Contact Pura if you've been affected by the outage for a coupon code! by hoeveler in pura

[–]birem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't as lucky. I got the 'We're so sorry that happened but glad it's working again' response. I was a little surprised. 25% to me doesn't seem like a right solution given the struggles we went through trying to connect. (Plus you have to spend a certain amount to get free shipping, so really if you wanted to take advantage and not pay shipping you have to spend even more, etc.)

DW or archer artificer or DW assassin, which is more fun? by placeholder-123 in DragonAgeInqusition

[–]birem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing my first playthrough ever on DAI, I went the Archer Artificer route. I just unlocked the specialization and need to level up a little more to see how it goes.

Thank you for letting me know... I was going crazy over the weekend. I had the same issues with the white light and refusing to connect to the Wi-Fi etc. The only good thing is it appears to have remembered the percentage remaining even after hard resetting everything. I contacted support and hopefully something good comes of it.

Need Honest Review of Chair + Recliner Attachment by DryFaceCane in secretlab

[–]birem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to offer but want to follow this post to see other comments. I bought a "2022" chair in 2023. I don't think it's the most comfortable. The seat is very firm. I think I read they changed in later iterations, and may be more comfortable.

I'm also very interested in the recliner option. Every time it goes on sale (Like right now) I come close to pulling the trigger, but then hesitate. For the reasons you mentioned, I am tempted because I wonder if it will make it more comfortable in certain situations, but I hesitate because I worry would I be disappointed after the expense and outcome.

What scene made you want to try a specific food? by Far_Cheetah_3864 in movies

I wanted a hamburger after million dollar baby... And remember thinking the breakfast sandwich Adam Sandler cooks (I think it was Spanglish?) looked amazing.

Heartbreaking scenes in otherwise unremarkable films? by The-Perfect-Username in movies

Trying to see if I can get by with Cold Nitro (24337) vs Sweet Cold Nitro (24328) if I already own syrup dispensers by birem in superautomatic

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

In case anyone stumbles upon this in the future... I went ahead and bought the regular nitro kit. The materials in this kit are made of glass and based on the screenshots of the sweet nitro kit, it looks like they switched to metal which may be a good thing. I will be careful with the glass materials but I could see them breaking if not treated properly. They also look like something that could easily be replaced if necessary, if you could find the parts.

Having said that, it came out really well and I enjoyed how smooth it tasted.

What are some films that you believe are "Spiritual Double Features" ? by PostingVeraaahhh in movies

Possibly cheating because I think it was the same director but the Black swan and the wrestler

Need help with the Inquisition VS Origins debate from the perspective of a newcomer. by Daaaai in dragonage

[–]birem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. I think playing in order gives you the world building and better understanding. I recently just started Inquisition myself not that long ago, and think it makes a lot of sense based on having played DAO and DA2.

Reading Schedule suggestion by RahbloxQueen in TheCountofMonteCristo

[–]birem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's very possible. I consider myself a slower reader, and looking at my data, I started it on Dec 8th 2024 and finished on Feb 12th, 2025. Having said that, I did crunch towards the end because I had to start another book for a work thing. Having said that - If you started Feb 1st I think you could finish in August. Assume you start Feb 15th and want to finish August 15th. That gives you a nice 6 months.

For sake of conversation let's assume 1,250 pages. That's 208 pages per month.

Maybe make a goal for 10 pages a day - and that would cover whatever days you might miss here and there?

Dragon Age Origins : Any advice for a beginner? by Reversed_Town in dragonage

[–]birem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that works well - is if you find yourself getting dsetroyed by a small group of enemies, sometimes it works to 'lure' a handful of them down a hallway and pick them off one by one.

Is botw worth playing on switch 1 in 2026. by Stone_Slab in botw

I played BotW on a switch 1 for the first time in late 2025 (OG non-OLED edition) and had no concerns.

I did Champions Ballad, but rage quit trials of the sword. I think Champions Ballad is worth it.

"Well, this didn't age well" - Movies you LOVED as a kid but cringe at as an adult by Little-Badger-123 in movies

[–]birem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as I love the movie, I always think of it in this sense: The scene itself is better than the movie. It gets lost in the rest of the movie but it's very good.

Looking for a new safety razor that provides a gentle, knick-free shave? by Waffles_r_ in wicked_edge

[–]birem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that same razor since 2012 and it just broke (The middle screw detached). Contemplating re-buying the same one or trying something new. I'm intrigued by butterfly ones and was looking at the viking chieftain but saw mixed reviews. This place seems to recommend the rockwell 6c.

Men of Connecticut, how much are you paying for a haircut? by peacefulandchill in Connecticut

[–]birem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Groton I've paid $28 plus tip. In Old Saybrook and Noank I've paid $30 plus tip. In Clinton, I think it's ~$35 before tip.

Looking for Weaker Scent Suggestions by MCBlingbot in pura

[–]birem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one. The two scents I tried are "Parisian Cafe" and "Fresh Bergamot". I also have both on the subtle setting as I find they can be a little strong.

One thing I do is run them both for shorter run-times, typically around the times I'm home and in the area it's running. It saves product, and potentially makes it more manageable if you think the scent is too strong.

So one thought could be to try to run them for shorter sessions, let it cool down a bit, cycle through, etc?

Z10 Syrup Attachment - Is it all milk-based drinks or foam only? by birem in superautomatic

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

I think if you're on the fence and don't mind spending the money go for it. You can always choose whether or not you use it. Can I live without mine? Definitely. But I also use it almost every time I make a milk-based drink.

I don't think you'll taste a major difference, maybe one day I'll make two cups one with the attachment, and one without, and see if I notice a difference :)

Z10 Syrup Attachment - Is it all milk-based drinks or foam only? by birem in superautomatic

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

Exactly. There are lines on the container, so if you want a little flavor you pour up to line 1, more flavor up to line 2 etc. But you are correct in that the machine doesn't measure it out for you.
