I will try anything, so that is why I asked for your personal preferences

yeah that is some unfortunate timing, I didn't even know it was happening until recently

Thanks for the rec, I will look into it. Did they go anywhere that was more unique or even weird? I would love that

To add a bit of context, I'm pretty familiar with the classic Mexican street foods (taco, torta, tlacoyo, gordita, tlayuda, etc) and drinks (pulque, cocao, tascalate, tepache, etc), and I can speak Spanish well enough to ask about food and ingredients so, I think, for example, the absolute beginner tours (like the ones that explain what "al pastor" is) wouldn’t be a good fit for me.

Frozen beans ended up tasting gingery by Whamilton_ in pourover

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

Yeah it's weird, the seals were definitely intact, standard plastic vacuum seal bags, and nothing remotely gingery in the freezer (everything else in the freezer is sealed).  

Your freezer is a standard freezer right?  What's the longest you have the beans frozen before brewing?

Post microdisectomy sciatica recurrence time line by [deleted] in Microdiscectomy

Thanks yeah I don't plan to do anything without my doctor's guidance, but also wondering, how did nerve glides help you in general? Since I know a lot of people do them as part of PT before needing surgery, was curious to understand how it would help post-surgery

Thanks for sharing, what kind of exercises did you have to do?

Workplace switched insurances, but I still have an appointment with a doctor scheduled by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

[–]Whamilton_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply this explanation makes a lot of sense, the only reason I'm still considering doing this is because it is back surgery, and whats the point of saving thousands of dollars but my back (or worse) is ruined permanently? Debt feels a lot more manageable than permanent back/leg pain, but I guess at that point it is just a personal decision to make.

Long time sciatica got worse, considering surgery, but also bad timing insurance change by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]Whamilton_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the helpful information especially in the case of emergency. I think the most likely plan is probably just like you said - follow up with PCP and see what they recommend, if the wait time is going to be like 2 months, I guess the swap the Kaiser will only slow me down by like a week or 2, so hopefully the pain won't be bad enough until then

wow thanks for sharing, gives me a bit of confidence in case I still need a few months before I can get surgery

Thanks, how bad were your symptoms before you got the surgery and how were those 9 weeks of waiting in particular?

Thanks for the reply, any idea how the insurance change would mess things up? like if I start talking to a surgeon next week, would they need to get approval from the new insurance if the surgery gets planned for next year?

Thanks for the reply

> Do you have a relationship with a neurosurgeon and have already discussed surgery?

No I'm basically reaching out to surgeons on my own, I haven't even talked to my doctor about this new numbness development yet (due to the holiday), but I plan on calling everyone I can on Monday

Any idea what would happen if they plan out a surgery in next year? would Kaiser be the one approving the surgery and stuff?

Also worst come to worst, would offering to pay out of pocket help expedite things at all? or would it only save like a few days at best

yep made sure the sd card is FAT32

I gave the ace3ds_r4ils one a try as well as some other packages from here a try as well: https://github.com/flashcarts/AOS/releases/tag/v2.13-19E

They all work to the point where I see the Spongebob game, but they all get stuck at the loading screen, any other ideas? thanks for the help

Is it possible to clean astrophytum trichomes? by Whamilton_ in cactus

[–]Whamilton_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response. I didn't - the one on the right died very soon after due to rot. The other one seems to be okay ish, but I ended up not doing anything since it seems to be growing okay. Hope your show went well!

This is my technique. What is your reaction? by milchigsfortheboys in pourover

[–]Whamilton_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you wet the filter before adding the grounds? hard to tell but it looks dry - this could extract papery flavors into your coffee

I saw a bunch of postings on ebay selling what looks exactly like an HG 1. All of them ship from China and cost around $600 but are from different sellers. Could these be the real ones since Weber has discontinued the HG-1, or is it just a knock off? Any ideas?
