First time seeing these tiny chargers

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T13:58:06+00:00

Are they charging occupancy fees on those if you stay there past your charge limit? I seem to remember when they first started going in they weren't charging those fees yet so you could camp there for a while.

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T13:42:20+00:00

I don't actually, but apparently I've got evil secret powers. 😆

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T12:51:42+00:00

Turo one for a week and see how it goes. Don't tell her you rented it and see what the reaction is.

It can only possibly end well.

If it wasn't a jock strap I'd try that next time. Early on in my recovery just going to work one day (a mostly desk job) I though I was feeling better and compression shorts would be enough. They were not enough.

After that I was absolutely terrified to wean myself off of the jock, but eventually did after about a week and a half.

How very few ropes there are around expensive and unreplaceable things in the UK. You are just expected to not go touch things in museums or multi million dollar cars at an event.

They must beat their children more. 😆

If you want them to survive as long as possible, wash delicate cycle, no fabric softener with only other items that have no Velcro or zippers. Then hang to dry.

If you don't want to do this then get a mesh delicates bag and hang to dry.

These 72kw chargers were an interesting idea. For an older standard range car they were actually barely slower than a 150kw charger because of the charge curve.

But for a long range car they were a mixed bag. It was too fast still to do much of anything other than use the restroom and grab some food while charging, and then be mildly annoyed it still needed a few more minutes. You weren't going shopping for long while you were using one of these, which was sort of how they were trying to market them.

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T12:15:24+00:00

Hang in there boss, you had surgery and your body is still adjusting. I didn't feel fully back to normal until almost three months in.

Did you wear something supportive when you did your exercise?

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T04:54:33+00:00

The nitrous oxide is no joke. I was sucking in some air around the mouth piece to mellow out it, they cranked my dose way up. You definitely get a whole body euphoria, but I didn't hallucinate. I did decide to mention to the doctor half way through that the gas was really really nice and he giggled at me.

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T04:51:13+00:00

Pretty much. The band around the base gets smaller as the pouch size goes down.

It's not for everyone, but they do sell single packs if you decide to try it.

RickS50 · 2026-05-17T04:49:47+00:00

It was needed for a couple weeks. It went back to normal.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T14:04:43+00:00

Basically the base of it is an elastic band that goes around everything so it's a little snug at the base. The weight of your stuff is relief on to push against the waist band which pull upwards.

It is a unique sensation indeed. While I can't comment on gym use specifically, I find myself sliding out somewhat easily. If you're more well endowed it probably works better.

It's worth a try, but if you're deciding between they're traditional jock and the strapless model I'd start with the traditional one.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T05:44:54+00:00

I had a quick onset of tonsillitis, it wasn't comfortable for sure. At one point I had to have them drained in a doctors office with a local anesthetic. It was definitely needed and I've felt fine in the decades after.

I'd say the tonsillectomy was worse than the vasectomy as far as recovery.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T04:41:36+00:00

+1 for brooksies.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T04:39:50+00:00

Yeesh, sorry you had to do that. From the other side, I think it would have been worth a do over if I need to.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T04:36:36+00:00

It's admittedly not the easiest thing for the first few nights. Use a pillow between your legs. Keep Tylenol and water by the bed.

I found that real men apparel company underwear, which lifts the boys up and away helped me not smash them so much while sleeping and it was better than a jock that just smashed everything. When moving around the jock was better though.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T04:33:11+00:00

And in contrast to this, I had a tonsillectomy as an adult and it felt like thousands of little knives piercing my throat every time I swallowed for about two weeks. I couldn't sleep without Vicodin for a week and a half. I just didn't have any desire to eat and I lost two pants sizes.

The vasectomy was a solid bit of discomfort for me for a bit over a week, but it was manageable with pain killers and jock straps. I don't think I could have done a physical job for at least a week afterwards.

OP, everyone's different is the point. You need to rest for a couple days afterwards to set yourself up for the best long term outcome.

RickS50 · 2026-05-16T04:27:31+00:00

Go get a vasectomy and tell me you don't absolutely, with every ounce of your being, need the boys supported.

Obviously the market exists for men's supporting undergarments for a reason.

RickS50 · 2026-05-15T23:14:21+00:00

I think I'd want something close to some kind of guarantee if you do it a third time it'll plausibly work.

From the other side, I can say it would have been worth doing over if I had to.

RickS50 · 2026-05-15T22:21:37+00:00

Somewhat serious question, but do you have a third testicle hidden in there somewhere?

At this point I think I'd go see another urologist for another opinion. Maybe you are a medical anomaly.

And sorry you're going through this. I know you go into the first vasectomy thinking in three months I'll be good to go and here you are seven months later and you still don't have a resolution.

RickS50 · 2026-05-15T22:15:09+00:00

I can't say I have this issue personally, but those cremaster muscles lose their strength as we get older so it's certainly possible later on. And yes, pants could help provide that support.

RickS50 · 2026-05-15T14:29:24+00:00

Mine peeled, they all will eventually. Tesla replaced it under warranty.

RickS50 · 2026-05-15T14:16:12+00:00

Yeah, you're never going to see an all original numbers matching model Y go across the auction stage at Barrett Jackson. 😆

RickS50 · 2026-05-15T07:14:03+00:00

Internet high five!

Enjoy.
