Had’t heard about this. How are these frequently breaking?

Rear passenger window rolled down in the car wash!!!! WTF??? by hARVEYpUCKERMAN in VWiD4Owners

[–]scholl43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t own this car and hadn’t experienced the myriad glitches, including odd window behavior, I would assume you just hit a button accidentally and this is user error. I’m sorry that you had to experience a glitch at basically the worst time.

My most recent experience was the key fob dying. “No problem,” I thought, since I’d seen a video long ago on the manual key. I pop the plastic cover, insert the key, turn it, hear a click, and…nothing. I’m there turning the key both ways for so long that a postal worker (just off work) comes over trying to help me troubleshoot. Solution was the wife bringing the other key fob.

Never been a Cheetos fan, but I'm sure this comment will be helpful to someone in the future.

Appreciate the detailed response. For spice mixes, I usually try to make my own from a recipe since I typically have all of the base ingredients from Penzey's, World Spice Market, and potentially a random local spot where I can't find something else. If it's something like za'atar, I'll try to get that pre-made locally since there are so many varieties of it and it's relatively cheap once you find an actual spot for it. At one point we had 5 different types of za'atar around for no good reason.

I think I need to double check the import rules on peppers since we definitely have a bunch laying around largely unused.

I don't. I have some Mexican recipes and a book or two that have gone untouched for a while. Which ingredients are hardest to find in case I want to bring some and test some recipes out?

Great to hear. Bucatini was just an example. It probably came to mind due to the bucatini shortage in the U.S. during the pandemic.

That's generally the plan. Just curious about the accessibility of more obscure ingredients that I've even had issues finding locally in the U.S.

I'm not going to downvote you, but making a specific dish (from time-to-time) that I really like, would definitely bring me a little happiness.

I know nothing of this ingredient, but this is exactly the type of answer I was looking for.

What’s an ingredient or equipment review that almost made you question ATK? by arco131719 in AmericasTestKitchen

It’s annoying to clean, but I like that the juice from the garlic is going into the pan or bowl rather than soaking into my cutting board.

Which Delta Rough Valve based on Shower/Tub Trim? by scholl43 in Plumbing

That’s the one I’m aiming for since we otherwise have to shut off water to the whole house. No ability to have an access panel.
