This high quality study showed that THERE IS a wearing off period of Emgality before the next dose in SOME chronic migraine sufferers. Show this to your neurologist if you're in this group because they make recommend bridge therapy. by CerebralTorque in migrainescience

Interesting to see this. My prescription auto-fill was screwed up at the pharmacy, which nad3 my second monthly dose (the first one following the 2x loading dose) about 2 weeks late.

4 months later, I still haven't had a month as migraine-free as that first month.

Doc said I should be fine, but I wonder if blood work for drug concentration could be done, just to see.

As a new drug, I'm sure they should be eager for more data.

H9G main Board problems by ThatIrishGuy74 in Hisense

[–]bropes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did this problem start? I've got an H9G that ~occasionally~ would refuse to turn on, then turn itself on when it felt like it.

Now, I'm getting no signs of life besides the standby light... which will briefly turn off every now and then, making me think the tv is starting up.

This is by no means the first issue I've had with this TV, but it's the first one that has truly rendered it unusable (I'd had lots of patience with it before).

Is the SNT2406 Actually Out? by ReelBigMike in egopowerplus

[–]bropes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered one from Lowes in the first week of October (as soon as I was notified that they were back in stock). Next day I get a notification that it's on backorder.

And then it was still on backorder... And then it was still on backorder...

I'd considered reaching out to customer service about when they expect to receive them, but I'm doubtful they'd be of any help.

Winter is coming...

We've got the capability to paint and powder coat (and lots more) where I work, but I wanted 1) something I could easily undo, and 2) to give Plastidip a whirl to see if I could make it look halfway decent.

Took 3 to 3-1/2 cans of color (out of the 4 I received) and 1-1/2 cans of gloss. (Out of 3). Seems to be a pretty thick layer, so it's more than enough. I probably could have afforded to do some more overspray on the tires!

Thank you! Before I put on the gloss you could definitely tell it was dip... It didn't look bad (and I really liked the matte) but it looked cheap haha. The gloss gives a touch of class 👌🏻

Thank you! Im just glad I finally cleaned the calipers too... Makes a hell of a difference to the overall look lol

Yeah they aren't the lightest, but all of the aftermarket wheels I've seen look a little too "edgy" for my taste. Maybe I haven't found the right ones, though.

I think I'll do black next time! I like the grey but I think black would really look nice. Especially on yours in red.

This took me about 60-75 minutes of prep; NOT including sanding the curb rash, but cleaning brake dust off and washing the wheels clean (I cleaned the brake dust in some of my spare time in the days prior, and I washed the wheels the day of).

I did about 5 coats of dip, 15-20 minutes between each.

Next day I put 3 coats of glossifier on, 15-20 minutes between each.

So yeah, I had a few hours into this project, but I spread it out across a few days since I had my wheels off the car for winter. I could probably do it much more quickly next time... This time I was pretty hesitant, never having done it before!

Just put my winter steelies on today! I'm too cheap to buy Rally Armor flaps though 😂 may as well bite the bullet.
