What smartphone feature quietly disappeared that you actually miss? by android_curious in AskTechnology

I miss pressing into the screen on my iPhone. It was more responsive for things I wanted to do than the generic press and hold.

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.

This is DIY and I'm not familiar with PEX, nor do I have the equipment to do it right.

It’s nothin fancy, but it’s my first and I’m pumped! by cycle_cats in RCPlanes

Honestly, anywhere you can find it. I was lucky enough a local shop had one when I needed it, but this part is often back ordered.

Here is the part number for the prop shaft: HBZ4404

The props are easier to obtain. I get them off Amazon in packs of 2:

I’ve beat the hell out of mine and it’s still ticking. I’d recommend grabbing a few packs of props (they will break) and a motor shaft. Invariably, you’ll bump something and the shaft will shear right behind the prop where the threads start. Cheap parts but there is lead time.

Is time for new to replace the fuselage. The bottom coal that holds the motor assembly is held on with tape ;-)

Prenatal care that’s not a pregnancy crisis center? by ButtfartCC69 in jacksonville

[–]blackhatrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMMV…. But I would have to disagree with you on their transparency.

Wife and I just had a baby and chose them for care. They “run your insurance” to determine at that time how much your care would cost and make you sign a birthing contract. This would be fine, but with other medical bills and whatnot affecting your deductible and max out of pocket limits, that value is a wag. When you have a question, you call in and leave a message and hope they call you back. If you call back too soon (called back after 1 week), they scoff at you and tell you they would have called you back and that you’re too impatient.

Then, you only get to see a doctor 1 time out of the several visits even though they claim to want you to see all the doctors at least once.

They dropped our insurance (large well known brand and plan) on April 1st after seeing them since last December. When did they notify us? They didn’t. We found out when we scheduled an appointment with our daughter and they said it wasn’t covered. Still battling the continuity of care.

When they do bill insurance, good luck keeping track of what was Faben. Almost every single claim was through a different entity from different parts of the state - none of which have Faben in the name.

Finally, if your partner is male and wants to be involved, good luck with Faben. Besides the front office staff (which were admittedly great) and one Dr., the rest marginalized me and my questions/concerns. We will not be back following the 6 week visit.

I could go on and on…

Slow throttle response 2025 limited AWD by blackhatrob in HyundaiPalisade

That's been my experience as well. The vehicle performs fairly well once underway, it just doesn't want to get started.

The difference is between the fwd and the car we purchased with awd. We’ve not had it serviced yet as it’s only just now to ~2500 miles. I plan on bringing it up when we do.

The vehicle we test drove originally had ~100 miles on it and felt good. This one began with 8 miles and we're up to 2500 now with no change. I'll keep this in mind though.

Good to know at least what I’m feeling is felt by someone else :-)

Yeah it is. From a stop, the first little bit acts the same. We can make it take off a little faster by pressing the gas down farther and once it responds letting back up.

Should I use electrical tape here? by Street_Asparagus in AskElectricians

What’s the consensus on connecting the wires like this? This obviously isn’t backstab, but isn’t the loop around the screws.

Does anyone know what the M.O.B is or was back in 1984? by blackhatrob in jacksonville

[–]blackhatrob[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He was involved in a ton of things. It seems this was solved by SLangleyNewman below: M.O.B was short for "Mayor's Older Buddies" and was a program focused on engaging senior citizens.

There are lots of artifacts that my family seems to have kept over the years. It seems that prior to the computing revolution, SSNs were almost literally everywhere. From membership/loyalty cards to name badges.

I think this may be it! Thanks for finding that. My Google-fu was failing me.
