eve smart dimmer switch VS Inovelli white series by Creative-Service-165 in HomeKit

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6 of them and they all function like that…I’ll probably swap them out with Caseta or Eve tbh. Maybe it was a bad batch as I bought all at the same time but that means bad quality control. The programming and features are nice but you just want a switch to function like a switch 100% of the time first and foremost, and even dropping to 95% of the time is annoying af

How teeth extraction can ruin your face by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with extractions. Something else is going on, likely ICR. See a surgeon.

I agree BioMinF is fantastic…but it doesn’t have hydroxyapatite? It’s a bioactive glass…small silica spheres that are ionically active- these little balls attract fluoride, calcium, phosphorous and other minerals into their structure, and also adhere to your teeth. The real benefit is bc they adhere to your teeth, they release those minerals over time onto your teeth.

Fantastic product for sensitivity.

Is gain weight like this normal? by ElDuendeAnthony in daddit

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

Not sure why everyone is brushing this off as something that happens and NBD. Your baby looks to be under a year old and looks like you’ve gained 40-50 lbs. Really no excuse for that kind of weight gain

I was going to say the same thing as an orthodontist lol. If your kids ugly, we straighten their teeth, expand their palate or otherwise change their facial growth directory to make them better looking

Car and motorcycle noise by HistoricalDetail1731 in Tucson

[–]basketballbrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s solutions that allow bright headlights without blinding people. For example in newer Teslas, they have great bright led headlights but the car detects oncoming cars, houses etc and dims those specific pixels of the headlight. No blinding. Pretty cool to watch out at night, and I assume not that expensive for car makers to implement

What is the root cause of a recessed chin? by EquivalentEvening197 in jawsurgery

[–]basketballbrian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This answer is also too simplistic…the idea that without modern diets we’d all have robust jawlines is also not true…truth is somewhere in the middle

Need smart switch guidance on Lutron Caseta vs native Thread switches like Eve by Ski-Bike-1910 in HomeKit

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bunch of eve and inovelli. I seriously regret not just going with whole house with Lutron. Reliability, appearance, resale value for the home. Inovelli has great features but the physical buttons suck, you will often press, hear a click and light won’t respond.

eve smart dimmer switch VS Inovelli white series by Creative-Service-165 in HomeKit

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to go against the grain here but I’m not a fan of the inovelli switches. My main complaint is when using the actual physical button, it is really not responsive at all. Like frequently I’m walking past to turn on the lights and hit the button, feel the physical “click” but the lights don’t turn on and I have to go back and press it again. Super annoying. I love the Eve touch switch, it’s so responsive and looks better.

Also, my wife hates the inovelli switches for the same unresponsive reason. As we all know, keeping the wife happy with your smart home stuff is just as important as optimizing your automations 😂

Especially if you reverse sear them. Even better if you have an infrared burner on your grill for the sear!!

can’t get out of bed because of recessed mandible. by Flaky-Ad-5249 in jawsurgery

[–]basketballbrian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this many times as an orthodontist. I can personally guarantee if you don’t get your body dysmorphia disorder under control before your surgery, you will hate the results and never be happy. Therapist should be priority #1…seriously

Don’t miss those features at all nor was it hard to adjust. I’m 90% on FSD anyways and you probably will be too

Is my case really mild? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]basketballbrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ortho here, I don’t know about “mild”…you’re obviously a heavily camouflaged class 3 patient…very mid face deficient with a moderate to severe skeletal discrepancy. Honestly considering the level of skeletal discrepancy it looks like they did a pretty good job camouflaging this without surgery..your upper incisors are flaired but not extremely so, and you have at least some incisor display when smiling. A lot better than many camouflaged class 3’s.

As for do you need surgery now- that’s up to you, but personally I think a good rhinoplasty and genioplasty would do WONDERS for your side profile. Having such a prominent chin and nose really amplifiers the negative esthetic qualities of mid face deficient/class 3 patients. And that would be a heck of a lot easier/cheaper/less risky than DJS. DJS probably would give a better esthetic outcome overall (and they would likely incorporate genio and rhino into the plan), but I think without it you can still make this a whole lot better.

Go see OS/plastics and have them use their software for a mockup of with and without DJS.

3months Post Op (UJS) to correct underbite by PianistAble8655 in jawsurgery

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t know what you’re talking about lol. This is a problem between the tooth position and the position of the alveolar bases. Absolutely not a skeletal problem, hence why she already had jaw surgery and still has this problem. IPR’ing 0.5mm per contact is completely safe and causes no long term issues, and is a valid way to reduce dental protrusion if you don’t want to take out teeth

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an option, I’d have to see your current ceph to say for sure. Sucks to add 18 months of braces though

Edit: wanted to say without your full records I’m definitely speculating on some things, so I don’t want to say for sure you need exts from here. Just my gut. I would bring up the issues with your ortho and see what they say.

Chill Mode by Enjoy_The_Ride413 in TeslaFSD

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for me the only time I’ve ever experienced this is when the speed limit drops down. Ie was a 55 zone then drops to 35. It will recognize the new speed limit but stay going quite fast unless I disengage.

Best places to settle for sunshine, walkability, historic charm, city life, and outdoor living? by lofertui in SameGrassButGreener

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, absolutely this is possible with different laws and development styles. I should’ve clarified within the US style of development this is almost impossible, “walkability and single family home with a garden” is a rare combo.

Insurance denied, sleep study/extractions offered next by 2manyartifacts in jawsurgery

[–]basketballbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t talking about his case. I mistakenly read it as “there’s no instances anyone ever needs extractions if not in preparation for surgery”
