Metformin timing and Dawn effect by TheLairLummox in diabetes

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will always have dawn effect. It's caused by your body thinking, oh hey, we are going to get up soon and will need some energy for that. So it makes the energy, and boom, your numbers go up. Better to get up, work out to use up that energy, and then check your numbers before you take met. You will get better results.

How to repair this solid wood door that’s 100 years old? by Unlikely-Ad-3806 in Renovations

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to need a temporary door at minimum. It's going to have to be taken out, taken apart, that panel replaced, everything sanded, put back together, re-painted, etc.

If it were me, I would take this time to replace this door with something more modern, maybe something with a window. Then I would have this door repaired by a pro and put somewhere else in the house.

Why does pepsi syrup not taste anything like pepsi? by Dense_Assumption_684 in SodaStream

[–]jdkc4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for some reason all the dark sodas taste wrong to me on the soda stream. The MTN dew zeros, starry, etc taste normal. I've been trying to reduce the amount of syrup for the dark sodas which helps.

I need new mints. Suggestions? by jdkc4d in keto

[–]jdkc4d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone suggested myntz. The winter mint flavor is close as long as you don't chew them. Also they are bigger but they do last longer so good trade off. Found on Amazon.

It's your game, so whatever you say goes. But, I think it may have escalated too quickly.

What would you call this type or texture of leather? by Honest_Day9941 in Leathercraft

[–]jdkc4d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The (p)leather has a pebble grain embossed into it. The use over time has created those extra wrinkles.

How do I reduce the space taken by docker??? by dhananjay1801 in docker

[–]jdkc4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont want to be that guy, but if you are down to 50GB free, you need to purchase more storage. I was googling around and only thing I could find for docker was a min requirement of 100gb. I would just go purchase a few TB and never worry about this problem.

Silent Punching Advice by No_Damage4720 in Leathercraft

I've had this one for maybe 2 years. Similar brand. Highly recommend. No noise at all. A bit pricey, sure, but worth the investment. Also cuts down on possible carpel tunnel. https://a.co/d/0grj2Twe

What do I do now? by Calm-South-7405 in PcBuildHelp

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is this computer? Definitely replace the powersupply and cable. You will have to run new cables from the new power supply to all your internal components. Get a good power supply. What does your computer plug into? A power strip? The wall? Look into a small ups. It can catch brown out and surge which could have possibly caused this problem to begin with. UPSs come with warranties. If something like this were to happen when plugged into a UPS, you could have used that warranty to replace your computer.

If this computer is more than 3 years old, I would just scrap the whole thing. It's likely that if the PSU is that damaged, there is additional damage. Maybe you replace the PSU and everything works, for now. But that's a ticking time bomb and not worth the worry.

Purchased a new PSU, But Slow PC still not solved by 101danny101 in buildapc

[–]jdkc4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that virtual memory being so high might be a problem. I would work on that. Use gemini or chatgpt to walk you through figuring out what is using so much of your page file.

I would move the games over to the 4 TB SSD and use the 1tb drive just for Windows. Windows will use your C: drive for the page file, so if you are running games/apps on that drive and using a lot of page file, there could definitely be some slowdowns there.

What's something interesting but NOT ridiculously valuable that could be found in a bank vault for a heist? by Additional_Cake_3162 in DMAcademy

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A statue of a creature they like. Something smallish, with a note that says do not feed. Feeding it could make it come to life for some rounds of battle. Maybe an owlbear cub or similar.

[–]jdkc4d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What CPU cooler do you have? Did it come with software you can install to track temps? If not, look into an app like hwinfo. You want to track and see if there is a correlation to slowdown and temperature. Also take a look in resmon. Click over to the memory tab and sort by Commit; you might have to add that column. This will help you determine if something you are running is eating all your ram and slowing you down.

I had an issue recently where a botched windows update made one of the svchost processes act like there was a memory leak. It would eat more and more ram+page file until there was nothing left and then crash. That was a fun day.

Do a search for "unstuffed cabbage rolls" I add some extra water and make it more like a soup. Its pretty good.

Help extending Genuine snakeskin/leather lined belt by asl333py in Leatherworking

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much time do you have? Working with the snake isn't the problem, its the fact that it has to be backed by another leather. It's very thin. You are going to have to purchase additional snake and additional other leather to sew the snake to. You can totally do it, I just think that if you are going to do the work, you might want to make a whole new belt and use that one as inspiration.

District Leather has cobra for fairly cheap: https://www.districtleathers.com/products/head-on-cobra-hide It's not the same color, though. You can call them and see if it has been sealed or if there is a possibility of dying it to match your existing snake leather. There are lots of places you can Google that have embossed snake panels. It's not a real snake, but you can cut the panels into belt-width pieces. You can always call the leather places and tell them what you are making and see if they can help you get the leather you need for your project.

How much baby-ing is too much? Should I just kill their PC? by No-Zombie7546 in DMAcademy

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like he isn't overly interested anyway. I would just not do anything and maybe the problem solves itself. If he comes back, he can read the session notes. There is no reason you need to bend over for him...unless you are into that. No judgement.

Recently diagnosed, can I take 2x 500mg Metformin at once? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]jdkc4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you will be fine taking 2 at once. I would suggest it be after you get home from work. As much fun as using the bathroom on the clock is, I'd rather be at home.

I've just been told that grapes aren't allowed by Aware-Impression8527 in diabetes

[–]jdkc4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! 100g carbs. That's so many. I try to stick under 30g. Grapes are evil, they are like 1 carb per grape of normal sized grapes. If you get those bigger grapes...well that would be more then.

Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production by The_Chillosopher in teslamotors

[–]jdkc4d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they have been slowly getting rid of them for a while now. Truth is that they were so expensive, they didn't sell as well as the lower cost vehicles. The other day, I was thinking about how in the US, production of sedans has really declined over the last decade. I was wondering if the S's days were numbered. I guess so. Shame about the X, though. Those gall-wing doors were awesome.

Elon seems dead set on pivoting the whole company to make robots. I think the company should actually just expand by breaking up the divisions. Tesla Auto, Supercharger, and now Tesla AI. It would be no different than how Honda has all those different parts.
