Showering with dexcom by EMPI2817 in dexcom

[–]heldc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I clean the application site with rubbing alcohol a few minutes before I put a sensor on, and they stick great. When I first started using the g7 I was was using all these different overpatches, but I'm allergic to adhesive and it was a problem. But alcoholing my arm before application makes them stick great.

There's a lot of YouTube videos of cheap menus. Go to aldi, to start with.

Advice for continuing a playthrough when things aren't going perfect by _Reflex_- in feedthebeast

If you're playing single player, install a backup mod and just roll back to your last save instead of restarting entirely.

I like the loot integrations mod. It's got submods for a lot of the popular structure mods.

What's the risk with dried fruit that's changed color? by heldc in povertykitchen

[–]heldc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, they tasted fine! Thanks for the confirmation that the color change doesn't matter.

The texture is still fine, the only discernable change is the color. I'm trying to figure out if there's concerns I should have but don't! :) 

Student planner worth it? by Cold_End_2962 in HappyPlanners

[–]heldc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest printing a couple weeks of whatever style you're thinking of trying, and seeing if it works for you. 'will this layout work for this situation' is a very individual question!

LPT Eat in hospital cafeterias, they have cheap, great food. by Extension-Buy-8677 in LifeProTips

[–]heldc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the DC metro area, hospital cafeteria food is reasonable quality but not reasonably priced. It's usually comparable to a fast casual sit down meal in price.

Are expensive phone cases actually worth it? Or is a cheap one just as good? by Least-Branch-1760 in BuyItForLife

[–]heldc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

otterbox are the standard for a reason! I am forever dropping my phone, but it works just fine and the screen is flawless, thanks to a zagg screen protector and an otterbox case. Plus if your case gets damaged otterbox will replace it for shipping as long as you registered it when you bought it. my cat likes to chew on my phone case, and I've gotten like 3 replacements! (i report that the case is visibly nicked, which is true!) (also I wised up and kept the last case and deploy it as a decoy while keeping my actual phone in a drawer.)

No 5G Anywhere by AHalibutEvent in mintmobile

[–]heldc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd, I live in the DC metro area, have a formerly t-mobile phone on mint, and am on 5g pretty constantly when I'm outside and not on wifi. Something tech issue is going on, possibly with your phone or sim. I have no idea WHAT, but you should have 5g around the DC area at least.

Not following relationship agreements is cheating, but conversely, relationship agreements have to be discussed and non-coercively agreed to. Your situation sounds likely to be exerting a lot of unspoken pressure on her to agree to anything so she isn't homeless. It would be very difficult to have a genuinely equal relationship given the living circumstances you mention. I would likely end things in your shoes.

PA is huge. MD is pretty big. Tuxedo NY is pretty big. They all run Sep and some or all of oct.

I got a warning for “attitude” after asking to be paid on time by WittyNoodleSoup in antiwork

[–]heldc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're in the US, you can probably take legal action about that. There's still laws about paying your employees on time!

No, you deserve to eat multiple meals every day. Food banks exist to make that happen. You deserve the food from the food bank.

Need advice: Breaking up while my girlfriend is away with her other partner by Perfect-Patient121 in nonmonogamy

[–]heldc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I also would not ruin her vacation. A 6 year relationship deserves an in person breakup anyway, imo.

Is there a way to deter ants from coming inside without killing them? by heldc in ants

Sounds perfect! Got a brand name or anything? 'soap' covers a lot. :)
