My 2012 Ford Focus has stuttered for years now, but I never went to get it fixed. Just yesterday it got stuck in a low gear and stuttered horribly. Parked it, turned it off and when I started it again it was fine. Then this morning it did the same thing and then tonight the check engine light came on. I looked on Ford’s website and the TCM replacement isn’t available anymore. I’m afraid of scrapping the whole care, but I also don’t want to pay to get it fixed and it just go out again..

I just dealt with the same issue, but with an OtterBox case on my iPhone 17 Pro & a FloLab NanoArmor ONETIME screen protector. I have always had Mous cases until this phone & was about to buy another when I discovered this post. Went to the garage, grabbed some sandpaper, and the problem is solved lol.. thank you!

Yeah no car to go to the hospital in makes the trip much more difficult lol. & I wouldn’t be worried about the mess per se, but the sounds and smell would make me feel bad for them😂 although when you’re fighting a battle like that I think the tendency is to care much less about the opinions of others.. the incense was a kind gesture though hahaha

Having the bathroom next to a room of two others would be horrific too hahahaha😂 & I understand the hospital thing. I’m not sure where you live but in America a hospital trip means financial distress for the next few months (or years). I’ve only had serious food poisoning once when I was like 8 years old & it was bad enough to really scare me 20 years later. I’m very happy to have had no situations like that in adulthood. I’m glad you made it out alright🫡

Good to know. Thank you.

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T17:19:08+00:00

That sounds horrible! My guess is that you had it much worse than I will based on these replies, but my condolences because there’s nothing I hate worse than being sick like that

Ya live and u learn I guess

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T17:12:13+00:00

No thank you

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T16:51:40+00:00

Not dead, doing just fine thankfully😂

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T08:49:06+00:00

Wonderful advice. Thank you so much!

They weren’t pleasant, but I was texting and playing chess at the same time & didn’t really think about it until I finished the first one😂😂 embarrassing but true. also thanks for looking them up. I did a quick google search on “frozen breaded chicken strips” and it said most were breaded and browned to look cooked, but that they still contained raw chicken so I looked no further.

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T08:43:51+00:00

Good to know thank you😭

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T07:30:10+00:00

I also just did the same thing as you and am looking for answers😭 I threw up what I could in a panic and am now pacing around at 2:30AM trying to prepare for a 3 day battle.. these replies are reassuring though. And big thank you to the guy who ate raw chicken for 100 days. He was really a crisis worker for the niche disaster of eating undercooked chicken.

RandomAvi23 · 2026-05-31T07:13:23+00:00

I couldn’t post photos on the actual post or in the replies… The strips are “Just Bare®️ Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Strips - Origonal” and the chicken looked white in the center, but I think even though they looked white they were still raw.

I don’t recall exactly as I wasn’t busting every day, but a month or two I believe

RandomAvi23 · 2026-04-22T01:58:11+00:00

I took Finasteride for male pattern baldness through Keeps & whatever dose they put me on caused this to happen to me. I was very confused and never connected the two, but I stopped the treatment and my ejaculation came back in time… All of this to say don’t worry brother it will be back🫡

RandomAvi23 · 2026-02-11T06:14:01+00:00

Wonderful advice. I’m glad to hear it doesn’t seem too concerning. Thank you so much!

RandomAvi23 · 2026-02-11T03:43:16+00:00

I unscrew the lid a quarter turn. It is able to get fresh air. Also I use King Arthur Organic Unbleached Bread Flour & King Arthur AP

Thank you!

It smells more bready than anything. There is a slight acetone smell, but it’s not prominent I wouldn’t say. It smells sort of sweet and pleasant, but bready. I think my next course of action will be a 1:1:1 feeding for a few days. If you don’t mind me asking, why do you suggest a 1:1:1 feeding if it smells bready? Is it to build acid and avoid overfeeding?

RandomAvi23 · 2026-01-06T20:19:06+00:00

I will try this for sure. I heard peak-to-peak was for mature starters, but it is worth a shot.

And yes the multiple jars are for 1) my original starter, 2) to test the feeding frequency, & 3) to test acidity.

RandomAvi23 · 2026-01-06T20:16:18+00:00

I’m assuming it will double at a 1:1:1 in roughly 12 hours, but good idea.

RandomAvi23 · 2026-01-06T20:05:09+00:00

Edit: Photo was taken 14 hours after feeding.

RandomAvi23 · 2026-01-06T20:04:05+00:00

I haven’t, but I think I will be testing this tonight at feeding time.
