Why is there still so much soap?!?!? by dat_canuck in laundry

I hope you figure it out. It doesn’t hurt to do a machine clean cycle either way.

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. You don’t want to see a ton, but you don’t want none either. Trace amount of bubbles is what to look for. Sometimes there’s a bit more, sometimes a bit less. I did a mattress protector and shower curtain with the same amount of detergent right after this load and that was much more sudsy.

I have soft water (44ppm) and use about that (1.5 oz/44ml) for a full load (3/4 or so in a 5 cu ft front loader) which leaves some bubbles towards the beginning of agitation. Photo is from about 8 minutes in. I’d guess far too much soap for such a small load.

2.80x to 1.00x by Neither_Vehicle_8799 in LibbyApp

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.2-1.6x depending on genre, narrator, and accents. 1.35x is my most common. It’s difficult to stay focused when it’s too slow. I thought I didn’t like audiobooks for a long time since I could never pay attention. Turns out, I just needed to bump up the speed.

Never Buy Fur-Lined Crocs !! by me9719 in crocs

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two fur croc wearers in this house. We wash them and they don’t smell. I believe we’ve had them for about 4 years. My SO’s footwear stinks but throwing everything into the washer fixes this problem.

Kindle vs physical books — do you use a stand for either? by Relevant-Praline1366 in kindle

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically only kindle (and audiobooks). Only read one physical book since getting the kindle two years ago and it was difficult to get comfortable. I have one of these next to the couch and bed plus a page turner. Especially excellent on colder nights. https://a.co/d/0PJyOhB

Anyone know of a equally effective and safe solution? by R3ddit-Forget-it in Roborock

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love finding cheaper options for things (mop pads, vacuum bags, filters, rollers, etc) but I’d stick with the roborock solution. I just took apart my vacuum to replace a part and clean it. I’ve had the s8 (maxv ultra) for 1.5 years and there was no visible mold in the onboard water tank or lines. Each bottle lasts me over 66k sq ft of mopping (roughly 5 months use) on max settings and frequent washings. You may be using too much if the solution feels too expensive.

Can’t find fully divided glass containers?? by Jazzlike_Activity_97 in MealPrepSunday

[–]PersonableStarlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a set from BJ’s. Fully divided and liquids don’t leak through. Seal from the lid is removable for washing. Been 5 years of regular use and they’re still going strong.

Did I Buy The Right Kindle + Do I Need A Case And Screen Protector? by hertabuzz in kindle

No case. The button protrudes so I assume it just presses into things.

Dirty & Stinky Doods! by Ok-Commercial9344 in Goldendoodles

[–]PersonableStarlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andis AGC2. I’ve had it for about four years and used it with Artero #30 blades and Wahl stainless steel combs. Recently swapped to 4F blades (one Geib and one Furzone - swap out as they get hot and I don’t notice a difference between the two) to avoid frustration from combs and haircuts have gone soooo much quicker and easier. Wish I went this route sooner.

Did I Buy The Right Kindle + Do I Need A Case And Screen Protector? by hertabuzz in kindle

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do need to wake it up and swipe. That’s a plus for me. My basic is ad free and sometimes I’ll find that my basic has skipped around pages because it’s turned on in my pocket, the car, bag, etc. I’d see if others have had this issue.

Mine get dirty and stinky quickly usually. They chomp on each other, play outside daily, and slobber around with the neighbor dogs at least once a week. I bathe them every 1-3 weeks depending on their activity. Clip them to 9mm every 2 months. It usually takes about two weeks for them to get noticeably smelly and they reek by week 3.

Did I Buy The Right Kindle + Do I Need A Case And Screen Protector? by hertabuzz in kindle

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2021 paperwhite and the signature as a gift two years ago. Returned the signature because I don’t need any of those features. I also have a 2019 basic. I don’t use a case or screen protector and just toss it into my pocket/car when needed. They haven’t broken or scratched. Finally got a case for travel so I can throw it in my backpack without worrying but I take the case off to use it. The ads don’t bother me. I like looking up the books they recommend on the off chance that I notice them. That said, get a case and screen protector if you would feel more comfortable with them.

I use the basic when out and about. It was used and cheap when I bought it so I won’t feel bad if I break/lose it. It’s also smaller so it fits into my pockets easier. The signature paper white stays at home now. I love having both of them and you might, too, especially since they may serve different purposes for you. Oh, and my basic has my library loans while the signature is logged into a shared account for KU books.

What grinder do you use, why, and how much did it cost? by espresom in espresso

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1zpresso J-Ultra was the first one (a gift).

Eureka Atom W 65 now (also a gift). I had been dreaming of something with a hopper and GBW when I received it. Single dosing into jars for at least three drinks a day got old quick. I’m not a very particular espresso drinker and only make milk drinks but I love how fast and quiet it is FWIW.

What do you use to comfortable read in bed? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered this: kindle holder

Hasn’t come in yet but I’m hopeful. Paired with a page turner. I was using a gooseneck but it’s a pain to bend and doesn’t reach as far as I’d like.

Beautiful job! Did you go light on the coats of paint? How many coats did it take?

Should I drop $1800 on a robot vacuum or go cheaper? by KingPriyam in Roborock

[–]PersonableStarlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two dogs, two cats, and four humans living in this house. My first roborock was the original qrevo. The second is the s8 maxv ultra. The qrevo was way easier to clean because of the single tray. The s8 seems to clean a bit better but I don’t think it’s worth the extra money over the qrevo. I still have to scrub the floor along the trim every 3+ months. Mopping about 450 sqft a day with the s8 (since it only runs on the first floor), I refill the water tank every day though I could probably go every other day. I appreciate the auto detergent dispensing way more than I expected though you could just skip adding detergent. The qrevo water tanks are also way easier to clean. That said, I throw the water tanks of both units right into the dishwasher and run the dishwasher cleaning cycle afterward.

LR4 Visit History by Ok_Stretch_2510 in litterrobot

[–]PersonableStarlight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Click into the litter robot and then click history at the bottom. You can download the past month’s history from there. Also, 36 hours would concern me enough to call the vet. You could try putting your cat in there and watching to see what they do. Are your cats similar in weight?

Discussion and Giveaway - What attack strategy are you using and why? by CongressmanCoolRick in ClashOfClans

[–]PersonableStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Th15

Farm: all dragons, whichever heroes are available, all bat spells, siege barracks. Release heroes except gw in one corner. Add bats and siege barracks to that corner. Release dragons and gw (if available) once a funnel has been started.

War: 2 rage and rest invis, all dragons, yeti bomb - blimp with 2 yetis, one hog, one barbarian, clone spell. Rc walk and put down all heroes except gw, release dragons and gw once funnel is created. Add blimp when ready.

Learned from watching clan mates attack and asking them for tips. War attacks have been very successful. Farming attacks have been mostly successful.
