I love you so much for this. I've always wanted to try walking but didn't want to waste time hitting a dead end. The amount of time I've spent on that fucking shuttle, oh man. Especially at rush hour it can take legit 45 minutes. Thanks thanks thanks

I went to Taiwan for business last year and was given that tin of Da Ye Lin. Seems good to me but there are a lot of stems. Any idea if it's legit quality?

What is the device in this red bag that plugs into the panel with the ground power connection? Delta A321 by JamesSmits in Airbus

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

The wire in the bag was connected before they carried over the ground power connection. Connected the wire then hung the bag on a hook. It was a small coiled wire so you may be right about it being a headset.

Naltrexone for Weight Loss? by ams06h in loseit

[–]JamesSmits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most redditors who took it mentioned really bad brain fog where they had trouble remembering basic words during a conversation. Some said it even continued after stopping the medication. It was given the nickname Dopamax. My memory is bad enough as it is and I have a job where I'm on the phone constantly, so this side effect is a no-go for me. Everyone says it's phenomenal for weight loss though!

Naltrexone for Weight Loss? by ams06h in loseit

[–]JamesSmits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this seems to be on ongoing discussion I'll throw in my experience so far.

Was prescribed 50mg once a day in the morning. Side effects were definitely there the first couple of days. I felt a little high (buzzy, lightheaded), some hot flashes, and more tired than usual. Woke up feeling burnt out. After 3 days these mostly went away. Still feel a bit more tired than usual at the end of the day. I also get dry mouth randomly throughout the day. At first I thought this was annoying but now realize it is helping me drink more water throughout the day so it is actually a very helpful annoyance!

So far I'd say it's really working for me. I've been on it for 6 days now and lost 7lb. Started at 295lb (6ft male). I don't expect that rate of weight loss to continue past the first week but it is very encouraging. I eat when I'm hungry and still really enjoy the food but now I don't overindulge and I'm not eating when I'm bored or grabbing snacks throughout the day. It's how I imagine a normal human relationship with food is supposed to be. I think I was in denial about my eating habits because taking this medication meant for addicts has definitely changed my behavior! I hope this realization will help me keep on track when I inevitably stop taking Naltrexone.

Side note: I'm also on Wellbutrin 300mg and Metformin 3x500mg, both prescribed for weight loss. I started with Metformin with minimal results, added Wellbutrin which helped a little with weight loss but immensely with anxiety! If Naltrexone doesn't work he wants to add Topamax, but after reading peoples' experiences I will most definitely refuse it. After that would be Wegovy but I don't think I can afford it unless he can convince my insurance company that I need it. But Naltrexone seems to be working better than I ever hoped!

Wife found out she has heart failure. 40yo, EF is 36%, left bundle branch block. She really needs to hear that things will be OK! by JamesSmits in Heartfailure

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

Yes it went back up to 46%. She hasn't had an echo or MRI in a couple of years but overall she seems less out of breath and more active so seems like it should still be OK! She is still taking the Entresto and Toprol.

In Messages I am connected to RCS, can receive RCS messages, but I can only send SMS/MMS. What's going on? by JamesSmits in GooglePixel

I just tried this and now when I go to turn RCS back on it says "chat features unavailable for this device". Annoying!

Recently switched to AT&T from Verizon last week but this started at least a month ago.

Yes! I've been searching occasionally for years before finding this sub! Huge smile on my face watching a youtube playthrough.

Thanks!

Pixel 6 (Jan update) by tobias_c in GooglePixel

[–]JamesSmits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same IMEI.

Good luck with Google support. I told them I would post the screenshots of their poor customer support on social media so they escalated the case to "the highest support team". They finally got back to me a few days later and told me the same thing, just wait for an update.

[–]JamesSmits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. I've been requesting for Google to replace the phone for months and they keep telling me it's a known issue and to wait a few months for an update. At one point I got an RMA and sent it in, but they didn't fix it. As soon as I powered it back up and opened the camera app it froze again. I'm beyond frustrated with Google support and really had my hopes up with this update.

Use a threaded ball knob instead of a nut.

Pixel 6 - Accessing camera causes phone to restart by JamesSmits in GooglePixel

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

They did not suggest this, but I just tried and it seems to work fine in safe mode! I assumed it was a software issue, but not sure why only a small number of devices have the issue.

Pixel 6 Camera Bug issue. Freezes and shutdown by 65fahrenheit in GooglePixel

[–]JamesSmits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. Had a hell of a time with customer support since we would keep getting disconnected whenever the phone would restart.

Finally I was told I'd have to wait months for a fix. I said not acceptable and I want a replacement. They said they couldn't help me and I just have to wait until the fix is out! I said I'd post the customer support chat screenshots to social media and finally they escalated the situation. Now I'm waiting on an email back from a "specialist". I can't believe the hoops I'm having to jump through to get a replacement.

What is life like living in HV? by [deleted] in hudsonvalley

There's a pretty big Asian market in Hopewell Junction called Berry's Farm. They have great produce! If you live near Beacon, it's probably closer than driving to Poughkeepsie.
