@mtnagel Have you tried running the machine (empty) with vinegar instead of detergent? Doing that regularly might help.

My neighbor cleans his washing machine by doing an empty load with bleach and something else… Maybe a load with vinegar? I’d never heard of cleaning a washing machine before.

I had to replace the mixing valve in my shower several times because of hard water. I’d remove the valve, soak it in vinegar and replace it. Moen even sent me another one so I had a demineralized one on hand. But it’s a tight connection and after I had to call the plumber (again) to do the exchange I got a water softener.

How’s the water softener? My wife askedf or one years ago, but I’m not sure we have the space for it, or how hard it is to maintain.

@mtnagel I use these once in a while and also sometimes use the powder I bought. Not sure they do much, but I think you’re supposed to use them every so often. I know the ones for the washing machine likely make a difference as we didn’t use it on our old one and the whole spider arm got destroyed.

@marvomatic said in Woot Shirts for $5.99! Discount will apply on the 'Place Order' screen at checkout | valid on shirt.woot only 6/27/24 - 6/30/24:

@midori I have about 30 shirts from them, I bought from time to time.
(Sounds like a movie Ive seen! Time To Time!)
I must have washed them, 10 times or more. They still look good.
I have not ordered any shirts for 6 months, did they change the shirt maker, to lessen the costs?

All my shirts are peeling too. I’m giving on up woot shirts, as much as I love the design.

I did hear something about them switching providers and something about refunds if you see the issue soon enough. The other shirts I have, the design doesn’t come off at all, even after many washes.

@dangeruss Que Sera, Sera! LOL

So my trial just expired today and I still got a few episodes of Dark Matter left. Tried renewing on my phone - no go. Worked great on the MacBook though. Another 2 free months!!! Thanks @Marvomatic

I pretty much stopped using Amex when they killed their extended warrant program. Ditto with Costco Visa. Only use Amex when there’s an amex offer now and only use costco card at costco.

@c3 said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

The current offer (which expires 5/19) started on 5/5. You will not get additional points if you already recycled during this period, even if the offer is still shown in your account.

Heads up, I think if you do the transactions back to back, you will get the $1k twice. Also my recycled count has not been updating and the recycling offer has not been disappearing from my account (at least until yesterday).

So weird, there was a 50 off $200 this week too, 67254, and 20% teacher appreciation and both were supposed to be good until may 11, but both of mine are showing expired.

@kimi said in Free a/IBOTTA (many stores) $3.49 fixed Colombe Single Serve Coffee Drink 9-11oz can:

I think this offer may have expired. I went to Safeway this AM and found 3 varieties of Colombe coffee. I opened Ibotta to see what varieties were eligible, and the offer was gone. (I know I activated it soon after this offer was posted.)

I think it was a one day offer, they sent me an email from LA Colombe that day

@pakle said in ACTIVATE OFFER! Staples - Earth week Recycle offer 2000 points = $10 - Starts from 4/21-4/27- Limit 1 per customer account:

I did tech recycling to get 1000 pts last week. Just recycled another cable and got the 2000 pts. Thanks Staples for the double dip this month!

Batteries work too, and you also get a $10 off $30.

@marvomatic said in Free Apple TV + for 2 months Code Expires on September 27 2024:

If you have a free 2 months of Apple TV +, you can’t extend it! I tried it! I will extend it, when the trial is over!

My 2 months just expired and then it gave me a 1 month offer. I guess when the 1 month expires I can use this.

@mrvietnam said in Sams Club Membership $14:

This is a good deal. Too bad for me though. I renewed a couple months ago when it was $25.

My brother said if you do this deal on My Points you can get the $14 back in points, making it free.

Well you can always go and refund the membership. They might ban you for a year though from buying another one.

@my4mainecoons said in 📣💲 Unveiling the GEL-Nimbus 26: A Leap Forward in Comfort and Sustainability 📣💲:

Usually when there’s a HD from Amazon the item is on sale. That’s why I was confused.

I only buy Asics as well but usually when they’re discontinued.

Sorry I’m trying to start posting ads and clearly marking them. I though the emoji’s might do it, but I guess it’s still confusing. Please let me know if you think there’s a better way.

@angryeyebrows said in 📣💲 Unveiling the GEL-Nimbus 26: A Leap Forward in Comfort and Sustainability 📣💲:

@my4mainecoons $160

I saw that but didn’t think that was a HD so wondered if I had to choose a specific color or size to get a better price.

Asics are the only brand I wear along with Saucony. If you guys can’t tell already this is an ad for their latest model, but usually you can get last years models for significant discounts.

Looking at the different styles I think some are as low as $100, but could be only certain sizes.

@hbg1 said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

@dangeruss
I don’t understand what they are doing at all, either. I posted earlier in this thread that the amount of ink recycling they were offering me changed from the original 10 for 100 points each to 15 for 400 points. And now they are offering me 30 for 400. I am not in the recycling game in general (maybe their motivation?) and only recycled some this month because I happened to run out of toner recently, and someone passed a few more on to me. I don’t have Plus. I used to shop at Staples a lot more, mostly clearance deals when they were real deals in the old days (luckily I didn’t give away all my free cases of paper and kept a few), but only shop occasionally now, mostly when I can stack coupons and tech recycling rewards to buy things like paper towels and toilet paper.

It would definitely be better if they were clear about the program and not offering so many different permutations to different people.

Maybe I need to stop recycling for a bit

@pakle Nothing required but the phone number/card.

That’s just great. It’s going to be rite aid all over again.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

The rhyme & reason most likely are related to how much you spent at Staples. If all one did was to recycle and spend the Rewards they lost money on that customer. This seems to be the year for merchants to decrease the value of their loyalty programs.

I have literally spent thousands of dollars on toner and only have the crappy 100 points per cartridge x 10. Meanwhile the 2 accounts that had Plus still have 400 points x 20 carts. If I knew earlier I would’ve signed up for plus for the rest of the accounts, but I think I was till getting my 20 carts due to spend.

What I want to know is how someone here has 400 point x 40 carts.

Also the tech recycling thing is back $5 for recycling (including ink carts) x 1.

Github is usually pretty safe and this doesn’t give me a bad vibe.

I just downloaded Windows 11 and need a classic Start menu.
Is there a way to go from a square with icons to a list with words within W11? I couldn’t find one in Start settings.
Is Open Shell safe to download?
Is there a better program to do it?

Looks OK, but also there were a bunch of virus repos recently, so who knows.
