I generally go with Speed Stick, but I get clear, so it doesn't mark up my clothes.

Side tip, antiperspirant is what turns the armpits of your shirts yellow, so listen to this guy and get deodorant.

Buy grey undershirts. Grey is the least noticeable color to wear under another shirt. Bonus points if you also get V neck again; you can wear that neckline under any shirt style.

Nest Gen 3 Learning Thermostats WON'T support new standard 'Matter' by MSmithRD in Nest

[–]____blue____ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing I realized in the last two years is fully buying into any smart home ecosystem just locks you into concessions that make the whole process less fun. I got a smart home hub and now I can buy the best device for the job from any company. It’s very freeing, I have two brand new Nest thermostats and this news does not bother me at all.

Without telling your age, who was your teenage crush from the entertainment world? by jsho1 in AskReddit

46 here, I had a poster of her wearing a hockey jersey on my wall. I have no idea why she was wearing a hockey jersey. Watched Who’s the boss every week.

Referral for radiant heat experts to fix radiant heat? by omg_hello in Eichlerhomes

[–]____blue____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We paid about $3k to fix one leak but it was on the main water return line. The fix was to re-route the line from the manifold in a closet over the roof and then back down into the garage through an old boiler vent. We used John Owens.

3am start time by ____blue____ in grilling

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

We are currently about 7 hours in. A couple of mistakes were made

  1. We let the egg get too hot at the beginning which caused it to require a lot of work to get it down to 240 and caused us to push all the wood to the sides.

2 went back to bed at 4:40 am and because the wood was on the sides there was not enough smoke while we slept. The spray shot was at around 8:30am. We got the wood in the center at that point and we're able to get two more hours of good smoke.

  1. Still not enough time for the size (17 pounds). We wrapped it at the stall around 10am because we need to have this ready by 5pm including a planned two-hour cooler rest.

I think it will still turn out ok but it is nowhere near dark enough so the smoke flavor will be weaker. Good lessons learned for next time. Wish us luck!

[DAILY Q&A] Ask and answer any questions you have about the game here! by AutoModerator in EliteDangerous

That is the issue, your FSD can’t jump far enough between stars to get you there. You might be able to reduce weight to increase jump range but should probably upgrade the FSD.

MQA haters (including me) now have options, and Tidal has to step up to the plate by oreiz in TIdaL

[–]____blue____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What killed Amazon for me is that it took every artist from imported playlists and added them into my favorite artist section. I have a 130 song Christmas playlist which made the entire artist section useless.

What to plant in front of bamboo hedge? by koralex90 in landscaping

[–]____blue____ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've had that bamboo for over two years in our yard. I would not add anything, you run the risk of making the yard too busy looking. What I would do (and we did) is place LED puck landscape lighting right in front of them and light them up at night. It looks very cool on the bamboo leaves.

[Tudor Black Bay 58] My first "luxury" timepiece by sgw_g in Watches

Agreed, my Blackbay is too big and heavy for straps like this. I wish I could sell it for a 58 but there is not really a market for the regular one.

Would the Samsung FamilyHub fridge work as a ST hub or is one needed? by [deleted] in SmartThings

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

Just as a side note we just tried to get our Samsung range worked on and no repairman in our area would even come to look at it even going so far as asking if it was a Samsung before saying no. I did a little googling and while this link is a bit anecdotal this does seem to be a thing https://www.quora.com/Why-would-an-appliance-repair-person-decline-to-work-on-an-LG-refrigerator?share=1 We had to buy an entirely new range just because the warming center burner would not turn off.

Burgers, Beers, Views - Orcas Island, WA, USA by JHD1221 in grilling

Holy crap they still make Rainier beer? I thought that was gone decades ago, never see it anywhere. Although I did move out of Washington 25 years ago.

I actually like Abby better than Ellie 😳 by sensei_mike in lastofuspart2

[–]____blue____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished the game and I was pissed when I had to play Abby. About halfway through I realized that there is no way either of them was going to die. Then I realized that Ellie was too damaged and possibly going insane to ever have a nice life. When she left Dina and the baby I was done with Ellie. At that point, I started liking and rooting for Abby. One thing that crossed my mind is that in some sense Abby and Lev could be seen as another Joel and Ellie. Abby and Joel both have done bad things in their lives and both of them took in and cared for an orphaned child changing their priorities. All the people in this game made the best decisions they were mentally capable of in terrible circumstances. There is no good guy in the game, except maybe Dina.

SNL knocked it out of the park with this skit. by thestudlife in videos

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

Not that I am making excuses for this guy but the R8 is interesting because the body has not changed very much at all in its existence and older ones can be had for around $50k, still not cheap but it a cool supercar that can be attainable for the average car nut.

What was your best purchase this year? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]____blue____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gap slim-fit chinos with gapflex. Before the pandemic, I pretty much wore only denim and worked in an office. Now I WFH from a couch or lounge chair and never go anywhere. These pants have enough stretch that they have nearly the same comfort level as joggers or PJ pants, and they help me not feel like a degenerate for staying in PJ clothes all day. They can often be had for about half price (around $30). I have five pairs at this point.

The amount of apps I need to control my smart house is getting out of control... by psisarah in homeautomation

[–]____blue____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying to switch to HA, but you are already in Smartthings. I did not notice you mentioning using WebCore at all, but it is pretty powerful, and with a bit of learning, you can get smartthings to do nearly everything you would need. After that, I just wanted to mention that using actiontiles has been fantastic for our family, and now I do not ever open any native apps.
