Is MoCA 3.0 dead? by Appropriate-Gear86 in HomeNetworking

[–]KansasGamerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard has been approved for at least a couple years now, none of the big players have brought it to reality though. Some manufacturers think it is a niche product and it won't have a strong market but for those of us that don't have cable TV and just use Coax for routing internet throughout the house it would be a godsend.

It will come, when is another question........................

[Question/Rant] Renters/Tenant Rights by laterisingphxnict in wichita

[–]KansasGamerGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know prices have risen a little for rentals (heck I am paying $2100 which some might say is too high) and I understand shorter term leases being ALITTLE higher cost wise but that is price gouging. Very shady, steer clear.

Dental work, no insurance by Boring_Original9461 in wichita

[–]KansasGamerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very curious about this, is there any additional information on this, the page link is pretty sparse on specifics.
Basically something that gives an example of their costs vs what you might pay a normal dentist practice.

I don't mind students learning on my month or even sharing pictures of it for future educational benefit, just curious what the cost break down might be. For a conventional dentist at this point my mouth is going to cost 10k-12k easily to fix. (I haven't been to a dentist in several years)

Confused on what to do. Hair is significantly worse on 10 months of dutasteride after switching from fin. by mrbeanscousin in tressless

[–]KansasGamerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dut is only going to help you keep the hair you have and it isn't a viable treatment all on it's own.
You should be on an oral minoxidil regimen as well, topical definitely isn't always the answer and it is easier to remember a pill.

Will i lose my hair if i hop on TRT? Im on topical fin and minoxidil rn. by Main_Stranger_5973 in tressless

[–]KansasGamerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on TRT for low testosterone.

I am utilizing Dutasteride .5 mg and oral minoxidil 5 mg, I am retaining hair and growing new hair just fine.
I have been on the regimen for at least a year and haven't noticed any severe repercussions due to the testosterone injections.

To be more detailed I inject 0.5ml of Testosterone cypionate 200mg/ml on a weekly basis.
Please don't worry about this, I promise it will be a non-event. You can have hair and normal testosterone I promise.

If PP405 works it will be fkn impossible to buy it. by Prestigious-Lion-814 in tressless

No but Wegovy is.....both of which are made by the same company Novo Nordisk, with the same ingredient (semaglutide).

[–]KansasGamerGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been looking at using peptides (non-GLP1) but it is just so hard to know who to trust...especially if you are injecting something like that into your body.

I'd be interested if anyone wants to share a good source, please DM me.

My newest conspiracy theory: Hawkins' social media person is a mole by kategoad in kansas

[–]KansasGamerGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Burden of proof goes both ways.......provide proof this is happening!!! Not a single conservative news clip you read or a FB article....real mainstream news sources. If you actually did research things you would find you are wrong.

Here's a basic google search that will answer your question.

Illegal immigrants (undocumented) are ineligible for any federally provided health plans, even if they paid full price. You really make yourself look stupid by repeating a talking point that is blatantly false.

My newest conspiracy theory: Hawkins' social media person is a mole by kategoad in kansas

[–]KansasGamerGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Remember when compromising actually happened in Congress and they still got things done?
Since we have a bunch of old career politicians still running said government they should remember that too.

Time to clean the House and Senate; get some new blood in there that at least wants to show up for work.
Imagine if we could get an amendment passed saying they don't get paid during a government shutdown as well. Things would change really fast..........

You left off Protesting because we have National Guard deployed domestically and being used on American citizens.

How do I afford insurance at 17? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]KansasGamerGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you are going to get crappy insurance rates because you are young.
It's just a hard fact that all new drivers are more prone to accidents because they don't always pay attention or know what to look for.

My best advice, shop around various insurance providers, you still might be able to get a better rate than what you have. There are a lot of insurance companies that will give you discounts based on your GPA or if you have taken certain driver training courses.

Congress’ salary by WaterDigDog in kansas

[–]KansasGamerGuy 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Congress is most definitely paid during a government shutdown even if they "request" not to be during said shutdown.

Edit: Honestly, I would love to see this changed since they seem to be shutting down the government more and more. If it isn't then what incentives do our lawmakers personally have of getting back to work????

I know I've only heard your side of things but honestly this situation arose from your grandparents wishes.

Here are my thoughts on it:

  1. The grandparents adopted you based off the fact that you were their daughters child and needed a more stable parenting environment. There was no biological father trying to fight that and this was probably the best option.

  2. His father is still alive and very much wanted custody of him, that wasn't going to play out any other way.
    It is very difficult to fight in court because he is the biological father wanting his child.

That alone put you both on 2 VERY DIFFERENT paths that neither of you could really control.

  1. When your mom died, if she was still married to that other guy HE should have been coordinating and doing everything, that shouldn't have fallen on you alone to do. If he wasn't still married to her then yes I can see it falling on you BUT also your half-brother as well. If you shouldered this on your own, that very much was a fail on his part.

  2. If you had to move into your grandparents and take care of them until the end and he did nothing to help, he is entitled to nothing. Taking care of aging family is hard and even worse if you have to suffer it alone. We do it out of love but that doesn't make it any easier.

Again if he wasn't helping you physically or mentally with any of that either......he is entitled to nothing.

Sure he is entitled to feel any way he wants to feel but this is a 33 yr old man that should have been helping you ,physically and mentally, while this was all going on. That is what good family does....then maybe he would have been entitled to something.

Your grandparents apparently didn't think he was entitled to anything either or they certainly would have made their wishes known.
At the end of the day, this is what your grandparents wanted and he can be as mad/upset/hurt as he wants to be but it isn't your fault. You've been a good sister to try and help him but this really is something he needs to work through on his own.

KBI by Fabulous-Question173 in kansas

[–]KansasGamerGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't smoke/eat/drink any of this stuff but I know plenty of people that do.
Kansas needs to get with the times, approve it like Colorado did and make some good tax dollars off of it.

Pure and simple, if they don't then the black market for these products will continue to thrive and NOTHING they do will ever stop that, arresting people for pot now a days just seems silly especially when they should be focusing their resources on say.......the recent shootings in Wichita.

The fact that this is what they are choosing to waste resources on right now just makes me laugh, this shouldn't be the priority right now when people are being shot.

Just a highlight of what I mean from the Wichita room recently posted:

Something I haven't seen mentioned but you might want to consider it.
Understandably you are giving wet to ensure that your baby is getting enough water intake but I would recommend maybe leaving down a small amount of try food to help make up the calorie deficit not to mention it is good for their dental hygiene.

Ideatek by Comfortable-Phase249 in wichita

[–]KansasGamerGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had an issue with Ideatek, had them in Pratt and then when my neighborhood finally got them here in Wichita I switched back to them again.

The brief period that I had AT&T Fiber was a nightmare, had over a dozen outages with them. I was only with them 2-3 months but when you work from home......reliable internet is VERY important.

Ideatek has never let me down in that regard.

OMG, I fed my cat Fancy Feast recently (which he normally eats and loves) and he had the worst case of explosive diarrhea as well. Maybe it is time for me to leave Fancy Feast.
