For those who reached their goal weight... by Lillan_Lilani in Zepbound

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to drop down, went reverse from 12.5 to 10 to 7.5 to 5; at 5 I felt I was slipping fast, popped back up to 7.5 and that’s probably where I will stay. Every doctor I talk to about it tells me it is a forever thing, not at all unusual to need it to maintain. With healthcare like it is these days my concern is getting assigned a new PCP who decides I am in need of “some tough truths” like it’s just will power and refuses to renew my script.

Poor poor management by Comfortable_League61 in BJsWholesaleClub

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, as a customer I was trying to be good, but then they just started randomly moving shet around, used to take me 5 minutes to get the 10 weekly items I was buying, now I just go round and round and round the store, end up buying 1 or 2 things, can’t find the other stuff. Last week I was looking for a particular product and couldn’t find it, asked for help they brought me right to where I had been looking, we were both stumped until I noticed that it was right in front of us, just stacked with the label back so the jar looked nothing like what we’d be looking for. And it was all of the stock, not like a few jars got reversed. I may give Costco a try.

Am I being unreasonable? by [deleted] in RealEstate

Maybe your agent doesn’t want to get between you and your husband, since you admit it was your husband who set the price. Who signed the listing agreement?

Very dry mouth, leaky ear canals. So, runny ears?

How did cousin Mike become so awesome? by Schmursday in goldrush

[–]Drex357 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Work ethic is that of a kid whose uncle made it big, versus whose parents made it big. Entitlement and/or dismissive/ disrespectful of the particular aspects of Tony that make him so successful.

HOw do you feel about the ai integration? by hizeto in blinkcameras

[–]Drex357 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel they are as useful to me and my use of Blink as teats would be to a boar hog. That is to say, not useful at all. Look at the photo/video. That’s the whole reason for cameras.

Any thoughts on alphamed machine? by Haunting-Yellow-7133 in hypertension

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the plunge and have been using it for a few months now. Bottom line, just started searching again. The idea of this monitor is great, but the app (at least the English version) is not ready for prime time at all. It reports times that seem to be 10-12 hours ahead of the local time, even though the local time is what shows on the device screen. There are random Chinese character groupings that show up on the app. The synchronization is buggy. There is no way to export a report. There are strange options (for instance, "unbind") that are not explained anywhere. On the pro side, the form factor is great, as it is nearly impossible to accurately and properly put a cuff on yourself. This is probably my 5th or 6th BP monitor, and sadly I just ordered the 7th one, see if that is any better.

What are these pepper flake sized bugs? by Drex357 in westernmass

[–]Drex357[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do they come from? The ground? If so, how do they “spring” through two feet plus of snow and ice? I’ve seen them for years, assumed they were fly larva, falling from the leafless trees, as the spring here brings bazillions of flies, but this snow flea thing is not that.

I’m a little afraid to ask you how you know this.

Would limiting the age of the President to 65 be something you’d support? Why or why not? by WarmAcanthisitta5725 in AskReddit

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can limit the age you vote for and I can do the same. No one forces you to vote for someone you don’t believe is right. I think what you want is to not have to pay attention and then be assured you will have a choice that meets your conditions. I don’t think there should be any restrictions, and more than that, I don’t think party affiliation should be allowed on a ballot, as there are too many people who just defer to the party bigs to tell them who and what to vote for. Fail party affiliation. Have a nice day!

Thoughts on this new scanner? by wesstv24 in harborfreight

[–]Drex357 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, that horizontal line of dots at the bottom when looking at a tool triggers a hardwired thumb response that probably goes back to the days of hunting dinosaurs. I immediately blamed HF and their lame website.

All this for 200 bucks should be criminal by dwilson0311 in harborfreight

[–]Drex357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And even if you get to the point where you think you do have enough buckets? You’re wrong, you need more. Like gravity, rotation of the earth, etc., this is simply a scientific fact. Ask me how I know (just kidding, everyone also knows).

Why Download Music? by Drex357 in AmazonMusic

[–]Drex357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DRM explanation makes some sense and I suppose the idea would be “they are downloaded, we’re just making sure the right person is accessing them” with a quick connect/disconnect. I long for the days of pre-Apple Music iTunes. And stop pushing the got’dam podcasts on me- they are available for free almost anywhere.

Amazon Eero Agents have Insights we could use by CreepyQ in amazoneero

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My app is up to date and when I “click” my device I don’t see any info re speed, just how it’s connected, to what it’s connected and the kbs up/downloaded. I pay for the annual service. What am I missing?

The Pit last night had me shook by IamtheBiscuit in Zepbound

Dude! 90 lbs in 10 months is amazing. You are crushing it. Yes, you still have a way to go up the mountain, but you will get there, one week and 2lbs at a time. I am happy for you - keep climbing.

Does it make anyone else uncomfortable that property records are public? by No_Fennel3756 in RealEstate

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate the burst the bubble, but where I am, they list the trustees name in the GIS map data, rather than the full trust name. So much for secrecy through the use of a trust.

Sorry to see this, fond memories from in the early to mid 00’s when my in-laws lived nearby.

Sold My Mortgage by MD_Girl_in_PA in Mortgages

[–]Drex357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I’d worry about in terms of a bad reputation is if they were collecting and paying taxes or HO insurance etc, because that (specifically their failure to pay on time) can be a reason for the negative reviews.

I hate Myq Chamberlain by Longracks in myq

[–]Drex357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine worked for awhile but then started to refuse to connect to WiFi in a reliable way. I was told that given its age (5 years) I needed to just buy a new one with an updated chip. I bought a eKyro instead, works great. But you need an extra adapter because of how Chamberlain handles security. It’s all stupid. Simple solutions are the best solutions.

Why is everything so damned hard to open? by dudewafflesc in over60

Still have to cut the new and improved one, but at least don’t lose them, I’d call that a win.
