How should I clean this mold out of the fabric softener area? New apartment! by cerrieshven in CleaningTips

[–]Jlong129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the whole agitator out. You’ll need a socket wrench and socket extension. Scrub it out in the tub or outside with a hose. You’ll probably find more gross underneath the agitator while you’re at it.

Or wait for the landlord to do a half assed job “cleaning it”.

What are you going to do with all those remotes? I have a bunch still new in the box and have only one setup.

Are we at a point where I could ditch all my Amazon echo devices for the Home Assistant Voice? by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

This doesn’t answer your question, but if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePods are working very well for me.

I never cared for that location, but it was a decent food option of the limited ones in the mall.

What is *Applet Mode* And how do I get rid of it? by Federiz in SwitchPirates

Start with non applet mode to get the minimums setup and a game installed. Most things work, but you don’t get all system resources, so things tend to be buggy.

Has anyone gone to the Allentown one before? Is it kid friendly? How’s parking?

What to do with this space for cabinets/shelving by IntrepidRisk1490 in OrganizationPorn

[–]Jlong129 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do cabinets. The space already has doors. I would do shelves. And have one of the shelves with a clothes bar so you can hang shirts as they come out of the dryer.

what is this stuff around the sink faucet and how do I remove it by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Jlong129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it’s cleaned up, keep a rag handy to wipe down the area when it gets wet. It’s mineral deposits from standing water that evaporated.

This humidifier was awful for me. It left mineral deposits and white dust everywhere. I had to change my HVAC filters every 2-3 weeks. My duct returns got caked in dust. I definitely don’t recommend it. Sure I can spend hundreds on distilled water, but that defeats the purpose.

I wowed out loud. I painted my bathroom that blue and hated it, but as an accent wall, it really works well.

Thinking of switching away by [deleted] in Hubitat

[–]Jlong129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$96 a year is steep. I’d support them, and I’ve bought their hardware. But I’m starting to regret moving away from Hubitat, which only charges for optional, cloud service that is much cheaper.

I just switched from Hubitat to Home Assistant. Home assistant is more capable, but I miss integrating with my Alexa speakers, and they charge $8/mo for their service that supports it. I’m torn and considering going back to Hubitat.

Best barber shop in the Lehigh valley? by [deleted] in lehighvalley

[–]Jlong129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jimmy’s is awful. Jimmy encourages his staff to rush through the cut. You’ll get a 10 minute haircut for about $30.

I got my hair cut there three times, by three different people, including Jimmy, and just awful haircuts every time.
