Re: Where did we go wrong? - 2 days ago
When my son turned 12 was the summer my son and his cousin watched Dude Where's My Car at least 50 times. He turned out okay and at 30 can probably still quote parts of the movie verbatim.by Markintosh - Tips and Deals

Re: M1 MacBook Air and Zoom: bad sound - 5 days ago
My wife and I have identical M1 MBAs with 512SSD. She teaches Zoom lessons to her kindergarten kids all day everyday without an issue. I've done multiple Zoom calls with family without issues. Neither of us have done any changes or tweaks to Zoom settings... So no, have not had the issue at all.by Markintosh - Tips and Deals
Re: 95 yo MIL needs a new printer - 7 days ago
I think the biggest question here is what does she want to print? The only thing my elderly parents print is photos that are sent to them. In their case, a laser would not be a good choice. There's also the question of how much she does print. Some inkjets clog if they are not used on a regular basis. Nobody else on this forum is a fan of the HP Instant Ink subscription model, but it suby Markintosh - Tips and Deals

Re: Best practices for cold weather bicycling? - 7 days ago
One thing I have found is that motorists are much more unprepared for seeing bicycles during the "off season". That means they get more sloppy about edging into bike lanes, not yielding to bikes when they make a right turn, opening car doors into a bike lane etc. So always maximize your lighting, even during the day and consider a day glo vest. The second thing I find is that there iby Markintosh - Tips and Deals
Re: Turns out, "shiplap" doesn't mean overlapping boards - 8 days ago
Quotedeckeda Apparently, trendy "shiplap" walls today just mean boards spaced apart with a small gap. I will never create a wall with actual gaps in it. MADNESS. (I mean, it's fine if you're covering up drywall.) That is all.by Markintosh - Tips and Deals

Re: Recommendation for an electric kettle? - 12 days ago
Whichever you buy, make sure the lid is very secure. About 10 years ago, I had one in my classroom. I was making tea in a paper type cup. As I was holding the cup and pouring hot water, the lid released and poured boiling water over my entire hand. Serious second degree burns cause blistering of nearly my whole hand. I have not used any electric kettle since then, nor not much of a fan of papeby Markintosh - Tips and Deals

Re: Why are they still voting on this resolution? - 14 days ago
Why not talk about...which members of congress were giving tours to "protestors"? How did rioters get maps to the building? What should they do with Lauren Boebert? Which members of the CP are insiders? And of course just getting on with impeachment and bringing the Senate back early.by Markintosh - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Re: Best earbuds for my iPh12PM - 14 days ago
I saw that. I'm just saying that even without the headset, I think the AirPods do a very respectable job of picking up conversation, without holding the phone to your face. Quite remarkable actually. The first time I just answered a call while working outside, my wife asked why the sound was so clear. I don't normally use the Pods while skiing, but the few days I have, I can easily carry on aby Markintosh - Tips and Deals

Re: would some please run a carfax for me? is there a better way to make this request? - 15 days ago
Jumping back in here... Indeed, the CarFax days of some people having unlimited reports are over, unless you are a subscribed dealer. So asking anyone to run a freebie for you is not going to work. When I purchased an older Tacoma a little over a year ago, I ponied up about $50 for three reports for my top contenders, as I was shopping mostly via Craigslist. Still I should have had the trucby Markintosh - Tips and Deals
