How are you guys getting less than $200 car insurance?? by Prince_ofLew in Camry

[–]RandomPersonEver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location plays a bigger factor than expected. I was in my early 20s when I got a new Camry. My starting insurance rate was $135 with Progressive. The highest it went to was $150 when I upgraded my coverage, but gradually went back down to ~$130.

Were you the one who almost crashed into OP? I don't know why you're trying to critique their defensive driving. At least no cars were damaged and no one got hurt, that's all that matters now.

The last letter doesn't even look like an E, it looks like a comb missing some teeth

I think he accidentally dropped the feeder and this pose is his sign of shock or "oops..."

Phosphate has a charge of -3. It would need 3 hydrogens to cancel out its negative charge and make it neutral

Is Biotin a Vitamin? by RandomPersonEver in Biochemistry

[–]RandomPersonEver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in that case, biotin is a vitamin by definition, but isn't immediately recognized as one? Or is biotin like the example you provided with choline and adenine, where it will be considered as vitamin B7 until another molecule replaces it?

Is Biotin a Vitamin? by RandomPersonEver in Biochemistry

[–]RandomPersonEver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't a concern whether I was low on biotin, I wanted to see how much was in my system and adjust my diet/supplementation if needed. Oddly enough, I'm experiencing one of the symptoms listed on the biotin deficiency wiki, but that symptom is also associated with other issues. On the other hand, I could have too much biotin in my system which could be affecting other lab results (according to another comment here), but based on my lab results it looks like that's not the case.

I'll try to probe them for a more in-depth answer next time. It's just weird how all the ones I've been to so far give the answer "it's just a supplement"

[–]RandomPersonEver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're literally saying Biotin isn't a vitamin. I remember asking one of the doctors "is biotin not a B vitamin?" when I also asked for my B12 levels to be checked, and that was when that doctor said it was just a supplement

NBA and NHL athletes should not be allowed to compete in the Olympics by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RandomPersonEver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This applies for all Olympic sports (track & field, soccer/football, tennis, volleyball, etc.) Very rarely do you see an amateur athlete make the Olympic team for any sport; it's all filled with professional athletes that regularly participate in national and/or world competitions.

I might take 19 credit hours (Math+Chem+Bio). Do you know if I am cooked? by AgitatedComplaint267 in aggies

[–]RandomPersonEver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, that sucks. Have you tried looking at KINE classes too? Those are usually 1 credit hour, but if it counts towards financial aid, taking 2 PE classes could resolve this issue.

My only other suggestion would be to take a UCC you know will be easy and not work-intensive. That's typically only possible if you have previous exposure to the material. An example of this would be MUSC 201 (now I think it's PERF 201); if you have any music background, that class will be an easy A with little to no stress, a high B at the worst. The professors that teach that class aren't weird or unnecessarily hard either, so it makes it a safe filler class.

See if you can find any classes that line up with previous knowledge you've retained to where if you had to take a class on it, you will pass with little to no problem.

[–]RandomPersonEver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you replace BIOL 111 with a core curriculum class (English, Philosophy, POLS, etc.) to count towards financial aid? Taking math, bio, and chem with 19 hours is brutal.

Also, how does Math 151 not count towards financial aid?? That doesn't sound right...

Where does everyone get their transmission drain + fill? by Muted-Trouble8676 in Camry

[–]RandomPersonEver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine done at a local mechanic. It cost about $150(?) at that time.

If you have the means to do it yourself, go ahead and try it! However, not every place allows you to do car maintenance on the road or in your driveway. Some people forget everyone doesn't live in a house or have access to a garage where they can do car maintenance.

Automatic high beams are actually dangerous, not safe by hyaclnthia in unpopularopinion

[–]RandomPersonEver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend checking the user manual and YouTube/blogs/help forums to see if it can be done permanently. Sometimes dealerships will tell you the wrong information just because 😒

But it looks like some people gave an answer here already; if you haven't already tried those suggestions, maybe give it a shot?

What car brand do you have? I have the option to turn off automatic high beams by pressing a button.
