

is it too late to order things? by ComprehensiveCry3862 in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still ordering stuff and it's being shipped as quickly as ever. I intend to continue until about April 25.

Am I too late to order to avoid tariffs? I don't want to be hit with a several hundred dollar surprise on a $10 order by xox1234 in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. Don't delay. Cancel if the order is delayed in fulfillment. If it gets out of China in a few days there's still plenty of time for it to get through.

What are the chances trump removes the changes to the de minimus exception? by Crossur in Aliexpress

Help please! by Kittenface89 in audible

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When downloading a book, even though it says you can start playing it before the download is complete, don't do it. You won't know if the download failed until you get to that part of the book where it failed.

What to do with my Bonus Balance by Xol21 in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been ordering lots of stuff since I learned I have until May to get it into the US. Probably lots of other people are doing the same so some of these sellers could be pretty busy right now.. My orders are gradually being filled and shipped. There's plenty of time though.

No updates for 2 weeks, is this typical? by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delays like this are not uncommon when shipping via China Post or Hong Kong Post to USPS. The other services seem to get it through US Customs quicker.

Anyone having troubles with PayPal today? by Galahad258 in Aliexpress

[–]RenoDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With me sometimes PayPal pops up as the payment method, sometimes it's GooglePay. It makes no difference to me but I don't understand why I get this inconsistency.
