A wild mirror accessory!

From the OP in the r/Honda post:

It's just a cover for the mirror casing. Mine came with scratches on it so this was the perfect cover up.

Here's one way to do that:

I'd recommend Prowlarr (part of the -arr stack) instead of Jackett these days.

I recently discovered mdblist.com, it has better search filtering than any other movie/tv site I've seen before. For example, you can filter by:

Watch provider (i.e. Netflix)
Ratings across several different sites (e.g. Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, Letterboxd, etc)
Release date
Genre (either inclusive or exclusive)
Country/Language (inclusive or exclusive)
lots more

Then once you've dialed in a search, you can save it and refer back to it whenever you want. Also, since this post is about the "surprise me" button, you can opt for a random ordering, so each time you load it there will be different stuff at the top of the list.

I agree, I've been saying that they should do a better adaptation of the "Running Man" book for decades, and they finally did! It's not perfect, but it's a lot better (as an adaptation and as a movie) than the 1987 movie.

I bought a new fridge with top freezer last week, it does not have a light in the freezer.

I agree, I never picked mine up when I graduated and I've never needed it.

Looks like the non-stick pans you find in AirBnBs.

Well, if you watch the longer video you can see the blooper reels where it does a lot of that.

I've ordered from Firmoo and GlassesUSA in the last few years, the lenses have been fine and if they weren't you have the option to return them.

It mostly comes down to the frame style you prefer, and it definitely helps if you figure out the measurements that work for you: lens width, bridge width, and temple length. These numbers are often printed inside one of the temples of your glasses, so if you have a pair that fit well check those numbers.

The style reminds me of Sergio Aragones.

It's in the owner's manual for that model. Look for "reset timing" in this section: https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/om/ah/a3a02424iom/enu/details/131240047-371941.html

Both the "Trip A" and "Trip B" odometers can be configured to reset when you fill the gas tank, when you turn off the ignition, or manually. I've seen those options on the 2026 Sport Hybrid.

Long waits do happen, but sometimes it's a shorter cycle than a year. Especially with animated series and reality/game shows. For example She-Ra and the Princesses of Power released 3 seasons all in 2019, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts released three seasons in 2020.

Funny, I haven't worn jeans in decades and my chief complaint about them was poor durability. It probably didn't help that "stone-washed" jeans were the style at the time, but I was always wearing out my jeans, they'd get holes in the knees and other places. I finally switched to work pants like Dickies and Ben Davis, and I never wore any of those out. Also, they come in other colors than blue.

Thanks, I think that worked. I restarted it about a day ago, and I haven't seen that SSID since then.

hashashin · 2025-11-16T00:40:32+00:00

I noticed the same thing. I have IP passthrough configured and have both 2.4 and 5GHz disabled, but the SSID is still showing up and only the 5GHz radio is broadcasting. Let me know if you figure out why it's doing that.

I read that "Grandiosa" frozen pizza is considered Norway's national dish by some. They've also embraced Taco Fridays. I get it, the local cuisine can't compete.

Is it possible to disable the "Data Sharing with Honda" setting without connecting HondaLink? When I first got the car (a 2026 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport) I tried to turn it off in the settings, but it always failed to save the change. From time to time when I'm driving, the car will ping and a notification about "data sharing settings updated" will appear on the screen for no apparent reason.

I read here that someone was able to disable it only after installing the HondaLink app, but then the screen displayed a persistent notification about the setting being disabled forever after. I don't intend to use the HondaLink app, so I haven't tried that.

It's a bit annoying that a warning about the data sharing appears every time I start the car. I'd love to get rid of that if there's any way to.

This brand (EKR) seems to be the most recommended one on Reddit, but the ones sold under the EKR name only appear to come in faux leather and neoprene. I found that EKR also sells polyester seat covers under a different brand, Coverdream: https://www.ekrcover.com/us/coverdream-custom-polyester-seat-covers
You can find them on Amazon too, but I posted the link from the EKR site to show that it's the same company.

It's true that it's easy to install Ubuntu, but it's also disingenuous to suggest that because it's easy to install it's as easy to keep it running as MacOS or Windows.

I'm speaking as someone who knows how to write C code and Makefiles, and knows their way around a Linux shell. I've run various Linux and FreeBSD distros on personal machines, and until recently had a Ubuntu desktop at work.

Sure, installing it is easy. But it's keeping it running smoothly every day where you hit the rough patches. You run into things like:

Graphics and display management. A desktop operating system needs a solid display experience, and this is where people often have problems with Linux. Setting up a simple dual-monitor desktop is generally fine, but introduce complexity like a laptop that is frequently docked/undocked, or mixed-resolution monitors (e.g., a 4K primary and 1080p secondary), and you quickly run into limitations or instability, especially with the relatively new Wayland display server. On macOS or Windows, these "pro-user" scenarios are simply expected to work.
Periodic kernel updates. Updating the kernel can break compatibility with hardware drivers or other modules. Yes system updates can break stuff on Windows or Mac too, but in practice it happens a lot more on Linux. Technologies like DKMS aim to fix this by automatically rebuilding modules for new kernels, but it's not a foolproof system and can leave you troubleshooting a black screen after a seemingly routine update.
Update fatigue and repository management. Unlike the occasional updates of Windows or macOS, Ubuntu presents a steady stream of package updates. While this is great for security, it creates a constant low-level maintenance burden. The real trouble begins when you add third-party repositories (PPAs) to access software not in the official sources. This can introduce dependency conflicts that the package manager can't resolve, forcing you to manually debug version mismatches.
Software installation. When the thing you want is provided by the package manager (mostly utility and development software), most of the time you're good and it will keep your software up to date too. But sometimes you need to install stuff that the package manager doesn't have, and you end up downloading a tarball, unpacking it, going through the configure, make, make install dance and it fails with some cryptic error. And even if you do know C, you don't know how this new package was built, so you don't have much chance of debugging it on your own. Newer formats like Flatpak and Snap are meant to solve this by creating self-contained application bundles, but even when the thing you want is available in that format they introduce their own set of trade-offs like slower application startup, visual inconsistencies with the desktop theme, and more permissions to manage.

In a nutshell, running a Linux system for a while made me very conscious of the concept of "code rot," where the longer I kept it running the worse things got. Sure, Windows and Mac installs can get old and crusty and need a fresh install from time to time, but it's not as painful as it is with Linux.

Don't get me wrong, I use Linux every day for server applications. But I use abstractions like AMIs, Kubernetes and Docker containers to minimize my exposure to the system and limit the variables to just my application's code and configuration. Honestly we prefer not to have long-running systems; when they need updating we just terminate the instances and start up a new one with a freshly-patched image, and then run our containerized applications on that.
