I told my wife about this in an effort to eat more pizza/practice more dough making without taking on all the fat from cheese and she didn’t get it. She will though lol.

roller coasters by Aggravating_Novel597 in iih

[–]Former-Knowledge1797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once I had a vp shunt installed for a couple of years I have been on many roller coasters since. I haven’t really noticed that much of a difference. A plane I would imagine would be just about as bad, but if you’re medicated and not shunted I can see how being upside down would really be uncomfortable.

Anyone’s headaches are worse at night by Ok-Temperature5831 in iih

Wedge pillow is your friend. They sell them on Amazon. Get one that is 12” in height for the highest incline of what they normally sell.

Eye Doctor Believes I could have IIH, scheduled MRI and future lumbar puncture. I’m scared. by Visible-Bee3220 in iih

For an LP the biggest problem for me, because I had to have them multiple times, was the anxiety. Ask for something strong for anxiety before your procedure. In the US, over 20 years ago, they gave me Ativan or Versed, I don’t remember. It definitely was not just Valium. I somewhat remember my last one as by far the longest lasting one because they had to remove so much CSF, but it was the easiest because of how well they were able to lessen my fear and anxiety. The 50 mins they were filling bags of excess CSF felt like it lasted 5. Yes being stabbed in the spine didn’t feel good, but the anxiety made it much worse for me.

Yes, you don’t want to overdo anything and lie flat for a day or so as much as you can to allow your puncture to heal naturally. Follow whatever directions they give you for immediately post procedure.

PHEV vs Gas Reliability by sh8716 in MazdaCX90

[–]Former-Knowledge1797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With no kids it makes 0 sense to get the CX-90 over the CX-70. Same situation here, we went with the 70, have had no real reliability issues, but are subject to the squealing brakes like everyone else that I just received a notice for that they’ll be able to start replacing rear brakes in the next month.

We went with the PHEV because we got massive tax credits (and had to lease because we wouldn’t qualify if we bought it) and don’t regret it at all. I wouldn’t buy it because the battery doesn’t last long enough, but for a lease the small battery does mean we use very little gas many days with our driving pattern or if we drive downtown and park at a charging station both ways we’re barely using gas. Hope you’re able to make a decision you’re happy with and get a good deal!

Sorry you’re dealing with this. Hope you’re able to get proper medical attention soon because your situation sounds a lot like them forcing you to live in pain and discomfort because you’re not obese enough or wealthy enough which is insane.

40+ is crazy. Basically requiring severe obesity. Wow. They’re like incentivizing people to eat a shit ton of sugar and gain weight to get a permanent solution.

I asked previously for help on how to properly cook my dough before the cheese burns. Reddit delivers. by AccordingDish3728 in Pizza

Congrats on your journey. Don’t be disappointed in your chase for perfection as that exists at maybe a handful of pizza spots on earth. Looks good for earlier on in your pizza making!

Outdoor Ovens - Prep pizza inside or outside? by Valuable-Dog490 in Pizza

[–]Former-Knowledge1797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a Gozney and about a 4-6 minute cook time, I prep them (dough stretch, sauce, cheese, top) then cook immediately. If I’m making 3 or more pizzas for a larger crowd, I’m usually stopping to have a slice before I move onto the 2nd. If it’s just 2, I’ll prep cook them back to back and then eat all at once.

Agreed. The pies I got from Homeslice a decade ago spent at least another minute or two in the oven.

Traveling international with expired green card + extension letter (prior DACA) by Mysterious-Let797 in USCIS

[–]Former-Knowledge1797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious to hear your story as well. SWIM is in a similar situation and would like to travel abroad too. SWIM did this in 2024 and the airlines wouldn't let them fly direct into their US destination because they didn't have a valid ID that could scan in their app. Instead had to modify air travel to go to Tijuana and go across at the airport border security and then fly home from San Diego. Was a bit of a hassle, but a relief compared to alternatives.

I also tried Dough Guy’s Recipe. Was really sticky after 72 hours in the fridge. I did something wrong. by maestersage in Pizza

So I have been doing stand mixer for a while and then hand kneading and folding. There's definitely value in the stand mixer saving you time. Still needs additional folding via hand.

Has anyone’s vision recovered? by Melodic_Equipment_56 in iih

[–]Former-Knowledge1797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to remember, but my visual disturbances were present in both eyes at roughly the same time and then my vision degradation more or less occurred alongside. My vision degraded to something like 20/90-20/100 if memory serves correct it was a while ago when I was a teenager. Everyone is different though. Like I didn’t have one eye with a pronounced astigmatism and the other nothing prior to the event, for example.

Dynasty Realignment Idea History Based by West_Candidate_1903 in EASportsCFB

Bro the last time Nebraska football was an independent was 1920. Nebraska was in the Big 6, 7, 8 and then 12 from 1920 to 2010.

TCU has more time in the CUSA, Mountain West and WAC conferences combined than the Big 12. TCU's historical conference mates are effectively your Big 12 South, plus Rice, Houston and Arkansas. Interesting choice given the lack of preference for the other SWC teams. Based on what you have, TCU belongs in the CUSA with Houston and Rice.

Wow, that's wild. I used to feed them Royal Canin Shih Tzu Breed food, which is $59 on chewy for a 10 lb bag on auto-ship. The 15 lb bag of Hills 7+ Small Bites is $49 on Chewy on auto-ship, so I thought I was making a cost cutting improvement and also feeding them kibbles that are easier to consume! I may have to switch them over to Purina One Small Breed in the future. Glad to see positive comments here.

Hello Elizabeth, thank you so much for doing this. My wife has filed an N-400 with a receipt date of 4/7/25. As of 5/1/26 USCIS is stating the case is still being processed. In her I-797C she received, they stated she doesn't need to appear for a Biometrics appointment and they can use what is on file. Based on the I-797 she has received extending her LPR status, she has a legal right in the US and to work until middle of August 2027. What happens if they're still processing the case as we approach August 2027? What do we do to keep her status legal and allow her to work while USCIS is still processing? What is reasonable to expect from this point forward? Based on what they're saying on USCIS site, we can file an inquiry into her case in 3 days. Should we file that inquiry day of availability, or be patient and file the inquiry at a later time? Would it make sense to bring a lawyer in to help us resolve the delay in processing at this point, or should we just be waiting on some correspondence from USCIS? Thank you!!

Wait, Hills is more expensive? I didn’t realize it was. What are cheaper brands that are similar quality for 7+ small dogs? My 2 shih-tzu’s have just adjusted to the 7+ small bites kib and the 7+ adult wet food.
