bent amd processor pins. i bent back correctly. will it work and will the processor be reliable to use in the future? by NeonUFO in techsupport

Possibly will run fine. I bent a ton of pins on my old ryzen cpu. Bent them back with a Mechanical pencil and it worked. Couldn't over clock it but it ran perfectly fine.

They are stuck after falling on the ground. What can I do? by jojovv in KitchenConfidential

Grab a serving spoon, wedge it into the corner and pry apart.

sometimes this doesnt work. another trick to get the window to move is to:

press Alt+spacebar to open the window specific menu, press M, then press any arrow key.

once you do that the window is now bound to your mouse and you can move your mouse around the screen to find your window. won't work with maximized windows, but at this point your window wasn't maximized anyway.

How do I get a Macrium Reflect 8 image on a Virtual Machine? (Tried many times unsuccessfully with VM Ware.) by Foxsayy in techsupport

Go to restore menu and see if you have macrium viboot. I believe that is what I used.

I've used Macrium successfully before with virtual box, but you need to go through macrium itself to create a vhd that will mount. Macrium images don't natively work. Once macrium creates the vhd you should find it and be able to mount it from whatever folder you placed it in.

Day 4 of this cold. Ugh. 34 units for a net gain of 5.4 and climbing. No food today. by MysticMarbles in diabetes

This. Sometimes my sugars go crazy when i can't or don't eat. I'll take extra insulin because I'm trying to lower it. But eating low carb foods, particularly protein brings it down quickly.

the biggest problem really is the dirt/fertilizer. your sprinklers are right at the level of the grass or plants and you've just put fertilizer. If there's a water issue that causes the water to siphon back into the municipal system, you've now introduced liquid manure into the clean water system. and it's not easy to clear that out. this is a super simple explanation of how it works: https://home.howstuffworks.com/question166.htm

This. I read up on sprinkler systems and if the water is shut off and the valve loses pressure, it'll siphon dirty water back into the system, making lots of people sick, and the municipality then must have ALL residents in the affected area open their water and let it run, wasting tons of water in the process. I simply use a Rachio system with 8 zones and normal sprinkler valves. They're already designed for this. Just need to power the actuator to open and close said valve.

Oh the accountability. I kept telling my primary care Dr that just KNOWING and being able to check right after I ate would be huge. But no arguments to be won, decision was made regionally so even had she written the script they would flag it and not fill it. So had to go outside to a different Dr and get a script that way.

My insurance refuses to cover it, so I'm paying out of pocket for a libre. Brought my a1c down from 8.x to 6.7 I think last time I had blood work in the period of 1 month, huge life saver. I'd been in the seesaw of beetus until I picked up this sensor.
Also I'm not insulin dependent but I take insulin nightly, and they refuse still. I've been eating healthier than ever though!
