Re: Sapporo products sold in the U.S. are brewed in the U.S., Canada and Vietnam. - 12 days ago

Years ago, I learned that the Molson brewery in Canada made Kirin or Asahi, can’t remember which. It’s Canadian origin allowed it to claim it was imported. I’m guessing that bud (American one) gets made in uk for that market. I can tell that that sure sell the American origins in their uk ads or did at one time.

OT: pill pack for seniors for "free" - 5 weeks ago

Hi there I wanted to pass on this tip for seniors (or anyone) who has problem with remembering to take prescription med. My parent's prescriptions (two different ones, twice a day) used to be in the usual brown bottles and it was a daily battle, with they claiming they had taken the pills when they hadn't. Our CVS packages them in a roll with the time printed (morning and evening) on the in

Re: [OT] Coordinating a rental lease with buying a home - 8 weeks ago

It sounds like you have not mentioned the house hunting to your landlord. Depending on your relationship with them , I would talk to them about it. It is a pain in the butt finding, advertising, screening and getting new tenants. Most landlords may or may not cut you a deal. But prepare for them to play hardball especially if you give notice a month or two after signing the lease. My two cents.

Re: Lithium battery shelf life question - 2 months ago

Good question. My uneducated guess is that because a 9v is made up of multiple cells (vs single cell for aa) that the shorter life span is just factoring in increased likelihood of an individual cell failing. Also the much smaller size of the cells increases the chance of failure. My two cents.

Re: replacing outlets with integrated usb - 2 months ago

Quotesekker I think OWC sells some. Instead, consider putting a quality power strip with built in USB. USB-A are pretty useful even with USB-C coming online. I’ve been using this Ikea power strip for years for on the go needs. The usb output is 1 amp so not a speedy one but the ac cord is 10 feet long which really helps to avoid searching for extension cords.

Re: Paid Traffic ticket now have 1 ticket on insurance and it went up 50% - 2 months ago

In my experience, many years ago, with traffic school in Calif, I recommend sending a new driver to school in person, rather than online. It will be inconvenient, but forcing her to sit down in and be taught, I think will be instructive. She will probably hear stories about how everyone ended up in the class. As to how to get her into traffic school, i’m Not sure except that some kind of rehear
