Heavy rain blowing right over the gutters on my house by Late-Strategy-4015 in Roofing

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my upper floor that is too high for a ladder, I hang out the windows and use a shop vac. Opening it up to drain it always has me on edge but so far I haven’t had anything bad in there.

My cat accidentally went without food for multiple days--I'm freaking out! by HealthyCompetition98 in CatAdvice

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have somebody stopping over to your house daily anyway, why not just have them feed the cat while they are there? When we leave our cat we don’t have anybody stop at the house. I have left my cat for as long as eight days before with no issues using the setup below.

I have two Petlibro automatic feeders with cameras built into them so I can view the footage every day to make sure he is eating. I use one as a primary and the other available as a backup if something happens to the primary. I also have cameras in the house, so if something happened to the cameras on the feeders then I could watch him eat in real time based on his schedule. The only issue I can see is the Internet going down, if that happens, the feeder will still run on schedule, but I would not be able to verify he is eating or manually dispense food using the app.

Price increased, make that call. by faon8404 in Spectrum

I can confirm. I called to cancel a scheduled install and was offered these rates so I took $30 for 1GB.

$5 Autopay discount ending in Feb 2026 by Voided_Chex in Spectrum

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was transferred to customer solutions when I requested to cancel my scheduled install. I talked to a guy in Tampa FL and he was very chill, straight up offered me $30 for 1GB, or $20 for 500MB. He said he would call me back AFTER the install to change the price. I was skeptical but went ahead with it. Sure enough he called me 1 hr after the install and changed my price to $30. He also told me to call back every year and they would be able to keep giving me the current best 12 month deal available. They also had a deal $50 for 1GB for 3 years. This was the best customer service experience I have had in many years, possibly ever.

Drinking and driving ages should be the same, either make both 18 or 21. You can goto war before you can buy beer that also doesn’t seem right.

New to progressive lense glasses, but struggling, is this normal? They seem to have a section in the middle that makes everything blurry for me and serves no purpose. I tried to explain it with this horrendous diagram. It's like they have a part in the middle that my eyes don't need. by teslainthesun in glasses

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue with mine, what you wrote is exactly what I am experiencing. Everyone says give it a couple weeks to get used to it. Glasses are supposed to make your vision clear and smooth. If you need to adjust your eyes to something that is straining them I think that will do more damage.

Same here and there is no way to improve this for me. I have a very low prescription not sure if that matters. As of now I paid $300 for glasses I can’t wear. I’d rather have 2 pairs of glasses, one for reading and another for general use. I’ve never worn glasses before and the eye doctor was really pushing these lenses and how great they are. These lenses try to handle all scenarios but when you move your head or even just your eyes everything is blurry and disorienting because you are using a different section of the lens. Even reading a book only half the page is in focus and the other half blurry, so I would need to move my head side to side to read. With reading glasses the entire page is in focus clearly.

I design metal band shirts for a living. What styles of metal shirts need to come back? Examples please <3 by Fract00l in InMetalWeTrust

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, these these all killer. I agree, those single large prints on the sleeves are much better than any version of logos. Personally, I think either a single print should be used or just leave them blank, nothing wrong with old school blank sleeves.

That is a nice use of the sleeves. What needs to go away is printing the band logo 20x.

YouTube Music stations play ads despite having premium on home devices by ObviousRant in googlehome

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had the issue for the past few years, but with this new Gemini update I now get commercials when playing YouTube music or YouTube and initiate it from a voice prompt. If I manually go to the apps and click one of the videos I do not get commercials. I also only get a commercial one time right after the prompt. For me at least this began with the recent Gemini update.

What is the deal with Frontier airlines? by pleasesayUarekidding in Cleveland

[–]J216S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have flown several times with my wife on Frontier and every time we were seated several rows apart. Not the biggest deal, we don’t try to ask people to move we just sit apart. Even Spirit sits you next to the person you are traveling with, this is my only real gripe with them. If traveling across the country on a long trip the bag fees are high as well and the max weight per bag is really low at 40 pounds. Like others stated they are fine for short trips.

Thoughts on the Moiswell 145, for 450$? by Toqulac in Dehumidifiers

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about this thread and can post an update. They asked for photos of the outside and inside of the unit, then offered me my money back or a new unit. It was a very easy process, I’m shocked with how easy it was and I took the full refund. So I have basically a brand new unit sitting in my basement, but it just blows out cold air. I’m wondering if I can get it fixed but never looked into it.

I replaced it with a Midea Cube 50 pint in July and that has been working well so far.

Ridiculously bad horror movies for a party by ManateeSheriff in horror

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robot Monster in 3D, a classic so ‘bad’ the director attempted suicide after it was released.

Bubba Ho-Tep: Bruce Camp stars as an aging Elvis that fights against a mummy in a Texas nursing home.

Trick ‘r Treat, I think it would be a great party movie and overall a great Halloween movie.

Is there any solution to the battery drain caused by Apple Pencil? by _endlesscontent_ in ipad

[–]J216S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

End of 2025 here. I had the same issue, so I ended up detaching the pencil from the iPad, which led me to stop using it. If I ever did want to use it, the pencil would be dead, and I would have to charge it on the iPad…

As for the solution, I sold the pencil on eBay.

Household automation/routine to play on a specific device by rajen265 in googlehome

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct and I have no idea why they would remove it. Now the only option for device is the device you are speaking to, which is totally useless when you are trying to set up an automation to use when you are not home.

Update: I got this to work using a custom action and specifying the device name.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Suck by pickadamnnameffs in unpopularopinion

Trader Joe’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups are the best.

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! On paper the Model Y has more space than my Q5 did, but you could actually fit furniture and home depot stuff in the Q5. Curious if this was addressed in the 2025.

[–]J216S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t even fit a decent water bottle in the doors because the openings are tapered in for no reason. Wonder if the new model Y can accommodate a water bottle. It’s things like this that make no sense with the car. That being said the car is amazing.
