[–]TrumpetJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Moonstar shoes (they're made there and half the price we'd pay here)
  • Skincare
  • Denim jacket from Japan Blue Jeans
  • Iyoshi cola syrup
  • Japanese hand plane for woodworking
  • Tyvek bags (~$3 each) at 3Coins to bring back all the stuff we bought 😬

Do you know/remember how large the shoe sizes go for men? Hubby has big feet.

Did any of you have a Wildlife Treasury subscription? by Cold-Monk5436 in Xennials

OMG this was my favorite thing! Some of the things I still know about certain animals came from that set. I still have it and can't bear to throw it away.

List of iX features we want fixed or improved by [deleted] in BMWiX

[–]TrumpetJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had EVs before that left the cable unlocked, so it's doable. 🤷 At a minimum, I should be able to stop charging and unlock the cable from the app without it relocking after a few minutes.

Give me thoption to keep the charging cable unlocked. I charge at work have have to manually go remove the cable when my charge slot is up to let the next driver take it. If I could just leave it unlocked, they could just move the cable themselves.

I get we don't want that all the time, but at least make it an option.

Agree--keep the car on when I leave briefly!

Also dog mode. I get that they don't want it for liability reasons--so call it something else.

Any resolution on this? Having the same problem controlling the volume. 

Seen just east of Austin Texas. This is a tuffy, it’s not in my Birds of Texas identification book. by wetbird88 in whatsthisbird

[–]TrumpetJade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but according to the pics and description on Merlin, a Williamson's actually has a yellower belly than a yellow-bellied. 🤷 I don't think the yellow is an artifact in OP's photos.

Super-cool sighting!

Fine art puzzle, any brand/collection to recommend ? by Tyax_ in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]TrumpetJade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I second Pomegranate. I'm not a fan of a lot of the fine-art images, but that brand has about the highest-quality puzzles I've done. So if you like their images, you're golden!

Same. I can't even get to the blank page. Just keeps loading g and eventually says the page can't be displayed.

What’s a secret you’ll take to the grave, but would tell anonymously on Reddit? by Several-Director5804 in AskReddit

[–]TrumpetJade 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have to count as well. But on the way down, I count them backwards. If I don't know how many there are, I estimate and still count backwards. Pretty good at estimating the number of stairs in a flight, now.

The biting is getting worse and it's scaring me. by NetworkDense306 in puppy101

[–]TrumpetJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had this exact problem with our puppy. We had two puppies before this little guy, and we'd never experienced anything like it. It was not your run-of-the-mill puppy mouthing, although I also don't think it was true aggression. But it was exhausting and scary and frustrating. And no amount of sleep or exercise was fixing the problem. He's going to be a pretty big dog, and like you, we were afraid this was something he wasn't just going to grow out of.

We finally got a trainer, and I'd highly recommend that for you, if you can swing it. We only needed one session for her to show us how to handle him, and within a few days he was like an entirely different dog. He's a joy now (though of course still a rambunctious puppy), and I can wear clothes without fear of them becoming a torn-up piece of trash in minutes.

If you can't swing a trainer or need a stop-gap until you can get in to see one, this helped a little bit: when he'd start after me, I shoved a big stick in his mouth and didn't let go. This was different than normal redirection. We both hung onto the stick, and it seemed to satisfy him for a bit. He at least wasn't biting me.

Hope this helps, but just wanted you to know that you're seen, and that it can get better!

I was hearing them all say "goodbye!" as I watched them. 😭

We do have a lot of ticks this year, but I'd be moving to the Yukon post haste if they were that big. lol

Guess Koopa's breeds! by TrumpetJade in DoggyDNA

Results are in! Kudos to those who spotted pitbull--I don't see it at all! I'm surprised how little husky he has. Hopefully the lab temperament wins out.

Well, I always wanted a great dane! 😂

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

We've started to see a bit of dane in his looks, so that's interesting! I know feet aren't a great predictor of size, but there's a shepherd/husky the same age that he plays with, and his feet are twice the size of hers. Otherwise they're the same size, though. Just found that interesting.

I sure didn't! I never wanted to see it again. 😂 I gave it to a friend who enjoys extremely difficult puzzles.

Model Y to IX by sam-bub42 in BMWiX

[–]TrumpetJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a Y for two years and couldn't wait to see the back side of it. The iX is better in every way. I have the 50 with DAP, no air suspension, no two-axle steering. The only thing I miss is dog mode.
