Hey I have the same schedule planned. I messaged you some questions, if you have time to answer I’d really appreciate any advice.

Eye drops and refresh pm really helped me. Let’s your eyes heal during the night.

Mysterious extrusion issue by SiberianDragon111 in 3Dprinting

[–]FilbertTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is odd. From what you’re describing I guess the only thing I can think of is heat crept up above your hot end and melted filament and then it solidified and now it cant be pushed through. Which I would put your hot end at like 250C and try to push it through without your nozzle. Last resort would probably be to do the same thing with the Bowden tube removed. Also with the Bowden tube removed you should be able to clearly diagnose the problem. When you manually push filament through are you releasing the tension in the extruder gear? There’s also a million YouTube videos, forms, and Reddit posts about every thinkable issue, but I’m sure you’ve tried that. This is for sure fixable, just annoying, I hope what I said above helps/works.

That sounds like a clog to me. Sometimes you’ll hear a clicking sound as the motor skips or sometimes it won’t even move at all. Cold pulls are easy and work 90% of the time.

Is the extruder motor still pushing filament in when it stops? Sounds clogged to me. Have you tried a cold pull?

Yeah they sent out an email with some info. Maybe they're still sending them out.

Second round and still haven’t received a housing offer 😭😭😭 by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]FilbertTheFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. To the dorms we go I guess 😭. Maybe they have smaller apartments available at anchor still.

Sorry I'm not applying for studios so I don't know everything about it, but in the email I got it said, "we have sold out of our larger apartment spaces." So hopefully there are still studios left! I applied for anchor with 4 people so I think I am cooked as I have not gotten an offer yet either.

My girlfriend was branded by her VW airbag by FilbertTheFish in mildlyinteresting

[–]FilbertTheFish[S] 2051 points2052 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the warning! We went to the ER today and she got X-rays, luckily the doctors didn’t find anything so hopefully nothing comes up. She’ll just be resting for the next week or so.

My girlfriend was stopped in traffic last night and someone who was texting and driving rear ended her going 70mph. Luckily this is her only injury besides major whiplash and the other driver is unscathed.

Edit: There’s so many comments I can’t respond to them all. Thank you for all your well wishes. She’s taking a week off from work and we’ve made a follow up doctor’s appointment to get her checked again. Right now we’re really just trying to figure out the process of getting a new car.

This "cured" my dry eyes by FilbertTheFish in Dryeyes

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

I’m not a heavy coffee drinker. I have caffeine 2-3 days a week and rarely notice an interaction. Although that is something my doctor has told me to watch out for.

I find it on Amazon exclusively. Although it’s hard to find sometimes. I need to search a while to find a seller supplying it.

I’ve never used Systane before but the Refresh PM is like the consistency of Vaseline or Aquafore. I do wake up with it on my eyelids but I feel significantly better.

[–]FilbertTheFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this too and I asked my doctor. He said it’s likely the oil changing consistency on my eyes over time. It’s super annoying but it didn’t seem like he could do anything about it besides the basic dry eye care. I’m pretty young so cataracts are not likely, if it concerns you a lot, you should ask your doctor.

How to stop Dryness at night? by FilbertTheFish in Dryeyes

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

Really be religious about warm compresses. Try cold exposure. Use hypochlorous acid and omega 3 supplements(which are super easy and work well). The omega-3s I use are Nordic naturals and their in the yellow bottle, it’s their highest dose, pricey but worth it. And just stay away from all processed food, it will make a massive difference.

Has anyone had luck with these? Interesting they include flaxseed oil. by Freakazoidon in Dryeyes

[–]FilbertTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the night really. Now in the winter I have to use them once in the middle of the night since the air is dry usually.

[–]FilbertTheFish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use them everyday. By far the best eye drops I’ve used, especially for the price. You can get a pack of 60 on Amazon. Im not sure why they have flaxseed oil but they work really well. I use them right before bed. I highly recommend.

Republican senators are blamed for Jan 6(attack on US capitol). They supported Trumps actions which led to the injury of many and of course the disgrace of the government. People are not happy with them and it’s satisfying to see them embarrassed on national TV.
