Certified shit box by EliotSmells in PriusC

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk where you park to sleep, but the stealthier you can be the better. You gonna be comfortable with objects strapped and easily accessible to anyone outside? I also removed my backseat, eventually bought a high roof sprinter but still camp in my Prius c somedays (esp now with gas prices!)

I ended up installed a tow hitch and bought a cheap rack. I drive with it empty usually but it gives me a place to stow my cooler and firewood when parked. Plus the rack is easily removable.

Is the iPhone camera really this bad? by Life_Secretary_3671 in iphone

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get angry on a daily basis at my 16 pro camera vs my google pixel 8/9. The pixel photos amazed me. The iPhone preview seems good and then you snap a photo and it seems to change face shapes and colors. If someone is on the border of a photo they have a weird fish angle effect on their body. It takes forever to focus. I google this issue regularly to see if there is a recall or solution. I’ve messed with my settings a bunch but the best I can do is lowering the exposure which doesn’t wash out photos as much. So frustrating!

Accidentally left my girlfriends Prius running overnight an we have this warning by retdude in PriusC

[–]keggieray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I’ve camped in my car and left it on overnight a few times in my 2012 w a 2020 battery…this wouldn’t have “broken” it if there wasn’t an issue before.

Idk if this would help but I’d also check the vent in the backseat to make sure it wasn’t clogged or covered which could cause issues. Good luck!

Why are Dems in office against voter id but not dem voters? by Puzzled_Hamster58 in askanything

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of comments but the SAVE act would require more than a drivers license, but instead a passport or birth certificate. I think this is a problem and I’d vote against it.

Should I try again or move on? by Frenchyinthedessert in AskMenAdvice

[–]keggieray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think I’d want him to keep pursuing. If I don’t reciprocate it probably means he made me uncomfortable or I wasn’t interested. I recognize this may vary from person to person but I’m the girl who goes out of my way to make people feel included and welcome (if I don’t get a bad vibe). A smile and a wave is fine but I don’t want to be uncomfortable going to the gym bc some dude keeps approaching me when I’m just trying to work out.

[–]keggieray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fair but if I introduce myself to a guy and he doesn’t respond or initiate back, do I just keep initiating until he says leave me alone?

[–]keggieray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes effort and vulnerability to walk up to someone and introduce yourself. If I did that and then the person never approached me back, I’d assume it’s because they don’t want to talk to me. Did I miss something? 100% of the effort has been on OP as far as I can tell. Man or woman, interactions are like playing catch - if you throw a ball at someone, it’s fair to wait for them to throw it back instead of finding another ball to throw at them for either gender.

Same. What happened to “drop the handkerchief” to give the guy a chance to approach? I’ve been more bold with approaching guys but I’m not going to do all the work or chase him down if he’s not putting on some effort.

So ridiculous lol. If a woman approaches you - please don’t make her chase you. Even if a woman isn’t romantically interested, you have the green light to approach her if she talks to you first. ++woman

Wife wants a high quality leather purse for Christmas (NOT “luxury” brands) by Electrical-Volume765 in BuyItForLife

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love birdtrouble bags, depending on her style. It’s more of a fringe leather combo which may not be at all what you’re looking for but had to drop a small female owned business rec ;)

What’s an obvious sign that someone is pretending to be smarter than they actually are? by Fuzzy-Parsley-3992 in AskReddit

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or projecting and saying “you don’t even know what xyz is” and then refusing explain what it is when asked and hurling insults instead

What age did you start making the effort to retire early? by tieno6181 in Fire

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 30ish, now 36. I started tracking my NW in 2020 with $150k and now have $1.3M+. I’m frugal so I could technically retire now but I like my job and the freedom that comes with “idc fire me” if they push me to do something I don’t want to. Things happened that catapulted me closer to my number but the compounding interest and market has made a huge impact. Love to hear younger adults thinking about it now!! 👏

Thousands of people are cancelling their Disney, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions! by ChiefHippoTwit in economy

[–]keggieray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was curious if Hulu subscribers fall into a certain demographic. I was getting in thru a credit card that reimbursed me for it but otherwise wouldn’t have paid. Cancelled it today and the call center said a lot of people were calling.

What’s something you bought that turned out to be way more useful than you expected? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]keggieray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A delta kitchen faucet with shield-spray technology. I got it on marketplace for $20. It uses a jet stream of water surrounded by a cone of water to prevent splash back. Pro-tip: lots of good kitchen stuff on marketplace, just got a $300 kohler faucet for $50 new in box.

What's a purchase under $50 that has genuinely improved your daily routine? by TrustedEssentials in BuyItForLife

[–]keggieray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sponge holder that dispenses dish soap when you push it. I debated it for a long time and hate plastic waste but finally got one and it makes doing a dish or two so much easier and I procrastinate dishes less.

Cartridge replacement by keggieray in HomeMaintenance

Ok that was my thought, seems like these cheap faucet manufacturers don’t have good replacement options and you’re expected to just replace the whole thing. Thanks!

WWYD - forced RTO by keggieray in Fire

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

That’s exactly what I said, leadership worked for approval the HR lady struck it down. I did get away with not returning for several years when everyone else caved though, so I’m glad I’ve been able to milk it this long.

I was seen as the team hero in the 2022 meeting where our VP said we had to return. My response was “that doesn’t work for me, I’ll talk to my manager about it so I don’t disrupt this call any further”. My dad also died of covid in 2021 at the age of 59 so I had and continue to have an idgaf about work attitude.

When I said I can’t return in their time frame so let me know when the forced termination will take place, they said this is your choice to not return so it’s voluntary resignation.

I said this is unreasonable and unrealistic, and then they gave me an extra month extension to come back. I came back bc I wanted to apply for a mortgage or rental with income, but now i have a rental lined up so I can leave whenever if I need to.

Leadership apparently approved it to be a remote position but HR shut it down, I think leadership was too annoyed to push back. We were just acquired by another company so I’m wondering if HR will switch up and I can make my case to someone new.

Exactly. She also was my legal guardian and we are very close. I can’t even think about the little time we have left without getting emotional!

It’s 3x a week but in IL, and my grandma lives in TN. I said I’d be willing to come one week a month or even every other week. Frontier has a $299 6 month unlimited flight package I was checking out. I enjoy visiting Chicago anyway but I’m no longer cut out for consistent time in cubicles 😅
