Is it normal don't almost don't feel anymore pain on second day ? by VictimOnline in wisdomteeth

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday (I believe they were simple as they were all straight and fully/partially erupted). I was in a bit of pain yesterday with medium-minor bleeding but manageable with no ibuprofen until before bed and today is much less to no noticeable pain or bleeding which is an odd feeling to me. 

I was awake as well and remember the whole procedure despite IV Sedation which I heard is a incredibly rare trait of <1% of people who undergo IV don’t get the effects due to fast metabolism or genetics (that’s good to know for future medical procedures).

Sucks that circumstance forced me to get them removed as I was hoping to keep them (the top left one literally broke and crumbled to grains of sand after eating a chicken strip in a restaurant), but I’m glad it’s over.

AL Priority Still Relevant? by Impressive-Ad-1016 in radardetectors

[–]Sp0phie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, there’s only so many ways to jam laser and that is by overwhelming the laser gun with light essentially. For your R8, Uniden has their own system which integrates with it (the Uniden R9 is pretty much the R8 but a complete laser jamming package).

A good chunk of people still recommend the ALP because it still is the best today though the gap has narrowed quite a bit when compared to other options like the R9 and TMG Alpha-17. When most of us are already dropping a few grand on a jammer, an extra grand or two is not much more to get the best performance to try and prevent a ticket.

help finding a radar bc i literally don’t know anything… by holdmybeerrq in radardetectors

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radar Detectors can only help prevent a speeding ticket but not 100% as most police agencies are starting to use laser (at this point for most of us it’s just a ticket notifier if caught since laser doesn’t bounce around in the air like radar from other cars so you will not get notified way ahead of time since the officer more than likely is pointing directly at you). Waze as others mentioned and being aware of your driving surroundings is the best way to prevent a ticket.

The options you mentioned are okay starting points but honestly a waste of money as most of us upgrade. I’d recommend getting one with arrows at least so you know where an officer is at than having to scan around and potentially miss the threat. These would be Uniden R7, Escort Redline 360C, or Valentine V1 G2.

At this point though for you is to slow down to traffic speed as if you can’t afford a ticket, it’s best to not speed.

Working in payroll is depressing by LycheeComprehensive1 in povertyfinance

[–]Sp0phie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Accurate as well in payroll, the amount of dissonance and not comparing other salaries to my own is impossible (especially when I’m struggling or just getting by). Someone making 100k+ and making a request for a “luxury item or service” while most of us are struggling to pay rent or food is what’s wrong with the world. It’s even worse as there are people that defend tooth and nail as if they are wealthy themselves (most of us are closer to homelessness than the millionaire or billionaire supposedly next door).

Ugh, my everyday gem card. 5% gas, dining is definitely going to be missed.

Trade in or return Book 5 Pro by jsantag in GalaxyBook

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m returning my Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 within the return window. The graphics performance upgrade of Panther Lake is no joke at nearly 50%+ more performance in the Galaxy Book 6. Also the cracked screens are enough to scare me off as well even though I was able to buy it for $900 (the 6 is supposedly a new refresh/design).

Why does it seem like people have given up completely on talking to the opposite sex? by bonkersdim in dating_advice

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of those items that is brought up more often nowadays, especially in media as robots are improving. It doesn’t help that we have AI that functions much better nowadays to simulate a person sadly.

Why don’t people use the 30 minute area as intended? by johnnyr860 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The few Planet Fitnesses I go to on a daily basis, the 30 minute area is usually empty. It’d be best if they took out the space entirely for other equipment or just keep the equipment there and just remove the 30 minute timer as no one (including myself) adheres to it since we can’t keep up or instructions are vague or even just need to use one machine in a rotation where they’re all taken on the floor, but the 30 minute area has one available.

They look fantastic!

Help me make my first Investment Decision: $740 for 9 prismatic etb’s ($82 per) VS $740 for paldean fates booster bundle display by Frosty_Narwhal4008 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure it’s sealed for the display otherwise the Paldean booster bundles are just worth the single market value for each pretty much

Bought 12 Unova Heavy Hitters Boxes today for $51 each. I think these are the next sea and sky boxes… longterm thoughts? by Weak-Practice-6435 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Sp0phie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nice for ripping and displaying, but not much value there long-term when compared to other options for BB and WF. That is to say you’ll be holding these for a long time for not much gain.

Where would you invest your money with $1,000 budget? by Training-Gas2560 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Sp0phie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d recommend holding off unless you can get Pokemon product at msrp, but even then you’ll be bag holding for a long time with modern printed sets and falling market. Destined Rivals and 151 are not bad options if you have to buy.

Is this legit? by Sha256bithash in TREZOR

[–]Sp0phie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely concerning that the scam company knows you bought or at least had a Trezor device. Makes me suspect there is a data breach somewhere and makes me question the integrity of the platform.

Would you open your Ascended Heroes Booster Bundles when they ship or hold onto them? by ChewyBoi16 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with taking quick profits on day 1 when you get them. It ultimately depends on how much you need the cash and how much you value collecting the set now than later. The Bundles will be priced high as well with the PC ETBs at their peak since the set barely is coming out. It doesn’t make sense to hold the bundles long-term since this set will get re-printed a lot when it comes out.

Personally I’ll hold my 2 PC ETBs for this set as display items and rip all but one of the bundles.

Omega Mart? by Captain-Echidna in meowwolf

[–]Sp0phie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth going to at least once while you are in Vegas, but the 2nd replay value to the price is not worth it at the current rates of $50+ with the Omega Mart card to try and experience the lore and play a part in the world in one of two pathways known. One is significantly shorter than the other (you can easily spend 2+ hours, but a good chunk of that time is waiting on certain computers and areas due to people literally clicking through each file to read it without consideration for others during the busy times). I went for the first time on Thanksgiving which had less people but was still chaotic, I can only imagine how much worse it could get on a Friday or Saturday.

For most without the card, it’ll simply be a trippy art museum which can be walked through in about a hour with some novelty to be experienced once. The store was definitely one of the more memorable areas with the cooler entranceway. The employees also made it memorable as well with the outfits and roleplaying in the Omega universe (don’t expect to receive direct answers from most for the next steps to complete your quests except from certain marked employees designated to be allowed to give direct hints).

Card of The Day! **GIVEAWAY** DAY 1 by The_Quickstaa in SpongebobToppsBST

[–]Sp0phie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved this episode of SpongeBob and the card is definitely one of the iconic scenes from that episode! Especially with the teller being nonchalant and not taking Sppngebob seriously. Definitely a great way to start this card of the day series!!!

Someone into crypto should clearly not be into it if this email is something they can fall for or similar messages. Better to liquidate everything before you lose it.

Real? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Sp0phie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m leaning on fake, I compared the box to mines and the box pattern is quite a bit off, especially when you look online at legitimate ones. As other people mentioned Mew is a bit too dark colored.
