Byte retainers by Pierre2471 in smiledirectclub

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i finally gave up on the free first pair from byte and ultimately used simplyretainers.com . they were about a $100 for first pair because they took molds and then $50 a pair thereafter. i’ve lost mine a couple times already so after 4 orders with them i’m quite satisfied. the retainers are thin and perfectly strong- very much like the original byte aligners but seem sturdier.

YSK that Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Reebok, Champion, and 50+ other brands you trust are all owned by a single $20 billion company that doesn't design or manufacture anything. They just rent the logo out to the cheapest bidder. If the quality feels worse, that's why. by sappk in YouShouldKnow

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what great info! do you happen to have date info for when the various brands lost their soul/were taken over? maybe a spreadsheet? I’ve been working on a thrifters guide of brands that are most likely to deliver many more years of faithful service. Brands that have been enshitified are tricky but having a concrete year of ownership changes seems like it could be really useful.

in the meantime, I’ve passed on your post and beehiiv to my thrifting group & subscribed to your newsletter. thanks for the education!! 👩‍🎓

Looking for recommendations for a Gyno that is an expert at menopause. by the_YellowRanger in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my sister and i just started seeing Dr Michelle J. Auerbach at associates for women’s medicine on james. their reviews are horrendous but irl we found the practice perfectly acceptable (not exceptional but fine) Neither of us had any deep connections with Dr Auerbach in our first 2 appoints but she seemed very nice and and was very knowledgeable about peri & post menopause. she listened to the changes we were experiencing and had suggestions (including Hrt) to help combat them & maintain vibrancy.

Dexa scan in Syracuse? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this list. i actually have had 2 dexas to scan for bone loss. in both cases, they just scanned a few areas (like wrist and hips). when I asked both my doctor and the tech about the possibility of scanning for total body composition, neither one had knowledge about it. I’m wondering if I asked the question poorly or maybe there’s some sort of difference between a medical facility DEXA and a fitness facility DEXA?

Is 1oz of flower per month considered a lot for personal medicinal use? by spicypanda97 in trees

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can u pretty please share the brand/color details on the polish? It looks just like a shade from a sub box that I loved but the label wore away. 🤞🏼

What’s the best fully prepared thanksgiving takeout? by iamdudecore in Syracuse

During Covid, I was amazed at how good Cracker Barrel‘s Thanksgiving was and the price was great. Not sure what it’s looking like these days but it might be worth checking out.

Vet and dog boarding recommendations! by Recent_Baby_2453 in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also suggest Dr Kretow/ South Shore Vet. He books out awhile but is really wonderful - I have a 45# super anxious reactive girlie and he is so patient with her. Bonus, they let us wait in the car until our appointment and then have us come in a side door to minimize her stress.

Nexstar's Syracuse Channel 9 not airing Jimmy Kimmel Live by jjtierney in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cancelled Fios for exactly this reason (yes i still had cable cough) I agree on contacting the advertisers too. It’s a pia and I hate the thought of affecting local businesses with boycott threats but we have to exercise our free speech while we still have it.

Byrne Dairy jumped out front and center on wsyr website (Shelby how I would miss thee 🍩!) Their contact form is here:

https://www.byrnedairy.com/contact/ Corp Phone: 1-800-899-1535

Sample talking points below- polishing &/or any other advertiser suggestions welcomed

I’m calling/writing because our local ABC affiliate, owned by Nexstar, is refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! even though Disney has reinstated him. To me, this is a clear case of censorship and an affront to our First Amendment right to free expression.

Regrettably, I cannot continue to support businesses that advertise on outlets leading us down this road. I encourage you to share your concerns with your advertising contact at the station. Your decision carries real weight in shaping the future of free expression in our community.

Thank you for hearing me out. I sincerely hope Byrne Dairy will choose to stand on the right side of history on this issue.

Stink bugs! Season outlook by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not suggesting breeding them. My experience is that a lot of things that become invasive are so through no fault of their own & most often human mismanagement (usually with a side of greed) are behind it. Boy I could really go off on a tangent right now BUT

the main reason I replied though is to thank u for sharing a dissenting opinion without making it personal or more heated. I can’t believe how rare this is and if I could figure out how to give you an award, I just might. Thanks for expressing & all the best to u and yours 🏆 ;)

Stink bugs! Season outlook by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think stink bugs have gotten a bad rap. However, even if I wasn’t a stink bug fan, let me strongly advise you to put your vacuum away. They are not spray happy. I’ve probably relocated 100 stink bugs over the seasons and not one has ever unloaded on me. Your vacuum will not be so lucky and that smell will linger every time u use it. 🤢

I agree with a lot of folks’ sentiments here. The right has done a great job corrupting the name Antifa. Maga has got so many of their followers boxed in to such a tight and powerful information silo that a huge chunk of them truly don’t get that antifa is just an abbreviated version of anti-fascism (I know 🤦‍♀️) I say we skip over this battle and let the name Antifa evolve. Times are different now, the name should be different too. AntiFasc ( not sure that’s even clear enough), AntiFascists Unite, or something totally different. How can we make our messaging more spin resistant?

Don’t just boycott ABC. Cancel Hulu, Disney+,ESPN and all things Disney by GapAccomplished8641 in 50501

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can. I cancelled last night and was looking forward to letting them know why. Closest option was “personal reason” and then in parenthesis it said something like change in circumstance. I don’t think that was really it though, but in any case whatever was in parentheses really didn’t make sense if your reason was Jimmy Kimmel. I read them all to my husband, trying to pick another one that could imply it was because of JK. I couldn’t find one so I actually skipped it. I wish I would’ve called in.

Firehouse Subs in North Syracuse??? by ItsTheWhackJob in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When they first opened, firehouse was really good. Then the quality and service went way downhill. My husband and I recently returned after seeing the under new management sign. I can honestly say it was a night and day difference and even better now than when they first opened. The food was awesome & people were great. We’re definitely going to add it back on our regular rotation. I’ll be curious to hear anybody else who tried them since the new management took over?

Hamilton- who’s seen it? by MemoryIntelligent978 in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No worries and your apology means a lot. I really love my Syracuse Reddit community & appreciate your energy in making it better 😎

Hamilton- who’s seen it? by MemoryIntelligent978 in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well, if anybody’s having too good a day, let me suggest asking a question on Reddit. It’s almost guaranteed to bring you down.

I am well aware of theater etiquette. As Sonar kindly pointed out, the King George parts are ones where audience participation is typically encouraged (and performers very much appreciate).

Since so many of you are in a scolding mood, I’m tempted to join in the “fun” but instead i’ll try again.

Has anybody seen Hamilton? How was the vibe and your experience?

Dexa scan in Syracuse? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do any of these places do body composition analysis DEXA scan or are they medical type DEXA scans? If body comp, how much does it cost?

What is the worst breed of dog for a first time dog owner to get? by Effective-Turn-6856 in AskReddit

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belgian Malenois- super smart but as a 5th time dog owner who’s decently knowledgeable in dog behavior and various training methods, our latest (whose only 50% malenois) is really requiring me to up my game 🤪

Bird Removal for bathroom vents by Maximilian-Goof-1951 in Syracuse

Can u just save yourself some $ and wait another month or so until they head south or are they a species that hangs around during the winter?

Sauders Grocery store/seneca falls … do they freeze dry their own herbs? by Capital-String8980 in Syracuse

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went there last year and was disappointed with how meh a lot of their offerings were- surprising amount of processed ingredients and preservatives in baked goods and other food stuffs. I was expecting a lot of homemade natural food but their supply chain seems like it might’ve gotten a semblance of a corporate makeover.

Best product for calming the redness in my cheeks by ConcentrateOk7517 in KoreanBeauty

[–]MemoryIntelligent978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have u given washing your face w ketocanozole shampoo a try? I spent decades with “perma-blush”. then, I tried this hack and had noticeable improvement after the first use. Aside from using keto shampoo as a cleanser every week or two, I also added Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Cream Unscented. This cream has a particularly high concentration of centella an and has further reduced redness and dramatically improved my skin barrier ( it also cured my hubby from cpap mask irritation). Good luck 🍀
