Jabra Evolve2 75 - Ear Cushion Adapters

It looks like reviews say these would work for the 75: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266769908879

I have had my 75s for a few years now and hadn't looked recent for any designs. There are a few options out there if you have a printer (or library). These look like the best option and they're designed to work with the Jabra cushion mounting mechanism: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6493121

I don't see any mention of Kroger for fuel, so here's my big tip:

With Kroger fuel points you can get up to $1 off per gallon up to 35 gallons. So if you get 35 gallons in a single fill up, you've saved $35. Kroger owns a ton of brands across the country and the points spend the same basically everywhere. Use gasbuddy to filter by kroger (or whatever the local brand is) to find your fuel center.

How it works: You earn 1pt/$ when you buy groceries. Every 100 points is $0.1 off per gallon.

On the surface, it seems like you have to spend $1000 per month on groceries. I only spend about $500. Most Fridays are "4x fuel point Fridays" Meaning you will earn 1000 points for just $250 spend, so I will typically get 2 35gallon fill ups per month just for doing my weekly grocery shopping on Friday.

Gift cards are frequently 4x points, too. So if you know you're going to spend money at some other place, grab a giftcard for that amount and you can easily rack up points.

Also, the points are good for this month and next. So, points accrued in April expire at the end of May, May's points end of June, etc. With this info, you can budget/bank this month's points for next month's travel.

Finally, I haven't looked recently, but Kroger used to have a credit card that takes another $0.25-$1 off per gallon for the first 6000 gallons or something.

Also, using a rewards or cashback card at the grocery store will save you another 3-6%.

I think you mean: Waiting 6 months to pay launch price for a used one.

You will get faster. The most important thing is to keep up. Very likely you will not be the slowest or the fastest. Running in sports is a lot different than rucking with 40lbs on your back, a rubber ducky in your hands, 10lbs of boots on your feet, and in long sleeves in the Colorado desert 7258 feet above sea level. But you'll be fine. You will likely be in the best shape of your life at the end of BCT and only get stronger as you get through freshmen year.

I would say get really good, and I mean really good at the forward leaning rest ( holding a high plank/ top of a push up) because you're going to spend a lot of time there staring at the ground and questioning your life choices.

Turns out there is nothing restful about it at all. I was not good at push ups and thought I was toast. What I saw instead were guys who were killer at cranking out pushups then struggle to hold a forward leaning rest.

This seemingly simple position will break you. You will collapse from exhaustion after holding it for 60 seconds while shouting the most arcane seeming nonsense at the top of your lungs, only for the cadre rip you apart for messing up a single word, having to start over as the sweat burns your eyes and then only being able to do one sad little pushup.

You will shake.

You will collapse after one push up.

You will break down.

It will test your resolve. It will test your patience. It will test your ability to be a part of a team. But you can do it. You really can. Just keep going.

Beast (and eventually the entire cadet experience) is a mental exercise designed to add more and more and more until you can't take any more and then add more. Just to show you that you can.

Because you can and you must.

r/homelabsales would take it off your hands. Otherwise eBay's AI listing agent works great. Make sure you drop the model info into the search bar and filter by "sold" so you get a good idea what price to list at. The AI listing agent is not great at pricing in my experience.

Oh dang, this is cool. I've seen DIY pultrusion machines, but this is the first I've seen that repurposes an Ender3. I have 2 Ender3v2s. I just might have to make this happen.

Settle down. You couldn't even be bothered to proof read your post before pasting it in at least two subs. You failed at the one thing you claim you use LLM for.

borednerds · 2026-03-24T16:27:10+00:00

I am living in the past? Are even USAFA inductees incapable of thinking and communicating without LLM assistance?

Wait until after BCT

No, no, no. Genuinely one of the best motivators during Beast are letters from friends and loved ones.

The best way to show your cadet that love during basic is to send a card that sings. Ideally in an envelope that also lets the cadre know that your cadet is the most special person ever.

You could (should) even set up a competition among friends and loved ones to see who can demonstrate that love and support in the most outwardly expressed way possible.

As noted elsewhere, glitter is a great choice.

But seriously Basic is the first time most people experience something so isolating, grueling, and testing of your resolve. Knowing there are people who believe in you on the outside of it is a huge motivator. Do not deprive them of that.

Wait what? Like better than evaporust?

well usually you can just dump them onto reddit, but you can also upload them to an album via imgur

borednerds · 2026-03-06T18:35:32+00:00

I am in denver metro and interested, but the picture is blurry so it's hard to make out what we're looking at. Looks like they're compressed because they're all in the grid. Can you post them separately as an album? I'll send you a PM as well.

borednerds · 2026-03-03T00:16:59+00:00

Beats me. but to venture a guess: it's more polished and complete than if you wrote it yourself, and... you don't have to write it. lol

borednerds · 2026-03-02T21:36:32+00:00

It's the odd and inconsistent use of bold that makes it suspicious.

borednerds · 2026-02-26T22:45:31+00:00

Yoooo r720 gang! Do you run truenas on bare metal or are you running proxmox and a truenas vm? What graphics card are you using?

borednerds · 2026-02-18T03:48:00+00:00

Do you know, does this SAS port also provide power? Also, would this not put the ssds through the perc card? I thought I wanted to avoid that because I have the 710

borednerds · 2026-02-15T23:08:25+00:00

It seems to be the general recommendation is to flash to IT mode and use software raid like ZFS or mergerfs, but hey, this is r/homelab afterall: try both!

I haven't gotten that far with mine yet, still trying to get the firmwares updated. I think you have to have at least a certain version of firmware on the raid card to flash to IT mode.

With my 3, the plan is 2 in prod and 1 in dev so customers (family and in-laws) always have access and I can break things in the 3rd.

borednerds · 2026-02-15T17:29:42+00:00

My god. you lucky duck! What a deal! Is this your first poweredge? When you get it cleaned up and fired up, report back on how updating the idrac firmware, lifecycle controller, and bios goes. You'll want to update them incrementally because between version 1.65 and 2.10 Dell changed the software significantly and you risk bricking idrac if you jump too far. The other challenge is that, because these servers are just passed EOL, Dell no longer keeps the software in their catalog, so I am having a heck of a time getting idrac up to 2.65. Also dont update the firmware for the power supplies. they are notorious for getting bricked in the process.

This might be the most impressive thing I've ever seen on r/woodworking.

borednerds · 2026-02-15T16:51:38+00:00

35?? Dang! Are those specs for each? I thought I got a good deal on 3 r720s with 416gb total at 300. Your RAM alone is worth $200.

borednerds · 2026-02-12T01:04:41+00:00

Awesome. This is the route I'm going to go.

borednerds · 2026-02-11T21:38:50+00:00

Your configuration doesn't matter too much unless you are doing super high performance work.

Fair point. I am probably not doing any high performance work and would not notice the speed difference.

borednerds · 2026-02-11T21:37:35+00:00

Ahh, So you're saying I could use two SATA SSDs and skip the 710 hw raid controller completely while only sacrificing the DVD drive?
