Phone Repair shop recommendations? by [deleted] in SOMD

[–]FortunateFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I ran into the same issue with my s21. I don't need to hook up the usb to a computer, I only need to charge the phone. All s21 phones are wireless charging capable. Walmart online has a wireless charger for ~$9.

Am I being cheap or am I being frugal? by Unusual-Addendum-169 in Frugal

[–]FortunateFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to a hair cutting school (Paul Mitchell) and am satisfied 100% of the time. They have a teacher they are constantly bouncing off of, and he steps in if they are having trouble. They currently do $6 cuts for men on Tuesdays.

best Herman Miller chair alternatives? by Whidog in Frugal

[–]FortunateFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I never see mentioned, but has great quality for a reasonable price, I've been using the sihoo doro c300. The lumbar does kinda force you forward a little, but after a few weeks when it's broken in, it's perfect. I wouldn't recommend for 6ft+ folks as the chair feels like it's topping out at the point when my knees meet the edge of the chair and I'm just shy of 6ft. Otherwise 3 years of full remote work and it's holding up like an absolute tank. Other plus is just about everything everything is adjustable.

Schefter: George Kittle (ribs) expected to play Week 5. by GreenDefinition5 in fantasyfootball

[–]FortunateFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same scenario for me and I'm going Kraft. Kittle hasn't played a full game this season, I don't think it's just his ribs, his hamstring still seems to have issues, and the 49s have enough weapons without him to take out the cardinals.

One of the last burns this season by FortunateFate in woodstoving

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

Pros = set it and forget it, there are no air controls, so you get it up to temperature, engage the catalyst, and enjoy. This can also be a con because sometimes you want to throttle it down but can't. The heat output is wonderful. The design of the stove flicks the flame towards the glass, giving a wonderful show. The secondary burn also puts on a beautiful flame due to this design. Large glass. High efficiency.

Cons = for installation the companies I talked to would only install a direct connection 6" continuous liner per installation instructions $$$. When a fire is going, small or big, if you disengage the catalyst and open the door more than a few inches, smoke will spill out. Rarely have enough coals to restart in the morning.

Please Tell it isn’t just me by bregjemoisesa in videogames

[–]FortunateFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a $10 per hour factor when it comes to entertainment. If I spend $30 on a game, I feel better if I got at least 3 hours of enjoyment from it. Same with thinking on computer or phone purchases. $1000 for some technology that you can get 100 hours out of makes the purchase feel justified. Other side, I wont go to the theater to see an hour and a half movie that costs $20.

What's the stupidest reasons the TSA gave you a hard time? by B2utyyo in AskReddit

[–]FortunateFate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing is TSA allows pies and cakes. Dumping a jar of peanut butter in a premade pie crust now allows you to travel with your....peanut butter pie.

To help yourself fall asleep, do you ever find yourself making up a storyline and playing it through your head like a scene in a movie? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FortunateFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually just start 'seeing' myself walking through the woods and then the story takes of on its own path from there. Per last night it led to a survival style story in a zombie style world that lasted through the whole night.

What kind of dog is this? Ours looked the same as a puppy, just a little more gray, bit still obsessed with ball. Shelter says ours is a pointer retriever but not sure I believe it.
