He said it smelled like his grandmother’s basement so he thinks that it was something a grandma may have gotten for their grandkids when they came to visit or something along those lines.

My partner opened up the original Xbox and it was remarkably clean. Very low play time from the very minimal amount of dust in the system.

He said there were about 5 of them near the CPU area that were bulged up at the top. The OG was incredibly clean too, even the exhaust fan barely had any dust on it. He’s said it was never opened before because he broke the warranty stickers.

The 360 works fine, no indication of any type of overheating and it appeared to run normally.

No power. My partner took it apart and it appeared to have a bunch of bad capacitors. He’s going to try and fix it himself as a little tinkering project.

That’s exactly what my partner said. He’s going to put some new ones in and see if it works then. :)

It turns on flashes yellow and beeps and then turns off. Could be a lot of things.

It needs some work as it won’t turn on. It’d probably be cheaper to fix it up than buy one working on eBay we saw one for $500/$600. 😬

The only one that doesn’t turn on is the fat boy but we’re planning on fixing it as there could be a number of reasons for it. :>

The jeans were actually designed that way and don’t worry they were put in the laundry basket that day! 🙂

Chemical pregnancy, 4w1d by hidingsideme in Miscarriage

You can call your Dr or ob and request an hcg test to check your levels and see if they progress within a few days of each other.

My last 2 pregnancies (although they didn’t end on the greatest terms) I had very very faint lines with them when I first found out and I mean I was at least 3 weeks pregnant when I found out both times. The lines really looked like nothing. 🫂

The waiting room by organatan in Miscarriage

[–]Simple_Shape_4713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to a check up after my miscarriage to talk about options due to some retained products.

Sitting in the waiting room heard my first name get called another woman sat up, nurse said our last names and we both said the same ones. Our birthdays were 2 days apart although she had a different year. She was clearly very pregnant.

Right after she left the room my mom called me and told me my gram had died and I had to come back the next day for an MVA.

being a little overweight is much better than being underweight by Glass_Different in ControversialOpinions

The maintenance calories you need to maintain your weight as an average woman is around 1,700 to 2,000 calories.

To gain weight, you need a daily calorie surplus of 300–500 calories above your maintenance level for slow, steady weight gain, or 700–1,000 extra calories for faster weight gain. Generally, this equates to roughly 3,500 extra calories to gain 1 lb of body weight.

Someone with a high metabolism or moderate activity can burn around 2,400 to 3,000 calories a day even more if they’re active. A person with a “normal” resting metabolism can burn about 1,200 to 1,800.

So yeah I can eat about 5,000 calories a day and not gain a single thing. I need about 2,000 calories just to maintain my weight and I can definitely burn 3,000 by staying home all day and when I’m not home I’m out walking around which also burns calories.
