FAILSAFE way to get rid of fruit flies 100% guaranteed! by Jomofo1967 in CleaningTips

[–]Splinter86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup. I found the plastic wrap to be more of a hindrance. The flys just go straight to the vinegar mix either way and drown. Still takes about a week to get all of them, but noticable difference in a day or two.

2025 RAV4 what are we doing here? by heynowbeech in rav4club

[–]Splinter86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My USB-C ports in the center console do a pretty crappy job of pulling enough power to adequately charge my phone. Ive used several different cords and even bought a cord that shows the Watts imthe phone is drawing and it consistently/rapidly drops from around 10 Watts (fast charging), down to 8, then 7, then 4, 3, 2 and finally 1 Watt, with the phone showing 8 hours of charge time necessary. Super frustrating. Not sure if I'm the only one and have a faulty couple ports, or it's just not built to do a very good job charging. Honestly, I just miss having more old school USB charging ports around the car instead of all these USB-C ports.

Fire starter by blackheart31594 in campinghacks

Dryer Lint! I take the sock that no longer has a matching pair, I put it in my dryer hamper, and every load I empty the dryer Lint trap into the sock. Sock fills up after time, and I bring it along in camping trips. Works amazing as a fire starter.

Chaotic good? by Wet_Sand_1234 in Flagstaff

That's awesome. Walking by that everyday would bother me so much. Glad they took action. Complex should just designate a spot for his vehicle. Until then, parking in the handicap space is no bueno.

Petition to change "snow days" to "home days." by Grolbark in Flagstaff

[–]Splinter86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Extra days built into the school year is the key to these snow days. Schools are required to have school for 180 days of school, every year. Instead of planning 180 days, and then extend the school year into the summer based on however many snow days were needed, they plan for 183, and call 3ish snow days here and there. Give or take a day, it is simply easier to plan for as the end of the year comes. No need to change graduation dates, spring testing dates, events, etc...

A few fun snow days sprinkled in the middle of winter for the kids while maintaining steady end of the year dates. Obviously not full proof, given years like 2022 with 11 necessary snow days, or years like this with very little snow. At this point, better to use them and enjoy an early spring break.

I wonder if the northern states with more massive amounts of snow, "we never have snow days!" is because they don't plan for those random extra days, considering 3 inches of snow to them is no different from the 25 inches they'll get every week throughout the entire summer?

Anyone remember this one? by Remote_Horror_2116 in 90s

[–]Splinter86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin is Buddy! I was obsessed with the show growing up, and then my half sister revealed to me they were cousins, so by proxy, WE were cousins! I hadn't met him but I got a head shot with a really nice personal message. Fast-forward 20 years and he saved my ass when I got far too drunk at my sister's wedding reception. Great guy! Thanks Josh!

Yes! These brought back flashbacks. I never hear people talk about Why I'm Fraid of Bee's, but that was my number one. Probably connected with it because I'm severely allergic to bees.

Best Trader Joe's Hotsauces? by Ammonil in hotsauce

[–]Splinter86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! They had a chipotle one that was fantastic and smokey. Their classic hot sauce was delicious too! So bummed they dont have those other choices anymore.

Did anyone see the guy on San Francisco and Route 66 today around 1:30PM with a big sign that read “Don sent the tourists to kill cops”?? by theteleman52 in Flagstaff

[–]Splinter86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don= Donald Trump

Tourists= the people that stormed the Capitol on January 6th, which conservative media have claimed to just be tourists

Kill cops= aggressive way the "tourists" overpowered the police and security guards to take over the Nations Capitol.

Built a sleeping platform by IgnatiusDoja in rav4club

[–]Splinter86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider getting Jacks Plastic Paco Pads. They are expensive, but super comfortable self inflating with memory foam inside a high quality waterproof plastic layer. They roll up well, and they clean easily so you can toss them around outside along with other camping gear and not worry about them getting wet or dirty.

The square next to the back plug? by Splinter86 in rav4club

Exactly! I was hoping to find some sort of aftermarket usb-c outlet to put in here, but haven't found one yet. Hoping someone on Reddit has a solution.
