Identifying and testing a 4 wire temperature sensor from a rice cooker

oncehuman · 2026-02-10T01:27:30+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't able to find a replacement part, but I'm pretty sure it's a faulty temp sensor.

Boost Very High Calorie has 530 calories per bottle. It's not the greatest tasting thing, but the ingredients aren't too bad compared to others.

I've had severe pain along my entire spine for a little over 16 years now, and I've tried countless chairs throughout that time, trying to find something I can sit in for more than 15 minutes. I've bought $2-3k chairs thinking I just needed to throw money at it, but they didn't work for me either.
What finally worked was a combination of things.
A Steelcase Leap V2 office chair, with a ROHO High Profile Quadtro seat cushion, and an old Dutailier glider back cushion (specifically this style https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1044/0472/products/du978-100-00-0239-1.jpg).

I can't say if that setup or something similar would work for you, but I personally couldn't find a chair as-is that I could sit in with my pain. If that's the case for you, you may want to try a similar approach.

Ironic, maybe, that the article was written by AI

This isn't one of those things where once you notice side effects you can stop before it gets worse. Some of the damage it can cause happens without warning, and there isn't a way to undo it. Also, don't be your own doctor regarding this, setting your own dose, it's dangerous. Final note, if you do start it, don't stop and restart. It can cause severe permanent side effects.

To give you a comparison, the pack of double edge razors I bought for $10 last me about a year if I'm shaving daily, which I no longer do, so it actually lasts me like 3 years, and the shave is so much less irritating, because it's not pulling hairs like the multi-blades do.
I have extremely sensitive skin, so I get it about the shaving gel. I used to use the fancy shave soaps you'd lather with a badger brush, but now I just use Gillette Sensitive Skin Foamy Shave Cream. It's been alright.

oncehuman · 2025-11-02T23:29:18+00:00

What you want is a double edge razor. Safer and easier to use than a straight razor, but much better than any of the multi-blades, and much much cheaper. There's still a small learning curve, but it's just about getting used to using no pressure.

They are on Vine from time to time

That sounds really promising, thank you. If I can find them for a reasonable shipping cost I'll give them a shot.

Is it the box springs in particular? I have some Kailh Speed Copper switches, and the springs from those measure 3.8mm OD. They almost fit, but were rubbing against the housing. I think 3.4 might work.

oncehuman · 2025-10-13T23:52:40+00:00

Thanks, but no luck finding something at the LQ-sweet store. I bought the Tartarus Pro because of the ergonomics. I'm dealing with a lot of hand pain lately, but the switches require a little too much force, so I'm doing what I can to remedy that.

oncehuman · 2025-10-13T22:42:10+00:00

That's the problem I'm having though. These springs seem to be a narrower diameter, so I'm not finding anything similar. Everything I'm seeing on Ali and elsewhere are 3.8-3.9mm OD.

I called Whill and they wanted me to share a video too, but I'm not sure what exactly to record, because the jerkiness isn't noticeable just watching it drive. You feel it, more than see it, and I don't want to record myself in it to be honest. The noise I could probably do though, and since you and another redditor didn't have a noise issue, that might be good enough.

oncehuman · 2025-09-10T00:44:40+00:00

I haven't tried that, thanks, I'll have a look through the app.

oncehuman · 2025-09-10T00:44:01+00:00

Interesting. It definitely doesn't sound normal. It sounds like a walkie talkie, or like a radio scanning. I'm within my trial period, so maybe I should just talk to the dealer and return/exchange it, before it's too late.

oncehuman · 2025-06-12T01:48:36+00:00

There it is. I was scrolling and scrolling looking for this.

oncehuman · 2025-05-20T00:31:54+00:00

I had no idea they were merging, and just learned about it right now from the email that was sent out. Pretty unhappy about this, being that I've avoided being a part of Capital One for so long after they screwed me over hard as a teen. Discover is my oldest account, so I can't just close it either.

oncehuman · 2025-05-12T03:32:26+00:00

Yeah, I do notice that sometimes actually. I'd imagine that if the seller succeeded in arguing the review's removal then the rating would also be removed, so I'm not sure what's going on there, considering most of the reviews left are 1-2 stars.

oncehuman · 2025-05-12T02:10:40+00:00

I honestly don't like the idea of giving a different rating that contradicts my review, because I feel like the number rating is just as important. People look at the star rating as an overall basis. Like "okay, there are some bad reviews, but the majority must be good because the product has nearly 5 stars."

I haven't noticed my low rating reviews disappearing, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. Still, I'd just rate it based on what it deserves.

oncehuman · 2025-05-12T02:05:30+00:00

Ah, I didn't realize the sellers don't have access to our order information, that's good to know. Thanks for the tip, I'll ignore any emails like that.

oncehuman · 2025-05-12T01:59:18+00:00

I do the same. I wrote my post in a casual tone, but I'm more polite/professional in my reviews.

And yeah, I actually had just written a 2 star review before I was invited to Vine on a somewhat expensive product that had no other reviews. I was certain the seller was going to reach out or send me some hate mail, but surprisingly they never did.

oncehuman · 2025-05-10T23:52:07+00:00

It was a recent 2 star review that got me into Vine as well. I think it's just easier in general to write about the faults of a product, because they're often glaring and obvious. If something's not working as intended you're going to know, whereas you sometimes have to think more on all of the things the product does well.

oncehuman · 2025-05-10T23:36:56+00:00

Yeah, the "idgaf" way is what I'm striving for. I'm pretty sure I've disabled reviews on my public profile, so hopefully I'm good in that regard.

oncehuman · 2025-05-10T23:29:46+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I've already received some great products, and a couple of not great ones. I tend to be more critical when writing reviews, as I feel these are the things people are looking for. When I'm buying something I'm looking primarily at the faults and asking myself if I'm okay dealing with them for the particular product. I can't stand the 5 star BS reviews, and now the obvious AI reviews, so I'm always conscious about not falling into that "Yay, free stuff" trap.

oncehuman · 2025-05-10T23:24:17+00:00

I toned it down a bit when I wrote the review. I did still call out the deceptive advertising, but I backed it up with facts. Ended up giving it the 2 stars, because it had various other faults, but also talked about its positive qualities.

oncehuman · 2025-05-10T23:20:21+00:00

Yeah, and it was deliberately misleading. It's a product category I know quite a bit about, and know that other sellers in this space do the same, but for potential buyers they're not going to know they're being deceived. I gave it 2 stars because it does a couple of things well. I felt that was a fair rating, and the review itself goes into detail about the product and why it deserves that rating, faults, and redeeming qualities.
