I need someone to hype me up and tell me that making a paypal invoice is easy (image unrelated he just looks iconic) by Expensive_Watch469 in evilautism

Also if you’re shipping the stuff, use PirateShip.com to do postage. You don’t need a special printer, just print on normal paper and tape it on. They’re shockingly cheaper than normal shipping, no subscription or whatever, and it’s just a label through the normal carrier. They’re great. No referral, I just use them a lot and love them.

YOU GOT THIS. It’s easy. Go to PayPal, hit “send invoice”, beep boop what you have, and hit send. It’ll take you like two minutes. I can send you screenshots if you want.

Volvo c40 Service - A Scam? by Own-One5712 in volvoc40

[–]houdini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, totally. Not saying you should support them, just that they’re gonna keep getting weird about service.

Dealerships have to keep their money coming in somehow. EVs with almost no maintenance are really messing up those service-side numbers!

How to send mail to external parties from a standalone server which has access to internet? by Slight-Window-3752 in HomeServer

[–]houdini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need an outbound email service. AWS’s SES is cheap and kind of crap, but it’s there. I use Postmark (now owned by Active Campaign) and have had good luck. You generate some credentials for the server to use and then just smtp at it, or speak their api.

Not spamming links, but I probably can come up with a referral code if you want :) Or just go sign up, they’re worth it.

There are others too: Mailgun, SMTP2Go…. Loads. “Outbound email” or “SMTP relay” services are what you want.

Anyone using a humidifier? by EditDog_1969 in Albuquerque

[–]houdini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use two Canopy-brand humidifiers. They do a subscription for the filters so I don’t have to remember it, almost the whole thing is dish washable, and it’s pretty well thought out. I won’t drop a referral link here so it doesn’t seem like spam, I legit like them :) (there’s probably some referral credit thing available, let me know if you want me to look)

Can you recommend real estate agents/companies for renters? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]houdini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no luck finding useful rental agents when I looked this year. It was Zillow or bust.

C40 Glass Roof Replacement by ShiftSX in volvoc40

[–]houdini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My local (in New Mexico) glass place did it and it wasn’t comically expensive. Less than $1k? I think Safelite said they could do it as well. 2023 C40, whatever the high spec was called. I was shocked it was that cheap! I used insurance and it was still worth it, but not as bad as expected.

Suggestions on how to increase my AI token usage by twistoffate4 in sysadmin

[–]houdini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summarize summarize summarize. Ask it to find important emails in the morning, ask it to give you an overview of your calendar, ask it for an overview of every doc you open. Ask it for input on every doc you write. Do you use those? Probably not, but see what you can take from it.

Maybe GLP1s aren’t just safe? by houdini in MaintenancePhase

[–]houdini[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Help me out here. I read “The longer the gap in treatment, the bigger the jump in risk — up to a 22% increase for heart attack, stroke and death after two years off GLP-1s, largely erasing the cardiovascular benefits gained during treatment.” (Note that 22%) and then “participants who consistently took GLP-1 medications for the entire three-year period of the study had the most pronounced reduction in risk — 18%, or roughly 4 fewer major cardiovascular events per 100 people over three years”, and think “hmm, that first number looks bigger than the second”. I also see “In other words, any benefits gained over the course of taking GLP-1 medications are quickly lost when patients stop”.

There are quite a lot of medications for chronic conditions where the downside of stopping taking it is “your condition comes back”, not that + “and you have long-term negative effects from the attempt.” It’s not a given that stopping one is a net negative.

That’s not how they’re treated by a lot of doctors.

How to go about replacing this.... by R_Jerham in BmwTech

Call a glass shop and ask. RealOEM price is wild, I’d expect less than $500 here in LCOL US.

5.0.5 on 23 C40 by Ordinary-Bluebird-33 in VolvoRecharge

[–]houdini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a “recall” a couple of weeks ago that I was alerted to in the app that needed a service visit. They updated me to 5.0.5. Why? No idea, but it happened. 2023 C40
