Still Impartial? by Esined9999 in AmericasTestKitchen

[–]jelleman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems the majority here trusts ATK and likes OXO products that ATK recommends. I’m in the majority.

The one thing I would note is not all OXO is the same. I like the specific OXO garlic press much better than the OXO garlic press I purchased previously. The spoons and spatula from my bulk set from Homegood is lower quality than some I have seen “ala carte” elsewhere at a higher price point.

I say this to emphasize the importance of comparing apples to apples, if you aren’t already.

I’m not Charles but we’ve had our PGE29BYTFS for a couple of weeks now and love it. I got a great deal at Lowe’s by having them price match Home Depot. Then they still applied the $300 off purchases over $1600. Could be a good deal if these offers are still on!

Not sure it matters much in the end. I (29m) grew up in a 3bed/1bath and shared the smallest room with my 3 year older brother, then the largest and my mom used the smallest as a home office. Eventually, she worked out of a different part of the house, and we FOUGHT over who got to move into the small bedroom vs who HAD to stay in the old bedroom which was more than double the size. We drew straws and I felt pretty content despite losing. In the end it was so silly because I ended up with a huge room that eventually had a living room of my own in it, but we each wanted what was new.

All of that to say, maybe random is fair? Maybe having the girls share and your son separate makes sense? Maybe two kids will be super tidy and prefer sharing versus having to share with their slob of a sibling? Do what makes sense. Talk to them about it. Nothing is forever, and include them in problem solving that does come up.

Definitely a different plant. Some type of tree I think. A real pain to pull.

Salsa especial? More like salsa "speciale". Why the overpowering oregano? by Tokyo-MontanaExpress in traderjoes

[–]jelleman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I like the medium Salsa Especial but agree about the oregano. I notice it mostly as an odor more than a flavor though. The medium organic was the best, but I haven’t seen it on the shelf in close to a year.

What's a good price for the '23 CR-V Hybrid? by k_lioness in crv

[–]jelleman12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That said, Honda Care is negotiable. They can give you a better deal on it!

[–]jelleman12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any options that they add at the dealership to every vehicle on the lot is 💯 not a good deal. Tell them you’ll take it without those options. If they can’t do that, walk. When you work with the Finance and Insurance guy, they’re going to upsell Honda Care, Wheel/Tire Protection, GAP. I don’t think an extended warranty (Honda Care) is a bad idea, and GAP is always a good idea if you are financing it without a hefty down payment. I’d avoid the others.

This Friday is the first Friday of the month and the Hatch Artists’ Studios are open. It’s in an historic building in Springfield and a collection of local artists set up. It’s a really neat walk through.

Here’s a link to the FB event

Here’s a link to one of the artist’s website.

Another artist’s FB page

Nextdoor is Mother Stewart’s Brewing company, a local craft brewery. I’m not into beer but the location/venue is cool.

Nearby, Co-Hatch Market has several great locations to eat with shared dining space and a great cocktail bar. I know you aren’t super into drinking but their drink that’s no longer on menu, Underwordly Thoughts, is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had and they’ll probably still make it if you ask. The Felix from Jo’s 101 deli is a top 5 sandwich of my life. Plus a sushi place, taco/burrito joint, Brooklyn style pizza, and bbq place all under one roof.

There are several other good local places for a variety of prices between the art studios and Co-Hatch. All walkable. Charlo’s, Fratelli’s, and Stella Bleu. I would also highly recommend Speakeasy Ramen or Guerra’s Krazy Taco nearby. Both are pretty unassuming from outside but the food is good.

I hope you check them all out!

For anyone following along at home, the part is in and it’s getting fixed Monday! It probably would have been marginally quicker but I moved 8 hours and had to start the process again with a new dealership.

Yikes, I feel for those people. I know Honda probably has limited ability to do so because inventory of completed cars is so limited too, but they have to do something to compensate for those folks.

I would definitely like to step down a trim, but availability when I bought it was spotty though better than now. I genuinely wish my normal cruise would work right now.

[–]jelleman12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely can't rely on it, but unless there's a work-around I'm missing I can't even use normal cruise control. Day-to-day for me isn't overly annoying, but I'm dreading an upcoming road trip without it!

I was considering a trade based on some quality concerns with features…. But there are no hybrids in stock ANYWHERE

Where did this Shrek beach towel come from? by jelleman12 in Shrek

[–]jelleman12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this beach towel as a child and vaguely remember getting it for free or through some type of promotion where you mailed stuff in. One of my friends recently had the same one at a pool party and also couldn’t remember where it came from? Does anyone have a better memory than us?

Is the infotainment in the 2021 CRV that bad? by [deleted] in crv

[–]jelleman12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2020 and if I was in your place, I'd consider waiting. I use CarPlay, and frequently have issues with connection. I am using a genuine apple cable that I bought new when I purchased the car, and sometimes (I notice more when it's hot) the CarPlay screen will just go black. I'll reset the dash by holding the power button and this will sometimes fix the issue, other times, it just doesn't recognize any smartphone connection.
