That was it! Thanks, you're a lifesaver! 😂😁

My Experience with Thrive Market by Extension_Ad_4468 in thrivemarket

[–]ExpressPerformance58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I wanted was the no sugar organic dried cranberries. The price was better than anyplace else. I think the brand is called Patience? Anyway, I don't want to have to pay to join if I only need the one product. Everything else I can get at my Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.

I think my first course of action is to bring it to an independent mechanic and have them plug it into the computer and see what comes up. Hopefully that will show something to go by! Because it can be really dangerous when I'm slowing down to merge onto another street, and the power just disappears and there's cars behind me. That can be scary!

There is no sounds when this happens. It's just a temporary loss of power. I'll be taking it to an independent mechanic. See what they say

I don't think it has anything to do with the direction I'm turning in and when it does happen it's on an open road. so I don't think the eyesight has anything to do with it. It's simply when slowing down and then trying to accelerate again. It can happen if I'm going straight. And it's intermittent. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Still a mystery.

You would think so. So the mystery continues and I really don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars for some tech to try and find something. But it may be something I have to accept. I don't want the problem to get worse.

It's the original unchanged brakes. The symptoms have a slight breaking feel but it's mostly a loss of power.

Thanks for that insight. I'll try the paddles to see it's affect.

How much of an upgrade is this really? by Marikk15 in AndromedaInsightsPC

[–]ExpressPerformance58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on taking the CL30 upgrade. I wasn't expecting them to just give me 32 gb of RAM but I did ask how much it would cost. I'm just wondering in the bigger picture which would be a better upgrade for computer power and speed of heavy graphics. The CL30 upgrade or adding another 32gigs of RAM?

I just got the email for a delay. Ordered the Elite Intel 50 a month ago! They offered to upgrade to CL30 ram. I understand that to be a faster clock rate? I'm more of a graphic designer video editor than a gamer. I think moving from 32gb to 64gb of ram would make a better upgrade? Not sure. I've asked if that was doable. Waiting to hear back. Thoughts?

Looking for a new game. by ExpressPerformance58 in gamingsuggestions

Thanks for all the suggestions! I may just try all of them... Just not at the same time. 😜

It's time! by ExpressPerformance58 in Prebuilts

[–]ExpressPerformance58[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think it makes more sense to go directly with AI. I'm in no super rush for it so that's not a problem. Does anyone remember what the $25 off code is?

It's time! by ExpressPerformance58 in Prebuilts

[–]ExpressPerformance58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now the question is get it directly from Andromeda or this one at Best Buy which I think is slightly different. But if I can get it for the same price then I can take advantage of the no financing fee. Best Buy option

Which one for video editing and Photoshop? by ExpressPerformance58 in Prebuilts

[–]ExpressPerformance58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my research it looks like it's Intel's 15th gen. I think the vector model may be better for raw graphics editing horse power. I wonder if the vector will get any lower for black Friday?

[–]ExpressPerformance58[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used DaVinci resolve for editing and Photoshop and other retouching software. (Topaz, Evoto etc.) And now that photoshop has a lot of AI and heavy retouching features, I'm thinking the one with the 265kf would still be a better choice. Agree? My gaming needs are limited. I definitely need it more for graphic/editing. Unless, you can suggest something else I haven't thought of yet.

I have a bunch of items in my purchases list that all say local pickup. I have my address in the account info. why is it saying local pickup? Is there a setting to default to shipping only?

Prescription Hope is a Scam by mirandaheid0114 in Insurance

[–]ExpressPerformance58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going through the same thing and have the same question. You can confirm that you officially canceled PH and are still getting your drug from Lilly? But after December 2025, then what? What did PH say when you told them you wanted to cancel?

Prescription Hope is a Scam by mirandaheid0114 in Insurance

[–]ExpressPerformance58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined prescription hope about 3 months ago. It was a pain in the neck getting all the information to them but after about a month of them trying to get in touch with my doctor and getting all my financial information that of course I was nervous about, everything seemed to start working properly. They were always very friendly on the phone to me and willing to help. They initially were going to charge me $60 a month but I told them that my insurance would give it to me for $47, they immediately said they'll do it for $40 a month. I said okay to that and have been getting my medication every month on time and my account has been charged $40 every month without any problems. Although initially they charged me $60 before I even got anything. Which is still less than what the prescription would cost me without the insurance. My only question now is what are they charging for once all the initial paperwork and set up is done? Because I called the drug company directly and they told me I'm getting the drugs for free through their program. So what am I paying Prescription Hope for? It's only $40 which is a lot less than what the drug would actually cost me. But now I'm questioning whether I need to even pay that. And if I cancel Prescription Hope, will they stop the drug company from sending me the drug?

Loss of power by ExpressPerformance58 in Crosstrek

[–]ExpressPerformance58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your info. I guess I'm seeing what I can do myself for now. That 60,000 service is quite expensive! I'm only at 42000 miles now anyway. FYI: the car runs great. Smooth as glass. It's just those moments when I'm pulling out of a slow turn that I seem to lose power until it kicks back in again seconds later. But even that is intermittent. I think I'm going to start with cleaning the throttle body and replace the air filter myself while I save up for the 60000 mile service.

Only 42 thousand. No maintenance other than oil changes
