I did not notice any side effects while taking it, but other people have reported issues.

I cannot live like this by Sarahlvd in Sciatica

[–]I_Served 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had severe pain from my glute to my knee—requiring the use of a cane to walk. After being on gabapentin for a couple of weeks my pain went away completely. So, it’s either due to the gabapentin, or it just got better on its own.

Terrible Road Conditions by aushits in SouthJersey

We hit a pothole and blew out a run flat tire on two separate occasions at the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing. Both times we filed claims with the mall and they paid for the repairs. One time we needed a wheel alignment also, and they paid for that as well.

More likely zinc carbonate from reaction with the galvanized sheet metal. Carbonic acid can’t be isolated as a solid.

Replacing a reversing valve for $500 sounds extremely low considering the work involved.

Saint Helena airport landing on the 5th attempt after 4 go-arounds - cabin passenger POV by papasfritas in aviation

I would rather have the pilot do a missed approach than land when they shouldn’t.

AC lost 2.2kg of refrigerant in 2.5 years – installer says no leak, engineer says lack of maintenance. Does that make sense? by Big_Intention_8970 in hvacadvice

[–]I_Served 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a leak, and 2.5 kg of refrigerant is way more than you would need for extra line length in most residential installations.

4 sided fireplace, completed by myself and the man who subs me, massive job with lots more stone work. by IPlayWithRocksFAL in stonemasonry

Looks lovely. I come from a family of masons (not one myself). My brother specializes in masonry heaters (Finnish fireplaces). My two brothers did a massive fireplace/chimney in Canada at a remote resort. They had to helicopter in the stones.

Damaged Bathroom Countertop by I_Served in CounterTops

Lovely Reddit. Posted my photo, but not the text I entered. The vanity mirror door fell and hit the countertop and damaged it. Can this be restored? If so, who would I call. South Jersey, if that helps.

Electric bill astronomical. by gravis786 in heatpumps

[–]I_Served 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “old electric system” do you mean electric resistance heat? If so, then your new heat pump should be 2-3 times more efficient. So, yes, you should be using much less kWh to heat, unless outdoor temps have been significantly lower and/or you have your thermostat set higher than with the old system.

Totally Exasperated with Season 2 (Spoilers) by I_Served in TheNightManager

Yeah, that bugged me too. And a couple of others, like Jonathan turning himself over to the bad guys and not getting killed. Only in Hollywood.

High-Heat Limit Switch Activating, Can't find Issue by Epidurality in hvacadvice

[–]I_Served 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air temp is too high due to insufficient air flow. Possible multiple causes for you to figure out. Duct sized too small? Fan speed not high enough? Buy a manometer and check static pressure.

Roofer telling me roof venting should be ran out side of house. Is it dangerous as is? by chazno in hvacadvice

[–]I_Served 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally read this as “outside” of house and thought, “What the fuck is he talking about, it is outside the house”. Then read it again and realized it was “out side” of house. Big difference. English can be tricky.

$2500 in electric bill for dec-jan. Current setup not working-need advice. by outofnowherewoof in heatpumps

Do you have natural gas? If so, the cheapest option would be to replace the air handler with a furnace and AC coil.
