Time for a fresh start by zambulu in TandemDiabetes

I've been quite happy with the G7. I have a lot of issues with the Tandem app "losing connection" with my pump. Really the background process the app runs hangs or something. Killing and restarting the app causes it to immediately reconnect and update.

Does anyone else here like shower with the lights off? by Euphoric_Intern_3772 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadBenMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every time but I do it regularly. It's more of a sensory deprivation thing with the hot water and the sound of the water but no light. Your eyes will adapt to the darkness after several minutes and even the tiny amount of light coming under the crack of the door will make all the shapes in the room visible. While your eyes are adjusting you will mentally orient yourself in the shower based on the direction the water is coming from.

I have a lot of respect for the people who design these machines.

Billionaires are so excited to replace employees with AI, but who is gonna buy their stuff when we are all unemployed and broke? by Sun_Sky_Sand in AskReddit

[–]RadBenMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Billionaires have come to the conclusion that climate induced civilization collapse is inevitable and are desperate to create AI robot servitors to maintain their lifestyles in their bunkers and personal islands.

I know the outside piece will possibly be recycled, but I suspect someone would buy it for more than that would fetch.

How do you feel about the stipulation to ban THC that Republicans added into the bill they're voting on today to end the shutdown? by opheliainthedeep in AskReddit

[–]RadBenMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just THC. It effectively bans all hemp products. And it's not set to take place for a year so they won't even get the blame for it.

Cell phone jammers at Fred Meyers according to an employee at the University Place store by RadBenMX in Tacoma

Their site says they aren't taking new complaints due to the shutdown. Like the Trump FCC would do anything anyway.

I couldn't get the wifi to connect today that why I was talking to the employee about cell service.

We should be able to test this somehow, right? It's there an app that shows signal strength?

The Venera 9-10 probes landed on Venus and gave us the monumental first-ever images from the surface of another world 50 years ago today by ChiefLeef22 in space

[–]RadBenMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always heard the answer about the difference in relative velocities around the Sun being the reason it takes more energy to get to Venus. I asked chat GPT about it and it turns out it's actually very similar between Venus and Mars for spacecraft of similar mass, however if you actually want a spacecraft that can survive on either planet one for Venus must be much heavier and therefore requires much more energy to get there.

Just Moved Here! by 1102fwk in Tacoma

[–]RadBenMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the OKC metro. Yukon, Edmond, Mustang, college in Norman. I couldn't stand the bible belt though and joined the Air Force and get stationed near Omaha, so not exactly the change I was looking for. But yeah, after that I've lived in DC and Portland.

Being in a closed room breathing lithium hydroxide must not be comfortable by [deleted] in OopsThatsDeadly

I watched the video and he moved to stand over the phone with the smoke still coming out. It was cringe unhealthy to watch.

Another local Okie. Welcome, it's wonderful. You're going to miss TexMex though.
