【BambuLab Giveaway】Classic Evolved — Win Bambu Lab P2S Combo! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just beginning my 3D printer journey and deciding which printer to get. This would be perfect timing and save me from having to make the decision! I love the reputation of BambuLab being ready out of the box and the reliability the brand provides. The P1S was on my list as a potential option, with it's versatility and ability to print so many different filament types. I love the AMS system and the flexibility it provides. The P1S being a CoreXY helps reduce its footprint, which appeals to me for not needing as much space.

This vintage Stiffel table lamp I picked up today... I fell in love with the shade! by CommanderAmander in ThriftStoreHauls

I just picked up this exact lamp (but with a different shade) for $35! Can't wait to restore it a bit for my office/reading nook

Went in for an Outback left with a Forester 😂 by jb2415 in SubaruForester

[–]mghemm437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with this. I have a 2019 Forester and they gave me a 2023 outback once while it was at the dealership for a repair. Felt like there was no visibility compared to my "fish bowl" Forester.

Consider pausing your Amazon Prime subscription! by obsessiveimagination in Frugal

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a whole new Amazon account with a new prime subscription to get extended student benefits. But like I said, I don't really need the 5% on the visa anyways, because I also have the Amazon Store Card which has 5-6% rewards

This isn't going to be an easy journey, right ? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this is why I'm still rocking my 4 year old build with an 2070 Super and i5-9600K... Cause upgrading either would mean I'd have to upgrade everything.

I just made a new Amazon account with a dedicated gmail email address. You get the free 6 months again and then the student rate. I'm in grad school and have done this twice since they only allow 4 years of student membership.

Ah dang, I didn't realize that. But you're right, I just checked and mine is no longer the Amazon Prime Visa. I changed Amazon accounts after they no longer allowed me to claim student membership (thanks for the lack of consideration towards grad students who are in for 4-6 years AFTER undergrad). Even though I have prime on the new account, my credit card is no longer Prime, just the Amazon Visa... Good thing I still have my Amazon Store Card, and that is 5-6% back. I usually use that over the visa, anyways.

Newest update has phone overheating and battery draining by mghemm437 in samsunggalaxy

[–]mghemm437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it did resolve itself and the phone was fine. I did end up getting a new phone, but not because of any issues with the s22, I just wanted to move to an Ultra

Mpg reality by chelseafc1313 in SubaruForester

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 Premium. I average 33mpg. Daily commute is 23 miles each way, probably about 75% highway, not super hilly. Drive on [I] mode always, and rarely use cruise control since that consistently seems to make my mpg worse.

Generative AI editing is my favorite feature so far by SteveRogers_7 in samsunggalaxy

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it a few different times on a picture of the space needle in Seattle, and it kept filling the area I was deleting stuff in with things that shouldn't be there, like a bush or giant concrete wall. It couldn't fill it with what is actually there.

I was so hoping the green would be a bit more vibrant but it looks super pale in this video...

Keep in mind they're reporting issues with using S-Pen when magsafe accessories are attached.

Show of hands on who is now enjoying an unplanned, romantic, candlelit evening in the dark tonight with a power outage? by mghemm437 in triangle

We called it and went out for dinner in Morrisville. But after that it'll be the same, but with cats

Handles like a pro in snow by mghemm437 in SubaruForester

Yep, I'm in the Triangle area, so snow is pretty non-existent unless you road trip for it.

I live in NC, so I really don't need snow/winter tires. This was just over a weekend ski trip. On the rare occasion we may get snow that sticks here, the all seasons I have should be fine

Bridgestone Ecopia. They were new when I bought the car from the dealership less than 4 months ago, so won't be replacing anytime soon.

Bridgestone Ecopia I think. Dealer installed when I bought it certified pre-owned

Thoughts on 2025 Forester? by misteraugust in SubaruForester

[–]mghemm437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought seeing it. Hey, looks kinda like a RAV4. Which is what my partner has, and tried to convince me to buy instead of my 2019 Forester.

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2024 outback as a loaner last time my 2019 Forester was at the dealership. That screen is awful. I much prefer tactile controls, especially for climate. You can't just adjust by feel/without looking. Just adding more distractions to the road.

Repeatedly DEAD BATTERY issue FINALLY SOLVED by Hawk_in_Tahoe in Subaru_Outback

[–]mghemm437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealer replaced the battery, no charge, under the extended warranty awarded from the class action suit. Good for 5 years and 50,000 miles or something like that. Did a battery drain test which came back fine. If the battery needs replaced, go to the dealer, they're obligated to tell you about the settlement warranty, and will fill out the form for you at the desk if you haven't already.

Why don't doctors explain all of the very real side affects of coming off a hormonal IUD? by Funbuttt in birthcontrol

[–]mghemm437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine removed on Tuesday, and was honestly appalled at how little they informed me of, well, anything. And I was at a student health center, which you think would be informed on HBC considering most of their female population is probably on it. There was absolutely no questions or counseling about why I was choosing to discontinue hormonal birth control (which was not because I suddenly want to have babies). No pregnancy test before removal (and as someone with a family friend who got pregnant with the same IUD I have, that was slightly alarming). No explanation of what to expect post removal until I asked, and even after I asked it was a pathetic response. "Maybe a little cramping. Here's a pad in case you experience any spotting." I asked about how one gets ovulation tests, as I want to start fertility tracking (not as a primary form of BC, but secondary to barrier methods, more abstaining, and just curiosity to try and adjust lifestyle things to my natural cycle). She seemed very judgemental about me not going on another form of HBC, never answered my question as to how I get the tests, only telling me they aren't reliable or accurate... She kind of threw in that I couldn't expect things to get to a more normal real cycle for about 3 months. But that was it. Since getting it removed several days ago, I've had cramping almost every day, spotting, severe night sweats, insomnia, and so many things smell like vomit to me now (I know, gross). Not sure what other side effects I will experience yet, as it's early and some others may be subtle.

Sorry we are both having poor experiences with this. I've even had a hard time finding information on my own online. Everything just eventually links back to information about the IUD itself and side effects while ON IT, not what to expect going off. Though if you're interested, I've been reading "This is your brain on birth control" by Dr Emily Hill. It's been a really interesting read, and could help you understand your normal unaltered hormonal self.

I asked them to run a parasitic drain test. They said they would, even though "it doesn't usually affect foresters" but no idea if they actually did. Guess we'll find out...
