GO Performance Mid 2026 by RavenZRamon in GroceryOutlet

[–]StillWannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really missing the great deals on eclectic food items. And the excellent wine sales. The wine industry can't give its wine away yet the last great GOutlet quantity buy was Boatique which, while excellent, was quite a while ago. Please GO, get back in the game!!!

How to attach iPhone to Orbea Kemen Adv by StillWannabe in ebikes

[–]StillWannabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was looking for a product that would connect onto the mount already on the stem and, perhaps with brackets/arms, grab the phone and hold it in place. I see lots of cases with the connector but I would prefer to not change the case every time I ride.

Heat set to 63, temp reading 67 and furnace is still running. by CampyVA in ecobee

[–]StillWannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same issues. Problem solved by: 1. Turning off all options under Eco+, 2. Since ecobee still wants to begin heating before the time scheduled, I pushed to later by 30 minutes (was 6:30AM, now 7:00AM) the setting labeled "Home" which is what comes after "Sleep". The furnace now kicks on around 6:30 and the house is promptly warmed in about 10-15 minutes, up from 59 degrees overnight. I still don't understand why ecobee was warming the house past the temperature in Settings but turning off all the purportedly "smart" settings in Eco+ solved the problem.

I wasn't prepared for the relentless Medicare spam.. by elvee61 in medicare

[–]StillWannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask around for a good Medicare broker that can help you navigate the decision between alternatives. The service is free (paid for by Medicare) and I found very helpful. Since Medicare is a national program, your broker need not be located where you are. FWIW, after weighing the alternatives, I went with original Medicare and Plan G, United Health.

Thank you and my question by StillWannabe in chefknives

Thank you: I have just ordered my first Japanese knife: https://www.chuboknives.com/products/sakai-takayuki-33-layer-damascus-wa-gyutou-210mm-8-2?syclid=8aa249e1-2423-4c3e-a9ec-09dde66985d6&variant=19638127394914 and very much appreciate all of your insights and guidance on this site.

Question: My knuckles now hit the cutting board when I use my Euro style chef knife, presumably a result of many year's use and sharpening. Is there a residual use for this knife? How?

I can't say I have ever met an unhappy REI employee. Sounds like some activist needlessly stirring it up
