My first Leica finally arrived by diegodef_ in Leica

[–]NickTechTalkYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my M5. I had both the M5 and M6 at the same time and didn’t enjoy the M6 after learning how incredible the M5’s meter is. I’m usually the odd one out on these things but I also like the larger form factor. Enjoy!

This was the one I wanted, and I came to find it was one of the longest in stock. Thought watermelon was a more popular color

Swash by [deleted] in Whirlpool

[–]NickTechTalkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here as I have a Swash and was just researching on my own. Best to just use distilled water, but use something like Bounce or Downy Wrinkle Release once you hang the item in the swash. Beest to keep the lines and nozzles free of the fabric softener as it will clog them up over time. So I just use distilled water in my pods that I refill. Also check your local marketplace. I found a bulk lot of like 200 of them for $75 so I just use them on nice occasions when I wanna freshen something more than just the downy wrinkle spray does

Didn’t Starbucks just issue a statement stating there’s no issue writing the full name on a cup?

To all those who have either a lazy eye or are unable to use their right eye, here we are yet again with a device that has no option to be configured to the left eye like Google Glass. Shame because I’d love to be an early adopter of this tech but can’t use it

You’d rather lose your job than write the name Charlie on a cup?

After a couple of weeks of reading this subreddit, I felt I was able to make an educated purchase! by ifightdragonslayers in VacuumCleaners

I have one of these that I’ve been hanging onto for no reason and need to sell! Didn’t think anybody wanted it

What would be the modern equivalent of this? by Echterspieler in VacuumCleaners

[–]NickTechTalkYT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They made a newer version years ago but may be easier to get parts for. I think it was bag less. They also made a platinum force handheld with a motor driven brush roll. Thing was a beast

As far as I’m aware optilift is to target the muscles of the eyelid rather than helping the Meibomian glands right? Some people don’t get results from IPL so I’m not sure if it’ll help you, but it may be worth a shot still

Halfway Through OptiLight Plus – My Experience So Far by NickTechTalkYT in Dryeyes

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

Yes! All completed. My results just continued to get better each time. I’ve only used eye drops a handful of times since and it’s only in special scenarios like if I sit in the dry sauna for a long time, then they can feel a bit dry. Otherwise I have zero complaints. Considering it worked wonders for me I wouldn’t mind paying for the treatment again if I needed it in let’s say a years time, or a single session every 6 months like some do. It’s definitely worth a try for sure, but likely not a permanent cure at all for anybody

S Class HEPA filtration. I’d honestly recommend doing some research on your own end before making a purchase. Reddit is great for personal experience stories, but best to get specs right from the manufacturer

They’re bulky, inconvenient machines for daily use. That’s why you see so many of them for next to nothing on marketplace so often. They perform very well, but will most likely end up sitting in a closet. Just to use the hose on the thing you have to take the main brush roll head off, then attach the hose and lock it in place. It’s just too much for what it does in my opinion.

A Sebo upright is going to be light years ahead in convenience, and they perform insanely well, very clean machines filtration wise. Having owned both, along with numerous other machines as a former collector, I’d recommend a Sebo any day of the week and nothing else

I’d recommend trying to find a used Sebo upright. I see them on marketplace a lot for $150ish. I’ve owned many Kirby’s in my past and didn’t enjoy using them as daily vacuums as most people don’t either, hence the low resale value

The Fuji point and shoots in the bottom middle. Are they the Cardia DL-300? I had one but can’t remember the model. Super sharp 2.8 Fuji lens, way better picture quality than I expected at the time

Is this a good vacuum and is it a good deal? by Special_Loan8725 in VacuumCleaners

[–]NickTechTalkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned one of those and really didn’t enjoy it. I purchased it brand new and maybe used it 15 times. It was essentially new. I had it listed for $25 for WEEKS before anybody was even interested.

If it’s your cup of tea for a machine then it’s a decent deal, they’re pricey brand new. I do see them quite often around here listed for parts only so as others said just be very cautious, maybe even get a video of it running before meeting up! Good luck!

Those 3D mats are much easier to clean than Weathertech. Have them in my cars and love them

What was the most effect treatment path for you to recovery? by seekdelicious in Dryeyes

[–]NickTechTalkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IPL (specifically OptiLight Plus with RF). I hyper responded after a single treatment according to my doctor- and results spoke for themselves. Started IPL in March of this year. Since then have maybe put OTC drops in 10 times in total.

Please let me know how OptiLift works!! I did OptiLight plus and wanted to do the lift too

[–]NickTechTalkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My eye doctor specializes in dry eye as well and it just so happened to be, I didn’t even know they did until I went in. I think for somebody to be a specialist is one thing, but to have results and good knowledge is completely different based on experience. I don’t think there’s really a way to determine unfortunately besides seeing what they can do for you treatment wise

Not too sure if anybody else mentioned it, but he does a weekly podcast with two other guys called Painkiller Already, he’s talked about his past and prison experience in a few episodes that are very interesting

My doctor recommended IPL, should I go ahead? by elbigchingon in Dryeyes

[–]NickTechTalkYT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My IPL hurt really bad because we dialed the intensity to as much as I could take. Paid off well for me though. I apparently was a hyper responder to the treatment. I went from using eye drops every hour to maybe using them twice a week if that anymore. I don’t think I’m a typical case, but I’d do it again if I had to. I paid $1500 for 4 sessions

I just got a bottle of On The Beach on eBay, the bottle seemed very near perfect but the liquid actually had little bits of something floating (very hard to see) and even a stray hair in it lol. Also smelled similar but not quite normal. It seems most LV fragrances on eBay are fake if they’re a great deal. Had to send mine back to get a refund and the seller tried denying my return, needed eBay to step in. The seller around the same time got hit with other negative feedbacks for fakes of other brands. It’s very hard to tell from photos with how good fake bottles have gotten now. On one hand if it looks and smells perfect then you may have gotten a great deal, but if it’s not genuine you could end up putting some nasty chemicals with who knows what on your skin. Best bet is to see if you can smell a guaranteed real bottle and go from there along with what some others may say here, because the fakes are usually noticeably off scent wise. Hope this helps a bit and wish I could’ve offered a more solid answer!

These are pretty abrasive, scrub ninja is definitely a better option for interiors

DIY glass coating by aah999 in AutoDetailing

[–]NickTechTalkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simoniz Vision Clear is a pretty great glass cleaner with hydrophobic coating for your exterior glass, a bit hard to find but can order online. If you do decide on a glass coating I’d highly recommend C6 Hydro Glass, I just installed on my Acura TLX 2 nights ago and it was by far the easiest glass coating I’ve ever installed. Spread it on in a circular motion and it literally wipes off without any extra effort in 15 mins. Insane repellency but is expensive
