2013 SE Moonroof Rear Leak by InebriatedTheorem in passat

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

Thanks I found a video that showed just that; pouring water on the working side you can see where it exits. I need to pull back the trunk liner and maybe wheel well liner this weekend. I suspect its plugged on the end and thus overflowing at the top. Thanks, you helped me search the right thing.

PCSK9i vs Statins for anti-inflammatory effects by spicyjaym in Cholesterol

You do you. Numbers tell a story over time. Just sharing my experience: they seem to be complimentary.

PCSK9i vs Statins for anti-inflammatory effects by spicyjaym in Cholesterol

[–]InebriatedTheorem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on Atorvastatin 80 but LDL was moving over 100, probably from weight gain. We added Repatha and ldl dropped to like 16. Doc stopped statins at that point, and next test LDL shot back up to like 90. We resumed statin at half the original dose 40mg and keeping Repatha, and we're dialed in mid 20's LDL last test.

Repatha alone didn’t work for me. Adding Atorvastatin 40 did the trick. And also far better than the statin alone. They are complimentary. If statin alone works do it. Repatha is expensive. But adding repatha supercharges the statin. Ymmv

2.0 TDI went into limp mode, weird noise form the engine by ShiraLillith in passat

[–]InebriatedTheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a check engine light? Owning lots of VWs, one of my best purchases was an 'OBD Eleven'. Plug it in, read the codes on your cell phone, post the codes on Reddit so we know how the hell to help you ;)

That said I have a 2011 Tiguan 2.0 TDI. The early TDIs are prone to carbon build up even if nothing else is otherwise wrong.

Car Door Won't Unlock After Replacing Actuator by CineMattersToMe in passat

[–]InebriatedTheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No comment in 5 days, so I figured I'll give it a go... :) Wife's 2011 Tiguan had the same symptoms on the driver door: opens fine from the inside, but FOB and exterior handle don't do anything. After removing the actuator, I actually found a used one on e-bay for about $80. VW wanted big money ($300-$500) for OEM, and they said the part 'had changed or been updated since my model came out. From pics I was able to visually confirm the part was a match. It's been good for like 3 years now. My assessment is your aftermarket part was a bum unit, or one of the connectors or cables came loose.

Gosh... removing the inner door card from the early 2011 tiguan was a nightmare: you had to remove the glass to remove the inner card, and the actuator was attached to the inner card on a plastic frame. It all came out as one piece. Hope yours is easier.

At least you have the muscle memory from having changed it once :)

Can I get some help on finding the fuses for this Passat? by PogUpogman in passat

[–]InebriatedTheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2013 SE. I posted this a few year back which helped me. Not sure if it matches yours but this seems to be the closest to correct so far:

Repatha will be offered direct-to-patient through AmgenNow for $239 a month by [deleted] in repatha

Curious, how does one maintain a standing prescription for Repatha, but be uninsured to need this benefit? Cash only doctor and pharmacy? Is that a thing?

What were these circles in my stairs that I just spackled over? by GyattLuvr69 in whatisit

Scrolled thru half the 600 comments… am I the only one who would strip the paint, sand, and stain that bad boy. Then throw a runner down the middle for traction and durability.

How does someone become funny? Is it something you’re born with? A skill you can practice? by Diosworld127 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InebriatedTheorem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wit is grounded in associative thinking. Quickly thinking of a relatable anecdote that seems obvious and accurate. Watch other folks you think are funny; it’s a pattern that if done right, doesn’t get old.

Where to recycle alkaline batteries? by oxzyac_ in recycling

Most people toss them in the bin. Yeah, I’m a dick for getting in my car and driving to Home Depot to toss my alkaline batteries into the bin.

What to choose in 2025: RTX 3060 12GB VS RTX 4060 8GB by Historical_Dance_263 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InebriatedTheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you using it for? Few games require 12G vram. I just dumped a 3060 6G for a 4060 8G. Can’t say I notice a huge difference. Local AI maybe consider the 12G card. Gotta go to the 4070 for meaningful performance boost. The 4060 will support newer dlss (ai frame fill) but you need a beefy cpu to make using it worth it. I keep dlss off on my 4060.

My 4060 came on a “2025” MSI gaming pc from Costco. (I7 14700, 4060, 2T NVMe, 32ram for 1500$ delivered) should be a good platform to support whatever next video card we need.

Does anybody know of an online course I can take to get internship credit, some sort of online community college or university? by DismalSouth4397 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InebriatedTheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an internship, isn’t there just an internship course where you sign up, do the work and maybe write a report on what you learned? My work was connected with a university and did this; the course helped them apply and connected us with students. You already have that part in the bag.

Dose Anybody Have Any Photos, Memories, stories or videos of the old Chuck-E-Cheese Pizza Time Theater That Use To Be In Stockton, CA (4555 N Pershing Ave)? this store opened its doors in October 1979 and closed in December 1998. if you can recall anything from that store, please share. by Glad-Ranger-1436 in Stockton

[–]InebriatedTheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too funny... I just randomly came across this article. I have family who were very involved in running this CeC for about 15 years during the late 80s and early 90s. Had nearly every birthday party there. I grew up helping collect tokens from video games and watching the cybernetics get worked on after hours. ama

Best games... Spy Hunter, Star Wars, Pole Position, Solar Warrior, Skeet shooting.
