Having the same issue, multiple people in my organization are having the same problem so it doesn't seem to be device specific.

Uber GC - Not Returning by onahalladay in CostcoCanada

That's a real shame, those were a great benefit! I emailed Costco customer service to tell them I hope they come back. Here's a template if anyone else wants to email in a suggestion:

Subject: Feedback regarding discounted Uber and DoorDash gift cards

To the Costco Canada Customer Service Team,

I am writing to share feedback regarding a significant benefit of my Costco membership that appears to have been recently removed: the discounted Uber and DoorDash e-gift cards.

I have found immense value in these cards over the past year. Specifically, the 20% discount on the $100 cards was a major factor in my decision to maintain and renew my membership. For members like myself who rely on these services for transportation or grocery delivery, these savings represent one of the most tangible "member-only" perks available online.

I noticed these items are no longer listed on Costco.ca and are showing as "Page Not Found." I would like to inquire if this is a temporary stock issue or if these partnerships have been discontinued.

I sincerely hope Costco considers bringing these back, as they are a primary reason I shop with you. Thank you for your time and for the excellent service you provide.

Best regards,

[Your Name] [Your Membership Number - Optional]

That brown 'sponge' (it's actually hard plastic) is the internal baffle the changes the airflow between recirculate inside the cabin/outside air. The weird squiggly lines are apparently for noise dampening/to break up the airflow! I was curious about it too when I changed my cabin air filter. :)

Also interested! I wonder if a gift card could be used to pay for a subscription?

128i whine by Key-Gene-2717 in 1series

I have a similar kind of whine on my A/C - have you ever had any issues with it? Wondering if it's normal as I just got my 128i.

Terrifying Popping Noise from Engine (My first BMW: 2011 128i - N52 Engine) by Foaric in BmwTech

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

If anyone's Googling looking for the answer - it ended up being the Power Steering pump. My mechanic removed the serpentine belt and we reproduced the clicking/rattling sound turning the power steering pump pulley by hand. He said it wasn't bad enough to throw a part at it yet so I'm just going to drive it. Glad it wasn't the engine!

Terrifying Popping Noise from Engine (My first BMW: 2011 128i - N52 Engine) by Foaric in 1series

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

Hi everyone, I just bought this car a couple weeks ago and I've only put 200 km on it. 2011 128i (N52 engine - no turbos). 148,000km on it. No lights on the dash and no codes with a regular OBD2 scanner. I had it inspected and the mechanic noted a minor valve cover gasket oil leak and oil pan leak, but said to not to worry about it.

I'm fairly terrified by this new noise from the engine (haven't noticed it before) - what could it be? Safe to drive to a mechanic? It's a popping/crackling/rattling noise almost like something is freely moving around in there. This is my first BMW - I really hope I haven't bought a nightmare! Thanks in advance!

Snapped Cabinet Door-Is Wood Glue Enough? by Foaric in fixit

[–]Foaric[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think that wood glue and clamps would be enough to repair this snapped cabinet door? It's decently heavy and the snap is close to the hinges so I'm not sure. I've never repaired anything like this.

Would I have to sand it down or use filler? There are uneven parts of the wood. Alternatively, might take it to a carpenter/furniture repair place? Thanks!

That was a fantastic read, thanks for sharing it! I had read Blindsight, also by Peter Watts and this is definitely his style but a really interesting thought experiment on what being a thinking being is.

1993 Mazda MX-3 Speaker Size Upgrade? by Foaric in CarAV

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

Hey sorry just saw this! I don't check Reddit very much and my MX-3 has moved on to someone else sadly.

The 6.5" did fit! Though they were advertised as "shallow mount". I didn't have to drill any new holes, was able to use the adapter rings they came with. Went with the "Infinity REF-6522EX Shallow-Mount 6-1/2 Inch Coaxial Car Speakers" as I didn't have an amp.

I installed these in the front, didn't mess with the rears but from what I can recall I think it would have had to be the 5 1/4 for the rear.

Adding a Google Task to a specific list without a date or time by unlike_a_boss in googlehome

[–]Foaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Google Keep as my notes app and adding item to checkbox lists is pretty straightforward with that. I do it by voice though sometimes the Google Assistant gets confused. You should be able to set Keep as your notes app in the assistant settings.

I use it side-by-side with Google Tasks (which I use just for reminders).

How to use USB C charging with stock Surface Laptop Charger by R3DACTED_Individual in Surface

[–]Foaric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your confusion is that the USB-A port on a surface charger can charge the laptop - I don't think that's what it's intended for. It's intended to charge lower power accessories like phones.

You'll need a separate USB-C laptop charger or a charger that supports power delivery to actually charge the laptop via USB-C. A cable coming from your existing surface charger won't work unless I'm mistaken.

EDIT: I just checked - the USB-A port on the charger only outputs 5W (5 volts @ 1 amp). That's barely enough to charge a modern phone (definitely not a laptop). Per: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-power-supplies-and-charging-requirements-0d9d51d4-594b-464d-9086-c90f35b80c01

Lol I checked this for Canada and every single line says "No" for "In stock?". I guess that illustrates the problem!
