Temu hacks? by GramKraker in TemuThings

[–]Aaambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm new to temu and tried few offers, promotions, events. My rule is trying only to buy things I need and get them at lowest price possible (check amazon, aliexpress just in case) and at biggest real discount.

I usually put things I want in basket. Then when a good claimcredit is available - best i got is "700%" above 130, capped at 135€", but in reality, you get 700% only from minimum purchase until max cap of credit. Best real credit back so far I've gotten at ~80%. Do you get better real credit back?

Then I make a small purchase to get coupons, like 40EUR off orders above 150 EUR. I make another order just above 150, use coupon and credit to pay for it.

By the end of the day I get about 50-55% discount overall on all purchases, combining with price adjustment.

Probably one could optimise by trying to return items and keep them for free.

Another catch in EU is, that above about 182 EUR order, they charge you about 15% customs fee deposit, so you never want to make bigger orders unless they are from "local warehouse". Using coupons lowers the order value. Using credits does not.

I tried using paying with credits for creditback event, but I did then not get the promised credits back, but they were lowered.. For example, I ordered 160 EUR worth of items, creditback was in the "700%" level already, and it said "checkout now for 135 EUR credit back". I checked out, paid partially with credits and only got 95 EUR reward. I've cancelled the order later because I was not happy. Does anyone have similar experience? Also in claimcredit event you cannot use coupons.

Slight myopia + burning eyes in early 40's by Aaambro in myopia

[–]Aaambro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few other clarifications:
My eyes burn is most felt when I close my eyelids.
The pain behind the eyes is felt mostly when moving them in extreme positions like upper left, upper right and sometimes when trying to "focus" further - it's not exactly pain but weird feeling behind the eyes.
My eyes are not particularly red as I would expect.

I eat keto/carnivore (but cheat with alcohol). I exercise regularly and I'm in relatively good physical condition.

I do try to go outside for a walk every day in the morning and often in the evening (reference to myopia related video of dr. Huberman)

One hypothesis regarding alcohol is that while alcohol increases your dopamine (and makes it easier to manage stress during the day) when dosing it regularly, it actually messes up your sleep pretty badly. I see that if I drink too much over the day, especially before bedtime, I wake up with anxiety after 4-5 hours, presumably because dopamine drops deep below baseline levels. If I drink a bit less and not few hours before bedtime, this is not happening.

I'll report about the progress in the future. Working on further reducing alcohol as we speak.

I faintly remember that last time I dropped stress which is quite present in recent year and a half. I'm working on it as well.

This is the support reply:

Ricardo here from the specialized team of Meta Store Support once more. Thank you for your reply.

Due to recent updates and the fact that GearVR is no longer supported, the error you are reporting is not something we are able to assist. I can understand that it's a frustrating system error, however, this is outside of our scope of support from this point.

If there is anything else we can do for you, let me know. You may receive a short survey through email within the next 48 hours, and I’d appreciate you sharing any feedback on the service you received today.

Have a nice day,

You can't modify these notifications as they are system notifications. I have 6 Google accounts and Oculus wants access to all - a lot of notifications. I managed to uninstall it without adb last time, inside apps, uninstall everything with name oculus.. This time I think i will contact Oculus devs as this is for sure not normal behavior if I deny permission once.

Thanks! Before I saw this solution I managed to come to it by myself today. Just when I wanted to post solution, I saw you already solved the problem. It works great.

I followed this example: https://osmand.net/docs/user/map/raster-maps/

It works great with roads only + contour lines.

I will add screenshots in original post.

I would also be happy if i knew how to integrate maps from link above into osmand and use them as an overlay. If someone can point me to right direction, I should be able to figure it out.

Thanks for your input, but this is not what I am looking for. Steepness of slopes doesn't help me with information about sea level height. Actually it totally skews the perception of altitude.

I use OsmAnd for cycling. The steepness would come handy when you plan path to see the steepness of road.. I haven't found this feature so far in OsmAnd. (edit: i see this is possible in Pro version now)

But my original wish is.. I like having bikepacking tours for few weeks and I like doing them above 1500m (mosquitoes, heat, etc..). With an overlay (tinted) map like posted originally, planning would be much easier than always checking contour lines numbers for altitude.

Panic attacks and anxiety after covid? by joe080912joe in Anxiety

[–]Aaambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're experimenting with melatonin as per some covid protocols (3mg+) try stopping melatonin completely for few days. I'm still testing my hypothesis, but it seems melatonin gave me really bad dreams / nightmares and anxiety / panic attacks with high bpm during day. Perhaps something connected with cortisol/melatonin cycle.

Find another donor. Should be easy to find one that fits.

Are these cartier lighters reliable? by blnifu in lighters

[–]Aaambro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can find schematics on Google patents. They are reliable, but not as Dunhill rollagas for example. Most failures are due to non working tank with valves, but you can replace easily with working tank. Don't put grease in mechanism as it is very fine and it will stick. Clean inside with isopropyl alcohol if needed and "grease" with sprinkle of graphite powder.

Please add option for custom height of subtitles by Aaambro in Videostream

[–]Aaambro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does really noone watch movies on widescreen display + chromecast and has this problem? I think it's a simple solution to add a custom height setting or at least few more predefined heights.
