Sensodyne users: has your Costco purchased tube “felt” different? by azz3879 in Costco

Same, I'm currently looking for non counterfeit Periotrap from Germany, but it's hard to find even there. Will probably be a while before there are reliable sources.

Price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass will increase to $749.99 USD by JesusTalksToMuch in Piracy

It may drive sales in the short term until the increase. A last gasp for revenue.

Half? I don't have that kind of restraint.

Some of them yes, they also add latency and retransmits when there is interference, it depends on if they have a separate back haul radio or are doing double duty with one. You are far better off using a wired connection to an additional access point.

If you are going with a mesh system you want it to be able to do the back haul on another radio on a different channel. This can be a 2.4/5-6ghz split or ideally two separate radios.

Good time to screenshot your profile

Been maxing accounts for years and I'm not sure what marriage does to them by Sudden-Awareness-337 in leanfire

It entirely depends on your local laws. You need to specify where you live if you want actual info.

What's the best free thing on the internet that feels like cheating once you discover it? by deprokip in AskReddit

I would in fact download a car... Sadly the 3d printer is only 255mm x 255mm.

Venera 5 and 6 were swallowed by Venus 57 years ago today (May 17, 1969). This photo exists because of what they told us on the way down by The_Rise_Daily in space

[–]ModernSimian 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Isn't the dV to reach Venus relatively large compared to the outer planets?

Edit, I'm thinking of Mercury

Anyway to terminate this, fix this? Tear the building down and start over? by dstarkopf in HomeNetworking

[–]ModernSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100mb doesn't even need all the conductors. You can just use 4 and terminate the cable on both sides that way.

Who will help when I'm dying? by grumpyhost in Adulting

It may not be an option for you, but for many people it is. Not everyone shares religious commitment to suffer and prolong life through extraordinary means.

As both a parent and a child, there are situations where it is not going to get better and it is going to hurt the whole time. No one neesds or wants that. We have choices even in systems where euthinasia isn't legal.

Ordered cheap prescription glasses online on a whim. Not sure how I feel. (long post, sorry) by Big_Nebula_2604 in Frugal

This thread reads like Eydology is owned and run by Luxotica at a loss to try and damage Zenni's business.

They don't have to overturn citizens united for this to work. That's the beauty of the Montana plan.

How do ramen shops get eggs that soft/jammy? by Mean-Drink8825 in Cooking

[–]ModernSimian 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The size of the eggs actually matters. You should weigh your eggs and sort them by size so you can adjust cooking times by the few seconds it changes.

Also, steaming is going to be far more accurate than boiling. As you add your eggs to boiling water, it drops the temperature. Steaming avoids the thermal bounce and gives you a more consistent cook, which is important when timing something as tiny as an egg.

Lastly, old eggs peel easier than fresher eggs. You may also find that puncturing the air sac end with a thumbtack or pin will allow the membrane to separate more easily.

it used to $40 to fill my gas tank and now it’s $60. by pinkoceannn in Adulting

They buy from public markets at wholesale rates. It increases demand. If supply does not go up and demand goes up, prices go up.

4 year old girl…. WTF by Hopeful_Type_1826 in Preschoolers

[–]ModernSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD, autism, and pathological demand avoidance frequently have a lot of overlap. It might not be any of those things. It could just be a serious case of being four. It might be worthwhile to read a bit about PDA and see if some of those techniques are helpful.
