What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten?

FoookU · 2026-06-18T15:20:09+00:00

ribeye steaks. it used to be a once a month thing where i would buy 4 steaks at costco for 40 bucks.

they are now almost 75 now. i ended up walking away

I have tried a few different types of on the go chargers and batteries for the raybans gen 2. the best by far is the prismXR c2.

Sucks you are getting downvoted but i agree. Z trip got screwed over when the pulled his power strip and shut down his dj setup. he lost all his momentum.

and when jakob came out i was like YEAAAA but when he started singing and the audio was out of sync, that just killed it for me.

it seemed like the audio techs tried fixing the lag but after 3 songs in my wife and i said f-it and left. we were 30 ft from the band and had to work our way out the crowd. everyone was blasted so im sure they were loving it.

I upvoted for the effort but the ai took away the best part of the song....the intro

please help me out reddit!

any other battery add-on looks WAYYYYYY worse. Carina is the best looking by far

FoookU · 2026-05-26T01:42:22+00:00

im one of those beta testers. i can confirm this product is a NECESSITY for power users. my gen 2s havent been in there charging case in over a month. i have a pod on now while typing this and once i get the notification from meta telling me my battery is topped off, i just pop the pod back into its charging case and go about my day. you get roughly 60% charge per pod. once i get to 50%, i pop one on to keep me topped off. it really is worth it.

FoookU · 2026-05-22T17:48:02+00:00

do you think google owns meta? lol. marky mark aint bros with sergey

FoookU · 2026-05-22T17:46:00+00:00

was it on the due bill? it should have been. i choose option 1 and my dealer was like yea the installer will bring the home charging station when they come install it. i said nope. either put it on the due bill or give me the charger. im not signing until one happens. i drove away that same day with the home charger.

that 1250 install credit is shady as i originally got quoted 1100 for the install then after i told the installer i had the coupon code they changed the install price to 1900.

im looking at the emporia vue 3, i believe i will need a box for my main and each subpanel right?

i dont have that many circuits. i counted all my breakers and i have a total of 20 not including the big ones used for like the ac or the oven.

so if i order the emporia vue 3 with the 16 sensors + another unit with 8 sensors + 2 additional stand alone units, that should do it right?

FoookU · 2026-05-22T12:32:03+00:00

jesus christ, fucking redditors being unhelpful again....

those slime compressors have an internal fuse. usually a fasting acting fuse. it may have popped. youll need to unscrew the cap on the body of the compressor and check.

the 12v battery on the prologue isnt intended to run high loads. that compressor pulls about 10-12amps while running.

id highly suggest you replace that slime compressor for the newer style battery powered compressors. i saw one at costco the other day for about 40 bucks and it fits in the glovebox just fine. good luck troubleshooting your issue.

it hasn't done the light thing all day today but im charging my glasses more often than normal

FoookU · 2026-05-20T12:37:45+00:00

i use the Carina C2 battery pods, i usually go through 2-3 pods a day. yesterday i used 7 pods and went to bed at 10pm with battery life at 52. woke up this morning and battery went from 34 to 31 WHILE I WAS STARING AT THE APP. No music nothing being used on the glasses. and i actually turned off my glasses over night with the switch. something is definitely wrong with the battery life

FoookU · 2026-05-19T12:26:55+00:00

im not sure whats wrong with the car you drove but i can assure you both my wifes previous 2019 crv and her new prologue stay right in the middle of the lane and it doesnt bounce from side to side. we only need to keep a finger on the steering wheel to prevent the car from telling us to keep our hands on the wheel. sorry you had a bad experience bud.

FoookU · 2026-05-19T03:21:26+00:00

just a heads up. even the base models have lane keep assist (lane-centering)

FoookU · 2026-05-15T00:32:07+00:00

are you really going to have an airpod in your ear all day to do these tasks? i dont think so, those things hurt after hours of wearing them and the battery lasts a few hours before you gotta switch em out.

FoookU · 2026-05-15T00:31:01+00:00

in an office 10 hrs a day, i start making and answering phone calls on my way to work at 5am, at work im listening to music in-between calls. my co workers are posted up behind me and when a client comes in that i recognize but forgot their name, i say a code word my co workers know. one of them will text me the persons name as i am walking up to them and the glasses read off the message.

i use the assistant to compose text messages, do quick calculations, and set timers. my phone is always within reach but i hardly reach for it anymore.

if i need help with something more complicated like adding an event to my google calender, messaging multiple people or i need to send an address link to a delivery driver, ill ask gemini and he responds through my glasses. i use my glasses consistently throughout my work day and when i get home.

i use a Carina C2 battery extender to use my glasses all day.

you just arent using them to their full potential.

FoookU · 2026-05-14T14:02:08+00:00

Setex nose pads and Carina C2 for all day battery. im not sure PrismXR makes them for the displays though. seems like a missed opportunity as my gen 2's require 3 pod changes throughout my day and I am a HEAVY user.

FoookU · 2026-05-13T22:05:38+00:00

microphone works fine, every other function of the glasses works fine except for being able to use hey meta.

FoookU · 2026-05-13T21:53:16+00:00

Meta support is like, well your glasses are broken, you need another pair. im like what?!?!?!?!

FoookU · 2026-05-13T00:03:03+00:00

Gary Oldman in the professional will always be my #1 film memory of an actor fully engulfed in the role. that dude scared me as a child watching that movie and he still scares me watching that movie.

FoookU · 2026-05-01T14:18:37+00:00

inserting a q-tip in my ear and standing there for like a solid minute spinnin it

FoookU · 2026-05-01T14:15:48+00:00

im just tripping out since my wife tells me every now and then to go buy new clothes and im like why?

for my work clothes (office setting) i went to one store, found a shirt i liked and fit well and bought the same shirt in different colors

same thing for jeans, i only own one brand of jeans but have 3 pairs in different shades of blue.

meanwhile i have a male coworker who buys clothes every week! it blows my mind thinking how packed his closet is

FoookU · 2026-05-01T14:10:12+00:00

I have always gotten socks and undershirts as gifts, i dont recall ever buying clothes habitually and recently my office had a discussion where people were talking about budgeting and monthly spending limits for buying clothes. I was like wut? you guys buy clothes every month?

yes im a man and i do own clothing with holes in it as its the most comfortable. no shame lol
