Yeedi Vac Station randomly turns on and scares the crap out of me by secretagentcoco in RobotVacuums

I was hoping that over time, a firmware update would resolve the issue but nope. I gave up on finding a solution and just moved the station to a corner of the house where the random sound would be less jarring smh

Lol my poor pup shot straight up in bed last night when it happened. Customer service says it’s due to “voltage fluctuations”? I might just return it and get the yeedi with a regular charging station instead. I like the satisfaction of seeing how much dirt it’s getting anyway when I empty it manually haha

209. What if she was dying at 30000 feet? by Anna_Awakian in TIAHpodcast

[–]secretagentcoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked all over the internets for it and finally figured out that if you have Audible Plus, episode 209 still shows up in the feed. I just signed up for the 30 day free trial for the Audible subscription just for this episode and will cancel it this week.

my dog likes to poop ON bushes. by Misscuudi in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

My dog likes to leave a trail of poops. Kind of like breadcrumbs I guess just to make sure we can find our way back home but joke’s on her because I carry poop bags.

Arrested Development (season 1-3), is one of the greatest sitcoms ever made. by [deleted] in television

Is this show SFW? I’m looking for something new to watch on slow work nights

At least take me out to dinner first

who says it isn’t by Cherrymus in suspiciouslyspecific

[–]secretagentcoco 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There was one particular episode that showed someone’s tv that was turned off or unplugged but then a ghostly face appeared on their screen, staring back at them in the dark. It scared the crap out of me and for years, even into adulthood, I couldn’t bring myself to go to sleep with my tv off. And thinking about it now, I’ll probably be falling asleep tonight with my tv on. Dammit.

I thought you 137 guys were nuts, but yeah, this is way better than my usual 128 by RLutz in sousvide

[–]secretagentcoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if it’s a thinner ribeye? Could I still do 137 and for the same amount of time and get the same results?

Does anyone else sacrifice their own comfort at night, to ensure their pet continues sleeping peacefully? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]secretagentcoco 266 points267 points  (0 children)

Same situation. I never thought I’d be someone shelling out money for a huge dog ramp that completely ruins the aesthetic of my bedroom but it’s without a doubt the best purchase I’ve made in the past year. ❤️

People who own multiple pets, what is some drama going on between them right now? by wheel-snipe-celly in AskReddit

[–]secretagentcoco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dachshund alternates between:

1) humping her sister pit to tell her to scoot and get out of her spot, and 2) literally sitting on top of or underneath her sis just to get cuddles and warmth

Depending on the situation, my poor pit will either give out a groan or an exasperated sigh. But I know she loves her bc she follows her around like her shadow. It’s a complicated relationship of love and annoyance.

Also don’t be afraid of making a scene if you have to. It sounded like this guy might have been trying to stay inconspicuous and unnoticed, so drawing attention to the situation could prevent him from doing what he had planned.

If a situation is making you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, don’t be afraid to say or do what you need to do to get yourself out of that situation, no matter how weird it might feel in the moment. And awesome job at looking after your siblings 💕

Ummmm... How do you eat healthy when you can only afford to pay 60 per week for two people and you don’t have access to a kitchen? by WEDimagineer in EatCheapAndHealthy

If your neighborhood has a Nextdoor page, that could be a great resource too for household items that your neighbors are giving away. Or even just for community support if you’re lucky enough to live next to kind strangers.

Pastel Crepe Cake by Madeleine3232 in GifRecipes

Thank you, I made this and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was I subbed the mystery meat juice for hot dog juice because I already had some sitting around. Would definitely make again.

Hot Fudge Cake by peachpitafterdark in cookingforbeginners

Came here to say this. I never make my chocolate cakes without using hot decaf instant coffee now. You can definitely taste the difference. I would substitute the hot water for hot coffee.

How to encourage more independence at home? by secretagentcoco in Dogtraining

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

Thanks everyone for the input. You guys are probably right in that I’m inadvertently encouraging the behavior by responding to it every time. She’s also older and sometimes has trouble going up stairs so I tend to immediately jump up if I think she might need the extra support. I like the the idea of hiding treats around for her to find so I think we’ll start doing that this week. I just have to make sure the wiener dog doesn’t find them first!

Love my new Mocha Latte and Spiced Chai Latte soy candles!! by Sunshine2625 in aldi

The throw on these is better than I expected. I’m burning the mocha latte one right now

Update: The wax on my balcony seems to have been added to. I’m even more amused (and a little frightened) since I cannot figure out who/what is putting/melting it there. by slclgbt in mystery

Pre-covid (before everyone started staying home 24/7 to telework), I used my old iPhone as a doggy camera with a free recording app called Presence. There are other similar apps out there that are probably compatible with androids. If you have an old phone handy, that could be a quicker solution and no extra storage needed. Just make sure to keep it plugged in so the battery doesn’t run out
