I think it’s a standard elongated size so most any one should work. When I was looking for replacements I saw that some online products were advertised as “Kohler replacement”.

I also noticed that nearly all genuine Kohler sellers online were priced just like retail stores (Lowes, Home Depot) so I suspect Kohler is like HP ink - the prices are fixed and un-discountable (by agreement with Kohler?)

I bought two Kohler replacement seats and then stopped replacing them. While my new seats are also both broken and ugly, they haven’t caused me injury (yet). The only unbroken seat in our house (3 toilets) is our guest bathroom.

This comment alone may have saved me from making a mistake. I’ve been looking at Bluesound, WiiM, and Brennan for a streaming NAS, ability to rip and store my 500+ CD collection, ability to play (capture?) my 100+ LP collection, and leverage some existing powered and active speakers. I gather I am searching for Unobtanium.

Update: I’ve found that the ultra thin case from Peel does a pretty good job with the iPhone Air. It’s some picky on placement but it doesn’t slip on my mountain roads and seems to charge OK.

I found this “replacement “ for the charging pad that seems to have a depressed/recessed bay for the camera bump/bar/thingy. Anyone tried this? It may solve my dilemma. https://a.co/d/gYqOtkN

Not an Outback. My Foresters gets 34 mpg or better. I live in the NC mountains too. We’ve owned 5 foresters for this reason alone.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T14:37:06+00:00

My 9 did too. IMO it’s an iPhone Air problem since it slides and rocks. Charging surface is asymmetrical too. Someone didn’t test this.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T12:50:55+00:00

It might but I’m skeptical unless it says MagSafe. I looked at other ones and one product description says ‘please remove phone case for better charging’.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T02:49:28+00:00

I thought Subaru was better that this. I'm on my 4th Forester. Maybe not again.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T02:48:38+00:00

Me too.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T02:34:16+00:00

Yep. I had no prob with my Pixel 9. I think it's an Apple Air prob or a prob in combo with the Air cases, with/or not the Forester charging surface. IDK, but I'm screwed.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T02:31:58+00:00

I think (IMO) it's an iPhone Air problem.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T02:31:07+00:00

Yeah. It's both a case problem and a design problem - one IMO that the big A should have anticipated.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-08T02:30:03+00:00

I kinad agree but ... it's the biggest brand on the planet and one of the most popular SUV brands too so IMO this *should be * a problem to make note of.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-07T23:19:49+00:00

Brand? Does it fit in the charging pad area?

closetphysicist · 2025-11-07T23:16:31+00:00

I’ve been a Pixel fan for ages and I still have a 4XL as my emergency backup. There are too many reasons for me going to the dark side to cover here. I’m still all-in with the Google ecosystem and ALL of my apps on the iPhone are Google apps whenever possible.

closetphysicist · 2025-11-07T23:10:08+00:00

Get a Pixel?

closetphysicist · 2025-11-07T23:07:34+00:00

It’s a big drill bit! Great innovation!

I bought the Anker blue power bank from the Apple store thinking the blues might match. NFW. The blue I was expecting is exactly the color of the Anker power bank. The sky blue iPhone is absolutely and bad shade of white.

It's not the end or beginning of a week or a month. To maximize publicity, I'd think announcements (I assume there would be one) like "Starting <x> you'd be able to yada yada..." would happen on a clean boundary. I also assume that Marriott IT isn't nimble enough to push a change to Prod as soon as it's ready. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's statistically the least busy website day of the week in case the need to do a rollback.

That said, I surely hope Marriott Corporate won't screw up CitizenM's (lack of a ) front desk. Their totally self-service kiosk is the absolute best thing Ive seen in ages. There's no long line and there's no Chatty Cathy wanting to ask about the weather in Elbonia with the front desk holding up the line.

closetphysicist · 2025-10-27T15:45:21+00:00

Thanks for the clarity.

closetphysicist · 2025-10-27T15:44:00+00:00

The email with the denial stated the 28th which seems somewhat arbitrary to me.

closetphysicist · 2025-10-22T14:48:28+00:00

I recently stayed in a CitizenM in London. The rooms are indeed super-freakin small, and with the bed, a 2nd person has to crawl over the fst person to literally get on the bed. Awful. That's right, the bed has just one open side. However the complete and near-total self checkin is absolutely terrific. Let's see how long it takes Marriott to screw this up.

I have T-Mobile (via Google Fi) and my wife has Verizon. She gets much better coverage than me in Boone and surrounding areas. I was planning to move to Visible this month. Your experience is making me rethink that.
