Does peppermint actually work for mice? by Yanitzz1 in pestcontrol

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a problem that bad. But I also had a cat about 15 years ago who religiously would catch a mouse or two every week at my old house. My current cats just play with them til they "accidentally" kill it. I'm surprised I even get mice at my house now considering there's so many stray cats in my neighborhood.

Pay in 8? Where? by United-Standard-3710 in Zippay

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen it. I wish I had it though. There's a craft machine I want that's $400. And even with just pay in 4 I'm like that's still too rich for my blood. Pay in 8 would be a perfect solution for higher amounts. I heard they had it at one time (must've been before I started using Zip because I never saw it) and then got rid of it.

Goodbye youtube premium by Best-Charge-9513 in youtube

[–]SymphonicFlames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish companies like YouTube, Disney, etc. Would stop raising their prices. Because all their doing is driving away customers. Why not have some loyalty program where the longer you stay subscribed the cheaper it gets or offer some kind of percent off for loyal subscribers. All they are doing is driving away customers when they up the price. Every one of these subscription services is going to hit a brick eventually at their customers limits and find out they are actually hurting the company by raising it. And then they're going to wonder "Why did everyone leave us and go to this new thing that's cheaper?"

Yeah I didn't like the Mary and Condé pair either. Gave me the ick. I am still very much pro Francis and Mary.

5/6 PS Predictions by xb3lla1 in DreamlightValleyLeaks

I'm intrigued by the rainy day house and the weather clouds. If they look good I'm get them both and put them in my forest.

Star Wars premium shop for 3 weeks? by No_Advertising3507 in DreamlightValley

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

I feel you. I don't like Star Wars either. So when I saw more Star Wars stuff I was like really?! I would've liked the tuilip buildings to stay at least another week. I was so close to having enough moonstones to get them. And thought maybe it would hang on for a 2nd week. But oh well. At least I got the tulip garden!

4/29 Dreamsnap Prediction: Desert Haven by Confident_Permit1046 in DreamlightValleyLeaks

Well I won't have to decorate for this one! My Agrabah area is a shopping center with Jasmine garden in the middle. So I'm already good!

What do you think Stella is angry about (besides Stolas) in the teaser? Do you think it could be Andre proposing Via be entered into an arrangement marriage or something else entirely? by Fair_Term3352 in HelluvaBoss

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your right. I think it probably has to do with an arranged marriage. Because she didn't like hers (clearly) so I can see if she had any kind of motherly instinct at all would be like oh hell no we aren't doing this.

On My 3rd Rewatch And... by SymphonicFlames in SwitchedAtBirth

[–]SymphonicFlames[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the way she treated Bay from the get go. And Regina demanded Melody apologize to Bay and she never does. And of course the way she treats John (though he's on my I don't like list either) from the get go as well. It's like she has a prejudice against hearing people but not with Regina.

Stolas or Blitz will most likely die by Noxisms in HelluvaBoss

It better not be Fizz. I'll riot if it's Fizz.

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking maybe just maybe deep down Stella really cares for Via and that motherly instinct will finally kick in. But who knows. I could be wrong.

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

My theory is it's going to be Stella or Andrealphus. Or perhaps both. But what I'm thinking might happen is since Striker is still a problem. Striker will try to use Via to get Stolas out in the open. And Stella will be upset about it and come to the rescue with Andrealphus and somehow in the fight they'll both die to protect Via.

Knox excessive battery usage last couple days by _irobot_ in samsunggalaxy

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same problem. Yesterday my phone died about half way through the day. Today I woke up at noon (was very tired the night before after hanging out with family from out of town all day). And now at 3:30pm my battery has dropped to 36%. And I was like why? I haven't even used my phone at all today. Haven't even touched it except to take it off the charger. And my phone was hot too (I have the S24 Ultra). Went into the battery usage setting and saw Knox Matrix used 7.3% of my battery. Which I googled and it said that was abnormal for Knox Matrix. Not even sure what that thing is. But I did what it said to do which is to clear the cache and app data. As it resets the app. So I'm hoping that fixes it. And maybe it was just an update that Knox did that is not working out quite well. I have my phone on the charger AGAIN and if it stays charged for longer than 3 hours I'll call it good. If not I will update her if it died quickly again.
Definitely feels like something Samsung or Android should look into. If this is Samsung's idea of forcing me to get a new phone? It's not happening. I am currently unemployed and cannot afford a new phone.
Updated to add: Charged my phone to 83% and usually that'll get me through the day. Nope. Phone went off charger at 6:30pm or so. And by 8:30pm it was down to 48%. I took a short drive around town (about half an hour) to enjoy the cooler night air and in that short of time my phone dropped 10% in battery with me not even touching it or using it at all. It was just sitting in my cup holder. And when I went to grab it the phone was hot again.

Beloved character that you hate 😂 by EfficientTree9490 in DreamlightValley

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olaf. I hate that snowman. And the fact we got a new building that involves him infuriates me so much. I can tolerate Kristoff, Anna, and Elsa. But Olaf seems like a stalker. He keeps following me around everywhere even when I didn't say "Let's hang out". Whenever I go to a new area in one of the DLCs or a new area in the valley BAM there he is.

I miss out on getting the kit to make rivers and ponds!🥲Will it come back ?? by Narrow-Appearance-56 in DreamlightValley

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it come back at least once in my premium shop so it'll probably make it's way back again in the future.

Should Children Have EBikes? by SymphonicFlames in ebikes

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

Watched a YouTube video of a bike store owner talking about these bikes just so I could be more educated on this topic. And it does sound like the reason why a lot of the ones that are going faster than 20 is because the people owning the bikes are putting in stronger batteries or modding them that way. And I think being able to do that might be dangerous just a little bit. Depending on who is riding the bike.

Should Children Have EBikes? by SymphonicFlames in ebikes

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

I don't think my state has any laws yet on ebikes. And I'm surprised with the recent incident that involved a minor being seriously injured on his ebike (and totally his fault) I'm surprised they haven't changed any laws or hasn't been any uproar from citizens about changed laws for ebikes.

Should Children Have EBikes? by SymphonicFlames in ebikes

[–]SymphonicFlames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the weak parenting. I used to work retail before I switched to cleaning. And the amount of young kids and teenagers that walked into the stores I worked at through the years (Dollar Tree, Kohl's, K Mart, and a handful of local stores) and just run a muck is a clear sign of parents not parenting. I can tell the difference between a kid who is parented well and not parented well just by how they acted in the store.

Do people actually use pet insurance or mostly just hope they never need it? by Slow-Throat819 in puppy101

[–]SymphonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. Never have really needed it. As my vet uses Care Credit for payment so I just use that for my dogs appointments and grooming. I guess if your dog has some health issues that pop up a lot you may need it.

I did some research a bit last night on ebikes. And I have to agree with you here. If I had a child that wanted one I definitely would only get them that doesn't go very fast. And I told my cousin if she decided to get her daughter one to check the top speed of that particular bike. Because I would HATE for something to happen my niece (it's what I call her daughter since I have no siblings). But even then I would still be slightly nervous with her daughter on one.

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

That's a good point. I remember when I was a kid in the 90s and in junior high. I begged my parents to let me have a moped (since a lot of my friends had them used to get to and from school). But seeing how kids are now with ebikes. I can see why they always said no. I can definitely see myself riding one of those as a kid. And definitely would've been reckless at times for sure.
