I think the cookies I have just say Biscoff - so whatever the traditional flavor is.

Best way to get replacement electronic key for an old Lexus? Dad is in NY, hoping to sell his 2003 convertible… only has one key. He seems hesitant to use the dealer, but it may be his only option.
Can you find what you need on here? https://www.carandtruckremotes.com/
Last year, I misplaced my keys (12 year old sonata) and hated to go through a dealer. I used this place for the parts (key and fob). Everything was shipped timely.
I had to go to a locksmith who could program it, and I think he charged $50. But all together I want to say it was <$100 which was a lot less than the $200+ the dealer would have charged. Everything worked great. I found my original set a month or so later. I now use my old key, but I like the new fob better and use that.

Saw this company doing a special event at our Costco. Per Reddit users, it is quite legit.

Not all car keys can be self-programmed apparently.

I recently set up an online account that requires two factor authentication. I chose text messaging, but a second method was also recommended as a back up. Can anyone explain how a computer security key works?
Is this what you mean?

Yes, thank you.
I’ve never used one like that. I have a device from Schwab that generates a random number I have to type in, and an app from Fidelity that generates a random number, all my other 2FA use email or text messages.

Yes, I have face ID plus I have to enter random number sent by email or to my phone. I’ve put extra security on my t-mobile phone so if I want to swap my sim card, I have to go to a store with my ID.

Not a question but a random rant.
We replaced our garage refrigerator last year. The old one lasted 33 years and we were sad to see it go. We bought a Whirlpool basic fridge with no ice maker/freezer on the top. The freezer for some odd reason I can’t figure out beyond it’s cheap has no light in it. Tonight I went out to get something and I was reminded once again how stupid the design is. Anyone else have this issue?
My built in Kitchen Aid in my kitchen is same age and does have a light and of course was many more $$$.
No idea, but I’m a little surprised that top of the line Speed Queen washer doesn’t have a light in the drum! The Miele we had before had that feature, and I miss it.
Ha, guessing I might know where you now keep the emergency flashlight at your house.

lol. 
They make these magnetic flashlights that can be put on the fridge, like a magnet!

Any recommendations for comfortable, powerful, yet affordable noise blocking headphones to use against construction noise? My earplugs aren’t much help and I want to keep my sanity (and let windows be open).
I know not the cheapest but AirPod Pros are absolutely worth the hype IMO, but the Anker ones are supposed to be pretty good.

I use Bose QuietComfort noise cancellation headphones when I fly. They are very effective.

I had been looking for new ones for travel as my Bose just weren’t as comfortable as I wanted for a long haul. Settled on these…I love them! Both wired (which I wanted) and Bluetooth - they’re super comfortable and didn’t break the bank. JBL is know for speakers… JBL Tune 660NC: Wireless On-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation - Blue, Medium https://a.co/d/jd7ajgS

I’ve found that nothing blocks the noise like the ‘ear muffs’ made for construction workers. My partner has a few and I use them when I run my smoothie blender every morning and when there is home repair work being done.
Also have regular noise cancelling headphones that link to my phone but these construction ones are the best (not stylish but fine if you are at home!)
I have the 3M brand.

I think you should consider the Apple second-generation Airpod Pro wireless earbuds.
From the article:
”If you didn’t hear the big news at Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event on Monday, well, the company has plans to help with that. Imminent upgrades to Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro wireless earbuds will soon outfit the ubiquitous headphones with hearing aid features, further disrupting a market well in the throes of a disruption already.
Functionally, Apple is taking the same approach as many low-cost, over-the-counter hearing aidmanufacturers by providing a product that does double duty as both Bluetooth earbuds and a hearing aid. The catch is that it isn’t introducing a new product but rather adding hearing aid technology to an existing headphone product—a novel approach to the category./”
The hearing aid feature sounds great to me.

I have those too and find them very comfortable. They work great over my AirPods if I want to listen to something. For long flights I prefer the large Sony or Bose.
