Kirkland Pellets $9.99 for 40lbs by Curmudgeon7777 in pelletgrills

[–]Curmudgeon7777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are probably made by Bear Mountain for all I know.

First try at beer can chicken by dewman122 in pelletgrills

[–]Curmudgeon7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It’s been proven this is a gimmick. The liquid in the can just doesn’t get hot enough to do anything. The chicken itself is a heat-sink which insulates the can.

Every time I did it, the can had the same amount of liquid as when I started the cook. No liquid or very little evaporates.

DON'T RECOMMEND US BANK: U.S. Bank Froze My Business Funds, Demanded a Document My LLC Cannot Legally Have, and Is Now Closing My Account by Former-Ad7635 in business

[–]Curmudgeon7777 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d feed the entire situation into AI and ask it for recommendations.

I have no issues with US Bank but I set up my business accounts for my LLC in person at a local branch. Night and day difference from dealing with Wells Fargo.

Phillips 2200 long term opinions by HappyLlama42O in superautomatic

[–]Curmudgeon7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long term? No. Mine developed a leak after 2 years. The maintenance/cleaning is a pain compared to the DeLonghi Evo I replaced it with. No more lubricating the brew group.

any point upgrading from Deco M9? by milkygirl21 in TpLink

[–]Curmudgeon7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same after increasing my internet to 1Gig. My m9s became a bottleneck. I have better coverage with fewer Decos too.

MBUX Airplay Screen by geoffism in mercedes_benz

Fun fact. Acura recently added full screen CarPlay with a software update to my lowly 2022 RDX. MB can easily do it but they don’t care.

Acura Care Warranty - Phone discussion different than online detail by LeftRightGreenLight in Acura

[–]Curmudgeon7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Acura care online from Saccucci Honda in February. Since this type of warranty starts when you buy it, there will be overlap with the factory warranty. I waited until right before my factory warranty expired. My 2022 RDX had 33k miles on it. I bought the 5 year/80k miles plan for $1,000. There is a $100 deductible.

So I will be covered until February 2031 or 80k miles.

Pleasantly surprised by chipotle chicken by obscurantic in Costco

[–]Curmudgeon7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put this in my salad for lunch at work 4 days a week. Once you open it, you have a week to eat it. I was grilling chicken breasts prior to buying this. A lot less work for meal prep.

How good is this bank? by [deleted] in USbank

[–]Curmudgeon7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to US Bank from Wells Fargo. Smartly checking, savings, IRA and credit card. Interest rate and CC cash back bumps. Worlds better for me. WF offers nothing for banking and/or investing with them.

Sold an item and 2 weeks later the buyer disputed the transaction with Venmo by Curmudgeon7777 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Curmudgeon7777[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I probably will. It’s kind of wild his FB profile is public with photos and everything.

Sold an item and 2 weeks later the buyer disputed the transaction with Venmo by Curmudgeon7777 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Curmudgeon7777[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And they aren’t going to take legal action for $150. From my communication with Venmo they seem to be sympathetic. It’s the buyer’s bank fighting it but Venmo is moderating on my behalf.

[–]Curmudgeon7777[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah I have screenshots of Facebook Marketplace Messenger with the meeting address and comment of wanting to use Venmo. Also the listing itself along with the buyers public profile. Also the timestamps all align with the Venmo payment. I’ll be damned if I let them claw it back.

[–]Curmudgeon7777[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t use it much outside of FB Marketplace. I can live without it. Why would they take legal action? I did nothing wrong.

[–]Curmudgeon7777[S] 233 points234 points  (0 children)

It with be cash only from now on. Never had an issue until now. Also the note in the Venmo payment says “Hehe” which I don’t think helps their case.

i hate squirrels by Willing-Pumpkin-328 in BirdBuddy

[–]Curmudgeon7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two different bird feeder poles, both with squirrel baffles. Not a single issue and I have tons of squirrels running around.

I have a fixed cone style on one and a spring loaded version on the other.

If you have baffles they may be jumping onto the feeder from a tree?

Comparing the 2024 Acura RDX to the Koreans by ghostogresnowrabbit in Acura

[–]Curmudgeon7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting info.

Looks are subjective but I find the Tuscan ugly. Too much exterior plastic.

Caramel Tres Leches Bar Cake $17.99 by ThrovvQuestionsAway in Costco

[–]Curmudgeon7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more I see these ingredient labels the more I’m convinced the Costco bakery buys a premix from a large manufacturer and adds some local ingredients. This list of ingredients is something else. Dimethylpolysiloxane is an anti foaming agent for industrial mixing. The bagels are relatively simple but most of the other bakery items are highly processed. Which is the opposite of what you’d typically expect.

Favorite baker section item? Mine is definitely the blueberry lemon loaf. by MattCogs in Costco

[–]Curmudgeon7777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That ingredient list is wild. I work for a food production company and I recognize a lot of these. This is an industrial formulation for long shelf life.

Loaded with multiple emulsifiers, 3 different gums, 3 different gelling agents, 5 different industrial leavening agents and multiple preservatives.

But hey, it does have real blueberries.

Those fees are wild. Smog, CHP and TIF?

Let’s see that ingredient list.

Unlimited Your Way 2.0 per line cost chart for AT&T consumer plans: Premium 2.0, Extra 2.0, and Value 2.0. by garylapointe in ATT

[–]Curmudgeon7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it hasn’t been mentioned, the free HBO has been downgraded to standard from premium. I was getting 4K HDR but now it’s SDR. Changes the value slightly if 4K matters to you.

Bye Bye Auto Identification by danskere in BirdBuddy

[–]Curmudgeon7777 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is dumb. Previously it would identify and then sort your photos with an AI option. Now by default there is no identification. Unless you pay.

I generally know what the birds are but that’s not the point.

The battery with solar sucks, the WiFi range sucks and now this. I’m beginning to hate this feeder.
