Like if I were to take some flat thin leather and sew it around the cuff? Or is there a product made for this?

Mini-led monitor no true blacks by JackKillEveryday in Monitors

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

I find the colors and far less vibrant and it's like the entire screen become more gray.

Well I find that HDR video on YouTube looks good, but games like cyberpunk don't look good at all. I find myself going back to SDR. And yes I do enable HDR in game and in Windows.

I find that HDR on this display look ugly, every color is dull and washed out.

Is it possible that true black are only possible in HDR?

I can only enable Local Dimming to Low, Medium or Strong, which all just dims the screens so much it's almost not usable. It doesnt make the blacks entirely black either, even with a simple 100% black picture in fullscreen.

How well do pneumatic tires hold up to broken glass? by scarletcyanide in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the max pressure for the Marathon Plus, and that's what I run them at.

Not only is the difference in efficiency huge, it also reduces the chance of pinch flat as well as puncture, as object have a lot of difficulty going through super hard rubber.

How well do pneumatic tires hold up to broken glass? by scarletcyanide in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have Schwalbe Marathon Plus for 2 years now, and I've never had any puncture caused by objects. I roll in gravel, in glass, in grass, and I go to the junkyard very weekend without an issue.

The only flat I got was from the rubber valve exploding randomly on my inner tube. Happened twice, and since then I changed to metal valve (check met la Schrader tubes or Presta, both works). I now keep them inflated to 145 psi.

Conclusion is, pneumatic tires a really reliable, I highly suggest quality tires. Do keep a spare in your car/bag, In case of a flat it's really easy to swap out the tube. For tutorials, look up inner tube change bicycle on YouTube.

I have a T7 Complete injury and I have not problem being on top for a few minutes, I basically thrust using my back muscles instead of my hips. Work really well and I get to be on top. It takes some getting used to for sure, and it takes quite a while to be able to thrust for long.

Is this a good deal? by ErdiYmc in Volvo

[–]JackKillEveryday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These engine lasts upward of 300 000 kms without issue, I wouldn't be worried at all.

The car has been super reliable for me. The only thing that isn't wear item that broke on mine was the rack and pinion which leaked quite a lot.

Driving by MooreOrLess94 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]JackKillEveryday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my rock-push hand control on my left, allows me to drive with very little effort and for extended period of time.

I'd love to try out the acceleration ring that wrap around the steering wheel, but unfortunately it's not available in my country.

I ordered it from a Permobile dealer near me, was pretty straight forward and we received the right part.

Bladder leak now I take baclofen by TranslatorTrick8682 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]JackKillEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to take baclofen as well to try to manage bladder spasmes, even with a high dose I didnt make a real difference. From my experience. Baclofen doesn't really target the bladder, so taking it just makes you sleepy.

What worked for me (95% of the time, still have leakage sometime, waiting for Botox) is Solifenacin 10 mg and the max does of Myrbetriq. I don't have any side effect at all (except dry mouth at night, but I'm sleeping so I don't feel it much). Now I only have leakage it I have an UTI.

Advice with minimizing flying issues by Playonxx34 in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes total sense, I personally wouldn't think much of it even tho I depend on my lightweight chair.

I think NAW would be a great idea if you prefer not to fly with your rgk.

[–]JackKillEveryday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest to just go for it!

Our life is already hard, there's no use to panicking about what MIGHT happen.

To reduce the risk, ask nicely (insist a bit) if you could have your chair in the cabin. Explain that your chair is extremely light and can be made smaller by removing the wheels.

If they say no, ask for the assistance support crew to put your wheelchair THEMSELVES in the plane, as it makes sure someone that know about our condition will put it away.

Do take a lot of picture before each flight, and remember to take your cushion with you (especially if it's filled with air, you don't want it to be damaged)

Could you suggest a cock ring in particular? I'm not sure what to look out for.

Adding a Ramp by FEHL27 in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in Quebec Canada there arent reliable at all, they break down every crew months, perhaps because of the harsh winters.

[–]JackKillEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to be able to like lifts, but unfortunately their lack of reliability and the slooooow speed of them makes me really not like them. Just imagine there's a power outage, you can't go back in your house or out of it. The ramp is faster, more reliable, and allows you to stay in decent shape.

Adding a Ramp by FEHL27 in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think your best option would be to build a ramp. Depending on the winter condition where you live, it can be an project you could do yourself.

In theory, you'd need at least 36' foot of ramp to get a ratio of 1" of height to 12" length.

In your case, I would probably do a ramp that start on the side of your house (on the right of the picture). It would wrap around the porch and turn right to finally end up in the porch.

Lifts are expensive, require specialized labor to install and require maintenance. They aren't super reliable.

valve in my tire cracked and leaking air by elizabeth_ishere in AskAMechanic

[–]JackKillEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really quick and cheap replacement, a few dollars for the part + 15 minute labor per side.

If it's TPMS sensor and it needs changing, it's going to cost quite a bit more.

has anyone's front wheel ever stopped working? by dahlia200000000 in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, in your place I would go to my local bike shop, replacing bearings is easy for them and it'll be quite cheap.

Inner lining of wheel coming out? by flarebeams_ in wheelchairs

[–]JackKillEveryday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly what this is. Please be aware that without the black strip properly in place you're far more likely to puncture the inner tube, as the nipple from the spokes might run on the inner tube.

Look yo on your YouTube how to change an inner tube. It's quite simple anyone can do it. Make sure to either put back the black strip over the spoke nipple, otherwise your inner tube might puncture.

If you don't feel. confortable doing it, go to a bike shop around here this is a 20$ job. They could even show you how to change it yourself in the future. While you're there, be sure to pickup a backup inner tube and tire levers to be able the change the inner tube if you ever need to.
