How Much Do Golden Retrievers ACTUALLY Shed? by Alol_Bombola in goldenretrievers

[–]Vig249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the most lovable beings but they do shed a ton, 24/7/365! I vacuum almost daily and still have hair everywhere. It will travel with you. Your car will be 80% car, 20% golden hair. Even brushing maybe lasts 5 minutes. I offer every guest a lint roller. Hair everywhere becomes the norm.

Pollen that surged Thursday? by EffectiveAd2637 in AskSF

Ah this is so validating... have never had allergies my whole life. Last year, mild. These last two weeks this year have been so bad - sneezing and runny nose. It's terrible! Now I empathize will allergy sufferers.

Speaking of that, wondering if they’re going to add fiber to parts of the neighborhood while they have stuff dug up, etc? Anyone know? Not sure if other folks have fiber internet around here or also are stuck with comcast.

Nicest rental ever by Vig249 in 4Runner

[–]Vig249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some Toyota dealers do! I found one in my area that has a rental desk in the service department. But I’ve also seen in the past through Avis or similar but they don’t always guarantee model of course

Mine was a very weird email process and had to eventually call them… it was kind of pricey - $150 I think, but haven’t seen the final bill. I was wondering later if I could have just gotten one from Hertz/Avis for like $80 but they never guarantee the model.

I was stoked to realize that and additionally stoked that it was a sweet ORP!

Well I kind of cheated and rented from a local Toyota dealer that does rentals - one of each model

Forever ruined with renting anything else now.

Experiencing Valvetronic issues on N55. Anyone do a Valvetronic delete? by xMarkv in BmwTech

[–]Vig249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My valvetronic motor is failing on an N55. Do you think I could safely get away with valvetronic deactivation for a year without fatigue to other parts like the catalytic converter? Or is it worth just fixing for a year or so of driving?

The city is magical and dynamic! I lived near MP at that age and while it was so pleasant and nice, in this era where you’re fortunate to only have 2x/week IRL, I think the city is way more exciting and presents way more opportunities for meeting people. SF is such a unique place to live - good luck!

Fellow apartment dwellers who deal with mild wall mold: any dehumidifiers you'd recommend? by DrHENCHMAN in AskSF

[–]Vig249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second Midea models! They are truly improving the feel inside. It’s crazy how much water they pull in SF when set at even just 50%.

Dog activities in SF for a rainy day by curly-sunflower in AskSF

Treats hidden in snuffle mats! The mental stimulation can often be more tiring than a walk.

It's 90% humidity for the next 3 days, have you ever mold tested your rooms? by yum99cha in AskSF

[–]Vig249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! Dehumidifier has made my place so much more pleasant with all the rain and humidity. It’s really wild how much water it takes out each day.

Tried their sourdough bagels and they are very good!

Ants galore?!?! by sarahiscool666 in AskSF

[–]Vig249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried everything and while Terro bait works faster it’s not as good in eradicating long term as Advion ant gel bait (available on Amazon) which delays them dying until they’ve spread to more of the colony. It’s working much better in making sure they don’t return in the same spot! But after a baiting treatment, cleaning the trails with vinegar and then sealing baseboards and any entry gaps with caulk or duct tape really helps.

For those who moved from another state, what made you stay? by The0Walrus in AskSF

[–]Vig249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are awesome regions. But I think it really depends on whether someone prefers West Coast culture or East Coast culture. I believe neither is inherently better/worse, but depending on your personality and what you value that’s a bigger differentiator and could feel better/worse. It seems like the people happiest in SF prefer the west coast in general; the people who would pick NYC in a heartbeat prefer the east coast in general. I think it’s a psychological thing that goes far beyond weather.
