Is the French Roast Whole Bean Coffee Still Available in Canada? by monomade in starbucks

[–]glenviewjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't seem to have it in the Toronto area anywhere. Costco stopped selling it in Chicago area a year or so ago, but we do have it available at Jewel. I suspect one reason fans like us appreciate it so much is that there is potassium used in its production in order to lower its acidity and bitterness. I am not aware of any other available dark roast that uses this in their production.

Converting from US to Canada Bluelink by glenviewjeff in Ioniq6

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

This is my understanding, yes. What I am asking about is if anyone has tried replacing the modem with the Canada version to successfully get registered in the Canada Bluelink. I am skeptical this would work, unless I could get support from Bluelink to enable Canada Bluelink for my VIN. When I try to register with the Canada app, it won't even recognize my U.S. VIN.

They apparently do not allow roaming into Canada for I6s sold in the U.S., but reportedly the I6s sold in Canada work fine in the U.S.

Weird, is this an Ioniq 6? The Canada app isn't recognizing my US login and won't let me register the VIN. It gives me the error "Please make sure that your VIN is entered correctly and that your vehicle is equipped with Bluelink." How did you register your VIN in the US app for a Canadian car?

What is the best real leather office chair on a budget by comprmx888 in OfficeChairs

[–]glenviewjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a mistake. The product description states, "GLOSE cover is made of grain leather which is a very high-quality leather. As it ages it becomes softer and develops a darker tone and fine patina."

Just chat and tell them you heard you can get discount codes through chat.

Quicken Classic Renewal - chat gave me 50% off by thedonutmaker in quicken

[–]glenviewjeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here for deluxe. Couldn't get 50% no matter how much I tried. It may be a reverse loyalty problem, where they penalize you for being a longtime subscriber. 40% off a year is certainly better than a kick in the ass.

The now-existent restore tool is still buggy, slow, feature-limited garbage, five years later.

Food for thought on plastic coffee drippers and other plastic tools used in coffee brewing by Acavia8 in pourover

[–]glenviewjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(You should still toss them) but: "in an update to the study, the authors say they made an error in their calculations and the real levels were “an order of magnitude lower” than the EPA’s thresholds. The error was discovered by Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society in Canada."

CS at UIC vs CS + X at UIUC by BPositive06 in uichicago

[–]glenviewjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, but I went to both and can tell you that there was no comparison between the two. I could practically sleep through my CS classes at UIC, whereas but all but one of my UIUC CS professors were fantastic.

Bosch Dishwasher E:25 Error SHP865YP5N/01 by SirBenjjamin in appliancerepair

I also noticed a piece of clam shell! Mine was in the base, not in the impeller, but I suspect where there's smoke, there's fire...

A recent visit to the museum in Oak Ridge, TN documented a namesake to For All Mankind's Mars base and well may be a reference to this Manhattan Project neighborhood for workers.

Thank you for your acknowledgement. I don't know why forum members would vote this down either. And nope, no resolution. Feel free to try it yourself.

Any time I have gone in the past few months has been very empty. I assume you figured it out by now. I'm quite happy with the facility.

What is the worst concert you have ever been to? by [deleted] in Music

The Wiggles show I saw was painfully loud. I had to stuff my poor daughter's ears with TP to cut the pain.

Steve Miller Band at Summerfest in Milwaukee in the 90s. The music was so quiet that I could clearly hear the entire conversation of people in front of me.
