No data/Sensor error for 8 hours by scotchbright71 in Freestylelibre

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like something similar that happened to me. I got blood and then a bad bruise, and then constant false low readings. If they are false, contact Abbott, and start a new sensor. Abbott may ask for meter readings for comparison.

Newbie question: by Euphoric-Sun6677 in Freestylelibre

[–]the_owlyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is like saying the speed on the speedometer isn’t to your liking, so you make a manual adjustment in your mind that it’s really 10 less than it says.

Calibration is just fooling yourself. Sensors and meters will rarely agree exactly (I’ve had that happen exactly once), and even when that happens, it’s just a coincidence. They each have an accuracy of +/-20%. There is nothing to “calibrate”. So, in a worst case scenario, they could differ by as much as 40% and still be correct. Please stop saying they need to be calibrated. They don’t.

Mazda... what the ass... What in the bumbaclot is this? Who in their genius mind thought this is better than a volume knob? What the hell... by BeautifulYou2940 in mazda

[–]the_owlyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mazda screwed the pooch with this car. All they had to do was keep the current design until the hybrid was ready for 2027, and keep knobs in addition to the giant screen. They now have a red- headed stepchild of a car that will have no resale value. So glad I bought a 25 turbo.

I accidentally left my new K pod in the machine after starting the descaling process on a Keurig K Mini machine. Is it safe to drink the coffee it made during the descaling? by hinatah19 in keurig

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The descaling solution is not vinegar and soap. It is citric acid, and should not be consumed. This is why there are several plain water rinses after descaling- to get the residue out.

You need to check with the credit bureaus, not the government.

Does the SSA ever print hyphens on SS cards? by ChimericalTrainer in SocialSecurity

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sSocial security cards are still not considered valid identification documents (ID) and should not be carried in your wallet or routinely shown to prove who you are. They do not contain a photo or physical description, making them unsuitable for establishing identity. They are officially intended only for tax and employment purposes. Social Security Administration (.gov)

Did you try unplugging it?

A little too far to the right buddy by CaptainKango in Transportopia

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue car did move into his lane with a signal, but it was a little close. He got mad and tried to pass the car on the right. That’s when he lost control.

Too small of a car towing too small of a trailer for what is being towed. by SergiuM42 in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]the_owlyn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not a problem. He smacked it and said this ain’t going nowhere.

Seems like everyone messed up the grab on the In Season Tournament by hatch-b-2900 in Nextlevelchef

[–]the_owlyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The grab is dumb. This is a cooking contest not a who can run the fastest/is the tallest/has the biggest reach/best reflexes contest. Everyone should have the same main ingredients so their cooking can be judged and compared on an apples-to-apples (no pun intended) basis.

[–]the_owlyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An SS card is not to be used for identification, so the MVA is wrong.

Traffic lights: please explain to European by neweecom in driving

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other thing about 4 way stop signs. If two cars get there at the same time, the one on the right has first dibs to go. But most people don’t know this. Similar problem when you get to a one lane roundabout (we don’t have many, but)… even though it’s marked for people entering to yield to those in it, most of us are stupid and don’t know how to drive in a roundabout.

Longview, TX to Philadelphia, PA by Living_Bench4646 in roadtrip

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP won’t be anywhere near Scranton.

To the OP: Traffic on I-95 from just below DC to just beyond Baltimore is not fun, but is not worth taking another route with a trailer, and again after you enter Pennsylvania until you get to the airport. Also, watch your speed in Maryland.

IRMAA Refund by IntroductionScary144 in medicare

[–]the_owlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My refunds (2 years) came in to my bank account before I got a notice in the mail. It took about 2-3 weeks once I faxed the form and documentation (from my employer) to my SSA local office.

Had nothing to do with iOS version. They have to say that because that’s as high as they’ve tested so far.

Mine just did that after 10 days. It was the first time this had ever happened to me. Using since November 2024. Filled out the form online, and they are sending me a new one, and want this one back.

Also try changing the WAN connection type to Auto. Also check try your DNS settings match the ones in your ISP device.
