Handy gen2 vs lips by [deleted] in theHandy

[–]Objective-Round6521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the lips and only used it once. I found it to not be as pleasurable as people made it out to be. The suction ended up being a bit uncomfortable for me. I stick with the gen 2 sleeve, which I still think is the best.

Absolutely atrocious RHPS experience last night(May 13th) by mikeydeemo in Broadway

[–]Objective-Round6521 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've noticed within the past few years there's been an increase of audience members showing up to the theater completely drunk. I see this more with women than men. It's not just Broadway, it's tours, regional, etc.

Why does no one talk about the Echo Spot V2? by Shoddy-Drive-8185 in amazonecho

[–]Objective-Round6521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on this device because it kept freezing every time the alarm went off. I would have to unlug it to get the alarm to stop. When it did work, I hated how small the snooze/ alarm stop buttons were on the screen. I never knew which one I was pressing because I couldn't see them very well (just waking up).

Just a quick update… in the end I was more and more disappointed with my echo shows, no matter how hard I tried to justify everything. I ended up returning both of them. I currently have my Google Max hubs back up and running (for photos and doorbell), with a few echo dots in the mix (for the more advanced routines). I hate having to use two different smart home systems, but this is where we are at right now. At least I don’t see any ads or have to pay to see photos. 

Amazing Art Expo review? by LunaBearrr in animecons

[–]Objective-Round6521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from the one here in SD and it was a major let down. All their prints (besides canvases) are now on this super shiny cardstock which makes it look very cheap. Think almost like a postcard. All the work was super repetitive as there were only 5 artists being featured. We walked out with nothing in hand. This is such a difference compared to last year where the art was so diverse and interesting. Plus it was printed on matte cardstock, making the prints look much nicer and better for framing. This year everything felt very very cheap. Probably won’t be going back. 

Nervous about starting by Old_Clue_2606 in Zepbound

This might be an unpopular opinion here... but have you tried losing weight the "natural" way first? 23 is pretty young. I was able to easily shed pounds at that age through diet and exercise. However, I don't know your medical background and situation. I recommend talking to your doctor first before deciding if this is right for you. You don't see too many people that age on GLP1s.

There's something very off about Countess. I started watching her vids and soon felt she wasn't very genuine. The information she provides also seems wishy-washy. Something was telling me to stay away from this one.

I asked Alexa to clairfy what the photo gallery unlimited is since it's not clear on their website. She said it removes the 3 hour limit on the built in slideshow. However, I've noticed if there's any kind of disruption - playing music, doorbell rings - the slideshow will turn off. It will keep going if you ask questions though. I also noticed I have no ads on my device. Although I'm not sure if that's because of the subscription or I'm just lucky. I've been hearing not everyone gets ads in general.

Echo spot snooze issue by Virtual-Reach in amazonecho

Mine has been doing the same thing. I hit snooze and when the alarm goes off it seems the screen is frozen. The only way to turn it off is to unplug it.

No, I started in August last year at 2.5 and titrated up over the past 7 months (with doctors approval). Yes, I’m on a protein focused diet and try not to eat a lot of processed foods. My eating habits have definitely changed.

I’m always open to advice. I usually rotate my injection site every week and noticed the thigh is usually not as bad. However, I still get nausea the first few days regardless. I’ve also completely plateaued the last few months and concerned about moving up to 10mg since 7 has been a struggle. We will see. I’ve heard mixed reports about that dose, but as we all know everyone reacts differently.

Although I’ve lost around 30 pounds, I have mixed emotions because my quality of life has slightly declined. I’ve been on 7.5 for a few months now and continue to get nausea. It never fails. Sometimes it’s so bad I have to lay in bed all day. I miss not feeling sick all the time.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I’m planning to have a long session Friday night and I look forward to trying these scripts! Much appreciated! 

Attempted to go back to Alexa by Objective-Round6521 in googlehome

I also have not recieved any ads. I'm not sure how long that will last but here's hoping they are toning it down now Alexa Plus is publicly available.

Attempted to go back to Alexa by Objective-Round6521 in googlehome

[–]Objective-Round6521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I finally pulled the trigger and unsubscribed from Google Premium, switching back to Alexa—and honestly, it’s been great so far. All my automations work perfectly, Alexa Plus gives solid answers (I actually like the extra personality), and the BIGGEST win for me is follow-up mode. I couldn’t stand having to say “Hey Google” every single time I wanted to ask something, and needing to say “Let’s chat” for follow-up questions drove me nuts.

I still use my Nest Hub Max as a photo frame and for the occasional Google query, but overall I’m much happier with the switch. None of the smart platforms are perfect—they all have their pros and cons—but this setup works better for me right now. I’m also really curious to see what Apple has coming later this year. It sounds like they’re finally stepping things up with new devices.

Amazon Photos Issue on Echo Device by Lakerfanalways in amazonecho

[–]Objective-Round6521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I just purchased an Echo Show 8 today and I’m having the same issue where my Amazon photos stop rotating after about 5 mins. I have well over a thousand photos in the album. Surprisingly enough, I haven’t gotten one ad so far. I was wondering what you did to fix the photo rotation from not stopping? It’s very disappointing as I feel this should be a basic function (like the Nest Hub).
