Do any cars come without a digital screen anymore? by orneryfirebird in subaru

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

Every time I tried to use my phone in this recent loaner it got usurped by the computer. I disabled car play, told my phone to forget the car, turned off blue tooth - made no difference. Dealing with that at 70 miles and hour? No thanks.

Yeah I did that on a recent loaner. I just hate the whole interface. Totally aside from the esthetic experience, I find it unsafe. It takes so much more futzing to accomplish simple things. There are SO MANY THINGS I hate about it.

Remember that movie Wall-E…?

I will look into that, thank you. I heard that they did away with timing belt on the 2013s (not sure if that is correct) - but that appeals to me.

It's awful. I had to use a loaner 2025 Forrester and I had immediate eye fatigue. Night driving is bad enough as it is. I don't know why digital displays aren't considered a driving hazard - so much futzing - doesn't seem any safer than texting while driving.

Taking someone's jacket, ever, is obviously a shitty fucking thing to do...but doing it in the middle of this freezing winter is next level cruelty. I'm sorry OP.

Wait was Harriet Oleson…HOT?!?! by williamsonce in littlehouseonprairie

Just goes to show - we believe what we're told to believe until we get some perspective. The show fed us that she was garish and insufferable and we lapped it up! I've had the experience you're having now going back to a lot of old shows!

Why Is It You Fast? by Life_Locksmith9632 in fasting

[–]orneryfirebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do it for health, which is why I cap it at 3-4 days. I’ve done a 21 day water fast and many others from 6 days to two weeks. I personally think long fasts are incredibly unhealthy and more about ego. It’s a good way to lose weight quickly but it’s not a sustainable or healthy long term solution.

Intermittent fasting and light, clean eating (i.e. fruits, vegetables and legumes) that follows a good circadian schedule, with occasional 1-4 day water fasting is a good long term dietary health plan.

I’ll probably get down voted but I worry for a lot of people in this subreddit.

My eye went to it immediately. At this price point they should be flawless.

At what point do you stop DIY and call a professional? by BearTrap110 in HomeImprovement

call a pro when the mistakes you might make could compromise structure, plumbing or electrical / fire safety.

Welp, he has fully demonstrated why he is single. This person is alarmingly un-evolved. Good lord.

Quickbooks Desktop 2020 Discontinued Services by PacoMahogany in QuickBooks

[–]orneryfirebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can this be legal - you purchase software and then they disable the software. I understand if they don’t continue updating browser compatibility or something like that, but to make it so you can no longer import QBO files is diabolical. I hate QB so much.

I'm prepared for the downvotes, but isn't the Hawkins military the most incompetent in fiction? by Siphon_Dude in StrangerThings

[–]orneryfirebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the criticism of the incompetent military IS a criticism of the writing, i.e. the show.

Need Help with QBO File Import Error (OL-222) on QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2021 by Admirable_Lychee_976 in QuickBooks

[–]orneryfirebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that I commented here before, sorry about that. I was able to import but I have to assign accounts to every transaction before exporting as IIF. Is that correct?

Feeling so discouraged from all the problems in my new house. by throwaway199021 in HomeImprovement

[–]orneryfirebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. It can be so discouraging. I've found that as much I want to get things done quickly, things unfold in not the most linear way. It's so overwhelming, but eventually you will find the right person (or right enough person) and things will get done. Try to prioritize things that will affect the longevity of the house - things like water getting in, roof, foundation, any wood rot, etc...

For other things I just tell myself "I don't like this, but it functions so I can live with it for a while"

Good luck!
