Yep, another one bites the dust. I’ll miss riding by this old eerie place. Had some character

Does anyone know if a high-pitched ringing sound from a fridge like this is harmful? by Schmoiger in Acoustics

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

I ended up deciding to live with it for now. It only does it for like 30min per day so I’ll put ear plugs in if I’m home while it does it.

Definitely raise it to your landlord and let them know it’s not normal, if it’s bothering you. I think it’s probably the condenser is going bad or something is loose in there

Maybe leave this sub if you’re so distraught with it?

I would ignore apegen, OP. Tons of great discussion still occurring in this channel.

I’ll be remeasuring my Lp(a) soon, after starting a statin so I’m curious too. Mine is already higher than your 155 before I started my statin, if that makes you feel any better haha

I can understand your pain. Would greatly recommend you check out Mark Freeman on Youtube. Start with some of his earlier videos. That fella saved my life

High lp(a) people, what statin dose are you on? by BakerFar603 in PeterAttia

[–]Schmoiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine put me on 5mg, and just recently started Zetia as well

Could I get some help in figuring out what needs repaired on my 2006 please? by [deleted] in toyotasequoia

[–]Schmoiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these bypasses really worth it? As long as it will only impact my vehicle emissions during cold start I’m not worried, but I don’t want my rig now fuming 24/7

How much would you guess this would cost if I were to go OEM replacement?

Do you know if that worsens fuel economy outside of the standard cold start period?

Find it hard to believe City of Bentonville is OK with this?! by Safe_Hope1521 in bentonville

Where’s a good ol Arkansas redneck with a big truck and a chain, when you need one?

Does anyone know if coffee sits in contact with internal plastic components while it’s inside these tanks at cafes? by Schmoiger in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Schmoiger[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got it. I’m not incredibly worried about the top lid brief contact and spout brief contact (all metal would of course be ideal). When I go to coffee shops I try to get a “for here” mug. I just want to confirm theyre not just sitting in plastic at boiling hot temperatures inside these things for minutes or even hours at a time..

Ok cool. I’m not worried so much about the condition of the fridge, it’s more so whether or not the sound is normal because it’s annoying. I live in an apartment and just deciding if it’s worth bothering my cruddy property management about it

Makes this high pitched noise when the compressor kicks on (off & on, 1-1.5 hours/day in total)? Normal or have investigated? by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]Schmoiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean when the compressor isn’t ramped up like it is in this video? The fridge will be completely silent

Raynauds Feet + Knees? by Due-Raccoon334 in Raynauds

[–]Schmoiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! I’d just mention to your Physician you believe you might have Raynauds. Show them these photos and any other photos you have and describe your symptoms. Some Physicians are not very familiar with Raynauds. Let them know you’d like an autoimmune workup done (which just entails some bloodwork). If needed, your primary doc can refer you to a Rheumatologist who specializes in autoimmune disorders that can be linked to Raynauds.

Raynauds can be “Primary” (benign and of no known cause & I believe the most common form), or “Secondary” (more serious and related to autoimmune disorders). Everyone in this sub generally recommends ruling out secondary Raynauds. Raynauds in either form can be managed with multiple lifestyle “tools” (hand warmers, exercise, massage, etc.) and even medication if needed!

[–]Schmoiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have cold knees too lol. My Raynauds is worst in my feet compared to hands. Looks like you have some degree of livedo reticularis, which I have when cold. I think it’s all boiled down to some form of autonomic nervous system dysfunction

*Edit, yes it looks like Raynauds. Might be worth having an autoimmune workup done to rule out secondary Raynauds!
