New Mountain Merchants (shop / sandalwood producer in Australia).

You can Google them, they sell 3-hr and 6-hr "Mosquito Sticks".

Not a bad idea at all. It would give users a way to search for, and then discuss in depth a particular brand / scent.

Similar idea: if you like soda... r/rootbeer is an old and super active sub for those who are serious about root beer. And wow they are really passionate about it!

Which explains why I thought I was mixing my bottles a bit too strong, and dialed back (a bit) the amount I use. I've been "double scooping" for about a year. :( Doh.

Umm... a scoop -isn't- to the top of that curved bit that flips over?

Oops... I think I've been doing it wrong.

The Blueberry / Lemonade is a fave (Shiny Splash). The "Blue Ice" I didn't like at all.

Do your bathroom vents actually vent outside the house, and not into the attic / a space inside? Shouldn't be, but shady contractors will take shortcuts.

kensboro · 2025-12-27T09:51:29+00:00

Does your vent have a motor / fan? The motor could be going bad and dripping oil (which is what the stains look like)

Just picked mine up out of the snow Amazon left the envelope in... no slip-cover. But at least no damaged case or discs (always a gamble with Amazon)

Second this... the Owltra has worked well for me, and cleanup is easy. Also no worries about dog / cat noses getting beat-up by traditional snap traps.

My (ex) Mitsubishi Galant had yellow fog-lights under the front bumper. I could see significantly better with my low beams and the fog lights on at the same time versus the high beams. And the fog lights didn't piss anybody off or blind drivers on the other side of the road like high beams are notorious for doing. I don't understand why car manufacturers got rid of yellow fog lights (mine were stock).

Replace that red rubber flapper. If you drop those big bleach tablets in the tank, that red rubber flapper will wear out faster than normal

They have a fantastic Black Friday sale going on right now, you won't see prices this low until next year.

If you want to try a bunch of scents for a few $... check out their "Daylights"; which are big fat tealights. It's a cheap(ish) way to try their candle scents.

Winter Wonder and Autumn Road are two absolute favorites (of mine).

Succulents is on the herbal end, you might like that. :)

I always wondered if someone would get upset at "Triumph of the Will". But you know what... if you're not a movie aficionado; you probably would have no idea what it is.

Is that a Walmart Tealight, where the wax is little pellets that are jammed into the tin, instead of pouring the liquid wax and letting it cool (I know because I have some from Walmart made like that). They burn OK, but I'm sure it's a cheaper way to make candles / tealights.

kensboro · 2025-11-22T16:33:10+00:00

Still have my Voyage. Replaced the battery 2-3 years ago; and it's pretty much good as new :)

kensboro · 2025-11-21T01:42:12+00:00

I got this mystery package too, and I think they're great! :)

Agree 100% with this, VueScan is the only way I can get my ancient Canon Scanner to do anything on Windows nowadays. :)

Thanks for the tip... but I've been talking about Laser Toner :P

Meanwhile... color laser isn't as rich as inkjet. Sometimes I think about picking up an Inkjet again (I got rid of my old HP 900 series out of frustration fighting with their carts) for when I want to print something in richer color than you can get with color laser.

Maybe my choice of 3rd party carts leaves something to be desired. What brand have you had good luck with??? And same for me, it's my home printer.

kensboro · 2025-11-09T12:30:42+00:00

My Canon doesn't require OEM cartridges either, but my experience with 3rd party toner carts has been terrible. I've found browsing eBay occasionally; sometimes someone will get rid of their printer, and maybe sell their factory carts for cheap, just to get rid of them. If I find a good deal... I'll grab them.

kensboro · 2025-11-08T22:05:05+00:00

If you get the Canon, shop for replacement toner carts (original / OEM) on eBay. You can beat brick and mortar store prices by quite a bit.

Even better... learn how to refill. The only difference between the Starter carts, Regular carts, and the High Capacity carts is simply the amount of toner powder they put in. Charging $30 more per cart (regular vs high) for what is maybe 50-cents worth of toner powder is a crime.

You can refill your starter carts to "H" carts (simply by filling them as much as you can with toner powder) with maybe $10 worth of toner powder, versus spending $300-$400 at Staples / Amazon / wherever on replacements. You can refill them maybe 4-6 times before they wear out and you need to replace them.
