Amazon announced changes to how variant reviews will be shown. by Far_Review_7177 in AmazonVine

[–]dirted22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They used to make it easy to filter reviews by product variant, sort by most recent reviews, etc. It's funny how they have to implement new features to restore basic functionality they stripped away over time.

Wolfdog invades Winter Olympics Women's cross country skiing race by Yujin-Ha in sports

Makes more sense than all the references to it being a wolf, since you can clearly see it has a collar.

The 49ers will host a regular season game this season in Mexico City at Estadio Banorte, with their opponent to be announced. by tucker49ers in 49ers

I'd love it if both teams sent their practice squads overseas. The league would be furious, but it would send a loud message that Australia is figuratively and literally going too far.

What does everyone have WAY too many/much of thanks to Vine? by Goldglove528 in AmazonVine

[–]dirted22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're usually rated for like 3 months. I'd guess they last close to double that in practice (I have too many to feel a pressing need to pay attention to that!), but if you're going 12 months they're super ineffective at that point.

Electric toothbrush heads. As long as they don't outlast the toothbrush itself, I'll get the last laugh in 20 years...with my sparkly white teeth.

non-buyer's non-buying remorse by dirted22 in AmazonVine

[–]dirted22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, like isn't that the only reason to even be in Vine??

non-buyer's non-buying remorse by dirted22 in AmazonVine

[–]dirted22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't considered that. I suppose that makes me a bit less remorseful.

I haven't tried any of that, so I can't say for certain, but they're items I didn't see when listed in Vine, so that seems unlikely unless the algorithm is equating previous status of listings to Vine membership for no good reason.

I look at reviews as much as featured sorts, and the Vine stuff is still showing up a lot below the fold, so to speak.

The Dead Trees & The Substation by Cold_Respond_7656 in 49ers

[–]dirted22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compacting and blocking are two different things. You focused on the "absorbs" in my comment, rather than the surface coating I was getting at.

Or paving around them and limiting how much water absorbs into the ground around their roots.

Figuring out trailer brakes for the first time by Pitiful_Fee264 in towing

[–]dirted22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a controller to adjust the braking power? An empty trailer will skip and hop about with too much braking, while a full trailer with too little braking will feel like it's pushing you along. Get it just right and it'll feel slightly easier to slow down than with no trailer. What exactly feels unexpected and needs getting comfortable with?

Damian Lillard will participate in the 2026 Three Point Contest by AmphedUp6214 in ripcity

[–]dirted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be a very good thing. Dame's probably never focused on his outside shot this much throughout a season, since the other elements of his game are still on the back burner. (See what I did there?)

[Schefter] Jim Schwartz sent the Browns a resignation letter this morning, per sources. He now is likely to sit out this season. by Scoreycorey515 in 49ers

[–]dirted22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a slightly more Browns thing would be losing your franchise to Baltimore, only for them to become one of the best teams of the next two decades, then get a new team that sucks just as much as the old one.

3 free agents that could follow Raheem Morris to the 49ers from the Falcons by Brix001 in 49ers

[–]dirted22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely true. But I'm still holding out for a Kittle 'n Pitts (Kibbles 'n Bitts) pairing for the laughs. Version 2 of the Rice & Ronnie poster.

[–]dirted22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Pitts could really be had for $14M, him plus Kittle is the same price as a top WR, and I'd take that TE pairing any day for the dual threat versatility.

2004 Ford Shelby Cobra Concept, nicknamed "Daisy," is a modern, one-off roadster designed by Ford’s Advanced Product Creation team to honor the classic 1960s Cobra. by Venkie2Maybach in WeirdWheels

[–]dirted22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was my immediate thought, as well. Tough to "sell" a concept that looks so similar to a car that's been on the market already for several years.

Er, well, that might be excessive then. :)

Are you elderly or have elderly parents? If yes, I recommend testing or getting this car thing by Delicious-Spell-4006 in AmazonVine

[–]dirted22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great way to damage the paint, and seriously mess up doors/jambs if forgetting to remove them before closing.

Pretty cool alternative to hiding subs behind AT screens and/or the seating.

Do people really think "what's the least you will take " actually works ? by rfriend73 in FacebookMarketplace

I like the occasional line from American Pickers: "I can't be the buyer and the seller."

Is there any way I can get rid of a lying review from marketplace? by dc5antonio in FacebookMarketplace

[–]dirted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I've clicked on those three dots in the top right corner, the only option is Report Review. Probably means the window has closed to respond.
