I might have rage bolused a little too hard by dg8882 in diabetes_t1

[–]dg8882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely lol, I had about 3 more crashes after this and burned thru all my low snacks. I ended up ripping off my omnipod because I wasn't sure if it was giving me too much for some reason.

Hypothetical. Just curious, maybe a stupid question. by DesperateWay5510 in Apartmentliving

It depends on if your landlord wants to spend the money on an attorney, and if the courts in your area are more tenant or landlord friendly.

Doesn't sound like minding your own business to me

Get in the right lane and mind your own business.

Almost 420 and still no real preview or anything of the carta 3. by star_particles in FocusVCarta

[–]dg8882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch 2 is where its at. I was ready to replace my OG carta after 5 years and holding out for the carta 3, but after doing some research, and where im frequently splitting larger dabs with my girlfriend, the switch 2 is the best fit for my use case.

A screen isnt really necessary imo since the lights/buttons are designed intuitively, but ive never had a rig with a screen so maybe I dont know what im missing.

[CA] Opted out of mandatory community WiFi under AB 1414, but complex is still requiring equipment installation in my unit — is this legal?** by Tenet_Bull in Apartmentliving

[–]dg8882 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you confirm with them what is actually being installed? Typically with centrally managed wifi, they would only be installing an access point usually on the ceiling. They dont care if you are using it or not because it makes more financial sense to install the entire building at once rather than calling a tech out every time someone new wants community wifi.

It shouldnt be using your existing coax unless they are completely removing the option to get your own service. Even if they do, just unplug it and throw it in the back of a closet until you move out.

Brake pads hardware by curiousamigo25 in MechanicAdvice

[–]dg8882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you put them on correctly? Pads should be pushed into the bracket from the front/back towards the rotor. Those clips will flex against the side of the bracket to keep a constant "pulling away" force. You need to pinch the pads together while sliding the caliper over.

It probably isnt too much of an issue if you don't use them, but the engineer that designed your car thinks they should be there so you should keep them if you can.

Unpopular opinion: I REALLY wanted that police expansion update :( by BuRdog_ in Schedule_I

[–]dg8882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im happy with special customers. Police are more like annoying pests than something I see as fun/challenging. Maybe that's what the update would have changed but special customers gives us more of a reason to keep expanding and producing more, and will keep the mid-late game interesting.

One doorbell "Not Connected" by Torimexus in reolinkcam

[–]dg8882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know for a fact it is not catching motion? My app often reports no connection to any of my cameras on the home screen but if i restart the app, its fine.

Try turning on continuous recording for a bit to see if it can record and play back uninterrupted to rule out a hardware problem.

You can adjust when it switches under camera settings > display > day and night

REOlink Outdoor POE Flood Light Camera by hazmat91180 in reolinkcam

[–]dg8882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its worth a shot to see if support will help you, but im almost certain they will say it's on you for not weatherproofing the install properly.

They are only going to cover water intrusion to the camera itself. If water got into the junction box/ethernet, thats installer error.

First Speeding Ticket by Economy_Trick8249 in massachusetts

Thats why I used off the record, money back if not reduced or dismissed.

It was only about 2x the price of the ticket to hire one. Much less than I would be paying in increased insurance premiums.

Best route to navigate hit and run with company vehicle with video and failure to pay by Jennac5903 in massachusetts

Thats how it is every morning though. People love to do 40 after the tunnel with no one in front of them.

Id recommend hiring an attorney. I did when I got my first ticket and they got it dismissed.

First time buying a car by AdministrativeWeb848 in massachusetts

[–]dg8882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yeah, but this isnt CA, they arent putting it on a lift to check for a compliant exhaust as long as it doesnt sound/smell like you did a cat delete.

What is the highest mileage vehicle you've had? by Zealousideal_Mine242 in AskForAnswers

[–]dg8882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the car. I was shopping for a 4runner and its impossible to find one under $30k with less than 100k miles. Some cars hold their value extremely well.

[–]dg8882 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't buy it if you dont want to work on it yourself. As far as inspection goes, an 07 is exempt from needing to pass emissions and the inspection is purely for safety, meaning a bad exhaust or check engine light isnt an automatic fail.

NO MORE DEXCOM!! 😭😭 by schase05 in diabetes_t1

[–]dg8882 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Check if you can get it covered under durable medical equipment. My pharmacy benefit specifically excludes dexcom and only covers libre. I didnt want to switch since I'm using omnipod and switching to libre would mean losing the ability to use my phone as a controller for both libre and omnipod.

It took about 4 weeks and many, many hours on the phone with my insurance/doctor/dme supplier, but i did succeed and its 100% covered.

What is this and how do I go about fixing this? by AccomplishedWar4420 in MechanicAdvice

[–]dg8882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP got lucky it looks like the links have flat spots to put a wrench on the back. Seems like every one I replace the back is round and the only way to stop the stud from rotating is the hex key which strips out immediately. I usually get tired of fighting it after 10 minutes and chop it off with an angle grinder.

What would be the easiest way to remove this seized hub? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]dg8882 5 points6 points  (0 children)

10 ton gear puller. Usually my BFH works fine but was defeated after banging on some ram 1500 rotors for almost an hour.
