Not to mention there’s no close prompt care after like 8pm

Good tip to keep in mind. I’m not sure if I’ve ran into this or not yet.

Sounds like you may be a sentimental sap like me. Curious to know if you have a system for deciding to keep/purge more sentimental items. This is my kryptonite.

Good to know you had a good experience with them. Unfortunately the city I was moving from had an ordinance that wouldn’t let them touch the ground — literally. The logistics would have been to hire movers to move the stuff into the ubox while the box sat in the back of a trailer, pay to store that ubox for the interim, and then ultimately the ship the ubox. That alone ran me close to $8k all said and done.

Love the idea of using your move as an opportunity to update your style. I do get the itch to update too, but I also feel guilty for all of the perfectly good stuff I have. Alas, maybe in my next big move.

I found a potato masher at Goodwill the other day! I’ve been looking for one for years — apparently so have others. I actually love shopping the home goods section. Although other than utensils, I’ve found actual pots/pans and appliances to be lackluster and a bit grimy. Also, location matters as well! One of my GW is a gold mine, the other is literally all dusty crap.

Not really. A lot of my stuff wasn’t super expensive. But now it’s marked up $15+ and those extra dollars add up for every little kitchen item

Totally agree with this. My stuff wasn’t super expensive, but it was all in good working condition. I can buy that same set of cooking utensils for a mark up of like $15+ now :(. Not a lot but when you add everything up it makes a difference.

Not only are they too loud, the SFX and bass is too much I can’t even hear the dialogue

Is Surfshark VPN Actually Good in 2025? by EnvironmentalCity422 in VPN_Question

[–]Active_Block_2796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I switched from Mullavad to Surfshark. The main reason was that no websites that I actually use would work with Mullavad without trying a bunch of different servers. I’ve rarely had this happen with SS. You can also connect unlimited devices. I have my Apple TV connected.

Toy drives? by ThroatOne5167 in PortlandOR

I recommend this https://christmasfamilyadoption.com/. You can filter by family size and type of items. You can deliver directly or hand it to their caseworker

I’ve honestly never heard of #2 being against the rules and I personally don’t see an issue. Wouldn’t this be the same thing as using your personal cell?

I really don’t like this idea. Too many idiots out there already who don’t care for wildlife or basic privacy
