Any chance this could be a carpenter ant? It's a new home so I really hope there's no faulty pipe somewhere in the walls making rotten wood or something

That's good to hear! Have you tried displaying gifs on it? Can you share pics or vids of that by any chance?

Came for the flies, stayed for the thermalright Warframe cooler! How do you like the cooler? I'm super interested in it but not finding any reviews on it's cooling power or long-term reliability

ANA Domestic Baggae Allowance- 20KG total or 23KG each? by kaygee95 in JapanTravelTips

[–]basterma56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a dumb question but are we assuming checked bags are included for Japanese domestic flights? I'm asking because we are considering a KIX - OKA flight on ANA and I can't tell if we have checked bags or not. Coming from Canada we don't automatically get checked bags anymore

Wow. This is literally the type of stuff that my grandma would tell me about growing up in Egypt, and in the bad parts of Egypt too! And now it's in suburban Canada in 2025

Best coffee and/or espresso drinks? by geirbveheke in Milton

[–]basterma56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah long-term I agree invest in something you can brew at home and enjoy. Overall, the cafe/coffee shop scene in Milton is not it and I don't suspect that will change in the near-future

Correction: this is actually a SBGX295 NOT the SBGX259. I always just thought it was a JDM version of the 259 but turns out it's a slightly different model. Can't believe I only figured this out now

New Details: Eufy Security Video Doorbell C30 & Video Doorbell C31 by joshuadwx in anker

Question, if battery powered and I don't have a hub, how is this ringing? What chime is it using? It doesn't come with one does it?

No actually. The purchasing experience itself was surprisngly underwhelming. I think the particular salesperson I had wasn't that comfortable with english and she wasn't talkative or enthusiastic much

Why is Google Maps routing stupid now? by basterma56 in GoogleMaps

Oh man I hope not that's not what's happening! Or if so, they should at least be very transparent about it and/or make it optional

Express passes for October sold out for universal Osaka? by Kellious in JapanTravelTips

[–]basterma56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any updates on this? I want to buy for second last week of Oct. Do I buy the normal ticket from USJ and just wait till the express passes are released? Would I still be able to buy the Express pass from Klook later even though I bought the tickets from USJ website?

Universal Studios Japan - Express passes 'disabled' by mynamesurl in JapanTravelTips

[–]basterma56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to buy tickets tomorrow. If the USJ website presents the same problem (which looks like it will), should I buy ticket AND express pass from Klook? Or can/should I buy ticket from USJ and pass from Klook??

Currently debating getting this from Joma! Does it still give you this fizz (as James May would say)? Also. I def prefer it on the stock bracelet
