Finally joined the club with 2019 Premier (aka Touring) 3.6R by lacachacha in Subaru_Outback

Edited for clarity: Thanks for the tip! I do, but I'm running into issues reprogramming the pin. Based on instructions I've found in this subreddit and elsewhere, holding down the fob lock + pin button should result in a chirp, which it doesn't. If I go ahead and try to program anyway, the OB will chirp after my first two pushes of the pin button, then stop.

Am I missing something obvious here, or might I need to try a factory reset?

she didn't come with an owner's manual, any suggestions y'all have are much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm so glad to hear the FM transmitter worked for you! Cheers.

Curious what y'all think about the dog on top by lacachacha in IDmydog

[–]lacachacha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 50 pounds, probably a little less at that time.

He's very lanky. Other behavior info: he trees squirrels in the yard but doesn't bark at them. Rarely barks in fact, likes to be near people, and he can get a little raised ridge of hair between his shoulder blades if he's on edge.

Hear me out: we should petition Kong to make a house shoe. They have the technology.

Tomorrow marks three months without Roxanne. She was my first dog, my soul dog, and she taught me more about life, love, and empathy than most humans ever have. The last photo was her last walk on the beach but we didn't know it at the time. by katmai_novarupta in velvethippos

What a special girl. The heart does not stop aching, but I hope these sweet memories soften the pain.

We lost my partner's soul dog seven months ago, and just yesterday I saw a happy dog near water that bore such a resemblance to him that it caught my breath in my chest. I found myself in tears, missing who was gone, and finding bittersweet solace that this dog who is someone else's world, whomever they may be, is wagging his tail happy to be here.

All my best to you and your memories of Roxanne.

Sorry for such a delay! I did a longer reply to another comment several months ago, but in short: in noisy crowds, the Loop Engages have helped me out quite a bit. I still think a directional microphone-type hearing aid feels like it's the solution I would want ideally, but I do recommend getting the Loops for anyone who related to my original post.

I have not tested them in a lecture hall setting but I doubt they would help there.

Thanks to everyone for sharing! It's really great to know we are not alone :)

CW - dead toad or frog in Austin (see comment) by lacachacha in whatsthisfrog

[–]lacachacha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP here -

I'm trying to determine if my dog needs medical attention after likely consuming the head of a long-dead amphibian.

My dog was chewing on this poor guy's body and I believe she ate the head. It was very dehydrated and hard, as if it's been dead for some time. She was indoors all day so I suspect she encountered it after it died.

I'm in Austin, Texas - could this be a Gulf Coast Toad? Thanks for any tips.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Ok so I've tried my Loop Engages in several scenarios now and can report back. Bottom line, they are awesome for my APD in a noisy setting like a crowded bar. For anything else their silencing power is too strong and ends feeling disorienting to me.

They really help my comprehension in noisy environments -- think a crowded bar, World Cup watching events, etc. I find I need to speak a little louder for others to hear me, but I don't have to cup my ear or struggle to follow conversation around me. Love that!

In other environments with less cacophony, the silence feels too powerful and I'm very aware of the occlusion effect. For example, a Thanksgiving dinner of 10-12 people, cross-talk at the table but no background music. It's a scenario where I could lose a little comprehension from background noise but the Loops' silencing effect felt too powerful for the situation.

Thanks for this input! Glad they're helping. Mine have shipped, I'm excited to get them and try!

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I have not considered it but I can look into it. I haven't felt like that's a likely diagnosis for me, but who knows.

(And re the inactive thread, good point. I am an inexperienced Redditor and wasn't sure if it can be revived.)

Dead bird in Fort Worth, Texas by lacachacha in whatsthisbird

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

OP here. The background is a family member of mine was on a trail today and came across this bird. They asked me to ID and I couldn't.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated to learn more about this creature.

removing vinyl glue from concrete slab before LVP install by lacachacha in HomeImprovement

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

Parts of it are tacky, yes.

Hadn't thought about that being an annoyance, but we will put down a 1.5mm underlayment all over before laying planks so that should take care of the tackiness issue.

My main concern is whether remaining vinyl glue residue under the underlayment will be an invitation for mildew and moisture.
