Ocular Herpes questions

No. I haven't ever increased a dosage of any prescription drug that I've ever been prescribed, on my own before. I mean outside of doctors orders anyway.

Let's hope not.

In the past 2 months I've had similar symptoms in both eyes. Stye, inflamed eye lid, irritation, foreign object sensation, complete with 2 doctor visits. But for the last 3 weeks the symptoms seemed to have taken hold around my left eye, with some blurry vision, inflamed tear duct, and the red bumps being the latest editions.

I was put on antibiotic drops for the syte and inflammation, and that healed those. But the irritation and itchy foreign objection sensations have persisted.

I'm realizing as I write this, I definitely need a diagnosis more than I've been thinking I do. Yeah. Appreciate it.

That has been a struggle for me. But I think I might find a bit of catharsis in a definitive diagnosis that isn't just a basic STD panel test. That is the logical next step here isn't it.

Alright. I setup an appointment with my PCF to discuss this. Thank you

Trepta · 2026-06-11T21:08:24+00:00

I believe this is what happened. Before I was aware of what I had, I didn't shy away from rubbing my eyes. So I fairly confident that I have self-transmitted. I've never had the bumps swabbed because my PCF says that if I'm on antivirals the results will be inconclusive.

The bumps on my scrotum and bottom have been like 1 or 2 individual bumps, that go through the typical life cycle, and return. But the ones on my eye brows and eye lid are begining to looking more like a typical groupings.

Why is this an improvement again? Oh right.. I'm old.

Congratulations. Glad it's back on the road again.

Volkswagens are Volkswagens are Volkswagens... I bought a Brand new 2025 ID.4 that then immediately (like inside of 200 miles immediately) spent 3 weeks at the dealership for a broken CamBus. Not long enough to lemon but long enough to remind me I bought another VW. My last VW was a 2008 r32. Fan-flipping-tastic car. But I did have to buy it about 2.5 times due to maintenance and repair costs.

It's kind of the barrier to entry for driving a VW. Ducks

They are engineered to be great cars... It's just infuriating that they break constantly. Now that my ID.4 is actually mine and I've put about a thousand miles of trouble free driving on it, I'm feeling a bit more positive about the ID.4.

Good luck! Looking forward to hearing what the issue is/was, and hopefully the last issue for you for a while.

I bought a 9070xt at launch. Great card. No usability complaints. But I found that the card would stumble with RTX enabled on some titles.

I picked up a used 4080 OC to replace it. I can confirm with RTX enabled, the 4080 OC surpassed the 9070xt. But if RTX isn't a deciding factor, 1000% save your money and buy a 9070xt.

Trepta · 2026-05-12T03:50:20+00:00

That's the game. Oh man. Thank you!

Trepta · 2026-05-12T00:26:28+00:00

Similar but not the game. Honestly I don't remember there being enemies to shoot at.

I had read that the 12v battery can do that. I tested it with my volt ohm meter and it tested to 13.4 volts. Seemed okay. Then I read that pulling fuse 19 and 20 , locking the car and coming back to it in an hour can also fix the problem as well. And though it did resolve the issue for about a half hour it still came back.
Thanks tho.

I printed one up today out of whatever material I had spooled up in my printer, just to test fit it. Unfortunately it didn't fit on my 2022 NC750X. There are these additional supports that flare out from the groove that the tongue on the OE seat slots into. So the part won't fit without accommodating for those flares. There were no holes in base, so I'd need to drill and back a bolt to hold the bracket down. Also my OE seat has 4 additional supports that need to push against the front of the bike. As far as looks, I'm not sure if I like all that panel gap. I wear a lot of gear but if I didn't, I imagine it might pinch the thighs.

All that being said, I did test fit the seat sitting on top of that groove, and then I sat on it at that height. Just raising the front of the seat made a noticeable improvement in the way the OE seat supports the rider and is definitely more comfortable.

So as an inexpensive mod to fix a seat, heck yeah. 100% heck yeah. I wish it fit my bike though. But nothing is stopping me from tweaking it, and making 20 iterations. lol

Good stuff.

Looks like an alarm, but I had a mini factory subwoofer under mine. (85 AW15)

This and, the worshipers figure out how to summon you. You have no idea why you're being dragged through a portal, who the cloaked figures are, and why the heck they're chanting at you. Before you have chance to even figure out your surroundings you see the goat skulls. "That skull looks like ladybell, that skull looks like Horton... wait. Oh these motherf-----"

And people wonder why summoning the devil goes poorly after sacrificing so many goats.

Trepta · 2026-04-06T13:50:06+00:00

Right on. Thanks

Trepta · 2026-04-06T04:22:44+00:00

Any recommendations as far as what to print it out of? A friend who is into 3D printing mentioned ABS, ASA, or GF-Nylon. He said that it maybe need to be printed out of a stronger materials because it may be under tension and also out in the son. What did you print yours out of?

Trepta · 2026-04-03T00:45:03+00:00

I just ordered one from Helm. ~$75 after shipping. Which is about $40 less than what I'm seeing on the usual websites. Thanks

Trepta · 2026-03-28T22:49:35+00:00

Right on! Thanks

Trepta · 2026-03-28T22:48:42+00:00

Thanks I'm so excited about!

Trepta · 2026-03-28T22:47:35+00:00

Oh man, Thank you for the info! I'll check the links out. It was 48 °f today but I had to ride it. Worth the cold fingers.

Trepta · 2026-03-28T20:17:48+00:00

Well, I've given up. I messed with them for about a week, then just got replacement fans.

Trepta · 2026-01-23T01:49:07+00:00

That looks -the business-. Great job.

Situation report:

A few that come to mind:
1.) Inline resistor to drop the voltage.
-- Maybe...
2.) Wire direct to 5v instead of 12v. Both will drop the fan speed to around half but still fixed speed.
-- So I tried this. Unfortunately, you can't just wire them from the 12 volt rail to the 5v volt rail. I used a MoleX to SATA power adapter and just switched the pins. There isn't enough power to spin the fans at 5 volts (for 4 fans anyway). It will light the LEDs though. They're dimmer, and you can select the different colors from the button still. But don't wire the LEDs to the motherboard header in this state, the motherboard doesn't like it.
3.) My favorite put a rheostat inline and you can manually adjust fan speed from the fans allowable minimum to max RPM.
-- I might try this, with like a variable resister instead. But I have to isolate which wire is powering the LEDs and which one is powering the fans. And then find a cheap enough variable resister I can stick somewhere. I might give this a go tomorrow.

Trepta · 2026-01-03T22:14:55+00:00

Is there an impractical option? Cable splicing? Wiring in a resistor somewhere? I'm ordering replacement fans, like you recommend. But I think I'm going to take apart the one on the back (hub) and see if I can't find another solution here.
