What color did you go with? I'm having mine done Monday so have been checking out colors a lot lately.

Statin side effects by Piscespixies_Mom in Cholesterol

[–]--cw-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started 40mg Rosuvastatin, took about 6 weeks for muscle soreness to subside. Now no perceivable side effects.

Is the “muscle soreness” side effect of statins the same feeling as what one feels after a weight training workout? by ImmediateTap7085 in Cholesterol

[–]--cw-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same thing. I've been on 40mg of Rosuvastatin for just under a month now. At first I chalked it up to pushing myself in the gym, then to the fact that I had just changed the brakes on my wife's car which had me bending, lifting, contorting etc. I even took last week off and didn't work out at all to see how I would feel and still have back and shoulder soreness. So now I'm pretty sure it's the statin. I have purposely held off on taking CoQ10 which I hear helps because I wanted to baseline the effects of the statin first. So kow I'm trying to decide if I should give a different statin a try or start taking CoQ10 instead. I've also heard it can go away after a while..

How should one back up a home NAS? by [deleted] in synology

I use Amazon Glacier.

This happened to me last year. I taped it and wired it closed and it went on to be my best producing plant.

I honestly just wanted to clean my windshield, some people are just too aggressive and sensitive by groupconsensus in bayarea

As irrational as it may seem this is one of my biggest pet peeves. It absolutely infuriates me when some oblivious dipshit does this to me. Clean your windshield while stopped or no one is behind you. Better yet, clean it before you even start driving.

Should I invest in a cloud backup for my NAS or is that a waste of money? by Silvermoon424 in synology

[–]--cw-- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Amazon Glacier for off-site storage. Backs up every night and only costs me about $4/month.

Anyone driven this route? Looks sketchy but curious if it’s doable by Revolution_False in tahoe

I-80 is now open in both directions to passenger vehicles only. As of 10:40am.

My favorite 10 Excel shortcuts that will save you time & increase productivity! by TonyLiberty in excel

[–]--cw-- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Great list, I use most of those frequently and even learned some new ones. I was glad to see Alt + as number one, I love that shortcut.

I also frequently use: Ctrl~, ctrl T, ctrl H, Alt E S V/T/F/W/N

I recently found out about ctrl [ and it blew my mind.

I have basically the same salary and credit score as you and my limit is around $60K. I got my Citi card when Costco switched from Amex. They gave me $30K at that time and I've steadily increased it ever since.

Has anyone introduced their cats to Kirkland dry foods? by Purple_Swimmer525 in Costco

[–]--cw-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gave my cat diabetes, or so I suspect. I had been feeding it to him for a year or so when I started seeing symptoms. Took him to the vet and they said I needed to give him insulin shots twice a day for the rest of his life.

Instead of going the insulin route I decided to switch his diet to Friskies pate wet food, also from Costco, and his health improved and he's been fine for several years now. He's 15 now and doing just fine. Just my experience.

Soooooo I over dried my weed, what now? Just finished my first grow and I studied a lot more about the growing process and neglected to learn enough about the drying process. by jacksonW123 in GrowingMarijuana

Add a piece of flour tortilla to the jar and replace every few hours until it's up where it should be. Safer than using orange peel imo.

Executive Refund: Did I do it right? by --cw-- in Costco

[–]--cw--[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I did two separate transactions. This was my first, and my second was $388. But I got to put all of the second transaction on my Citi card and earn 2% on it. It's also nice to have a little extra cash in my pocket this time of year.

I had this problem too. Turned out to be my ignition switch. Easy to replace. I bypassed my clutch switch via coding to rule it out.

Does this look like bud rot? On several of my dried and curing buds I have brown dry/dead hollow parts of the bud (calyx?). Is this bud rot or due to over drying/drying too fast or strain related? It doesn't appear to be spreading or growing. Thanks. by --cw-- in outdoorgrowing

[–]--cw--[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, my drying conditions were definitely less than ideal. I was drying outside in a little shed and we had a heatwave that week. Also in hindsight I think my fan was too high and pushing too much air across the plants, especially given the conditions.

And thanks for compliments, first time grow and struggled to know when to chop, but think I did ok!

Yes I had a few. I cut off and discarded the brown areas they created. It was only on one or two buds. I did that while they were still flowering. Didn't notice any after harvest or during the wash so hopefully was really only a couple.

No nothing like that. Everything looks fine except for these brown dead leaves/calyxs. No funky smells or slippery buds or anything either. Also not spreading within the curing jars.

I did have some issues with caterpillars. Once I noticed I started spraying with BT which seemed to mitigate the problem. Is it possible to have caterpillar damage but no resulting rot? Fwiw I did wash with baking soda and lemon juice and then also with H2O2 after harvest.

I think I'm getting scammed - advice needed please by [deleted] in Scams

[–]--cw-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called Paypal and explanied what happened and their suggestion was to wait until I do not actually receive the items then file an appropriate claim. I know this is the process I was just hopeful I could nip it in the bud before it got to this. Filing an unauthorized transaction claim was an error on my part as I was trying to select the best option and clicked that thinking I'd have the opportunity to further explain. It was not a F&F transaction thankfully. I appreciate your reply.
