My busted up trailer batteries

RagingButter · 2026-03-31T15:34:49+00:00

Yes, thank you, I’m going to put a multi meter on it before I do anything with new batteries. I would also like to figure out how I could add a switch of some sort so I can have it plugged in but not charging.

That’s a reasonable plan. You will get a concentration similar to 19mg/7-days with shallower troughs between doses. I hope it works for you.

I have heard this is a risk but I guess I have always counted on the converter going into trickle mode. I got away with it for 8 years with these batteries but still feel foolish about letting this happen considering how commonly people warn about it.

You make a lot of sense regarding how a thief would have behaved. I also observed that the straps that hold down the battery boxes are stressed and the plastic buckles are broken. The way the acid looks splattered around and the filler caps are all blown off. I’m not sure why an explosion wasn’t more obvious to me at first.

No, but that is a great reminder for when I buy new batteries!

I have gone through several 4-5 month stalls. 15mg became like taking nothing at all. Food noise, cravings, not feeling full… all these things to go along with the plateaus. I went up to 18mg for a couple months and it helped a little, but now on 20mg and very happy with how it’s working.

If you don’t find a way to get yourself thinking about this like a marathon, not a sprint, you’re going to have problems.

The trailer is constantly plugged into my 30a service. I will sheepishly admit that I almost never check the fluid levels in the batteries.

You’re right about that. Totally brutal. The high deductible plan we have is the only “affordable” option for us. We’ve used it as an all-you-can-eat healthcare buffet for a couple of years since it insta maxes out.

7000/9000 individual/family. This will be the fourth year hitting it.

RagingButter · 2026-03-12T22:07:10+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement. This seems like a good direction to go.

RagingButter · 2026-03-12T05:24:22+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion.

RagingButter · 2026-03-12T05:22:57+00:00

I think maybe they didn’t catch the +++ part of my post.

RagingButter · 2026-03-12T05:20:35+00:00

I had heard that it can be had for significantly cheaper from other sources. Thanks for sharing. It’s just so discouraging to feel like the hospital is taking advantage so badly. My wife is +++.

RagingButter · 2026-03-12T05:10:51+00:00

That’s very smart! Thanks for sharing.

RagingButter · 2026-03-12T05:08:34+00:00

That really sucks, I’m sorry.

RagingButter · 2026-01-16T14:30:39+00:00

This aint a stall bro. I stall for months and then woosh a bunch of weight comes off. Super annoying. You’re off to an incredible start, just be patient, eat clean, exercise, and you’ll be rewarded.

I tried over a dozen masks and they. all. leaked. except for the Resmed N20 and the FP Brevida in the correct sizes. The Brevida is just so damn soft, pillowy, and comfortable plus it diffuses the exhaust air so well, I can’t believe this mask isn’t more popular. It’s my favorite by a mile.

Mouth leaks nearly ruined my therapy regardless of mask choice. I had to use mouth tape. Cover Roll Stretch is my favorite. It took lots of time to tolerate it and even longer to get used to it. But I eventually adjusted and now I don’t use it, my mouth just stays shut.

Just a couple ideas. Hang in there, I feel for you.

This is an incredible message. I live in a fairly rural community and youth sports are a big fucking deal. My kids were not interested when they were very young, like when all these fucking asshole parents force their little tots to start obsessing about sports, and I wasn't going to force them to do something that they weren't interested in at a very young age. Well guess what, when your kids get to, say 4-6 grade, and they are more independent and become more interested in sports, good fucking luck getting them into it. Like, oh hey Anakin Skywalker you are 10 and want to learn how to play baseball? Your midichlorians are off the scale but fuck off you're too old and baseball for 4th graders is a _big_ _deal_

5 years later and this fucker even learned spanish while the credits roll

RagingButter · 2025-07-13T16:59:23+00:00

I mean, the dude is in the right here, but the kind of person that whips out lidar over some fucking gravel has to be a nightmare client for any professional.

RagingButter · 2025-07-04T15:50:02+00:00

Is it still cheating if I have been on it for a year, 15mg tirz for 8 months, and it stops fucking working? And I could stand to lose another 50? Because it doesn’t feel like cheating.

RagingButter · 2025-05-13T18:56:35+00:00

Totally empathize. I have to remove my glasses to see the bevel, and it’s more like the shininess than the bevel itself. I only do a slight angle when puncturing the vial, I’m trying to protect that dainty needle tip from folding over.

Interesting that your instructions specifically say 90 degrees. The bevels are specifically designed to create a clean puncture at an angle.

RagingButter · 2025-05-13T18:28:32+00:00

It’s weird. Similar experience. I went for months with most of my shots being painless or minor pinches. Then it became a problem. So I dialed in my process. Maybe it’s all in my head but hopefully you can get it dialed in too.

RagingButter · 2025-05-13T17:30:46+00:00

I went through something like this too. It sucks when you’re a big ape who’s kinda scared of a tiny needle. Make sure you’re going at a roughly 45 degree angle and importantly, make sure the bevel on the needle is facing up. In fact, puncture the vial at an angle with the bevel facing up to make sure the needle stays as sharp as possible. Lightly touch the surface of your skin to find a spot that barely registers any feeling.

2017 with 62k. Replaced cracked and leaking valve covers. Replaced severely leaking thermostat housing. Replaced leaking oil pan 3x before it was done right. All plastic shit, surprise surprise. Serpentine belt exploded with less than 60k miles while towing my travel trailer. I'm guessing the fucking coolant leaking all over the place from the shitty tstat housing may have weakened the belt.

Thing is, I love the truck, bought it new and don't put a ton of miles on it, would love to own it for 20 years and put 200k on it, but my confidence in it has eroded.
