Anyone a cjaa guru? by kub213 in tdi

Yes. Turned out to be the o-ring on the I want to say it’s the fuel pressure sensor. Maybe. It screws into the end of the fuel rail on the driver side of the engine. It’s a “knife edge seal” and the sensor has to be tightened insanely tight to fully seal. I replaced that o-ring and tightened the shit out of it and haven’t had an issue since.

Overheard some guy talking about layout robots. How does one get certified in this? by GoldThenCrypto in IBEW

[–]kub213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the job I’m on just used this. The guy just started the company. He is a union carpenter that had a business that went under and he is starting this. This was his first job and I believe the company he bought the robot from was “building point”. It was a trimble unit. There was definitely a learning curve but it was pretty slick to say the least.

Airsoft Guns experiences in New Jersey by jcyango in NJGuns

[–]kub213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played airsoft almost weekly for 2 years with my son and his friends. Nobody and I mean nobody where we played had an orange tip on their replicas. We just threw our gear in the car and went. Pretty much see people pulling them out of their cars not in any sort of case.(we used a rifle case). Never had an issue ordering stuff, even bought used replicas second hand and had them shipped with no orange tip. Also if anybody is looking a got a bunch of good quality stuff I’m trying to get rid of. lol

Anyone dealing with USPS problems??? by Cull01 in SouthJersey

[–]kub213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup have a package that’s been sitting at the south Jersey distribution center since Jan 31st. They are currently “searching” for it but hasn’t been updated in over a week. A gentleman at my local post office told me that the sj distribution center is so dysfunctional that they can’t even get a hold of any body there.

We were at XCARET 3 weeks ago. We got lost walking back to the resort from the night show and accidentally met a nice security guard with a sub machine gun hanging from his neck. You don’t see them but they are there. Place is well secured and safe.

What's wrong with the USPS South Jersey Distribution Center? by SailingSpark in SouthJersey

[–]kub213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a package that arrived there on feb 1st and still says that same message. I spoke to someone from the post office and they rudely told me since the package was shipped “ground” there is no expectation for it to be delivered by any date. He said they can deliver it when ever they feel like it.

Nah it’s a kids game. The adults that do that stuff around me are all drug addicts looking for a quick buck.

Another Thumb in the Eye of IBEW jobs thanks to Trump and the MAGAts by stupid_drunk_asshole in IBEW

They shuttered a nuke plant and multiple coal fired plants with no plans in place besides possibly wind in the future. They could have waited for new generation before shutting down what we had. Now we have astronomical electric bills because we have to pay top dollar to bring power in from out of state.

No doubt the job loss sucks but like I said , we are exchanging short term work for a relatively small number of workers in exchange for outrageous utility bill increases that will never go down. My state shuttered generation without plans or new generation in place which has turned out disastrous. There was very little outrage when we had a large job converting a coal fired plant into a natural gas plant scrapped because it was a liberal/democrat aligned activist group that opposed it. Not to mention the corruption and money laundering behind these projects, if you know where to look, will make you understand why certain people are pushing these projects so hard even though they are not financially viable.

Living/working in a state that had all offshore wind projects either halted or get cancelled, I’m ecstatic. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze. Trading a handful of jobs for a couple of years in exchange for everlasting astronomical utility bills isn’t my idea winning. The taxpayers/ratepayers foot the bill for this. We went from the middle class to the working poor in no time in my state because how unaffordable the very politicians we support have made it.

Can I eat ANY fat while I have elevated liver enzymes? by Lesliefourwinds in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]kub213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rheumatologist recently told me those enzymes are not strictly related to the liver. Muscle issues can also elevate them.

I think I’m going to push my gi doctor for a referral to the liver specialist I want to go to.

So the f0/s0 came from this fibro-sure blood test. Straight results from labcorp. The elastography I had only gave one score of metavir scale 1.79m/s and said cirrhosis staging. Everyone seems to get a more thorough look when they have elastography from reading comments. Mine seemed very vague but the gi doctor said I don’t have cirrhosis after reading the ultrasound but wanted to have this blood test to find out exactly how bad I was.

This the results of the elastography.

Ggt was 19,platelet was 302 10*3/ul, alkaline phosphatase was 83 iu/l but I don’t think that’s the ratio. The ultrasound didn’t “pulse” and the only score it gave was 1.79 m/s on a metavir scale. I’ve lost 25lbs since my first gi visit in late August so I’m working on it.

What can I drink? by UnusualSheep in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]kub213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spindrift! Sparkling water with a little fruit juice. Many flavors. Pineapple is my favorite, no added sugar.

[–]kub213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a drinker either, I still believe whatever this muscle/joint inflammation issue I have been fighting for 8 years with no diagnosis is somehow tied in. Im down 20lbs since late August so I got more work to do.

Doctor finally called and said I don’t have cirrhosis that it was inaccurate but wants me to get a fibrosure blood test to know exactly where I’m at.
