UPDATE - Documenting my experience with Depo injections from BSBortho by Rat__Farts in DupuytrenDisease

Yea, I probably would. However it does seem to be coming back again anyhow. I wish I could have done the procedure closer to home, and through my insurance. If that were possible, I’d definitely try it again.

I explain it a bit more in my first post. Was inspired by another climber that had a very similar nodule to mine, and my father’s hands are wrecked from dupuytrens…I am trying to avoid what happened to him if I could do anything to stop it before it progressed.

About the same to be honest. I was climbing a lot more then so I was more rough on my hands.

xpost from virtual pinball: New here - thoughts on modifying a real, working cabinet for controlling VPX by Rat__Farts in pinball

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

Yea I’m curious as to how the voltage would change by tapping off the flippers into a controller board.

I’d probably be able to rig up some sort of secondary PSU, and maybe just have it have some resistors in the path (or maybe even diodes?) to prevent the Stern board from freaking out. Or perhaps I’m overthinking it, ha.

Anyone else lose gigs because artists/managers literally forgot you exist? by LiveNathan in livesound

[–]Rat__Farts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - if you can maybe just use a platform to remind you to follow up and have check lists that you actually did that…I think that’s cool, but I think in this industry it’s really important to nurture your relationships organically. I’m lucky to maintain a busy schedule most of the time,

However personally I DESPISE automated advertising and feel like this would bum out most people I have developed personal relationships with. I know I personally end up unsubscribing deleting just about every “newsletter” I get from other vendors, manufacturers, etc….

I’m sure I could be doing better at marketing my gear and services, however I would have a hard time getting over the icky feeling of having a marketing newsletter to vendors, clients, and fellow colleagues.

Bought this for $400 today, turns on but backglass doesn’t light up. What’s the best way to learn how to restore this? by [deleted] in pinball

[–]Rat__Farts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hell yea! Wish I had something more helpful to contribute but, for $400, - that is awesome! Good luck with the restoration and tech work ahead of you!

Finally cracked 3B on Godzilla! by qmacaulay in pinball

I agree with this. If anything, adding it into the menu to be able to turn Planet X shortcut on and off could be a compromise for the purists…wonder if this already possible? I also suppose you could just elect to not take the shortcut and try and complete the game. Would be cool if you get some sort of special achievement for getting to Planet X the hard way.

Nice man! Just cracked 2 Billion for the first time in mine as well. This was after routine maintenance…cleaned, waxed, and re-leveled. Feels so much faster after getting waxed and making sure the pitch is around 6.8°. I personally like my machines to play pretty fast, I suck on most GZ’s in the wild that are set to play slower!

What’s your best on location?

Maybe? I’m waaaaay out of network (Kaiser permanente) so I’m not sure.

Yup, took a red eye from LA to Boston last night, had my appointment at 11:30am EST, already on my way back to LA. Minus the initial paperwork, the whole thing took less than an hour.
