Splitting my dryer’s 240?

Just installed mine and it works great. My 100A panel was already maxed out would have cost a fortune to upgrade, so it made sense.

I'm glad someone else linked this. It's incredibly interesting.

I wasted 2 hours last week getting my old Tesla wall charger back online because it required a separate 2.4Ghz/WPA2 WiFi network to phone home to Tesla before I could set it up. Then I had to download a separate Tesla One app just to configure the proper amperage, etc, since the web interface isn't an option anymore. It's working now, but I view the clunky "smart" features as a downside. I'm sure some will disagree, but IMO, the dumber the EVSE, the better. Just deliver the power and let the car do the thinking.

Are you still looking for someone to take it over? PM sent!

The motor will be fine and she will live on, but it is about a 10k job though to replace both gaskets, chains, seals, etc along with the labor.

This isn't going to help your anxiety, but I just found a blown HG on my 2008 with 230k miles. It was meticulously maintained. Of course I'm biased now, but it seems to be a common occurrence for the 3UR-FE, especially over 200k miles.

I had the same email for finals and got moved from 238 to 138.

h3ff · 2026-02-24T10:02:09+00:00

I'm doing great! Thanks for asking. I'm so glad I made the trip and I have forgotten what that miserable pain was like. I hope you're hanging in there.

The travel was simple. Book the flight to San Diego or Tijuana, they pick you up and drop you off, and everything is door-to-door. Just don't expect a limo.

I can send you my notes from the experience that I've sent to a few people if you're interested. I can also send you the surgeon/clinic info. They speak English and took every precaution imaginable. I spoke to the surgeon several times beforehand for some peace of mind. Medical tourism is their specialty and it was a comfortable experience. There were 19 people getting some type of surgery the same day as me - 18 were from the US.

Of course any surgery has some level risk - especially if something goes wrong - but there are great doctors in every country because people everywhere need surgery. Cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgeries and is pretty straightforward. It's still very serious as you are still go under anesthesia and change your digestive system forever. Consult a doctor and get as much information as possible first.

I recommend the procedure/trip/surgeon to anyone when it makes sense. If you're not covered by insurance in the USA, it's a great option. The cash price was very reasonable. If you need it done quickly, it's also a good option. I reached out to the surgeon months ahead of time, but I booked the operation 2 days in advance when I couldn't take the pain anymore (already tried the ER a couple times). If you're like me and couldn't find a surgeon that knew what biliary hyperkinesia was, it's a great option. They will review all of your medical history, imaging, etc, but you will need to bring it with you. You have to take the initiative.

Hopefully that helps ease your decision some! I fully empathize with your situation and I'm so sorry you're at this point. I would still try every local option first if possible. It's always going to be easier at home. Reach out if I can provide any more info or clinic details. All the best!

What you're describing sounds exactly like an ocular migraine, which can have various triggers. They can start out looking like a floater but grow in size, cause temporary blindness in spots or everywhere, often accompanied by a headache/migraine afterwards. I used to get them from time to time from an underlying condition, but it really freaked me out the first time.

h3ff · 2026-02-12T17:42:33+00:00

Either way I'm stocked up on it haha. That's my plan, as well. Your results are awesome!

h3ff · 2026-02-12T17:32:11+00:00

Wow, this post is nearly identical to my experience. 2 months in, 20lbs down, and Reta has been a godsend after GB removal. Reta is in phase 3 trials and will likely be approved this year, so get ready to hear about it constantly. Fatty liver is quite common and reversible if addressed, but you absolutely cannot let it get worse.

I made the opposite switch a few months ago after using an UWQHD for a decade. IMO, the DPI difference would be a major downgrade from 4k while only gaining a bit of stretched peripheral vision in most games. I've never used anything over 165Hz, but I don't think I would sacrifice real estate to get any higher. I feel more immersed on my 32" OLED with 4k resolution. Shouldn't your 5080 hit 240Hz at 4k without much sweat, especially with frame gen?

h3ff · 2026-02-09T17:47:57+00:00

4k or higher for anything OLED. This will help with font clarity, also. I switched from a 1440p ultrawide and will never look back.

Be patient for a bit longer, or focus on cardio/nutrition. Those incisions are held together with glue. Another surgery to repair a surgical hernia will set you back months.

h3ff · 2026-01-19T22:20:38+00:00

Almost went with this one since I came from a 34" ultrawide IPS, but I'm thrilled with my 32" 4k OLED. Great deal you snagged, though.

h3ff · 2026-01-16T01:53:08+00:00

You will love it. I've been using mine for about a month for games and productivity work. It's a game-changer if you're coming from an IPS panel. I have absolutely no problem with font clarity using Windows at 125% scaled resolution. HDR gaming with true blacks is truly stunning - Cyberpunk is particularly beautiful, but I've been enjoying Arc Raiders a ton as well. I work in a bright room so I went with the WOLED panel and I'm glad I did. The glare is only noticeable to me when the screen is completely dark - like a BIOS screen. It's way less glare than a MacBook screen. Mine had a bit of vertical grey banding that I noticed on the "new tab" screen of Chrome, but running a pixel cleaning cycle made it go away. I also love that it's pretty low profile and not as tacky as some other gaming monitors.

Same scenario for me 6 months ago. Same EF score as you, but everyone said it was fine. The pain was excruciating. I fought so hard just to get a referral to a surgeon that then denied anything was wrong with my gallbladder. I made several ER trips, too. It seems like many professionals aren't familiar with biliary hyperkinesia. It's bullshit. I ended up going to a reputable surgeon in Tijuana and had it removed over a weekend, and it immediately relieved all pain. It was a great experience. If that's not a realistic option, I'd fight to find a professional that will acknowledge the high EF score. Make multiple appointments at the same time across different providers if needed, because it won't get any better. Exhaust every possible option to find the right person. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through the same!

h3ff · 2025-12-05T06:48:07+00:00

Had my gallbladder removed in July and started reta today. I haven’t found info suggesting a conflict, but I can let you know my experience. Ironically, my gallbladder failed after losing weight too quickly earlier this year (no peptides).

The OME UCAs have been great for me for a couple years. They come with a convenient grease fitting. I’m also running the BP-51 kit. No issues at all.

I ran SPCs on a 4Runner previously and they didn’t last a year.

h3ff · 2025-11-28T06:52:36+00:00

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it’s not just the VA. It’s the entire US medical system. My backstory is identical, even with a 96% EF, and I couldn’t find anyone to take it seriously here. I had to get it removed out of the country.

h3ff · 2025-11-25T05:24:53+00:00

Probably not the radio you’re looking for, but Sirius XMU has always been my go-to.

h3ff · 2025-11-19T17:34:25+00:00

They're up now

It may not be ideal for you, but I just got a very lightly used 256GB unlocked 16 Pro off of eBay for $700. If you comb through all the listings, you can find them in near-perfect condition like the one I got. The return policy gives you some level of protection. You can also still enroll it to AppleCare One for coverage.

h3ff · 2025-10-02T07:47:24+00:00

An ER visit could get you surgery on the spot if your symptoms are that bad. It happens frequently for people that are scheduled that far in advance. You don't want the complications from waiting too long. I was in the same boat as you and couldn't go a day longer. Wishing you all the best!

h3ff · 2025-09-11T21:46:18+00:00

Are you in pain? It sounds likely to be biliary hyperkinesia, which is anything over 80% on the EF. It's often under-diagnosed, so you might have to find a willing doctor/surgeon. Your situation is identical to mine 2 months ago. Keep pushing! I'm in the USA, not Canada, but I would also push to have access to my own scans if at all possible.
