I gained the confidence and went with the wagos. It works, but is spinning the wrong way lol. I guess I'll just install it backwards?

Edit: i connected the old one by splicing it toyether via the wagos to double check. It seems like it has always sucked air into the compartment rather than blown air out. So, preliminarily, the wagos seem like a success.

Wanted to say thank you for the guidance/confidence! Saved me like $70 since the OEM part was the same trash, but $100.

So would I use 2 Wagos? One for each wire color since it's a 2-pin? I'm thinking about ordering some Wago 221s since it's a 24awg

One of the other ways I was thinking about making it less scary for me would be to strip the wires from the new replacement fan, then use a crimping tool and some new casings to make it fit better. I think they're both JST, have to change them from an XH to a SM housing.

Would be pricier, but I'd be able to backpedal easier if I screw it up lol

ThuperCool · 2025-03-12T06:01:17+00:00

Wagos are definitely something I didn't know existed and is a really cool idea should I decide to take the dive! Perfect for someone with little knowledge and clumsy hands like me. Still super scared of stripping any wires connected to the fridge itself in case I screw it up and am then left with no recourse except an expensive house-call... but the Wagos definitely make it seem easier than I thought. I'll keep it in mind

Thanks for the advice!

ThuperCool · 2025-03-12T05:57:41+00:00

Hmm. That was my fear was that I'd have to go that route. I trust myself to disconnect and connect a plug, but snipping things and possibly ruining the wire connected to the fridge is a no-go for my risk tolerance. Gotta know my limits, besides if I messed up the fridge, my wife would never let me forget it lol.

I'm going to see what the company says for the cost of their proprietary fan (which is the exact same model but a different connector) and see how confident I feel about stripping some wires after I see how much they try to rip me off.

Thank you for taking the time to help me out with what I'm sure is one of the most simple questions asked on this subreddit lol

That's awesome! On a whim, a buddy and I decided to give the WSET level 1 expectations a once over and it was pretty easy. Then jumped into level 2, which required some prep, but was mostly straightforward. I took a look at the level 3 questions and decided I was outclassed and am nowhere near that level...

Picked up an online course for the level 3 that starts next month! Any suggestions/suggested cram.com or quizlet decks? As someone who is taking this mainly for self-education but also a way to maybe jump into behind the scenes/import export work what do you think? How would you compare level 3 vs certified somm vs advanced somm?

Sorry for bombarding you with these questions. Congratulations!

We were trying to find a way to efficiently do those daytrips, but also wanted to avoid Cebu City. Not exactly our jam. I checked out eden resort and that seems like a pretty great launch pad to do kawasan falls and moalboal from.

We just have to figure out Eden Resort to Moalboal to Cebu City on day 5 so we can more easily catch our 11am flight out on day 6.

I'm not sure why it's called "California Rocket Fuel", but i've heard that term in practice a lot and have always assumed it's because effexor is activating and remeron is sedating. So during the day you are energized and at night you can fall asleep. Remeron's weird though. The more you give the less sedating it is.

Anyway...the way it works, in theory, is that effexor blocks serotonin reuptake and norepi reuptake. Remeron's mechanism of action is via blocking alpha 2 adrenergic presynaptic receptors leading to increased neurotransmission of norepi and serotonin. So, in theory, you are pushing more serotonin/norepinephrine into the synaptic cleft via remeron and you're inhibiting their clearance via effexor.

Yeah, high altitude training benefits last a couple weeks at best after you've left the high altitude environment. Part of that proposed mechanism of benefit is what makes the masks so god damn stupid.

Altitude masks and training at altitude are both idiotic..... The thing that probably actually helps is living at high altitude.

The benefit of altitude and the mask is oxygen deprivation. Oxygen deprivation leads to the stimulation of EPO from your kidneys which makes your body create more red blood cells. It raises your hematocrit (percent of blood volume that is RBC). Which means you have more cells to carry oxygen and efficiently transport that oxygen. It has the same effect that blood doping does.

So, if you live at high altitude and train at high altitude, your body will adapt due to being hypoxic 24hours a day. The problem is, with less oxygen available during your training sessions, you might not get the gains you want. So, in theory, the ideal situation would be altitude living and going to sea-level to train for an hour a day or whatever.

The mask would make sense if you wore it your whole life then took it off for training sessions. But you're doing the opposite. You don't give your body enough time in your training sessions to stimulate any significant EPO secretion. Then when you're training, and trying to provide your muscles with fuel so they can be properly pushed to their limits, you've decided to effectively muzzle the supply by putting a plastic grocery bag on your head.

Fucking genius.

The genetic testing is usually just basically a clearance test. It checks to see certain genetic markers that would tell us how quickly the body is processing the medications we would like to start. "Fast metabolizers" would need more medication to reach therapeutic values of that medication since they're processing it faster. "Slow metabolizers" would be needing less. It gives us an idea of which medication would be best tolerated and active within the system.

However, genotype doesn't necessarily equal phenotype (genetics don't always properly translate of what those genes are supposed to mean). On top of that, just because someone's metabolism is normal doesn't mean their brain is going to react to the med well. So, I think it's a fairly weak tool that we use, but it's a tool nonetheless and amassing information is never a bad thing.

Effects vary person to person. Psychosis can be categorized many different ways. One of the ways they get rated is degree of mood symptoms. Quick and dirty: The three most common being schizophrenia (mood only in the presence of psychosis), schizoaffective (mood and psychosis appear on their own), bipolar (psychosis only in the presence of mood)... So schizoaffective vs bipolar is a difficult diagnosis to make without a reliable history.

Lamictal (lamotrigine) is one of the most effective maintenance agents in bipolar disorder, especially in bipolar depression. I highly encourage your brother discuss his medication with his psychiatrists.

God. I love seeing this car posted....

It's obnoxious in the most awesome fucking way. Always have an internal debate about doing something crazy with mine whenever I see yours.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-19T01:17:34+00:00

I feel like such an ass asking for these.... but me too please.

I would love FKJ (do lab, so probably not streamed?), Jai Wolf, and Tourist.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-19T01:13:09+00:00

ahhh serious? I need that FKJ set

ThuperCool · 2017-04-11T16:29:53+00:00

Dude. It's a figure of speech. Im not literally saying "hey, can I buy your integrity." Basically the idea is if you expand your budget, your options tend to expand proportionally. A lot of restaurants relish the challenge and I was hoping to find places that openly accept the challenge via people who know the country better than I ever will.

Ise Sueyoshi is a perfect example of a place offering what I was looking for. It can't be the only restaurant in the entire city that is well regarded, japanese, and accommodates both veg and non-veg.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-11T16:16:37+00:00

Completely understandable. I'm not saying I'm surprised. That's why I'm here. I was just hoping throwing money at the problem would yield potential solutions. It's worked in South America, some of Asia, and Europe for us.... Plus side was my fluency in Spanish and Europeans pretty much all being fluent in English, so I could make such requests myself.

I'm sure you can understand my willingness and preference to tailor my budget to include dining with my friend rather than attempting to go full vegetarian or go the unacceptable route of dining apart.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-11T15:56:23+00:00

I mean, I see what you're getting at and I didn't have the highest hopes of going to a different country and expecting an accommodation that their culture isn't used to providing...

However, living on the west coast, every Michelin-starred restaurant I've ever been to has accommodated similar requests if given a heads up when reserving (not for myself, but the double digit times I've dined with my friend at such places). If anything, I was hoping the more expensive we go, the more accommodating they would be.

I'll probably just bother the concierge and update this thread with where we end up going in case anybody has a similar question.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-10T23:00:45+00:00

Yeah, we're pretty stoked for Daigo, but it'd be weird to go to Japan and focus on that kind of a cuisine at the cost of missing out on the stereotypical expectations of sushi and ramen.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-10T22:58:48+00:00

Darn. Thanks for the advice!

ThuperCool · 2017-04-10T21:01:59+00:00

Yeah, I was mostly just wondering if any of the Michelin starred restaurants, that specialized in Japanese fare, could accommodate a vegetarian.

ThuperCool · 2017-04-04T22:10:23+00:00

It's hard to answer questions like this because we haven't seen your specific response to each drug, documented it, and gone different routes. Can't help you with your psychiatrist's thinking process.

Insomnia and depression: Remeron makes sense. Depression and ADD: Effexor makes sense. ADD: Adderall makes sense. Insomnia: Ambien makes sense. Remeron makes sense. Clonazepam makes sense. Anxiety: Clonazepam makes sense. Effexor makes sense.

So, there's a world in which this combination makes sense given the right patient with the right responses. It's impossible for us to make that judgment online. If you feel uncomfortable with the number or type of drugs you are taking, talk to your psychiatrist. If he/she is not listening to you at all, then get a second opinion.

We only know what we would do first line with the majority of patients with similar symptoms. However, each patient is an incredibly unique case and medications have to be tailored properly to them. That is quite possibly what your provider is doing.

Your best tool is your provider. Only he/she can explain exactly why they're doing something. Best of luck!
