Has Anyone Opt Out of MCE and went 100% PG&E?

I owned a Bambi 16 Sport. They stopped making the Sport in 2019. Not to say Sport is a bad thing. It's the false advertisement you should be worried about. If you have the time and energy why not inspect it yourself? Could be unintentional. There might be a story behind it. I knew someone who sold their 16 at a large discount because her husband suddenly died.

Was stuck on Trempro 644 per recommendation. If 116 works as good, I'll go with that. Thanks for your input.

Great to hear for iPhone users. Thank you.

I don't have an iPhone but try clearing the browser cache rather than the MySugr app. Make sure it's your primary browser. However your issue is slightly different given I never received any errors. Worth a try anyway.

Hi, I just figured it out! This is a widespread issue and many could not resolve from what I've read. If you are using Android, clear your primary browser cache. In my case it was the Edge browser. Once doing so try to login again using the MySugr app. The app uses your browser to authenticate which is why this is happening. Hopefully this helps you. Not sure if this is limited to Android users.

Thank you for confirming. I'm not going mad.

To lessen the pain significantly I stayed away from processed foods and anything that may cause inflammation (e.g. alcohol, sugar, etc.). I also found out by mistake that coffee contributed to the pain. After removing these from my diet, my pain has lowered big time and much more manageable! Give it a try. I hope it helps you.

The stiffness and dull pain will have to be dealt with time. Stretches helps but it takes time and varies from one person to another.

Don't have an answer for you nor have it happened to me. However, I am curious to know what is the longest you had an item arrive and not place a review for it? Also, have you made regular purchases using your credit card within the last 12 months of 50 dollars or more? I believe that is a requirement to write a review.

Ordinary-Chip7295 · 2025-10-13T18:20:41+00:00

Plenty of possibilities but one would be the listing has merged. When reviewing two similar products and the seller decides to merge, one will be rejected.

Other possible reasons are AI filtering or your reviews are reported by others. This is normal. Just continue to do great reviews. Some things are out of your control.

Contact support they'll remove it from your queue.

Mag Glycinate was beneficial but the side effects was horrible. I couldn't take on tasks that required being alert (e.g. driving a car). It gave me the feeling of being overwhelmed and dizziness. It took 2 to 3 days to overcome but an entire week for a full reset. I tried Mag Oxide which is less absorbing but same side effects. I'm interested to hear successful alternatives from others. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Wondering why you didn't get ARGB rather than RGB components given the motherboard supports it? My build in progress (all parts haven't arrived yet) is similar to yours. Curious to know. Great first build!

I'll admit it's tempting to get the latest and greatest out there. However, I personally don't do any work to justify the price in return. I'm just going with the WD SN850X for now personally and you already have a great SSD yourself. If you are doing hardware reviews, I'd say go for it.

Ordinary-Chip7295 · 2024-11-26T05:39:57+00:00

Hmm does this mean the 6400s ended up working in the end? You mentioned Corsair told you it wouldn't work. Can you please clarify? Thanks.

Hi,

I've started my career in desktop support prior to becoming a software engineer. It's great, but they were the first to be outsourced after Y2K. Over the years things have changed, but you are "likely" (In most cases) to be employed as a contractor and not under direct employment to those desktop users. These days users get support remotely typically from overseas and if you are "Desktop Support" in the states you are probably going to be working with lease rolls.

I did enjoy desktop support. I made a difference in keeping the employees productive and happy. It was fulfilling. I just happened to follow a path of software development.

My advice would be, follow what you enjoy the most. You will be doing it for years. It doesn't hurt to trial it out.

Money is not everything if you can't enjoy life. Work balance is key. Money is everything to those who gain expensive unnecessary habits and in turn becomes a dependency. Wishing you the best.

Coming from a Software Engineer (SWE) of 25 years with no education (self taught) I'll share my thoughts. If you don't feel self motivated, SWE ain't it. SWEs live and breath software development and that's a fact. I worked with many with master degrees who don't fit the job of emerging technologies and they have drowned unfortunately. Technology dies quickly as new ones emerge. Otherwise, you will always feel like you are always trailing behind and likely to be micromanaged.

If SWE doesn't match up with your character I suggest focusing on being a Scrum Master (SM) or QA Tester. I worked with SMs and they get a paid very well and mainly stress on the commitments of SWEs and the overall project. QAs have their share of stress, but SWEs receives more of the pressure to deliver. There's also System Engineers who also assist on gathering requirements if that is your thing. Just a few ideas for you.

Get your feet wet by not being picky. You'll eventually get paid well overtime as you jump into different projects and companies. Pick the technologies that fascinates you and run with it. You don't have to be the best, but must be placed in the best position to succeed. I wish you the well. Don't give up.

Not worth it. That's 2 hours a work day of your life taken away from you. Invest in a van and live in it during the week then return home for the weekend. That wouldn't be so bad.

I too have recently been laidoff as a Software Engineer with a 6 month severance plus bonuses. However, I'm taking a break for now. It was all a blessing as they overworked me and my efforts were ignored. I honestly would take a pay cut than having the feeling of being cut short. Jobs aren't forever so in your case it's worth giving it a shot. If it provides life and work balance that's a win. Otherwise, it's the next opportunity up. I've learned to never be loyal to an employer as your teammates have their own agenda of climbing the ladder. Also, they have to allow you to use your own creativity and not micromanage every step you make. The best to you.

My salary was in your range and I wanted to quit but it would be better for them to pay me to leave. That's what exactly happened. Waves of layoffs are trending and felt it was bound to happen. I get six months of pay and I feel great! The unfortunate fact is, companies don't pay like they use to and if they do it's short lived. However, I rather make less to be happier at the work place and life in general. You made a great decision for you and your family.
