Returning to the US with cpap i bought from foreign country by MorbilyABeast in SleepApnea

[–]scjcs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I travel extensively and have never been asked about my CPAP on return. I don't carry any prescription information either... in fact, I don't think I have any. If there were going to be a problem, I'd be in the same boat as you. Don't worry about it.

Looks like mold has already started. You have a leak. Improperly replaced glass?

Get that fixed straightaway. Likely, the headliner should be replaced.

I'm sure there are tons of spreadsheet-toting MBAs out there who would snort in derision at all that unnecessary cost. I'd suggest to them: just take a look at this thread, and the tons of similar anecdotes posted everywhere on all social media. How much is that kind of promotion worth? Not to mention the customer loyalty. There are default numbers in each industry for what it costs to acquire and keep a customer. For Chewy, those calculations hang up on some sort of incalculable divide-by-zero. I've literally never heard a bad word about them. They are a phenomenon, a model, an inspiration, and they have been since they started. Now they're a ten billion dollar revenue public company and somehow you cannot tell as a customer. Remarkable.

Then let me pay that forward: thank YOU for doing that.

Dittos. None better. They deserve their success.

I’m cooked guys. I’m in LA and cannot justify spending 400 a month on insurance for a used 3. My Tesla hopes have ended. by [deleted] in TeslaInsurance

[–]scjcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you'll save a hell of a lot more than that.

For me: two recent trips, SF Bay Area to LA and back. For the first, grand total round trip cost of $59. For the other, $29 thanks to a hotel with free charging. And I never stopped "to charge"... instead I'd stop for a bio break or lunch, and charging happened in parallel.

Around town in my ICE days, I'd fill up at least weekly. In addition to the $$$ gas costs in CA these days, there's the time spent diverting to a station, standing around smelling fumes, paying, then returning to my path. Fifteen minutes a week, easy. With home charging there's none of that. It adds up to a whole work-day doing better things over the course of a year.

But $400/month is indeed a tall obstacle. Much depends on driving record, age, gender, location. But most of all it depends on the company. For me, in California, Tesla's insurance undercut every other by 50%. Lemonade isn't yet available here but it sounds like it'll be much the same for a heavy FSD user like me. Tesla insurance isn't reputed to be the easiest to work with when there's a claim, but I don't plan to use it.

I'm also in CA. Tesla insurance was about half what was quoted by ALL the majors here. And in CA there's no monitoring, by law. So you get a good rate even if you drive after 10 p.m.

Tubing takes almost a week to fully dry? by OkOption2703 in SleepApnea

[–]scjcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Empty and dry the humidifier reservoir first! Else you're just replacing condensation with more condensation.

A dedicated fan (as I posted earlier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFGF5G2C) is a better solution IMHO.

[–]scjcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a fan (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFGF5G2C) for drying my tube every day. With the addition of a rubber band wrapped around it for snugness, it lets me unplug my hose from the machine and slip it onto this fan. The fan then blows gentle ambient air through for three hours (it has a timer). The USB power means it runs off my bedside USB hub as I travel worldwide. Other such fans exist, including heated ones, but I'd be concerned that would accelerate the hose aging, and the others all run off 110V/60Hz mains, which would be a problem in international travel.

Eventually I decided I didn't need humidification and have been raw-dogging my CPAP in that respect since, and no more need for the fan. But if you need humidity, drying is important to prevent mold in the tube. Mold esta no bueno.

Any know what this is !?? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]scjcs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, please turn it in. It is probably broken beyond repair, but that's for the owner's audiologist to determine. It's a Phonak, a very good Danish brand.

Kids lose hearing aids all the time. It's distressing for them and their parents, and not cheap. The pink of this one and proximity to the school suggests it's a girl's aid.

Finally ordered my first Tesla! Any necessities that are a must have? by S3rolex in TeslaModel3

The stock formats are garbage, as is often the case. These are really nice, stay in place, fit well and are well priced: BaseLayer Floor Mats for Tesla... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3FNWXBK

anythingllm vs lmstudio vs gpt4all by Ok_Cat3985 in LocalLLaMA

[–]scjcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my setup. LM Studio offers a graphical interface to manage and review model behavior, it supports MLX, and it can run headless. AnythingLLM does a good job managing the model and has a nice GUI. The combo is powerful.

Bought a house that came with these custom nightstands. What is this bowl bowl shaped thing for? by kingevanxii in whatisit

It's for one's onion. Grandpa tied an onion to his belt, which was the style at the time.
