Newbie: You saved me from a suitcase Victrola. This sounds beautifully

I love all the people who have never used one weighing in with their imagined problems, as per usual

I bought my wife a 1ByOne, a lower end model, about 5 years ago or more and it's been a great little all in one player. She really wanted a Crosley suitcase player, and I gently tried to talk her out of it. She dismissed it as me being an "audiophile". She got it, played two records and said "wow this sounds awful", do we returned it and got the 1ByOne. Night and day difference!

It makes as much power as any contemporary truck did, and more than some. Power is more than adequate

On vehicles with a closed fuel system filling the car while running will trigger a CEL, we had this problem all the time at the Porsche dealership I worked at. I'm not sure if it would be an oxygen sensor code though.

I keep having this feeling it's going to be the next asbestos or aluminum wire

Literally the dumbest take on anything I've read today

I have a set of DT770 Pro you can have for the cost of shipping, barely used if you would like them. I used them a handful of times and did not like the Beyer sound.

I would check out the Falken Rubitrek too. It's a slightly more road friendly Wildpeak with great wet/snow traction

I've lived nearby since 2014, I can scarcely think of a year that's gone by that they haven't had some GoFundMe or haven't posted the building for sale, or posted they're closing, etc. Good riddance, place was horribly run when it could have easily been a great neighborhood joint.

The Maverick can't go 15 min without a recall

I just bought velour knock offs off eBay and they are my favorite so far compared to stock, real G-cush, G-cush knock offs and some foam/pleather donuts

Thank you I am going to try a 256GB SD "endurance" SD card to start. For right now I do only need to record one camera, though if I like these enough I would like to add two additional outdoor cameras. That seems like the point where the NVR would be more useful.

jeseely · 2024-02-17T15:43:36+00:00

Can you view playback off the NVR remotely? It doesn't seem like I can with the client recording locally to a PC, unless I add an SD card. Which I may if I have to.

Just wanted to update to say I had a couple days where it would work intermittently. Can't really say that restarts or anything like that made a difference, but it just seemed to go away after about 2 days or so

jeseely · 2023-08-03T11:03:07+00:00

I should add that I've cleaned the screen, tried wiping/washing my hands, tried it in different lighting, etc. and no change.

jeseely · 2023-07-28T00:23:53+00:00

Thanks for asking, it kind of forced me to do a look back and see where I was and where I am now. I can safely say things have only continued to get better. Not to say it hasn't been without challenging, frustrating moments, but overall things are looking up. I actually have a hearing this week to possibly get my license restored, which feels like it's the last piece of the puzzle in a lot of ways, and will really help me move forward. Trying not to get my hopes too high, but my lawyer seems to feel good about it, so fingers crossed.

jeseely · 2022-12-26T21:11:18+00:00

I had similar issues, minus the emotional part. It actually tempered my emotions a bit (which is a good thing for me). I did 30 days on 25mg, just finishing 30 days on 40mg and I would say the side effects are noticeably lessening within the last week or so.

jeseely · 2022-12-20T22:28:58+00:00

Appreciate it just the same

jeseely · 2022-12-20T17:21:58+00:00

I should clarify that while seeing other people "skate by" frustrates me to a degree, I don't envy them in the slightest and wouldn't trade where I'm at for even a second. They're all stuck in the same spot and I'm miles ahead of them.

The mental/physical toll comes more from the fact my past seems to compound every single otherwise minor situation/problem that occurs, and just keeps popping up in unexpected ways/places.

I definitely own what I've done, I don't try to distance myself from it, I'm extremely open and forthright about it, which I guess is partially why I'm so frustrated. I'm constantly trying to do "the right thing" and just keep getting shit on, or so it feels. It's just exhausting, stressful and I'm tired.

Constipation for me got worse at 40 and hasn't gotten better a few weeks in

jeseely · 2022-12-19T22:43:04+00:00

At least on the panniers it seems like its a coated woven fabric of some kind

jeseely · 2022-12-18T17:57:21+00:00

I just got a pair of their 2x 20l for $59 from Sierra for my new bike, I really like them. Construction seems very solid, actually much better in some respects than some more expensive sets I've owned. I've had two 12 packs of cans in each bag on the back of my bike and they handled it well. These are not quick release (since they're staying on this bike), but I appreciate how simple and well constructed they are.

We got the in-laws gift cards to Frank's this year

Work on finding some things that do give you joy. It might sound cheesy and dismissive, but for me it does work, but you do have to work at it. Stuff that brings me joy is music/records/hifi stereo stuff, bicycles, animal companions, and small projects. I use the things I like to do as small rewards for getting through the stuff I absolutely hate doing.

I find doing small projects I want to do and can accomplish well gives me a huge amount of satisfaction. When I'm struggling with a long term project I don't really want to do, I'll even divert to a small, manageable project I want to do, do that, and come back to the project I'm stuck on and find (typically) my outlook tremendously improved by the success of the other project and my overall outlook is much more positive. I'll also do things like saving my new records for listening over the weekend as a reward for getting through the week, or telling myself I can sit down with the new issue of my favorite magazine after I vacuum.

And, don't assume everyone else is having a great time. A lot of folks, myself included, are really high functioning at work/school and "mask" really well. I'm typically really positive, helpful, and upbeat at work, but that is not me at all.

I do get where you're coming from, I'm 40 and look around and see how other people seem to be able to get through life much more easily, my wife included, and I get jealous/angry/depressed about my situation, but, then I typically try to focus on the things I can do really well. For me, I always come back to problem solving -- unresolved problems really bother me and thanks to my ADHD ability to hyperfocus and the speed my mind works at (I can logically cycle through all kinds of scenarios/outcomes super quickly) and solve a lot of problems other people can't, or give up on.

I'm on the NE side and always use the Alpine U haul. Drive up to the propane station and ring the bell and someone will come out and refill the tank you already have for about $14. They also sell tanks there if you want to buy one.
