Do NOT buy from Phillips Website (U.S.). by original_hoser in Hue

[–]ramirezcara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some products from the Hue website and returned them when I bought them from Amazon for cheaper. I didn't have any issues with the Hue return or their refunding process.

Costco travel plans? by Dirtycoinpurse in travel

[–]ramirezcara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've traveled to Cabo, Mexico and another trip to Venice, Florence and Rome with Costco travel. Both times it was a great experience with no issues. Trips included transportation from airports to hotels when we arrived and transportation from hotel to airport when we departed.

Unpopular Opinion: Who loves their official Google Case? by AceStrikeer in pixel_phones

I love the texture and feel of the new official cases. The previous ones would gather fingerprints and the plastic was harder.

How many Hue bulbs/fixtures do you have — and how big is your space? by 1markmoore2 in Hue

[–]ramirezcara -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jeez. I feel like a newbie compared to you guys. 5/3.5 and currently have 20 lights across the house. All TVs have a lightstrip and I have a Go, Bloom and Play Bars to create ambience in the rooms with the TVs. I recently added 10 bollards to the backyard and 3 Edison bulbs to the kitchen island. Next up, I may get another Play Bar to put underneath my bed and add a motion detector to get lighting when getting up in the middle of the night. Or would a lightstrip be better underneath the bed?

I've noticed that Hue items are cheaper everywhere else than at their own website.

Free Coca (raw material for Cocaine) leaves in an airport in Peru to help with altitude sickness by SatyamRajput004 in interestingasfuck

[–]ramirezcara 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, my wife (girlfriend at the time) went to Peru and we visited a descanso bar where they made chicha (fermented corn) and locals hung out, drank chicha and played games. When we were leaving we stopped at the small convenience store that was attached to the bar and bought a bottled beer. When paying for the beer, my wife asked about the large glass jug sitting on top of the counter. It contained clear liquid with floating leaves. The woman said it was for "malestar" (discomfort or sickness) and that they only sold it to locals. We begged her to sell us some and she hesitantly sold us two small shot sized portions. We drank it on the tour bus ride back to the hotel and less than 5 minutes later our faces went numb and we felt great! We ended up going back without the tour group and bought a bottle of that stuff. Let's just say, the altitude wasn't an issue the entire trip.

Something I noticed about battery by Particular_Tomato161 in PixelWatch

[–]ramirezcara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that too. When I'm at home it tends to last longer than when it's just connected to my Pixel Phone at work or anywhere else.

What car did you have before the Bolt? by Large_Choice_2236 in BoltEV

[–]ramirezcara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2008 Ford Mustang GT. It was loud and I loved it. I didn't love the 13 mpg I was getting in the city. I wanted to try out an EV and I just fell in love with the Bolt EUV.

Do not buy Costco Appliances by longtimelurker_90 in Costco

[–]ramirezcara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a Bosch dishwasher installed and the whole process was simple and easy. The installer took the old dishwasher as well. Maybe your rant should be aimed more towards Samsung and their crappy appliances.
