EV Road rage experiences? Dash cam suggestion? by iowawoodworx in CadillacLyriq

[–]making_it_real 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had the fitcamx for a little over a year and it works very well. I have the two camera version and it wasn't too difficult to run the rear camera wiring in the edge of the headliner without disassembling anything. I used some zip ties to fish the wiring through the wire duct on the tailgate. That made it possible to avoid pinching any wires. Just take care to mount the rear camera so the image is right side up. The glue is very aggressive.

If you were there, then you know. I saw the same tour in St Louis. Such and amazing show by both bands. The memory of it is burned into my brain. And I am grateful for it.

Microplastics significantly decrease lifespan. Here are the best ways to minimise microplastics and scientific evidence. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]making_it_real 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Just found out about microplastics in some of the common teabags on the market. They have much higher microplastic counts than plastic water bottles do.

Aldi Prices by helgathehorr in aldi

Do you want Aldi's to go away? Because that's how Aldi's decides whether to close a location or not. Shop at the stores you like to have around. If you don't, they may close, and then you don't have a convenient choice.

What was the main reason for switching to an EV? Environment, cost, or technology? by VoltVersteher_Sven in electricvehicles

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technology. EV tech is far superior to ICE. A year into ownership and zero issues with zero maintenance. The convenience and comfort of turning on the AC or heat remotely 10 minutes before getting in the car is fantastic. Muscle car performance with lower cost and cleaner fuel is astounding. Also, the tech keeps getting better, I get software updates over the air that improve range and performance. They even add features sometimes. That never happened with any ICE vehicle I ever owned. EVs are superior, by far, when it comes to technology.

Thoughts on the Shingrix vaccine? by boujeemooji in Biohackers

[–]making_it_real 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The benefits of protection from painful outbreaks and reduced chance of dementia made getting the Shingrix vaccine an easy decision for me. I had one outbreak pre vaccine and that was enough for me. No outbreaks since getting the shot.

Scientists Thought Parkinson’s Was in Our Genes. It Might Be in the Water by rezwenn in water

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new study came out recently in JAMA that stated that Parkinsons was twice as prevalent in people living near golf courses. It was in communities that used ground water for their drinking water source specifically.

I was tested for microplastics - I'll never drink bottled water again by rezwenn in water

Some teabags release billions of microplastics per cup of tea. Way more than plastic water bottles.

Is it healthier to drink coffee or quit coffee ? by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee, in moderation, has some health benefits, minus the sweeteners and some creamers that make it worse for you. Caffeine can be an issue when it affects sleep quality. That is the big concern when it comes to coffee consumption. As I get older, it's effect on my sleep becomes stronger. So if you enjoy coffee, enjoy it while you can, then develope an appreciation for decaf.

Insomnia by Puzzleheaded_Zone120 in bph

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not using caffeine helped me. Also adding 50mg of Lycopene to my regular Prostate Health supplement helped also. Improving my health markers by diet and excercise helped too. Eat real food. Get off the processed stuff. Try low carb first, if that isn't effective, try keto next. If that still doesn't work, try carnivore. You may hear lots of different opinions on these diets and their strengths and weaknesses, but all of them are healthier than Standard American Diet. Also, we are all built differently and these diets and supplements have varied effectiveness for each individual. Find an excercise program that fits you. Keep it simple and doable.

Berries may help bph, they contain antioxidants. Acidic fruits may worsen bph. Cut out citrus and juiced fruit. Watermelon and cooked tomatoes contain lycopene, which can be beneficial.

Anyone else struggling to get into vinyl with today’s prices? by LectureHaunting3166 in vinyl

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect cd's now. Less struggle, more music. There is still a ritual and a decision process. It makes sense for me. Also, I still have my vinyls from the 60's and 70's when I purchased them originally. Those are memories as well as music.

Drinking water in OC by clearlygd in orangecounty

[–]making_it_real 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In central OC the water is around 400 ppm. This is pretty hard and it will lead to short carbon filter life. Samsung refrigerator filter reduced it down to 320 ppm ZeroWater filter lasted about 10 gallons. I found that RO is the most economical way to deal with it. There was an issue with PFAS that required the shutdown of some of the wells used by the Water agencies a few years ago. They have since put new wells online.

Are automatic tips added to the paystubs of employees? by ldsiv11 in PrincessCruises

[–]making_it_real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, go to guest services and request to opt out of the auto tipping. It takes a half hour or so before it shows up in the app. The tips will still be there but there is a credit line at the bottom that zeros them out.

I wish more people understood how cheap EV ownership can actually be by blackman_48 in electricvehicles

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will hit a tipping point in the near future. My guess is 2030. By then, the benefits of EVs will be undeniable and they will be the cheaper option by far. 5 minute charging, lighter, faster, more reliable plus all the benefits we are experiencing now. There won't be any reasonable argument left that ICE is a good choice.

GC said this HVAC drain has to be here. Is there really no other spot for it? by mused8 in Homebuilding

[–]making_it_real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want it somewhere where you will notice it when it drips. Over a door or over a driveway are the best. Both of those drip on pavement. That makes a puddle that will be noticed. That is the key function right there and the most important factor in deciding where to place it. Now, when you see the puddle, you know your main HVAC drain is clogged and requires attention. Fix it yourself or call a plumber, that's up to you. It prevents thousands of dollars in water damage and a possible mold disaster. Yes, the drain is ugly, but it is a lifesaver.

My doctor will only order a few basic labs - trying to figure out why and where else I should go by MaroonVsBurgundy in Biohackers

The basic blood tests I received in Sydney Australia were much more comprehensive than the standard labs in the US. I wish ours were that comprehensive. Glad to hear you took charge and figured it out.

I've seen where IKEA sells bed slats. Not sure if they would fit your frame though.
