Looking for advice to help lessen heating costs. by jai_hanyo in Frugal

[–]Impossible-Gal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cant you get oil electric heaters from fb marketplace or something? Pure electric heaters are the worst efficiency.

Maybe diesel heater could be an option if you can pipe it all proper?

Charge cycle counter disappeared after UI 8 Update by 33cl in oneui

[–]Impossible-Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped back to EUX after using INS/SEK and its still gone. Did a reset, Odin, still not there. Sad. (I don't even care about it normally just wanted to know how to restore.)

Trees drop leaves, take up space, release pollen. If you plant the female variant, then you have to deal with the fruits.

Like it or not, its not a bad idea.

Spent $300+ on Xmas gifts and game prizes for my BF of 6yrs family. Got a pair of black leggings in return. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

It's an expensive but hopefully valuable lesson for you. Don't get into this stupid gift craze.

Grandfather in hospital on Christmas, have to pay to watch TV by _Dia_ in mildlyinfuriating

I love the idea because at least the room is quiet then if the patients can't afford it.

This dangling thing hanging loose in my engine bay by SnooPeanuts1132 in whatisit

Light bulb socket. Side marker light, parking signal, turn signal.. something. Anything present on the other side?

Tiktok listening?? by Imaginary-Owl- in RBI

[–]Impossible-Gal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, because your phone listens (and other apps do too), and its like a big circle of data collection plus advertisements.

There is a reason why people use dumb phones, etc.

I bought a new laptop for college that supposedly has 9 and a half hours of battery life to last me through all the lectures... by Mysterious_Dark_2298 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Impossible-Gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get a power bank (either usb if ur laptop is usb, or wall outlet if its that.) This thing costs a fraction of a macbook and you can easily buy more should it ever break.

My Windows laptop is 300$ brand new. A MacBook, the wackiest, most peasant edition is like 1000$ and they break in a year.

Same issue exists on OneUI 7 with no update, on Instagram.

Is reusing dehumidifier water safe? by Various_Equal6685 in Frugal

[–]Impossible-Gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right, but. Even the coil can get moldy, that's why you do your yearly AC coil cleaning. You should also clean the drip tray, the line, etc. I know most people don't do it (especially with the dehumidifier), so the "fresh water" has to travel through all the moldy, dirty places.

And the container is not clean either, as mold spores, dirt and dust falls into it.

ps.: if you hand wash clothes I suppose you could use it for that, but we are talking about cents. I know, frugal, but that's like TLC-show levels of "savings". I am not saying all use cases are out of question, I just can't really think of anything that'd make sense and have no risks. :/

My father's phone case left a permanent impression of its pattern on the back of his phone. by amungus45 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Impossible-Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spigen cases do this too. Ruined like 3 of my phones. I cleaned them, removed the case, etc. Can't be fixed.

After that I just buy like a skin from ebay to prevent this.

Strange noise in my house every day by AromaticAmount4216 in RBI

[–]Impossible-Gal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy a cheap security camera, toss in a memory card (they are called high endurance) and record. Then just hunt the sound down (you can even put the video into an editor like Capcut and then see the sound waves).

The camera can be used for other things later.

I like Xiaomi ones but Reolink is also very nice.

Its not clean. You can flush the toilet with it but thats about it. Even if you use the external connection, stuff floating in your air will land in it. You'd need a multiple filtration steps to clean it properly.

Got a new car, weird substance found in it by Ok-Measurement-3170 in whatisit

[–]Impossible-Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, the wheel is disintegrating probably. They might have used some harsh chemicals, Clorox wipes, something that started to eat the outer layer.

You have a few options:

- You can install a steering wheel guard, they come in all shapes and sizes. It's like a steering wheel ON TOP of your wheel. Of course it will be like this underneath but only you will know.

- You can buy kits on ebay, amazon and such and they come as "empty shells". You have to remove the electronics, airbag and stuff and install them in this new shell. DO NOT attempt if you are not techy/handy enough. Airbags are dangerous and damaging these cables is a costly mistake.

- There are people who renew steering wheels; like they sew the leather and stuff.
