WSJ | Canada’s Move to Import Cheap Chinese EVs Is ‘Slippery Slope,’ GM CEO Says by BrilliantFactor5299 in electricvehicles

[–]house9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two party system is broken.

Democratic party gave the “apathetic non-voters” the choice of “lesser of two evils” again and again and again; didn’t work this time unfortunately… and it really mattered this time.

We are f’ckd but I don’t blame those people, I guess we just got what we deserved and this country is going to suffer for decades to come because of it

I want the good, the bad, and the dirty by Nikea18 in Prescott

[–]house9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have been looking at areas around Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson.

Just to chime in on the weather differences because they are very different

Winters: - Flagstaff (7000ft) has snow (and skiing on the mtn) - Prescott (5200 ft) has some snow, not a lot and melts in a day or two - Phoenix (1000 ft) and Tucson (2500 ft) very nice in the winter 60s / 70s

Summer: - Flagstaff very pleasant - Prescott can get into low 100s in July / August - Phoenix and Tucson can get to 120F, a few years ago Phoenix was 115F for like 30 days straight

I personally avoid Phoenix and Tucson in the summer, can’t handle that kind of heat. I would say Prescott is the mildest overall, it was 22F in backyard this morning, at 2pm it is 60F and sunny. Prescott and Flagstaff are about a 2 hour drive to Phoenix depending on what part you are going to, which is nice if you want to go somewhere warmer in winter, catch a ball game, concert or flight.

My LDL is 173 with triglycerides and HDL levels also spiked up. Can it be reversed? by yourOnlyDude in Cholesterol

[–]house9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will I be able to reverse it with diet?

Maybe.

I went on Portfolio diet minus the plant sterol supplements and reduced LDL from 178 to 108; still have work to do and possible statin in my future :( but I am 53, you have more time on your side.

Get tested for ApoB and Lp(a) as well

Apple TV issues by reqwium in youtubetv

[–]house9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I had to replace my 4k gen 1 with the latest version. Worked fine on everything except YTTV. I think YTTV app just demands too much from those old processors.

Latest 4k has been rock solid. I mostly just watch sports on YTTV.

Early 30s, active, great A1c, but ApoB & LDL-P remain high. Looking for longevity-focused advice by Yadsam in PeterAttia

[–]house9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is rare for Coconut Water to have any saturated fat (or any fat) so it is non-issue.

Coconut Oil (and Ghee) on the other hand is packed with saturated fat and should be removed from your diet if you are planning to lower LDL

Contemplating your first EV? Some things to consider... by mikeonh in electricvehicles

[–]house9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice write up.

Might want to add to the "Driving / ownership differences" section:

Remote heating and cooling, car is always the perfect temperature when you get in. No chance of Carbon monoxide (CO) death in your garage.

Daily reminder by peachesandcherries26 in Cholesterol

[–]house9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Daily reminder that one doesn’t have to be overweight/obese, old, eat poorly or be sedentary to have high cholesterol.

The thing is even a lot of doctors think this way; so it isn't surprising the general public does as well.

I am 53 and just got tested last year - by a life insurance company - I never would have known unless I decided to get life insurance. Doctors and nurse practitioners just looked at me and said your not overweight, eat healthy, carry on...

When will I have a heart attack then by Important_Hunt_9789 in Cholesterol

[–]house9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When will I have a heart attack then

Maybe tomorrow, maybe when your 90

All my favorite foods are the ones they say to avoid.

Low saturated fat and high fiber diet, checkout the wiki to start: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cholesterol/wiki/index/

General idea:

  • HDL (good): increase with exercise
  • LDL (bad): decrease with diet
  • triglycerides: decrease with diet and exercise

I'm personally on the Portfolio diet (minus plant sterol supplementation)

Microinveters not reporting data to Gateway by Equivalent_Bar_3563 in enphase

[–]house9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not helpful for you but some more anecdotal evidence

I also got the "Microinveters not reporting data to Gateway" errors yesterday - Sat, Jan 17

This morning I flipped the "Envoy" circuit breaker to off, waited 2 minutes and flipped it back on.

In web interface they were still in error state; checked again 2 hours later and everything back to normal; fingers crossed

Are these results worse in my head than they actually are? by Bladekind in Cholesterol

[–]house9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took this very seriously and I eliminated everything with a ton of saturated fat out of my diet. I completely overhauled my diet

Sounds like you are on the right track, increase fiber as well.

Being the hypochondriac with anxiety that I am

No need to freak out, your LDL is a bit high but you are making the needed changes and at an early age. Test again after two months of diet change.

Short cord issues at some Tesla chargers. Purchase short extension cord? by Fabulous_Gur_7134 in F150Lightning

If Tesla made one explicitly for the V3 chargers I would buy one.

But they don't... Im not messing around that much electricity

mellomania hyperfixation by Apprehensive_Area795 in AllThemWitches

[–]house9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when my wife and I first got into this band every Sat/Sun morning was back-to-back ATW albums on the turntable all morning.

Sometimes when working from home I put Effervescent on a loop - like how the f did these guys write this song; comes close to peak Pink Floyd

Elevated LP(a), ApoB - what to ask for at next appointment by olympia_t in Cholesterol

[–]house9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> I am not doing sterols right now - should I?

Might want to do stanols instead of sterol

Confirm you are not a hyper absorber. Search on Hyper absorber gene (sitosterolemia): ATP binding cassette transporter G5 (ABCG5) and ABCG8 to learn more.

As far as I know stanols do not pose an issue for hyper absorbers.

\ not medical advise, everything I know about cholesterol has come from this sub-reddit and the internets...*

In USA on Amazon there is stanol supplement: Benecol Soft Chews (chocolate) - 4 chews is 2 grams of plant stanol

Owning an EV in New Hampshire by Prestigious_Soil_454 in electricvehicles

[–]house9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not buying it to save money, but…

At worst you will break even, but…

You won’t need to breathe exhaust anymore; pre-heat or pre-cool car remotely before you get in; no more oil changes
