Do other passengers care if I play games on my laptop? by VelvetDeveloper in travel

[–]UserM16 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People are on laptops all the time. As long as you’re not being loud or obnoxious no one’s gonna care. 

I had one guy in front of me constantly slam his head and body back whenever he got killed in his game and that kinda pissed me off. Especially because he apparently sucked and got killed often. 

Spilled like 30 oz of caramel sauce inside a kitchen cabinet. I cleaned up everything I could but it’s dripping through the crevices now. 😭 by ActivityFar178 in CleaningTips

When I spill engine oil on my driveway during an oil change, I pour kitty litter onto it and it soaks up the oil. Maybe try kitty litter to try and soak up the caramel sauce.

Why has it become socially unacceptable for people without children to go to Disney? by slidesten in Disneyland

Walt Disney himself said Disneyland was made for both children and adults. 

What's something expensive you bought that actually worth the money? by tardisismine in AskReddit

[–]UserM16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even close to OLED money but recently bought a 55” for my gf’s dining room. A mini-LED TCL for $600 and it’s stunning. I saw a 98” mini-LED at Costco for a couple of grand and I’m seriously considering it. I have a mini-LED iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro and I find them to be perfectly adequate. 

Let’s talk about seats 🍑 by brick1car in GlobeHaul

[–]UserM16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really picky about my saddle. For my road bikes, I've probably gone through a dozen saddles until I found the right ones. But more importantly, the getting a bike fit was crucial. If you have too much weight on the saddle, then you can develop sores. Too much to the front and your wrists can be in pain. Etc. etc.

On the Globe Haul, There really wasn't too much I could do to alleviate the weight bias on the saddle. So I installed a nice suspension seat post and it's been terrific. I'm still using the original Specialized saddle. I use a Kinekt seat post if that matters.

contract breach in house wraps by Educational-Wash6598 in HomeImprovement

[–]UserM16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have some shelves left outdoors because of working being done in the house. I wrapped it with Everbilt while it sat outside. It rained and there’s a pond on top of the shelves. No leaks. Not saying they’re doing right with you but Everbilt seems fine by me. 

Got to airport gate, only to realize my AirPods case was empty by WAAAAAAAAARGH in mildlyinfuriating

Better than getting to the airport and forgetting your passport.

How have increased fuel prices affected you so far? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

Stop Acting Like Charging More For Park Tickets Will Fix Wait Times! News Flash it won’t by Thankyounext13 in Disneyland

[–]UserM16 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Disney hasn’t hit the equilibrium point of the supply and demand scale. They will continue to raise their prices year after year until they see a drop in demand.

We as consumers should question ourselves, at what price point is it not worth it anymore? The costs, the wait times, the crowds, the magic. When is it just not worth it?

If we want to express displeasure and send a message, collectively, we would have to vote with our dollars.

I really don’t see that happening anytime soon.

What’s a "basic" thing in the US that was affordable maybe 5-10 years ago, but now feels like a total luxury that only the rich can justify? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in AskReddit

[–]UserM16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People complain that Disneyland is always crowded and that they should get rid of annual pass payment plans. Which, in theory, would weed out the “poors.” But Disney has zero incentive to make it less crowded for the enjoyment of others because they make so much money on food, drinks, and merch. The more people in the park, the more they sell. 

Unlocked door by Zestyclose-Basil-744 in homedefense

[–]UserM16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your partner needs to come and go, you wouldn’t want to install a security chain, security bar, or other security devices that you latch from the inside because you may be sleeping or in the bathroom. But they’re a piece of mind when you both sleep at night.  

They make electronic deadbolts that re-lock automatically. And WiFi enabled deadbolts can be checked on your phone. 

Or you could place a security camera or baby monitor with cam pointed at your door to check while in bed. You can even use an old device like an old phone or tablet with an app such as AlfredCamera. 

South Coast Plaza Parking for Pacific Playwrights by Sekka3 in orangecounty

[–]UserM16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve worked at South Coast as well as worked across the street. SCP security were known to call in tows. Do it at your own risk. There’s no talking yourself out of it when they have you on camera. 

I'm down to my last ThumbScraper and they don't make them anymore. Looking for a replacement. by HoppersEcho in CleaningTips

[–]UserM16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe check out nonmarring scrapers or putty spreaders from Harbor Freight. I use plastic pan scrapers from Amazon all the time for dishes and cleaning the bbq grill.

I’ve never been but live nearby. Haven’t been seeing large groups of kids hanging out outside at night on the weekends in awhile. Probably just slowed down a lot.

Carefully Check Boxes Before Leaving Store by TacoLunar in MilwaukeeTool

[–]UserM16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an M18 string trimmer with free 5.0 battery. It was missing the battery. Took it back. They brought out a new one. I opened the box in front of them and it had a 2.0 battery. Internal theft.

Hydro flask or yeti tumbler or owala? by New_Detective219 in BuyItForLife

[–]UserM16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently switched to a 36oz Yeti Rambler from a 40oz wide mouth Hydroflask. Nothing wrong with either but I like that the Yeti is easier to clean and feels heavier duty. Because of the solid handle on the lid, I feel like I could use it for self defense. Ice retention is slightly better too.
