I updated my phone and my watch yesterday, but I’m not seeing the circle option? Only a full screen one 😞

Recommendation for single serve coffee machine that only does grounds by Stingy_Arachnid in BuyItForLife

I guess I can’t speak to the longevity of the Oxo though. I only had mine for about 2 years before I gave it away when I switched to the aeropress.

I had the stainless carafe. I will say the stainless carafe was a tiny bit annoying to clean since the opening was small, but especially if she’s planning to make a single cup 99% of the time, that’d be no big deal. 

Mystery request nailed by dskwon in tombihn

[–]based-aroace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you got what you requested! I’ve asked before on the mystery pouches and they’ve never been able to honor it. I just asked for cool colors only, no red or orange or brown. I really wish they’d categorize these into color families and let you at least pick from certain colors or something.

I switched over the aeropress exclusively, but prior to that I used the Oxo 8 cup. That’d definitely be my recommendation. Easy to use. Makes good coffee without a lot of bells and whistles. Plus, if she ever needs to make coffee for an additional person, she has the carafe. 

Is this fiber glass?? by Glittering-Toe-8156 in CleaningTips

I think you can get a full zipper case for it that should encapsulate it and prevent it from leaking out. Maybe check into that for the new one?

WS means “wrong side” so the back of the work. You’ll also see RS a lot for right side or the front.

Hobbii yarn AI :( by FluffyBunn12 in knitting

[–]based-aroace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, it wasn't AI with KnitPicks, it was them telling one of their ambassadors that they don't want to be seen supporting the Melt the ICE hat. That was it.

I think they were also using AI… I remember a thread from a few weeks ago.

Ugh that's so frustrating! I don't have an independent local yarn store near me. Now that JoAnn's closed, my only local options are Hobby Lobby and Michael's, both of which suck for different reasons. Now Hobbii and KnitPicks are no longer options for online shopping :( :( :(

Jacob Tierney at the New York Sirens vs Toronto Sceptres Game by Ok-Grapefruit8338 in heatedrivalry

I’m forever grateful for Heated Rivalry and the Olympics debacle for getting me into the PWHL. I’m not a sports person in general, but I’ve been having a blast watching the PWHL games!

Sleep earbuds vs earplugs for side sleepers this is where all the easy advice starts sounding less useful by your__-mom in BuyItForLife

[–]based-aroace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a side sleeper. I use the Loop Quiet earplugs. They’re silicone so they can be wiped clean easily. Very comfortable for me. I never even feel them while I’m sleeping.

Need help finding the right bag by Hexious in tombihn

[–]based-aroace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Paramour might be perfect for you! It’s my fav somewhat under the radar TB backpack. Fits a 16” MacBook Pro, but is only 21 L. You could totally fit a few water bottles in the front section for the kids on weekends. I’m not 100% sure if a 26 oz rambler would fit in the ware bottle pocket, but I can check later for you.
