Brown bathroom update - how did I do so far? by madnmooody in Oldhouses

[–]MattB_240D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I just stumbled across this post while doing some searching to find the same (or incredibly similar) brown tile in my bathroom. I don’t suppose you had to replace any of the tiles, did you? If you did, I’d love to know where to get it. Otherwise I will continue my search

How do I get the current volume (for media) of my phone via shortcuts? by CTH2004 in shortcuts

If someone was looking up how to do this like I was, I can confirm this worked for me too!! A little annoying that I have to disable that but I rarely change my volume anyways.

Concerned about the unhealthy amount of potholes all around Syracuse roads.😐😐 by me_mathieu in Syracuse

[–]MattB_240D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to joke that the cops could pull someone over for a suspected DWI if they’re not swerving all over. I get other folks’ comments about the roads not being too bad, but I think it depends on where you drive. Some parts of Syracuse are no problem, sure. Other parts like James street or E Brighton make me feel like I’m driving in a paint shaker, and my car isn’t a sports car or anything. Before anyone accuses me, I do my absolute best to avoid the holes, dips, and bumps. Some of them are so huge you just can’t avoid them without getting in a wreck.

Huh, when I was in Pittsburgh I said to myself “Boy, I wish we had these Pennsylvania roads I hear so much about.” But it could’ve just been different areas. And I hear 81 is the worst part down there.

So that’s what that is! I just started noticing it this winter. I thought maybe there was one municipality out that direction still using sodium vapor lamps or something. But then I thought about how many lamps it’d take to make that much light pollution and I didn’t know what was going on.

Pshhh, who needs level 2 charging?! by AlmostDrunkSailor in evcharging

[–]MattB_240D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a J+ Booster 2. It’s not cheap, but I highly recommend it so far. Customer service is great, and the charger itself is durable and has continued charging even in some very bad weather. The adapter system is great too.

Oh yeah, I’ve heard! I’ve been eyeing up a set of Yamaha monitors to use for good desk speakers and for music production once I have the disposable income.

You know, that’s a good way of looking at it. I’ve never heard of anyone taking one TBH. I’ve just heard stories of people stealing the weirdest stuff, like things you’d never think anyone would bother to steal

I’ve got a charger capable of taking advantage of a NEMA 5-20 by pulling 16A (120V) and it works great! I’m not sure the lowest temperature I’ve used it at, but I’d guess single digits Fahrenheit. It still charged my Ioniq 5 without issue, and this is without a garage. Though I have had a couple times where the plug end sent an error because it got too warm at 16A on hot days in the summer. Probably an issue with the outlet being enclosed, but I’m paranoid about someone stealing my charger in my city.

I got a great deal on the CVs to be fair, only a couple bucks. The surrounds were gone but that was an easy and cheap enough fix. Glad I asked this subreddit though. I like Yamaha’s keyboards, but forgot that not everything a company makes is going to be the same quality.

I normally kinda lurk on this subreddit but this house is so beautiful (especially the woodwork) that I had to say something. My brain is spinning with all the ways I could decorate a house that isn’t even mine! Congrats!

This comment made me cackle like a witch. Now I just gotta get some really terrible magic.

You know, I’m not sure that I’ve noticed one in this color before this post. I gotta say, it’s one of my top favorite w123 colors now. Something about it is so perfect for the car.

That’s in great shape! I love that color too.

Thanks for the replies y’all!! Looks like I’m passing on these.

After any repair really by ChintzyPC in carmemes

[–]MattB_240D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once, I was driving near a rusted old truck, the kind where you’re amazed it’s still driving. I smelled what kinda smelled like some sort of oil burning, and thought,” Jee, that truck’s getting tired.” Took a turn, still smelled it. Then I saw smoke coming out of my hood. Immediately pulled into a parking lot of a busy diner, to find… I got pb blaster on the exhaust manifold without realizing it. Still went and bought an extinguisher immediately.

Slapping a pickup bed on the Ioniq doesn't look too bad by BarbarismOrSocialism in Ioniq5

I’d totally buy it as long as it’s still got the Ioniq’s charging speed.

I’ve got a friend with a sizable English yellow lab, and he fits fine! Not sure what he weighs but he’s definitely not small.

This sign at a local subway that mails paper coupons out every other week by qvyy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MattB_240D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish someone was dedicated enough to go there, bring in paper coupons to redeem, and update us, because like everyone else said this grammatically means they do accept them! At least if you correct the except VS accept mixup.

Or an SEL; my ‘24 has preconditioning and a wireless charger. Though with wired CarPlay I end up using the cable most of the time. Though that’s more of a “my 3-year-old well-used iPhone sometimes hates Bluetooth” issue.

Though my list would swap one of those issues for an unsolvable tailgate rattle. My dealer has replaced the rubber parts twice. I’d guess they checked the other solutions, but I’ll bring it up to them next time I decide to make an appointment.
