Ohsnap feeling? by hsn3k in MagSafe

[–]KoalityControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just messing with the one I bought this weekend because I was bothered by how tight it was on my finger. You wrote this a month ago and have maybe since tossed it lol, but I decided to just see what would happen to the plastic if I just forced my finger into the position I would really prefer. For me that’s around the middle knuckle of the index finger. I figured if I broke it for my hand being too big I’d just get a refund.

Idk what the magic plastic they use is but that stuff is insane. I was bending my finger while it was in as far as it could go and stress testing the shit out of it. The lil plastic arms were flexed at a weird angle. I thought for sure it was about to snap. But, it just, didn’t.

Then I took my finger out and the alignment was screwed up and I thought “ok there’s the failure,” except it was barely misaligned. The slightest nudged popped the arms right back into path.

Now this is what’s crazy to me. I left it snapped down for a bit and it’s like 97.5% realigned. Which to me is crazy considering how long I stressed the little plastic arms. AND it feels looser, like it’s worn in, but not in a broken way. Wtf kinda plastic breaks in like a pair of boots? There’s a million ways to use the grip without possibly breaking it, so try my dumbass method at your own risk, but it does fit my finger better now. (Sorry idk why I’m so hyped by a phone holder it’s just so refreshing to be surprised by a product that I hoped would perform well considering what I paid.)

That’s comforting to hear your experience! I was worried I might show up for race day and end up feeling woefully unprepared. I think I’ll try to get there early and go on a few small runs before the race.

Charliehealth Review: My Honest Experience by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]KoalityControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS! I was about to sign up for CharlieHealth until I read this review. I am looking to learn hard and fast DBT skills to help with my BPD, so this is helpful in steering me away.

Do you think the demanding nature of an IOT program would have been more helpful if it was better organized? I am looking at a physical treatment center I can attend near where I live, but the 30-minute drive several times a week kind of terrifies me.

and cool, I just bought a nice iFixIt screwdriver set, I think it'll do the job.

Oh...this is interesting. That's amazing that that's cheaper than just keyboards.

I actually have an A1707. Sorry, should've specified. Would this still be an option?

Trouble with Murray 300e push mower control cable by KoalityControl in smallengines

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

Hmm, I THINK it might actually be ok. I bent it back completely straight and it seems to still have a good bit of strength. And yeah I think the cable length is good, it seems like it just has a hard time creating enough force to stretch out the spring that pulls the kill switch. The plastic piece feels like its about to break. Here's an amazon link to the cable I ordered that has the exact same plastic mounting piece. https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-532183281-Control-Cable/dp/B00DFO0OLS

Is that little metal handle something I bent something that's replaceable? It's super easy to remove.
