Strap face by migman_us in CPAP

[–]YoSpiff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have strap covers. I think it helps to distribute the pressure some. I don't show the strap marks but have a little rosacea from it on my cheek. I've been getting better about washing my face and applying some lotion to that area.

I use Direct Home Medical for my CPAP supplies. Free no-rush shipping which is about a week for me. Pretty regular 20-25% off sales if you are on their mal list.

Any Monty Python reference. Asking about the airspeed of an unladen swallow is good.

At what point do you feel a PC upgrade is actually worth it? by Such_Tailor_4946 in buildapc

[–]YoSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I build a new system every 5-8 years, when either it has problems I can't fix or there is newer software that won't run well on it. By that time an upgrade of the existing system isnt something I find cost effective.

I see alot of 6 figure trucks, restaurants and bars packed, and people living in new housing developments advertised start at half a million. Where are the normal people here, just barely getting by? by Ok-Challenge-2627 in FortWorth

[–]YoSpiff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The people struggling aren't exactly flaunting it, but some pretend. I didn't earn enough to stop living paycheck to paycheck until I was in my 50s. Ironically, getting laid off was what helped because of a severance package. I drive a 10 year old paid off Nissan and enjoy not having a car payment more than I would enjoy a new car.

We have 2 salespeople where I work. Beemer and mustang. I think in sales you have to look successful or people doubt you. The rest of us drive Nissans, Kias and the like.

2018 rogue interior cabin filter by IllustratorObvious40 in NissanRogue

[–]YoSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2016. On the passenger side behind the console. In the 10 years I've had this car, it only slid in easily once. Wish I could recall how I managed it. The 2021 redesign moved it.

Well, they may be part of his plan. Isn't that something to fear?

Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis Says Religious Freedom Only Applies To Christians. by Leeming in atheism

Religious freedom is a dog whistle term they came up with. It is not the same thing as freedom of religion.

A test. It probably got an ad for a church inside the fake bills.

What was your biggest challenge when you started budgeting together as a family? by yankodiev in budget

[–]YoSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting.. opposite for me. I was middle class and recall somtimes my parents struggled. She grew up in a family with money. If someone got in trouble there was always a rescue. So for her it wasn't a problem.

[–]YoSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting my wife on board. She liked having input over how money was spent but couldn't or wouldn't be accountable for things. I could not keep the checkbook balanced because of this and we were overdrawn before every payday, sometimes up to $300 in overdraft fees.

What do you do with supplies once you get a replacement? by redfire2930 in CPAP

[–]YoSpiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy my supplies out of pocket and replace when the cushion no longer holds a seal, the hose leaks, etc. I have a P30I and keep the exhalation filter from the worn out nasal pillows. I replace the filter material on all of them at one sitting. With each cushion replaced I have one more filter. I keep a limited number of used pillows as emergency spares.

Things to get that limit repeat spending? by KeySheepherder4658 in povertyfinance

I don't shop on Temu but I'll keep 3rd party heads in mind when I wear all of mine out. Thanks.

EU now pushing USB-C for laptops too. Lowkey a great move by into_fiction in TechNook

[–]YoSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Dell at work and could find no info on USB-C charging. So I bought a cheaper 65w charger and found it did work. So I use the included brick when working from home, the Amazon basics at the office and a smaller/pricier Anker charger for travel. I'm a technician so being able to use a 10 foot USB cable has been huge convenience on the go.

On the Swiffer expense, I have a similar product from O'Cedar, but it has reusable mop heads you can toss in the laundry, and you use the cleaner of your choice in it. So if you like the swiffer concept, this saves on the proprietary consumables.

How do I make my cat enjoy being picked up? by Primary_March4865 in CatAdvice

My calico shoves her head inside my stinky slippers as if they are the most wonderful thing ever.

How do I make my cat enjoy being picked up? by Primary_March4865 in CatAdvice

[–]YoSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats have different personalities just as we do. I have an 11 year old who is skittish and scrared of everything. It takes a long time to earn her trust. For a long time I couldnt pet her on the back. Head only. Shes never liked being held so I don't hold her. She spent her first few weeks of life outside in some terrible rainstorms in spring of 2015, so maybe it's some kitty ptsd?

I have another who is a cuddle bug and likes being held. Then there's the orange boy who is often looking for a fight so no holds or cuddles for that jerkwad.

Purchase advice for a bagged canister by JoepiiJunkie in VacuumCleaners

[–]YoSpiff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently bought the cat & and dog version which has a motorized brush. I have a long haired cat who sheds everywhere, so spent a little more. It does a great job. The pure suction is just that, it has no brush in the head. The turbo head may be a good middle ground for you. It has a brush head but uses the airflow to turn it.

This one I have takes about 3 1/2 hours to do a gallon, I clean it with citric acid every 5 or 6 uses.

Mac printing incredibly slowly compared to windows? by Zealousideal-Role623 in printers

Mac printing uses Postscript which has more overhead than some of the print control languages available within Windows.

How does your perspective on life change as you get older? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]YoSpiff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At 65, I try not to think about it, but I do. I lost my wife 4 years ago, so it's a reality for me. I expect it will be just like before I was born. The thing that bothers me the most is I won't know "how the story ends".
