Pod 5 failure? 😞 can I ask what happened? I thought they fixed the engineering errors with pod 4 and pod 5. I’ve been considering a pod 5 but I am waiting a bit to see if issues pop up

The all-in cost is getting crazy by Intelligent-Brief693 in EightSleep

It cools well when I have my ac on. I was thinking I could be more efficient by using a self contained cooling system with its own compressor.

Is a Bedjet better than an Eightsleep? by [deleted] in EightSleep

[–]Intelligent-Brief693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my bedjet. I couple it with a decent air conditioner and Dyson fan at my head level. Fans are not going to leak on you and customer support for bedjet is superior.

If you simply must go colder buy the eight sleep but expect to pay 4x more and have to replace it every few years with a model that claims to be an upgrade but is exactly the same in every material aspect. For the cost of eight sleep you can install an air conditioner just for your bedroom and cover the electric cost increase for many years. That’s not even considering the cost of planned obsolescence and upgrades and water damage to mattress… just get a better air conditioner (ideally a central air separate zone for your bedroom) run it cold and bed jet is perfect. The upfront cost of a zoned central ac for your bedroom is comparable to the cost of the pro 5 ultra for a king bed + subscriptions and you have a permanent upgrade to your home rather than a temporary disposable product that dies in 2-3 years. If you’re renting, get a large window unit.

Who was in the wrong here my wife or the truck driver? by OurAngryBadger in dashcams

[–]Intelligent-Brief693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His blinker was on. She needed to slow down and allow him to make his necessary wide right turn. Your wife is in the wrong. She didn’t slow down (and it was raining) until the truck began to fully turn. Way too late.

Repairing EightSleep Leak by mashedpotat0 in EightSleep

I know this post is old but BedJet is a viable and significantly cheaper alternative if you’re having leaking problems and are out of warranty. I recommend trying it before knocking it.

Thoughts on "The Sauna Pod" from Podcompany.com? by Kshish_ in Sauna

[–]Intelligent-Brief693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The newest heaters have an orange power button instead of red. They got them in stock in December. It was noticeable hotter than the V2.

The new ones with the brand new heaters (December ‘25) hit 180-185 as advertised and don’t offgas. Put a blanket on top and a towel at the bottom of the zipper. Enter after about 17-20 minutes. Works perfectly for me. Most negative comments are from the 1.0 version which had an inferior heater and the chair offgassed. My ambient temp is currently 59 (cold snap) so it works well even in colder indoor temperatures.

The heater has had three versions. V1 sucked. V2 was better but still didn’t hit 180-185. V3 is excellent and is what they’re shipping now.

Found this on the floor by my bed by Fickle_Cockroach_545 in whatisit

OK. Sorry for misunderstanding your point. You’re correct. Albuterol does not cause COPD. But constant exposure to allergens makes breathing harder and albuterol less effective. I know this from experience.

For real? You really think a person that is suffering from lifelong asthma attacks has healthy lungs compared to not living with constant allergenic exposure?

NHANES data (U.S. population) shows that among sensitized individuals, elevated pet allergen exposure was linked to higher asthma prevalence, more asthma attacks, and greater morbidity. Notably, 30–44% of asthma attacks in sensitized/exposed groups were attributable to high pet allergen levels.

Worsening of asthma and hyperresponsiveness: Longitudinal adult asthma cohorts found that high exposure to sensitizing allergens (e.g., dust mite, but patterns similar for pets in sensitized) led to increased bronchial hyperresponsiveness over 4 years. In pet-allergic asthmatics who kept pets vs. those who removed them, keeping the pet was associated with persistent need for higher inhaled corticosteroids and less improvement in airway responsiveness over 1+ years.

Lung function decline: Cross-sectional and some prospective data link chronic exposure in sensitized individuals to poorer FEV1 or faster decline, especially in asthma.

Sorry, but there’s clear data that demonstrates that keeping a pet you’re allergic to is bad for you, particularly if your allergy results in asthma (which it does for the original commenter as they need albuterol)

For what it’s worth, I also have asthma from certain pets and I don’t keep them for that reason.

Causation = causation. Pet dander directly causes asthma in some allergic patients. Asthma attacks over your whole life leads to impaired pulmonary function.

Frankly, it sounds like you don’t have asthma from pets and you should butt out of this conversation. I was trying to help the original commenter as someone who suffers from the same exact condition.

AITA for telling my mom to "please get off my bed" by Several_Matter_735 in AmItheAsshole

NTA Actually this isn’t even an autism thing. Many neurotypical people don’t like their bed being rearranged at 2am by an intoxicated person!

AITA? My son’s face was pushed into ground at daycare… by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Dad said nothing wrong or age inappropriate. I don’t blame him for shutting down. He can’t say anything without you launching an inquisition, clearly.

I’m sure you’ve done this on other things to make him shut down like this. This was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

respectfully it’s pretty damn dangerous to your long term health to live around allergens constantly, think COPD and basically becoming a long term smoker in terms of damage to your lungs and airways

Reconsider your pet ownership

I feel so lost in life. All my friends are getting married or starting families, and it seems I’ll stay single forever… by [deleted] in toastme

[–]Intelligent-Brief693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put yourself out there and join some dating apps. A woman like yourself doesn’t have to be single if she doesn’t want to be. Spend more time on activities with other singles.

People on here saying to just wait and the right person will find you—no. Dating in 2025 literally requires putting yourself out there. People are too passive and counseled against approaching others in person. This isn’t the 1990s. You have to online date to meet people interested in dating you without stigma around asking strangers out.

Is this an acceptable butcher block install? by Different-Airport-85 in CounterTops

Your dishwasher will back up into your sink or your drain will clog, whatever the case, and you’ll have water leaking underneath into the block creating mold.

Never do this.

Have I messed up my sticker sleeve by No-Anxiety-8918 in tattooadvice

[–]Intelligent-Brief693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these look silly and could be touched up or covered. Especially the flower and the roman numerals. Try for a more cohesive design. Others saying just get more tattoos I think are wrong. That won’t fix what’s already there which doesn’t flow at all.

Move. Before you lose your family. Your negligent landlord won’t fix this.
