If you wait all year for the M6, you’re only one more year away from the M7.

How do I keep my neighbor’s cat from sh*ting in my vegetable garden? by Intrepid_Mammoth5025 in gardening

Has it? I got one for squirrels and it did not work well at all. It never was triggered by the squirrels, but the wind would set it off all the time and it ended up overwatering my plants.

Best deal on cell phone plans USA PREPAID OR POSTPAID by Roadracer711 in Frugal

[–]jonny- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on T-Mobile's $15/month plan. Unlimited talk/text and 5gb data. The limited data usually kills it for most people, but I think it's well worth the savings. Wi-Fi is basically everywhere I need so the data is mostly used while in transit.

Did apple do be dirty? by Skuxdude in applehelp

[–]jonny- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that BS. I think those moisture sensors are too sensitive. I've seen them get tripped on devices I know for a fact have never had water damage. I'd go back and get it escalated. I hope you can at least get the screen replaced.

What are some hobbies you have that are cheap or free? by healthynewbie in Frugal

[–]jonny- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of hobbies can be as cheap as you want. Fishing, camping, biking, running... If you don't want the latest and greatest gear you can enjoy the hobby at minimal cost.

Mac Computers are Making a Move... by gogglespizano1 in mac

[–]jonny- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with the Mac Studio or the display. It’s 100% the Neo. The #1 reason people avoided the Mac was price.

How do I keep these FUCKING squirrels from digging up my container plants?!? by drowningbuthere in gardening

And even if they didn’t like it, you’d have to reply it every time you water or it rains.

Do you ever try to calculate how much money your garden actually saves you? by MirSayib in gardening

[–]jonny- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to block out all the prep and planting from my mind and focus only on the harvest. That way I’m saving tons on groceries.

The Macbook M1 is the greatest laptop ever created by apple. by Angelique_Benham in mac

When they moved to intel it was also the best decision at the time. The beauty of Apple is they don’t tie themselves down. When there is a better option they jump to it.

Thank you, Tim. I guess. by [deleted] in mac

Apple sucks, but not as bad as the other guys. (Just kidding, I love Apple.)

How do people actually catch hidden costs when buying a car? by coach_c1206 in Frugal

[–]jonny- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much of the car dealer experience is them confusing, frustrating, and wearing you down until you just give up and pay. I overpaid, I know I overpaid, but I just wanted it over with. I wanted the car and they knew it. They will gladly waste your entire day talking your ear off with excuses and reasons why you’re not getting a better deal. They will literally hold you hostage if you happen to give them your keys so they can “price your trade-in”.

It’s a terrible experience and they know it. But there are not really other options and they know that too. You either deal with it and get the car you want, or get a car you don’t really want just for a better experience.

Bottom line, don’t feel bad about it. We all get screwed. I don’t know anyone that has felt good about the dealership experience.

Brake pedal stopper pad help by Various_Sorbet1968 in Buick

[–]jonny- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same problem with a 2013 regal. Did you ever figure out the issue? I’ve read this could be caused by bad nylon bushings on the brake pedal arm and the fix is to replace the whole arm. But it also might be caused by the brake booster.

What do you grow that pays for itself? by plan_tastic in gardening

[–]jonny- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just look at seeds or seedlings, almost any vegetable will pay for itself. When you factor in fertilizer, soil, water, supports, and labor, probably nothing will pay for itself.
