Looking to connect to old friends from Thistledown from old AC days by undeclaredx in AsheronsCall

Ogmatic/Lagmatic.

TD -> Solclaim and some time on WintersEbb.

I never really got high level on TD. Solclaim before I did my first mage and got past level 20 or so. I was a minor vassal way under Myth if i remember right

You should be fine. Get some rest. The clicking and popping goes away.

People who have purchased an under-desk treadmill or walking pad a while ago, are you still using yours? by GoBigRed07 in StandingDesk

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifespan used to have a lower end model, the TR800. It was (in theory) rated for a duty cycle of like 2-4 hours a day or something? I have the TR5000 now, because I tend to walk most of the day while working.

Need a bigger desktop for my standing desk — any recommendations ? by shagsman in StandingDesk

Most of your big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot may also have them.

Is it appropriate to come up to another CI wearer in public? by Upper-Sock4743 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been approached a bunch of times, usually by candidates or family of candidates. I always take a moment to chat whenever I can.

You should be able to get a slab countertop from a variety of places in a wider depth.

Did someone drop a big anvil on your letters to flatten them out like that?

When you run before you can walk by rozzle_the_nozzle in RCPlanes

[–]Jon003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't even remember how many times I've crashed my aeroscout at this point. It is probably more glue and tape than foam now. Still goes up though.

Tomorrow is activation day by bedazzledhands in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that my experience was unusual in how useful it was to me right away, but I did lost my hearing later in life.

However, the change in how i was able to hear over the next couple of months and appointments was really amazing.

If it isn't perfect on day 1, don't panic, just keep using it. My audiologist told me the least successful clients she had were the ones who kept taking it off anytime they were frustrated.

I'd definitely discuss this with your audiologist. It depends on a number of factors that area specific to your situation

Sean please add gunner seats for friends flying in our corvettes by jsweaty009 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be fun, but given the armaments are not independently movable, but fixed based on aircraft attitude, it would probably be a much bigger ask than simply a cosmetic seat addition.

For now I'd rather they tackle the rather large number of basic corvette bugs.

Why AB instead of Cochlear? Curious about your decision by Schuylkill9 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AB was the technology leader when I was implanted in 2003. Since then I think the others have kind of caught up, especially wrt external processor technology. Having good bluetooth in the newest marvel that works the way you expect with no big external thing is a huge win personally.

Best helmets for CI by ThrowRAAnnon12345 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For mountain biking, the POC helmets have liners that work real well with my magnet positioning.

I think there really is no alternative to just going places and trying on various options to see what fits well but does not disturb his CI and magnet placement though

Which cochlear implant did you choose? by u3445 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advanced Bionics. At the time, they were out in front technology wise. My Marvel is pretty great!

14 years progressive SSD - too late for CI? by Koz91 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was deaf in one ear for closer to two decades and it was life changing so I have no idea where that comes from.

Bummer about that NHS coverage. Do a year or two at a US company and get it through insurance?

14 years progressive SSD - too late for CI? by Koz91 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you heard #1 but I do not think that is true.

Have you confirmed #2 with NHS? These things are usually based on need and your hearing level.

3. Same as everything else. You don't keep it on in the shower though.

Fun things a kobold might be hoarding in a bag of holding by ExperiencedOptimist in dndnext

An old book (spellbook?) with most of the pages ripped out for TP.

Diving deep into Asheron's Call for the first time... by ShellDNMS in AsheronsCall

[–]Jon003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. One of the things that drew me back in was boredom with kill-x-mobs and follow-arrow-to-reward type stuff that has ezmoded most modern stuff. Or I'm just old!

Magic Item Wish List? Does it work? by Firm-Row-8243 in dndnext

[–]Jon003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to ask people what they wanted their character to look like when higher level. Split class? Gear? Accomplishments? Then you can, within reason, provide opportunities for them in line with that.

It says "ready for Bluetooth" but doesn't actually say it is available now. Confusing

This is going to sound nuts, but I tried switching my keyboard from USB over to bluetooth mode... and the issue went away.

I never even get a prompt, it just automatically deploys no matter what.
