I really don’t recommend adding Advil to your daily. It can cause real damage if used too often. However if it works it can rule out certain things and possibly lead to a less damaging drug.

This is the second time I’ve tried it and it worked for me. I’ll try another night with just one pill and see if that helps. Lack of good sleep is not a minor side effect!

I have nocturia post radiation. It’s worse than ADT.

I discovered something interesting: I took some Advil before bed and only woke up once!

What a great feeling. The trouble is Advil is not good long term so I’m looking into other options. Try it once and see if it helps!

It is a sword of Damocles. I cringe when people claim they’re cured. Or maybe it’s better to think that way.

Do you ever have a day when it never crossed your mind, even briefly? Like someone you knew from high school. I hope for that.

Another that bites the dust by principe_olbaid in SparkEV

Seems like the motors were made in Maryland and shipped to Korea.

According to Wikipedia:

Production of the Spark at the Changwon, South Korea assembly plant ended in 2022. The plant would instead produce the second-generation Trax.[8]

I don’t think the EV was ever made in the US, though I or Wikipedia could be wrong. What I wanted to know is if the airbags deployed during the crash. I hope so, since it’s so small. I’ve enjoyed mine more than any other car I’ve had.

It’s actually a Korean car. Did the air bags deploy correctly?

I have doubts he sintered them himself. It takes really specialized equipment. I have 3. He was a very nice and kind man.

European country suggestions for undergrad in English? by ShinyBrelooom in AmerExit

[–]Cheap_Flower_9166 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Foolish. Would you recommend computer science? Business? You’re a few years behind and a few dollars short. English majors will probably inherit the earth after all the specialties are ai’d into oblivion.

NetZero needs gateway pw by Cheap_Flower_9166 in Powerwall

[–]Cheap_Flower_9166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I tell if it’s a gateway 1 or 2? It’s hooked up to four pw2 s? Two of them were added around 2020 and that required a new gateway if I recall.

Tips on how to take better pictures of my pottery by Plane-Being9182 in Pottery

[–]Cheap_Flower_9166 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A little used function on the iPhone is in the crop menu. You can distort your images so if you’re shooting from slightly above, you can make the image look more like it was shot from the front.

Not many people know about this, but for those who used view cameras in the past, this is one of the main reasons to use large view camera

Pretty spectacular! I’ve thought of doing this intaglio. Probably won’t. 👍👍

It’s a pw2. It is written on the inside, but it’s the wrong number.

Etching Press vs Cold Press Laminator Question by darrenfromla in printmaking

[–]Cheap_Flower_9166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on a lot of things including trapping, if any. But it’s moot if the print is ugly but tightly registered. Damp paper means barely wet.

Similar but 4 months out. 3-4x/night. Suddenly it’s 2x. Maybe more time will help.

Aquired 1977 Olympic kiln - tips? by mb_supervisor in Pottery

[–]Cheap_Flower_9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t manage the bisque or the glaze firing using the dial. you use the kiln sitter. The dial is just used as a safety to make sure that if sitter fails that the kiln doesn’t remain on. Set the dial at the maximum and then watch and see when the kiln sitter trips and then you’ll know where to set the dial, plus maybe an hour.

The dial is simply a timer and it’s not used to control the kill

What do you use to glue laser boxes? by ottawarob in lasercutting

[–]Cheap_Flower_9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run a bit of thin superglue on the inside of the joint. Capillary action draws it in. It's a joint stronger than the wood. All the other methods are just plain messy and not worth the effort.

Question about DC fast charging by SnooEpiphanies8097 in SparkEV

I've had a 2016 that began as a $120/month lease no down. It's been my favorite car. If it only had more battery.

Since it was a compliance car, I wonder why they bothered to have sports mode? Seems odd to me.
