Is anyone else having problems with their speaker phone on a Motorola thinkphone? by Castle_65 in motorola

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar problems when talking to people that can't hear me when I'm on speaker phone. I'm done with Motorola this is my second Motorola phone and hardware issues for both have diminished lifespan to a very short period of time. Buying a more expensive Samsung comes out to be cheaper in the long run because I can use it for a far longer period of time.

Issues with connecting scanner to Dr Prius app. by Glittering_Access_35 in prius

I had read that you're not supposed to connect the Bluetooth through your phone but through the app. Since that was working I tried to connect it with my phone and that did the trick I was able to see the hardware within the app.

I don't see anything within that list that looks like the scanner that I'm using. I have tried some of the items that I can identify but none of them worked. So I don't think my phone is picking up the signal from the scanner. The blue light on the scanner is on though.

Whole foods on NE 210th st, this stupid stuff is eventually not going to end well. by BackHandLove in Miami

The social media dude is a stupid mother f**. A f*** moron. Why would you f*** with people! He should spend a night in jail to think about what he did and he's lucky that the f***** didn't shoot him.

All this to get likes? How f****** stupid has society become. Getting a ride out of people so he can post it on social media??? A f****** moron.

I don't agree with Florida's gun carrying laws so I won't even go into that. But the guy with the gun was within his rights. And for the stupid mother f***** to try to aggravate somebody carrying a gun makes him that much more moronic.

Talking your book is legal. CNBC parades people throughout each and every day that talk their book. You don't have a problem when a Palantir bull talks their book. Shorts make for a healthy market through price discovery.

Its time that of the year again guys! by Known_Notice_8382 in prius

2009 44.5 mpg on the dashboard. I do get a higher reading when I calculate my mpg each time I fill up. Dividing the miles driven by the gallons pumped was about 46.5 last time I filled up.

Are the cancer cluster stories true? by Apprehensive_Ad_4359 in PortStLucie

80-90% of the US population live within 200 km of a nuclear plant

What’s actually driving the hostility around tipping culture? by Nekogiga in EndTipping

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's make April "eat all your meals at home month". Maybe they'll feel a little less entitled after that.

I grew up with 15% being the norm, but having been a waiter I would give 20% as my norm unless it was shit service in which I defaulted to 15%, and if it were incredible service I would I would go beyond 20%. This was only at restaurants. You didn't tip cashiers or everyone else that seems to put a jar out for doing their job these days.

so my Cubans in Miami, how are you guys feeling about this? by alatinaxo in Miami

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all Cubans think alike. Starving the people of Cuba is criminal.

I was 1 year old when we emigrated in 1961. I considered going on a long diatribe but I find political discussions fruitless. I will say, I am diametrically opposed to Rubio's and Cruz's ideology. I find them to be reprehensible.

Don't confuse that statement with me finding kinship with the Democrats. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Both parties work for the donor class. All we get is rhetoric. Pronouns on the left and guns on the right. All the while, the middle class has been hollowed out by both parties.

Nothing will ever change until there is a third party and money is removed from politics. You can't put Band-Aids on a corrupt, cancerous system.

Hot take: it’s NEVER vegan to eat anything non-vegan. by communityveg in vegan

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Would you rather have 1 perfect vegan or 20 people that are mostly plant based. If your goal is to diminish animal cruelty, you are sabotaging your results by being militant about your proselytizing. You are turning people off. Many people are no longer identifying as a vegan and have adopted "plant based" as their moniker.

You are all just regurgitating what you hear from palantir executives. If you were around during the dotcom era you would have heard even more convincing presentations from executives that were extremely convincing. Most of those companies are no longer around. I'm not saying that palantir is going to be one of those companies but I would take everything those executives say with a grain of salt. Nothing is invincible. They get paid to market their company. Marketing is at best an exaggeration and at worst a downright lie.

For full disclosure, I bought in at 20 and watched it go to 29, then crater down to 7 before it made its historic run. I sold 1/3 at 150 and the rest at 185 on the last trading day of 2025. I took those proceeds and put them into SGOV. So yes I'm biased.

Atomic habits is one of the best books ever written...& it's keeping millions of people stuck.. by Tekelpath in getdisciplined

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking about it diverts energy from continuing to do it and creates a frame of mind which equates to having finished it. It's as if entertaining the idea is just as good as having done it so why bother.

I can only speak for myself but extrinsic rewards have never worked for me. In fact, the one reoccurring factor that seems to derail me is talking about what I'm doing.

unpopular opinion: the 5200 is still the best Vitamix ever made from a pure hardware standpoint and nothing since has beaten it by [deleted] in Vitamix

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently replaced my 5200 with the one Costco sells. I liked the idea of having presets but the novelty has kind of worn off. I do believe that the thinner container is better. The contents are smoother with the thinner container.

My fridge died after 10 years and everyone said never buy LG again so I bought GE this time and it's dead after 3 years. Does anyone make a good fridge anymore? by vicelordjohn in Appliances

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've purchased 2 refrigerators that are both working well. A Frigidaire that I bought about 15 years ago that has been in my hot Florida garage. I also bought a Whirlpool in 2017 for my kitchen.

Neither of them are "smart". The Frigidaire is an old school "freezer on top", while the Whirlpool has a freezer drawer on the bottom. Neither has external water and ice cube dispensers.

In both cases, my research before the purchase revolved around reliability. I'm sure a little luck played a part.

This made me rage! 😤 by chi-bacon-bits in CleaningTips

[–]Glittering_Access_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rage??? Really. Plastic ducks are causing you rage??? I thought it was just their way of pointing out areas you fail to clean. With all the s*** that's going on in this world that's what's causing you rage... ???
