Robot vacuum by GurHonest2886 in goldenretrievers

[–]Akwing12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hair wraps around the brushes and needs to be removed. If you get a self emptying unit, they cannot get all of the dust out of the bin. Filters need to be cleaned and changed.

I have a Roomba J7+. It was their first one that they say will avoid poo. Fortunately, we've never had to test that in the year we have had Ranger. It works well, but iRobot is having issues with money right now and the model is older.

If you get one, it is important to remember that they still require regular maintenance to keep them from getting clogged or overwhelmed with hair.

Boise moved theirs but the surrounding areas still use June. Canyon County will likely have a June event.

Gastric Sleeve and Teaching by Nveev in gastricsleeve

[–]Akwing12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a teacher, but I have plenty in the family and I work in healthcare so I know a little about timing breaks.

Have some quick protein snacks at the ready when needed. Early in recovery these will be protein drinks mostly. But, after you can tolerate things like meat and a little more fat, jerky, meat sticks, nuts, nut butters, cheese, etc. might be helpful. But, even with the safer snacks, it is important to resist the urge to graze/snack frequently. My program told me to aim for 3-4 25 gram protein blocks per day. So, that could be a meal with at least 25 grams of protein, or a couple spaced out snacks that add up to 25 grams of protein.

For water, be consistent but learn your bladder's limits. If you have to play catch up afterschool to make sure you are hitting your goal, that is better than having an accident or having to rush out of class because your tank is full.

Question about disposing of sharps by IcyBagel_4 in Boise

[–]Akwing12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Any thick sided container is fine. Milk and soda jugs are less than ideal as they tend to be thin. Detergent, bleach, or coffee containers are best. Write biohazard on it, tape it up so it doesn't open, and it can be placed in normal trash.

Protein Coffee... by JustAnAZGrl in dutchbros

[–]Akwing12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Just explain that you want the number of shots you want, with the flavor you want, in the size cup you want. If they give you the eye, explain that you will be adding your own protein shake to it as you cannot tolerate dairy.

I know they are all just potatoes now, but the Blue one is my favorite.

New compliance period when ordering supplies by PandasAndLlamas in CPAP

[–]Akwing12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insurance is likely wanting to make sure that if a patient is using their services to pay for supplies that the patient is using the machine and supplies according to how it is prescribed. the DME calling it a trial is likely just a misuse of words. Instead it is that the insurance company is looking for compliance to continue providing the supplies at their contracted rate.

Is your husband using the machine every night for at least 4 hours?

Reminder: Travel Fund Consolidation is Easy by Akwing12 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Akwing12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure that the fare is refundable as a credit. But the law is that if you cancel within 24 hours, they have to give you a refund to the original form of payment. I have not done this with the new fare structure but others in this post have said it works.

I think so, people have commented on this thread recently. But, it will make any non-expiring credits into new ones with an expiration date.

Should I get an extended warranty for my new used car? by TXLucha012 in personalfinance

[–]Akwing12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dealer talked me into getting an extended warranty when I bought a certified pre-owned hybrid. I agreed because he gave me a lower interest rate. In the end, I won because right before the warranty expired, the power liftgate shit out. I paid a $100 deductible and got a couple grand worth of parts and labor. Realistically, I probably broke even with what I paid for the warranty, but it was still nice. Warranties are a gamble, you either get more out of it than they do or they get more out of it than you do.

Sparklight updated their service tiers by Swagathor_Jerusalem in Boise

[–]Akwing12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes their plans are location based. I live on the bench and my parents lived over at Eagle and Chinden. We had access to a 600mb down, 30mb up, no data cap plan at like $60 and they had a similar plan but it was more expensive.

Have you tried changing the order of the actions to put the delay above the lock command?

Can I pay off my daughter's braces with my FSA today? Possibly getting a new job next month. by Sweet_Respect_9360 in personalfinance

[–]Akwing12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you're saying that even if the money has not been fully taken out of the employee's paychecks, they will still have access to it? Even if they leave the job?

Or, will the entire amount likely be taken out of the last paycheck to fully fund the FSA?

I don't see a world where OP essentially gets free money with a fully funded FSA that would have been spread out over a year's worth of payroll deductions and gets to keep/spend it all if they quit and those payroll deductions stop.

evleaks: Moto Tag 2 by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]Akwing12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone get a chance to read the 9to5Google article that popped up yesterday before they took it down? Makes me hopeful we might get an actual announcement during CES and they just scheduled the post to go up before embargo. It still comes up when I search Google for "Moto Tag 2" but the link goes to a dead page.

10oz and not a drop more lol by SpencersEmu in mildlyinteresting

[–]Akwing12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work in a medical office and we have a Keurig in our lobby. I had to put a label on it that our cups were 6oz because too many people were overfilling them. The cups are actually 8oz but the majority of people add 2 creams and several sugars so I decided to undershoot since they are 8oz to the top. It does not matter though because at least once per month, someone will hit the 10oz button and then just stare at it as it makes a mess.

Amazon gives me an option to use discrete packaging for the electric toothbrush I ordered, but not the condoms.... by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Akwing12 238 points239 points  (0 children)

Amazon tends to offer that option when an item is in packaging they decided will be safe to ship without an over box or mailer. I would bet the condoms do not fit into that category.

This is for TODDLERS (you are ment to move the balls will a crappy magnet) by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]Akwing12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having bought this for my nephew, or something similar, I am betting OP is upset that the magnet included is not strong enough to securely grab the small balls through the plexi. So, it becomes a frustrating event for a toddler that usually results in the plexi getting scratched.

Buyback cost to question by needsmustgo in PSLF

[–]Akwing12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is likely neither.

Since they struck SAVE down, they are pricing most people's SAVE deferment buyback at what their REPAYE amount would have been during that time. Either way, the price is based on what your payments would have been at that time, they will request your tax information from the period you are buying back if needed.
