Re: Apple One Premier (1 month) New $37.95 — Old $32.95 Starting December 29, 2023 - Yesterday
It's getting harder to justify it. But we like most of the parts so I guess I'll keep paying. And paying. And paying.by Michael - Tips and Deals
Re: AirTag Question and how they work - Yesterday
QuoteGareth QuoteRAMd®d If the 4pk was recently purchased, that would be an unusually short battery life, and you should have received a low battery notification. Yup, so far, mine seem to be living up to the 12 month battery life as they are all starting to give me low battery notifications. I bought mine in June 2022.

Re: Looking for a small camera with some zoom - Yesterday
I have a Canon PowerShot SX40 HS that has the equivalent of a 840mm zoom. I got it for about $200 from Target when they replaced it with the next one--SX50, perhaps? It's been a great camera but I've wanted to get something smaller with an equivalent zoom. But, I just don't want to pay the $500 that it will likely cost.by Michael - Tips and Deals

Re: [T]he most pro-life president ever” is now claiming to be a pro choice moderate... - Yesterday
He doesn't have any core beliefs (except whatever benefits him). He came out as pro-life to get the nomination. Back in 1999 he said he was, "...pro-choice in every respect." He's just reflecting the change in Republicans where most are now pro-choice to some degree. I think that a lot of politicians do exactly the same thing.by Michael - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Re: Need Recommendation for Battery for G Daughters 2014 RAV4 - 2 days ago
Quotemacphanatic Batteries don't last the way they used to. Honda batteries in new cars are notorious for dying at the 3-3.5 year mark. Yep. A friend's 2019 CRV just didn't start one day a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately he figured it was a bigger problem because all sorts of lights went on when he jumped it. So he took it to Honda and they happily replaced the battery for lots of cash. I'mby Michael - Tips and Deals
Re: Amazon DIY "price match" - (buying twice and returning once to capture price difference) - 4 days ago
My brother bought a Frame TV last week from Amazon and it was selling today for $150 less from a different seller. He chatted about getting the price difference and the bot said no, but kicked him up to a person. They said no but kicked him up again. When all was said and done he chatted with 5 people who all said no. The last one he asked to help arrange a return of the first Frame TV with a picby Michael - Tips and Deals

Re: Well, I finally did it (paid more for TV package). It was an odd experience. - 6 days ago
I have considered going back to our local, utility-provided cable to get the Braves for my wife and change levels around baseball. But they don't have an easy way to change levels-you gotta call. And I just refuse to talk to people to change things anymore. The most I'll do is have a chat with SiriusXM once a year to keep the $72/year subscription.by Michael - Tips and Deals

Re: I need creative fastening ideas please. - 8 days ago
I agree with sewing. But before I went to the trouble of taking to a repair shop, I'd spend $6 and buy some thread and needles for leather and spend 20 min carefully going in and out of the holes that are already there. It would be easy to make it look crummy but also easy to spend the time to follow the holes and make it an essentially invisible repair.by Michael - Tips and Deals

Re: You, and your spouse if married or partner if cohabitating, must attend a 120-minute Club Wyndham timeshare sales presentation. - 8 days ago
We used to do these pretty regularly. The most interesting last gasp attempt at one was to try to shame us into buying by telling us, "Well, it doesn't look like you can afford this, anyway." My response was, "Nope, we can't!" and then we left and enjoyed the rest of our time. The oddest one we ever went to was at a small lake near us and it turns out they were trying to seby Michael - Tips and Deals

Re: What kind of turkey will you buy? - 13 days ago
Costco fresh. We looked at them on Monday and noted that they expired on Thanksgiving day. There were people just picking them up and putting them in their baskets. I assume they'll be ok if cooked by the expiration date but we're going to wait and pick one up next Monday. If by chance they are out we'll do a frozen Butterball from the local grocery store.by Michael - Tips and Deals
