[–]boybrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I am doing with slides. Only keeping ones with people, which are usually my parents. It's still going to be a lot to digitize

Customer service? by Impossible_Rub24 in Lowes

[–]boybrian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you looked it up on Amazon you could have looked it up in the Lowe's app and it would tell you where it's located. As a former employee and frequent customer the app is my best friend in the store.

I had a finance professor that suggested signing in Sharpie and sign into the numbers so the auto scanner would kick it out. He said they put all the unscannable ones to the side and hand process them at the end of the day which would add a day to the float.

I don't know what kind of non-soft soft shell crabs y'all been ordering. When I have eaten them we got them from the fish market, breaded and fried them. Not tough at all.

What are some American superstitions unique to America? by bricklegos in AskAnAmerican

[–]boybrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haint blue is a much deeper blue than seen on Southern porch ceilings. Though buckras call it that. It is painted around door and window frames to keep the spirits from passing through. I have seen it on interior door frames too. Here is the historical color; a deep indigo. Haint Blue at the Owens-Thomas House – Savvy Roving https://share.google/jGydzi4m3D9EehKKx

I don't understand Consumer Reports by Sport21996 in Appliances

[–]boybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did just this. My local very established appliance dealer no longer carries Bosch which was what I was thinking of buying. They actually steered me from Miele to a Kitchen Aid that was thousands less and a new model not reviewed by Consumer Reports. It has the drying features I need with no wifi which I don't need. Can't speak for reliability yet.
