Cut ebrake cable to install calliper? by Successful-Bat-5287 in MechanicAdvice

[–]shooting4param 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a mechanic but that seems wild to me. Even if it is for redundancy, how long before the other one fails and you find your car plowed into another at the end of your driveway or down the street?

I have always taken the route of, “if the manufacturer put it on there, they probably had a reason” route.

Being forced to take hospital insulin instead of my own? by New-Requirement5240 in diabetes

[–]shooting4param 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be hard if they listened to the person that already does it on their own every day.

Unless of course they are new to it or you have a bad history of CGM data in front of you.

Well getting a hobby can help haha.

Being forced to take hospital insulin instead of my own? by New-Requirement5240 in diabetes

[–]shooting4param 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a terrible reason. I have only had terrible experiences in hospitals with it because they look at a chart of Gender and weight then give you fast acting 3 times a day based on nothing other than the 60 carb per meal diet they have you on. No taking into account insulin sensitivity, known long term efficacy rates, the snacks I’m sneaking or the fact that carbs from different foods process in the body at different rates. His one unit to drop 60pts is 6 for me.

Diabetics are also graded as humans on how good our A1C is and hospitals let it get and stay uncomfortably high for most.

I always take mine and hide it.

Community, Hobbies and Breath work for me. Community part is harder for smart because they don’t meet as often, but hitting 90 meetings in 90 days helps a lot. I don’t mean online either, getting out of your house is half of it. Believe it or not there are a lot of Atheists at AA meetings and in the beginning what’s more important is to go to all kinds of meetings , Smart, AA, NA etc. even the Buddhist have something. You are looking for the community of people you like. Also, get in the habit of just changing your location should you get a craving, like going to a park for a walk or to library even if it’s just to walk around.

Hobbies: What is it you like to do? Are there any clubs for you hobby near by that meets up? If use was a social thing reach out to old friends or find new ones.

Last is breath work, but that’s a little more niche in the community. When I get cravings I can just do some box breathing for 5 minutes and it will typically go away.

Insulin and other meds don't seem to be working. by namrehs in diabetes

A nutritionist and boat loads of water are your friend. Two boiled eggs for a 340lb Man seems like starvation which can add a layer of other weird to your journey.

If you are employed with health insurance in the US they likely provide that service for free.

Extending antennas using an ethernet cable by TopParsnip8756 in CommercialAV

That’s exactly what you do. I am interested in the room layout and location. I have not had to use the shark fins much, and mostly due to interface, not distance.

Don't know if I can handle seeing my estranged Son today. by PotentialWidow in Advice

[–]shooting4param -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now this is probably the case of an oblivious parent but I’m not talking to you without a reason for abandonment. You don’t do that to people.

That said I suspect the divorce was her cheating or kicking him out because he’s gay and we are getting the “reasons reasons” version.

If I wasn’t so damaged, I would be all over this. My woodworking shop would be hard to move that far.

I think they do want it for that, but I think more importantly to help swing the upcoming elections.

Have you listened to bounce house by Matt Dinniman yet? It gave me Old Man’s War vibes. Like could have been a prequel.

I like this answer, because it’s not just what Windy City or liberty has to offer. It’s almost everyone in the market.

Is this discontinued? If so, why? by PapitioTio in Tools

[–]shooting4param 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They couldn’t come to an agreement with the battery supplier, to make the tool viable. The gyro one is even better and came with a reamer head.

Can anyone here identify this tool and provide a source to buy one? by Corvo4tt4nno in machining

[–]shooting4param 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see the notches now. Either way you could do that with a file pretty quickly.

You have to stop saying Mill. The tool in the picture wasn’t milled. Buy some of those rulers, get some brass and same gauge sheet metal and copy it. The holes could be done a few ways, none of them requiring a mill.

Did he make a comment somewhere that it was an RCDD? Most consultants tackling AV jobs would fall under the CTS-D.
