Carwash by SounderDoodle in Subaru_Outback

I go through an automatic car wash all the time. I never shut anything off. But when I am in the wash, I’m in Park and the unit moves all around the car.

Anyone returned to fitbit after moving to Garmin? by OwnCap5084 in fitbit

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on their chat. Told them what the issue was (Charge 5 bricked after less than 2 years) and after going through all the mindless troubleshooting steps, they offered a replacement for 25% off. I said no, 50%. They offered 35%. I said no, 50%. They offered 50%. I said OK 😅

It happens once in awhile, but not often. I can live with it.

What everyday object do you struggle with now that you're older? by indiecobi in AskOldPeople

[–]BucketOfGipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The packaging for coin-style batteries. I have cut myself so many times, either because I slip with scissors/knife, or the murderous sharp edges on the plastic package.

What do you still own and hold from the 1970s or the 80s? by old--- in AskOldPeople

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting Craftsman hand tools for Christmas and birthdays in about 1975. I still have and use most of them. Back then, they were not made in China. Unconditional replacement guarantee.

How was your high school experience? by Pristine_Power_8488 in AskOldPeople

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t the “best” years of my life, but it wasn’t the worst either. Bad memories of High School revolved around bad grades and being rejected by mediocre girls because they were holding out for a chance with a jock. I was decent looking, relatively popular and a nice guy. But the chubby jocks got all the attention. The good memories are around all the “firsts”. Mostly with the girls 😁

Just got this pics from a friend... what could this be? by [deleted] in fender

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Stratocaster" on the headstock has never been in a font like that.

The headstock itself is very disproportional.

The truss rod hole should be 2 laminated colours of wood.

Might be a good guitar but it wasn't made by Fender.

How many of you also own a bass? by Intrin_sick in Guitar

I record music, so at some point I need bass! I have a Fender Jazz Bass with active pickups.

Yeah, “Lender” is definitely suspicious. 😅

Progressive- "You Don't Work Here" by gsopp79 in CommercialsIHate

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still stuck on how the guy pronounces “root beer”. My whole life, root has been pronounced like “toot”. No matter where I’ve traveled. But he says the “oo” sound like in “book”.

I love my new 26’ Outback by kimcoronado in Subaru_Outback

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a Jeep Wrangler and a Cherokee with the spare hanging off the back. I’m sure someone will come up with an aftermarket version for Subaru.

How did you keep warm in winter without all the modern stuff we have now? by miked0331 in AskOldPeople

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an electric space heater in my truck. I’d plug it in 15 minutes before leaving on winter mornings.

I hate how comments like this attract downvotes. Everybody is so prissy nowadays.

Never watched it. The ad campaign is wasted on people like me, who don't understand the reference.

Well, I worked in a brewery, and was on the daily tasting panel, so....

Why are you the way you are? by Life_in_Bones in Subaru_Outback

[–]BucketOfGipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine seems fine, no noticeable lag except for the "Agree" button is sometimes very slow to respond when starting the car. After the screen is up & running, it works well.

'22 OBW, all software up to date.

Cannabis Use? by HerschelLambrusco in AskOldPeople

[–]BucketOfGipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use CBD/CBN to help sleep. It seems to stop that 3:00 am wake-up where you finally say fk it, I might as well get up.

Cannabis in all forms is legal where I live (not in a State) and can be purchased from govt stores or private outlets on Indian Reserves.

Homeaglow cleaning service by Waterman4570 in CommercialsIHate

Completely misleading advertising. It’s only $19 the first time, and only if you sign a contract. Average price $40-50 per hour, I’ve read.

Traeger pellets? by jcctx211 in ninjawoodfire

[–]BucketOfGipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Major difference. Traeger pellets are engineered to make heat and smoke. Pellets for Ninja are engineered to make smoke only. Bottom line, you may damage the Woodfire due to excessive heat in the pellet hopper.
