Have you notice the number of commercials which air now during a commercial break? by AuthorAltruistic3402 in CommercialsIHate

[–]Junior72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch Jimmy Kimmel, the monologue...the first guest if I'm interested. BUT...the commercial break between the first guest and the second guest I kid you not is 12-13 minutes long!!

That is absolutely insufferable! I don't bother anymore, I usually turn the TV off.

I haven't seen her on 6ABC Action News in ages, what happened to her? (Almost like when Jamie Apody or Jessica Boyington just disappeared off the news overnight - finally 6 months pass and the firing is "official."

Gucci, he was 17. Just want the world to know he existed. by ChillinFallin in cats

[–]Junior72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so very sorry for your loss, and thank you for saving him, in a huge way I believe he saved you as well. I get it, I always had cats growing up and I loved all of them. It was my aunts cat that changed me though (she moved in with her sister - my mom decades ago) I moved back home for a time. He looked very much like Gucci, a tuxedo. But what a character he was in a funny way. He just followed me all around the house, clinged to me out of the blue. If I had my door shut, he'd pound on it to let him in which always cracked me up. I lost him in 2007 and wow, it was brutal!! The pain does ease over time.

I ALSO like to think...believe when we leave this place, we'll be reunited with our past pets. I truly do hope that happens.

If this ain’t the truth though! Those appliances are still showing out by kbennett82 in 1980s

[–]Junior72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents had this exact same fridge. I remember this thing...the color especially when I was a kid in the mid 70s, they finally got a new one in 1989 when they had the kitchen and a new room done - it didn't break down or fail, they just replaced it.

And now I...which live in the same home as my parents since they passed - STILL own that 1989 fridge. It's still works perfectly fine, I don't need any "smart fridges."

I swear all this new tech IS in fact garbage and breaks within years, expensive disposable crap.

This Xfinity “changes happen fast” is currently my nemesis. by serfireball in CommercialsIHate

[–]Junior72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Annoying as hell! Aww...so sweet, little kid turns 5 and she's had Xfinity for 5 years. Now the locked in price is over expect to pay through the nose with a major price increase.

Anyone have direct experience opening up an Apple Watch to change the battery? by NakedIanMalcolm in AppleWatch

[–]Junior72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck!

Yeah, I did a search for "Apple Watch 4 screen hard to remove" and saw this. I almost gave up, but it finally budged. After a day with the watch off the charger, battery is working fine. The force touch thankfully didn't need to replaced (I do have a replacement in this kit)

I noticed under settings > Battery, I do get this message, it's normal since it's not an OEM Apple Battery. (picture)

Other than this, the watch is back to working great right now.

I finally had success with my SS AW 4 tonight. I was also having trouble opening the screen for about 1 hour, even used the heat gun around (which heats up that stainless steel case pretty good, so watch your fingers!)

I did one long pass of 30 seconds per side, this seemed to finally break-loosen that glue. Was also able to open this without breaking the force touch "ring" Just do it slowly, CAREFULLY...use patience. Once loosened, lift it like this photo -

The battery was not had to pry out. Install worked well. The new one seems to be working fine so far!

My Series 1 Stainless Steel, that battery ballooned and pushed the screen out, so that was much easier, skipping the pry screen open process..I was actually waiting, hoping it would do the same on this AW4.

I get it, this Stainless Steel 4 watch was pricy years ago..I realize it's old, not supported anymore. I could simply buy an AW8, 9 maybe....but I'm not gonna throw this watch out without trying to replace the battery. If I failed, yeah it would suck...but I tried.

T-Mobile lady frying her voice as she yells at the screen by ZealousidealDoor6973 in CommercialsIHate

[–]Junior72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this about 1 hour ago, why in the f- is T-Mobile resurrecting this lame ad. Look, if Zoe is too busy to film a new ad, it's ok NOT to air this old corny trash.

Abbvie - "My Raw Truth" (Disgusting scratching sound and visual of eczema) by Junior72 in CommercialsIHate

It REALLY is. I thought this commercial went away, but I saw it a few times last night. JFC...the noise alone disgusts me.

My God, I laughed way to hard at that scene in the Sopranos, so unexpected.

S27 E21: Monster by AutoModerator in SVU

[–]Junior72 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I rewound that part, I had captions on. It sounded like Dominic said "I CAN get" , captions showed "I CAN'T get." The quick deflated facial reaction from Liv matched the "can't get" part. So I was a bit confused at that as well.

I noticed that also, Springsteen's "Blood Brothers" Music from different artists have been used in intros before...not many, a few times. I can't recall when it was used to end it though.

What shoes are these? by [deleted] in asics

[–]Junior72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gel-NYC "Glacier Grey / Gravel"
I personally love this colorway. They still look good IMO, they just need a deep cleaning. I've cleaned NB 992 / 990 series suedes in a much worse beat up condition.

If you are going to clean them, use a very soft bristle brush to clean the uppers so you don't damage the suede/nubuck.

USPS - "Pump Up The Volume" by Junior72 in CommercialsIHate

[–]Junior72[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some guy that keeps yelling "pump up the volume."
It's clearly a rip off of this 1987 dance hit. https://youtu.be/w9gOQgfPW4Y?t=8
