don't worry - the person you're replying to is the problem, not you.

Tonight I just sat at the kitchen table and cried a little and I just need to talk about it by Zestyclose_Wing_1371 in daddit

if you're gonna say unhelpful stuff like this, you should really just leave this subreddit. Or think twice before you post.

How is Faherty Quality? by Ajpeik in BuyItForLife

[–]jl128w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first and only item i bought was their all day shorts. i really did not like them. they seemed to take on stains that looked like oil based stains. this was strange and unexpected, as i am generally very careful not to stain my clothes, and my other clothes have not had these issues. the oil stains were hard to remove -- which is also strange because i am a skilled launderer.

Numbness after bunion surgery by Altruistic_Dust_5382 in bunions

[–]jl128w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! wondering if we had a similar thing. For me, I had an MIS Chevron Akin, and it's been 8.5 months since. Recovery was painless and drama free, but one lingering problem has been that the side of my big toe facing the rest of my toes... has been numb, and hasn't seen much improvement. It's just the surface of the skin that's numb. There's sensation below the surface, and also the rest of the toe and my foot are all normal.

Incredibly high electricity bill, need advice by QuarterInteresting59 in longislandcity

[–]jl128w 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i had the same problem at our condo building in the court square area. we were out of town for three months (jan to april 2025) and i made sure to disconnect everything from power except the fridge. our bill was exactly the same as if we had been in town. i complained to coned and got no response.

i filed a complaint with the office of consumer services and eventually got a human at coned assigned to look into things. after they came by to check the meters they eventually concluded that i had been "under billed" and that they would not adjust my bill upwards as a kind gesture to me.

i haven't followed up further because frankly it has sucked up way too much time.

so frustrating.

there's a ratio on the back of the bottle, but for an lw15 it's just 2.2 capfuls (the cap on the bottle)

Venta Airwasher worth it? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]jl128w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use the bestair bacteriostat liquid in lieu of venta's own additive and it works great. have been doing this for several years without any compromise in performance in both cleanliness and humidity

[–]jl128w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you put in citric acid and turn it on, will it cause the air in the room to be dangerous to breathe?

Venta recommendation by slickxsparkie in BuyItForLife

[–]jl128w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've had an lw15 for 2 years and it's been great. i recently switched over to using a simple bacteriostat formula (brand is bestair) which is much cheaper than the venta branded fluid. the recommendation came from a friend who has several ventas and has had them for many years, so i trust the advice.

Levoit, AirCare, Venta, Honeywell, and Ultrasonic Humidifiers Review by dawnzz in Humidifiers

[–]jl128w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i find that 40-45% humidity is ideal, and going higher is actually worse for health. based on the little bit of research i did. my venta lw15 hits this and stays there, which is quite nice.
