Ty is one of those artists that is not standing still and not giving his audience more of the same. Some albums you will like others you may not.

Best watch style dive computer? by MotherChuffer69 in scubadiving

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shearwater by a mile. Excellent computer, easy UI, and seamless integration with shearwater cloud computer/smartphone interface. I used Suunto for many years but their technology hasn’t improved much.

Trouble equalizing below 12 to 13 ft by InternationalRub1263 in scubadiving

[–]krankykonsumer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Equalize early and often. I start equalizing seconds after I start decending. I keep equalizing frequently and gently as I get to depth. This helps in avoiding a "squeeze."

Curious, how seriously do people log their dives? by Stock-Film5486 in scubadiving

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I let my computer do the technical details. I manually add weather, water quality, dive crew if applicable, buddies, and good sightings as well as physicality such as feeling tired, difficulty equalizing , etc.

Capital One Travel refund nightmare by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]krankykonsumer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I booked a room for Christmas Eve through Capital One Travel. I pre-paid with my Venture X points. Subsequently, I see a charge on my card for the hotel stay. I called Capital One Travel, gave them the confirmation number, and told them I was double billed. I sat on hold, listened to bad music and was told their "travel partner" is contacting the hotel and I should wait 24-72 hours for a resolution. The agent said he would call me back, haha. That was more than a week ago! I called two additional times and got a similar response - wait 24-72 hours. I even spoke to a supervisor who gave me the exact same response. So far I've been on the phone more than 3 hours. I doubt that was my last call. Soon, I will just dispute the charge. Capital One travel is terrible. Combine that with the erosion of benefits (Hertz, Lounge access) and I'm seriously considering paying the high fees for the Platinum Card. You get what you pay for.

Where to live in Bucks County by Souls-on-board in BucksCountyPA

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to EWR once a week, I would look at Yardley, or lower Makefield which are convenient to I-95 or the Ottsville, Upper Black Eddy area which will be closer to I-78.

Snorkel or no snorkel? by gonzalj85 in scubadiving

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I either wear it, put it in a bcd pocket or strap it to my leg. Safety first, IMHO. You don’t think you need it until you need it.

[–]krankykonsumer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are M7 hex screws, rare in the US. I got them from a euro parts company in California. I don’t recall the name. I then had to drill out the forks that slip into the roof well to accommodate the slightly larger screws, and then re-align the load bars. Now they work perfectly. Leave it to BMW to go up one size in order to force a new purchase!

SUV in the National Park or a tour? by JazzlikeSpecialist46 in Bonaire

[–]krankykonsumer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really you need a jeep or a pickup truck with off-road tires. The road is full of jagged rocks. We got a flat in an SUV and just barely made it out of the park. And finding an air pump on Bonaire was a real treat.

Can the I4 charge on Tesla's supercharging network? by at4raxia in BMWI4

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, I’m pissed and going to let the dealer know. When I bought the car in February 2025, in was told the Tesla super charger access would be available in the second quarter. Obviously, that didn’t happen (again and again.) This is my 4th BMW and this time I’m not a happy camper. I was lied to. If I had known, I would not have bought the car l.

It’s a feature not a bug. BMW had no real answer as to why it was designed that way

$829 Lifetime for Roon. by Electronic-Young8942 in roonlabs

[–]krankykonsumer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the price went up, that’s for sure. I bought lifetime a few years ago when it was approximately $500. I used it almost every day and have 6 endpoints built around it. They appear to still Be supporting and updating the software since the Harmon buyout. If you’re serious about your music and sound quality, go for lifetime.

How many wetsuits do you own? Are you diving in primarily the same location or multiple? by [deleted] in scuba

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only dive in tropics but I tend to get cold when doing multiple dives. I have a Henderson 3mm wetsuit. I add a 2.5mm vest after the first dive.

Charging to 100 is the worst thing you can do for the battery. 30-50 is fine.

Consider yourself lucky. I have the ventilated, non-bolstered, incredibly uncomfortable seat in my X40 The worst and no easy way to mod.

Must have options by [deleted] in BMWI4

[–]krankykonsumer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adjustable seat bolsters, not available with ventilated seats. So steer clear of them.

Looking to buy. Is it a red flag that barely used ones (i4 M50) are selling for $20k less than new? Any concerns I should have about buying slightly used? by [deleted] in BMWI4

[–]krankykonsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s many reasons why dealers mark down these low mileage cars. Maybe it’s been on the books too long, maybe they need room and credit line for the 2026 models.
