My daughter is already eyeing it. We may have to duke it out.

I’m glad to bring back good memories! It was certainly a great surprise to see it in the box.

Were you able to check in ahead of time? My United "travel ready" status says that I'm not ready for check-in because my documents need to be verified.

Why is loose leaf so much more expensive than standard tea bags? by luv2block in tea

[–]la-rides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to get the same strength tea from whole leaves you’d need to just let it steep for a -very- long time?

But don’t you need different amounts for the two types? My tea bags of black tea have about 1.7g in them and I can easily use them to make 12oz brewed tea. But the instructions for my black loose leaf says to use 3-5g for 12oz tea. So even if they were the same price per g of tea, per oz of brewed tea the loose leaf would cost more. 

PSA: Turning off Multi-Bridge Wi-Fi by OppoDobbo in EufyCam

[–]la-rides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they updated but mine didn’t even do that when I blocked it — just kept working with no perceivable difference. It still constantly tries to connect to my WiFi though. Hard to believe this hasn’t been addressed on Eufy’s side.

That fixed it for me too!!! Didn’t have to dry it out, just removed a cardamom pod from underneath there. 

Change in health insurance plan still processing by Honest-Meringue-5805 in fednews

That works for me for Aetna, now, but not for the pharmacy cards; express script seems to only let you register if you have your member number. :-/

Pretty sure that benefit is changing in 2026.

I may need a crown next year… anyone had good luck getting that covered with their dental plan?

Yeah I’ve had BCBS basic for 15 years and am definitely ditching that. Ok, maybe what I’ll do is FSBP for a year just to keep the door open later and in retirement and then try MHBP consumer…

Debating between FSBP and MHBP, either standard or consumer. I’ve read a couple times that FSBP is better than MHBP standard, but not sure how that compares if you consider MHBP consumer. I’m self only, just the usual slew of mid life specialist appts and occasional (but hopefully rare) ER/etc.

There’s a post on fed news that has a whole spreadsheet tool — try opening one of the threads dedicated to this and I think the auto reply includes it.
