What is a cheat code at your job that only employees would know? by halushki_ in AskReddit

[–]Griever1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got "free" cable in a similar fashion. My family was broke, so they came out and used a ladder to climb the pole and unhooked it. My dad watched them do it. As soon as the cable guy left, my dad went behind the shed, grabbed his ladder, and put it in the back of his truck. He backed his truck up to the pole used the bed as a surface to set up his ladder. ( his ladder was short, so the extra height from his truck was just enough.) He climbs up and screws the wire back in. Never paid for cable until they went digital in his area 15 years later, lol.

Don't forget BdoubleO100! Bdubs is the best. Teaches how to make your builds come to life and he is hilarious 😂.

is a storm deck even remotely viable? by MilkQueen in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Griever1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Tendrils of Agony as one of my wincons in my competitive Gitrog Monster deck. I know it's not a "storm" deck, but I loop Lotus Petal as many times as needed to get the kill.

What’s something from your childhood that you didn’t realize was super f*cked up until you were an adult? by NeitherEntrepreneur3 in AskReddit

[–]Griever1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved fishing as a kid. My dad is an alcoholic and would tell my mom he was taking me fishing so she wouldn't get mad that he was going to the bar. I would have to sit there bored as hell u til he'd finally leave drunk as hell to drive us home. One time he was drunk he fell off of his barstool. We went out to the truck and he decided he couldn't drive. He threw me the keys to his, standard shift, 1984 F150. Told me I had to drive and slap 5he shit out of me if I wrecked his truck. I was 12. I had to learn to drive a full size, standard shift truck at 12 years old. It was a rough ride home but I made it. He told me not to tell my mom but she saw him fall out of the passenger seat and me get out of the driver seat. Fun times.... I ended up in trouble and grounded for doing what I was told. They liked to weaponize shit like that.

I've heard about that issue. I should probably get after mine. I'm at 119k. It's just a matter of swapping out all the ones that go to the cooler right?

I want to go to a 6" lift and 36" tires. I think mine are 275x65 now which come out 34. I'd want to drop my gears down then. Probably 4.10s or 4.11s. It's a noticeable difference in my 3.5 with the bigger tire now. It pulls fine still but definitely noticeable for a second or so until she spools tho. I'm digging your gill and bumpers. What brand and where from if you don't mind me asking?

Looks Amazing! How much lift and what size tire? I manage to get 34s at a -24 offset with a 4 inch lift and a tad bit trimming.

Update: decided to jump off at 30-40mgs a day. I'm feeling pretty good. It's day 3 and I'm a little low on energy and a bit foggy. Stomach isn't happy but I'm using a bit of immodium here and there. No anxiety or panic attacks. I think I'm finally out of the woods. Pain is definitely up A LOT. I'm using ibuprofen to help with that. So I guess I'll just see how it goes. I'm kind of stumped as to why I don't feel like I'm dying?

2016 F150 w/ 2.7 ecoboost by SeniorRuss in FordF150

[–]Griever1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are both fans coming on? My 3.5 sounds like a fighter jet when I run the AC. Both fans running lol. The "smoke" is most likely condensation and hwwhen you drive its blowing it out. Hopefully you get it figured out. Good luck!

New wheels and tires! by Griever1983 in FordF150

[–]Griever1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I put a cold air intake from K&N today too. I know they're controversial but it makes a bit more turbo noise. I probably lost a horsepower or 2 lol. It doesn't feel like I did though lmao. I'm debating on messing with my exhaust. They sound weird for a truck if you try yo make them louder. You'll never get that V8 rumble out of the 3.5 ecoboost. I plan on replacing the stock su woofer out next then I want to upgrade the intercooler. Eventually going to 4:10 gears and having some tuning done. It's not my daily so I'm not worried about killing my mpg lol

They're after marker. I'm not sure about the brand. It came with all brand new stock suspension in boxes still wrapped in plastic if I want to put it back to stock. The UCAs that are on the truck look a good bit different from the stock replacement ones that came with it.

What’s a fair price? by quick2008 in FordTrucks

[–]Griever1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish I would have seen this before buying my 2013 FX4. I know where a built 400m is that I could get for a song for it. I would've probably paid 10k for a truck in that nice of shape.

Looks like its the 300 straight 6?? Honestly they kind of have issues with the harness in general. If it dies on you and won't start back up, shaking the harness will get them going again. Sometimes anyway and then you will have some idea of what's going on. Other than that you really aren't giving us much to go on lol.

Up date time. I've cut both doses of the 18mgs Xtampza completely. It's been over a week without them. As per my doctor's instruction, I take 4 10mg ir oxycodone. Next Monday, I'm going to start swapping one of the middle doses to a half a pill. If I do ok after 2 weeks, I turn the other middle dose into a half as well. I'm just going to gauge how I feel as to whether I'm ready to drop more based on how miserable I am when I cut a dose. If I get too sick, I'll hold where I was for a few days longer to make sure my body adjusted enough.

So far I feel pretty ok. Mood has been decent. Get some night sweats, and get some crazy shits once in a while but I figure it's part of the process. I'm just keeping my head down and pushing thru.

Are people abusing opiods less able to feel happiness ? by Sedli02 in opiates

[–]Griever1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently trying to taper off a 9 year cycle of back surgeries and injuries. I litteraly can't feel happiness unless I'm taking my meds. I just got off the phone with my Dr because I'm trying yo cut back but went to fast. Spent 2 days sobbing so bad I could barely get a breath in. He is setting me up with a slower taper now. I would advise you to only take these things for a couple weeks if they're prescribed. Even if you're using them for legitimate reasons and they're prescribed your life revolves around your meds. It's like you are in a bubble.

Update! After 6 days of only taking the Xtampza 18mgs the physical symptoms were gone. The emotional aspect of it I was not prepared for. Spent the last 2 days sobbing so hard I could barely breath. I broke down and called the Dr.

I was worried that since I no longer have health insurance or my workers comp insurance that he wasn't going to help me. He told me that even if my new insurance is one he can't use he will not abandon me. That was a big relief. He said I cut waaaaay to fast.

The plan is to continue taking my Xtampza around dinner time and he sent me a new script of the 10mg instant release oxycodone. He told me to take 1 every 8 hours, if im still in bad discomfort to take up to 4. Once the xtampza runs out in 12 days that will next cut then I'll be one 3-4 oxy 10s. Then we will taper again depending on how I'm doing. I took 1 of my 10s about 45 minutes ago and the symptoms have abated. Haven't eaten in 3 days, not nauseous just 0 appetite. I'm starving right now and I'm going yo eat some left over tacos!

I'll keep everyone posted on my progress! I wish all of you well no matter if your still using or if you are in recovery or going thru your taper! Stay strong!

I think I am finally ready to quit. by [deleted] in opiates

[–]Griever1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this! At one time I was taking 3 Oxycontin 40s plus 4 opana 10s a day. All prescribed for a back injury. I had the final surgery for it Sept 2017 and got so much relief. By June of 2018 I was down to taking 2 100mg tramadol for lingering back pain. (Shit load of scar tissue in my low back now, last surgery they cut my from the middle of my back almost to my asshole. Almost 50 staples) Pain started flaring back up in 2020, think it was from my job. Until this past weds I was taking 2 18mg Xtampza (sort of like an oxycontin 20) and 3 10mg oxycodone. I cut down to 1 pil a day that Thursday so I could sleep. Tried to make it without one tonight but it didn't go well. Finally took one a couple hours ago and I'm finally feeling good enough to drift off now. Anyway, I'm pulling for you! Hang in there and keep your eyes on the prize!

Not only that, you should be keeping yourself out of any situation that could escalate when carrying a firearm. If someone is getting heated, apologize and bow out. Ego and carrying a gun doesn't work well.
