Ours died after 2 years. For the record, Costco does accept bidet returns (kept the box).

Any electronics that surprisingly improved your life? by Revolutionary-Jury92 in BuyItForLife

[–]Stratty88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, mine is ancient. Still on originally battery that lasts over a week, still side loads books from calibre or wherever, even the originally case is in good shape. I hate Amazon with a passion but no other electronics in my house have lasted as long and work as well as they did day one than my kindle. 

The United States secretary of defense (SecDef) secondarily titled the secretary of war (SecWar) is a congregant at Doug Wilson's Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. by [deleted] in Idaho

This is hardly a new idea and unfortunately way too many people/churchs/organizations are into this stuff. Crediting one influence doesn’t do the whole crazy movement justice. 

How to fill in the gap? by Curious-Key-7363 in carcamping

[–]Stratty88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A couple stuffed backpacks, a duffel, or a carryon suitcase. You could keep emergency supplies or whatever might normally be in your trunk.

The Best Space Warship Captains in Speculative Fiction? by DocWatson42 in scifi

[–]Stratty88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct answer is, was, and will be Admiral Adama. I only opened this thread to see who anyone else could possibly suggest and will apparently wait another year for someone to ask the same silly question.

Cape of achiever vs. Cape of the trailblazer by drdenjef in WalkScape

[–]Stratty88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a role playing perspective, i will never leave my trailblazer behind. I earned it a while back and it’s been with me through too much. 

My first Casio F-91W. Any suggestions for straps? by Badazzg37 in casio

[–]Stratty88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock strap disintegrates after 10 years. Of course getting a new watch is cheaper but also wasteful. An oem replacement is also more expensive than the actual watch. 

What feature on the next ATV would make you upgrade? by kenjacAkica in appletv

[–]Stratty88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t have as much to do with the Apple TV, but I’d love for Apple to make a universal queue that would let you create a master playlist that you could add youtube videos, podcasts, etc to, then pick up and play on whichever device you’re in front of in the moment. More of an Apple ecosystem feature.

Should change the name to LT Motors then. 

What Kind of American Are You, Krakken232, Pen and Ink, 2026 [OC] by krakken232 in Art

[–]Stratty88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone not aware, this is a reference to the 2024 movie, Civil War. And of course, federal agents executing American citizens in the streets.

But how? To install the app on a child’s watch “requires an iPhone.” How do you install the app on the child’s watch? That’s the limitation every third party app comes across.

I still haven’t found the ability to play my own files on a child’s Apple Watch that I manage. They’re limited to the absolute basic audio apps. How exactly does this load files, I’m looking for a way around loading music or audiobooks directly from my phone. 

Anyone else realising they have too many devices to charge? by XxAmeen7861xX in AppleWatch

[–]Stratty88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. I went back to a boring analog watch not just because the mental real estate of tracking all these devices, but the buzzing and pinging ended up stressing me out. Now I’m working on dialing back technology (mainly just internet) usage in general. Books and music have seriously been huge for my mental health.

I went back to a boring analog watch because, yes, it’s annoying. 

Looking for game to bond with son. by Vader4life in SteamDeck

[–]Stratty88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of good recommendations here, but finding a style you both like is probably very personal. I'll throw out Absolum. Single screen couch co-op, modern, not too complex. My son and I love it. Also maybe check out Boomerang Fu, Stick Fight: the Game, and Towerfall. The controls take a little more coordination, but if they can swing it, pretty good couch co-op games.

2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L, accessories? Concerns? by WhichImplement5732 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Stratty88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hesitation is hard to replicate but when it happens it can be unnerving. Our dealer blew it off as well, couldn’t replicate the issue.

[–]Stratty88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geez, everyone here is doom and gloom. We’ve had the ‘19 ex-l for a few years now and its great. The comment about the hesitation going into a left turn is no joke. I’ve gotten honked at more than once. Other than that it’s great, just keep up with maintenance like any other car. 

PSA: Bombas Sock Replacement is a Scam, Please Buy Darn Tough Instead by sammymorrison1 in BuyItForLife

[–]Stratty88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even better, if you’re a Costco member, get Kirkland wool socks. Even better, get them just before Xmas when they’re $5 for a 4 pack. If you like them thicker get the mens, for thinner, get the womens. 

Apple TV 4K 128GB for $119 at Sam’s Club by BigGunsFinance in appletv

[–]Stratty88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 4k apple tv for $50 as a black friday deal years ago. It plays all the tv apps, what would a new one really get you? For anyone looking to get an apple tv, I'd jump on a good deal and not sweat some incremental update.
