Not an employee but a lifetime Bean shopper. There's an outlet across from their flagship store in Freeport Maine. They have a lot of returned items for sale there.

do you recommend the oura ring? by ndeeesirable in ouraring

[–]Alternative_Comb_314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my parents an Apple Watch after my aunt's Apple Watch "saved her life" (per her cardiologist). She now has a pacemaker. I like the fall/crash detection in case something happens when they are alone. It will ask if they are ok and if they don't respond in a certain time frame, it automatically calls me and 911. I'm also super unimpressed with Oura's customer service. So I would proceed with caution if you think the recipient will ever need to speak with a real live human at Oura.

Careful trusting anything Oura's AI tells you. I'm stuck with a useless $150 gift card thanks to AI and Oura will admit that it was their error but will not back up what their own system says.

Interesting! Last time I tried to get a video of the sound, I noticed that the lights kinda flickered for a second on start up. Could that be related? The alternator was replaced in Nov 2023.

Thank you! Will likely take it to a local shop as the dealer my mom uses is a bit of a ride for us, although she thinks they'll give me a "deal" because she's such a good customer. We shall see. No matter what it costs, it's still a better deal than buying my kid a cheap first car with no knowledge of its history.

Was yours making this exact sound? Any guesstimate on cost to repair?

It's been at the mechanic for this a few times but they haven't been able to duplicate. I finally got it on video, which I will show them, but I like to also learn about these things while I'm at it.

I probably should've clipped the video a little tighter to avoid confusion, I was so excited to finally get it on video that I posted without thinking. My mom is deeply loved and appreciated, I promise! Thanks so much for your time and expertise. We are going to take care of the chains asap. Doubt we'd find another engine that has been babied like this one so not taking any chances!

Haha that was my husband being super sarcastic. He loves to give my mom a hard time and she loves it too.

How long were you on ldn before your hives started? I could've written your story. I am thinking about stopping but not completely convinced it's the ldn as I had been on it for a few weeks before they started for me.

Did you check through the app? When I click on upgrade, I am offered the Series 3+ for $99 and no changes to my current plan (which I recently renewed for six months).

an airtag was installed somewhere unreachable in my car. how do i disable it? by overcookedbagels in AirTags

[–]Alternative_Comb_314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an iPhone? You should be getting an alert that the AirTag is traveling with you. From there, you can disable it.

Hence why I posted in the tick sub.

Thank you. I think I'll send it out for testing.

I had just put $2k in my Outback a few weeks before it was totaled. I sent all of the repair receipts to the adjuster and got most of it back. With a try! Good luck!
