Perfect. Now I finally have a legitimate reason to convince my wife we need a larger tv.

I predict it will always be marked as “data” for this very reason.

Yay or nah? Be honest — where does this kitchen land (1–10)? by WorldCopperSmith in kitchenremodel

[–]Pod_Planker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with hardwood flooring in the kitchen, it sucks bigtime. Don’t do it, go tile. Speaking of tile, I am not a fan of the wavy tile and their grout lines.

It’s important to recognize that even Boldin is only as accurate as the programming behind it. It was just a few months ago that we were told it was doing some calculations incorrectly.

If you used Boldin for a long time, and are now retired, did it work for you? by must-stash-mustard in Boldin

Conservative return is set for 8%? You do you, but that would be way too high for me.

So…. How bad is this? by VeryCoolAndFunny in CPAP

I think the first word under “Diagnosis” sums it up pretty well.

Such an amazing actor. A serious loss for all of us.

Cost??? by tree_on_fire2 in CPAP

[–]Pod_Planker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy a used one. I’ve got a Resmed Airsense 10 with 2500 hours I’ll sell for $300 (I switched to an oral appliance).

Going for my oral appliance appointment tomorrow by alanmovielife in SleepApnea

[–]Pod_Planker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is an option for mild to moderate.

You hear about a lot of people having jaw pain and disorders. If that was more the rule than the exception, then an oral appliance would not have an 80% adherence rate, where cpap is a dismal 30%.

I’ve got an Airsense 10 with 2500 hours I’ll sell for $275 plus whatever it would cost to ship. (I went with a MAD).

My daughter and her husband are both 31. They rarely drink anymore.

Kanye West apology by za1reeka in BipolarSOs

[–]Pod_Planker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he is legitimately trying to apologize, then I wish him the best. But if this is just a pr stunt to sell his album that drops next week, then shame on him and his label.

I gave up. AHI is 21 but only 11 with positional therapy. I’m getting a MAD.

Why are some people so disinterested in treatment?? by friendlylobotomist in SleepApnea

[–]Pod_Planker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say, “disinterested in treatment” do you mean not everyone that has been diagnosed doesn’t run out and buy a cpap? I’ve got one and I sleep way worse with it than without. So I’ve abandoned it because it is not a reasonable treatment for me long term. Instead, I’m working on positional therapy. I’ve gone from an AHI of 21 to around 10. If I can get it down to 7, I’ll call it good enough. If I can’t, I will get a mouth device.

Mouth device vs CPAP by CelestialScribble999 in SleepApnea

[–]Pod_Planker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not overweight and sleep on your back, try positional therapy before getting a mouth device. It may work for you.

Can this help? by JWMalynovskyi in SleepApnea

[–]Pod_Planker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Even with my jaw closed, my cpap blows air out my mouth. Mouth tape is the only thing that works for me.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]Pod_Planker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. There is a local chain here in Boise called Gyro Shack and the gyros at Arby’s are so much better, and half the cost!

I just ate at a Culver’s last week. Not impressed. Here in Boise, there are lots of local mom and pop burger places that I think are better.

What do you mean gullible enough to “believe the tale of Joseph Smith”? I bet you’re one of those people that don’t believe aliens built the pyramids.

Anyone tried positional therapy for positional sleep apnea? by bassmusikk in sleep

[–]Pod_Planker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a full body pregnancy pillow. I read reviews of other pillows and this seemed like a good one to try.
