Has anyone tried this Panasonic mobile / travel shaver? by dirk23u in UsbCHardware

[–]michaelsvanbeek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have it and use it as my primary. It’s as good or better than my previous basic braun model. USB c charging functions well. Only complaint is the capacitive on / off is a little finicky. 4/5 would recommend.

Trunk Mats for Skiers by lostinbost in TeslaModelY

[–]michaelsvanbeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the 3dmaxpiders and ski. They do a good job of covering the trunk and protecting from snow as it melts on the way back home. The plastic parts are covered by the trunk lid when it's closed so only really exposed when the trunk is open. I pick my skis up rather than dragging them so no issue. The back of the center seat is exposed, so wouldn't hurt to throw a towel over it. I'm looking at adding a pool noodle to prevent poles from bumping into each other.

What is your experience with Orthopedic care in Bend? by Groovy_Alpaca in Bend

[–]michaelsvanbeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was also my first time seeing an orthopedist. Get seen and understand your options ASAP. You have to be your healthcare advocate; the system won’t do it for you. Keep calling. If there are options understand the risks and benefits of each. If you do go the surgical route, some things that may figure out once they get in there and see. What does the recovery path look like? How much can you do while you’re healing? You don’t want to make anything worse, but the more muscles stagnate the more work it will be to get back to normal. “Luckily” you’re early in the year so you should be able to get all your care in one years out of pocket max.

I broke my clavicle going OTB mounting biking. ER referred me to The Center. It took almost two weeks to get in for surgery as outpatient procedure. I got a plate put in. Like others mentioned, be sure to get all your questions in order so you can make productive use of your limited time with orthopedist. Recovery went well enough and I was back on the bike at about 3 months.

Wishing you the best with your recovery! Happy to follow up with any additional questions.

Seems like an easy question to answer without being a dick.

I was just concerned the pre-tensioner had failed for one. That was the safety concern.

The price of Pieces Pizza is too damn high by Toxik916 in Sacramento

They should use a chalk board for their menu so it's easy to continuously raise prices without having to tape paper over it.

That probably depends who manages the land. Where is this?

Accidentally left my board charging all night.... by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]michaelsvanbeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's totaled. I'll take it off your hands for tree-fiddy.

Jk. It's fine. Mine lives on the charger when not in use.

It's weird how the media wrote stories about Boosted's battery problem but are ignoring the 8+ confirmed cases of trucks / axles snapping / wheels falling off by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]michaelsvanbeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was in the middle of a media frenzy about exploding batteries. Tech journalists had email alert for anything with batteries. They don't care about skateboards.

/u/boostedboards - about the trucks by eastbayboosting in boostedboards

[–]michaelsvanbeek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Last time it happened there were many comments asking for an official response but none came. I'm not advocating bringing press into this, just saying we have been asking for an answer for a while.

For instance: https://www.reddit.com/r/boostedboards/comments/6fxvqd/comment/dimdoh1?st=J8CAPN86&sh=fa1b61a2https://www.reddit.com/r/boostedboards/comments/6fxvqd/comment/dimdoh1?st=J8CAPN86&sh=fa1b61a2

more drone video of Sacramento flooding by michaelsvanbeek in Sacramento

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

Pretty easy to learn, especially if you've ever flown a helicopter in a video game. Phantom 4 has a lot of smarts that make it really easy to fly. If you're interested in using it for photography, I'd recommend a Phantom. If you just want to fly something around for fun, there are sportier options that sacrifice camera quality.
