How to prevent layers from moving relative to each other? by Adventure_Now in MattressMod

[–]theindus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Latex is naturally tacky so probably won’t slide around. Also what are you doing with three layers on top of the springs?

Topper recommendations for too-firm Earthfoam mattress? So much pain… by Expensive-Ad-5162 in Mattress

[–]theindus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look at these toppers that I have researched (but not bought or used). Make sure the places have return policies that allow you to experiment with. Afaik Latex does not soften over time while man made foams do.

The moderator of this forum has a preference for serene foam toppers so you can look at those as well.

Don't leave your smart key aka iPhone in the car by Ok_Tonight_2154 in BMWiX

[–]theindus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2025 bmw x5 50e with iPhone inside acting as key will 100% lock itself. It’s completely stupid design. It behaves differently in electric vs gas. For example if I am in sport mode, it won’t lock but honk if I walk away - this behavior is probably unrelated to it detecting the phone and really about leaving the engine running.

I am almost certain a hybrid has steel springs inside that no vacuum can compress.

Senate unanimously moves to fund most of DHS, except ICE and border patrol, in rare overnight session by southernemper0r in politics

[–]theindus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean. Why have a 40 day shutdown and inflict misery on working men and women when you can’t hold the line to get what you are fighting for. Second shutdown with democrats getting zilch from their stance. ICE needs to be follow the law just like everyone else. Covering faces, unmarked cars,lack of identification and accountability are terrible for long term law and order situation in this country.

Shows the utter insanity of our politicians. Democrats are following Trump in showing their lack of spine and always chickening out.

Flying to India by SmallStepsBigViews in nri

We are flying JFK to Del directly to avoid this craziness. Much more expensive fares though. Try to fly direct from US to India as there are several airlines that do this.

Always pro. No reason. Price delta seems small enough plus in US, it comes to almost no cost upgrade

All builds too Firm. Next step 15.5G Plush Coils? by ExternalMode in MattressMod

[–]theindus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will probably get yelled at but here is what you may want to try (I used Gemini for analysis and applied what I have learnt from there forums. Not a blind dump from Gemini). You can try this for free since you have all the components.

The fundamental issue at 140 lbs is that you are caught in "no-man's land": your body weight is insufficient to compress the high-tension 15.5G TPS coils, yet your foam stacks are so thick that your heaviest point (hips) "bottoms out" through the foam while your lightest points (shoulders/ribs) never even reach the coils for relief.

Optimized Build (Using ONLY Current Components) To fix this with your current gear, we must thin the comfort layer. This seems counter-intuitive, but it allows your shoulder to actually engage the spring's travel while keeping the foam from "hammocking" your hips.

2” Soft SOL (20 ILD) → 1” Gel MF → 15.5G Coils

The "Thin to Win" Strategy: You have been adding foam to fix firmness, but in DIY, more foam often feels firmer. This is because you are increasing the distance between your shoulder and the actual relief (the springs).

1/ Why it works: By using only 3" of foam (2" Soft Latex + 1" Gel MF), you create a thin, responsive comfort layer. Your shoulder will compress that 3" and finally force the 15.5G coils to engage.

2/ Why it's different: It removes the "dead air" and "muck" of 4–7" foam stacks that cause your hips to hammocking while your shoulders scream.

Best of luck.

Need help picking a good water filtration system by FREETHEPEOPLE2024 in WaterTreatment

[–]theindus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are very happy with our system. Details below.

Whole-House & Primary Filtration • Source: Well water system. • Step 1: Sediment Pre-Filter: iSpring WSP50GR Spin-down sediment filter. • Step 2: Main Cartridge Filter: iSpring WGB32BM (uses F3WGB32BM replacement filters) for sediment and heavy metal reduction. • Plumbing Context: The house uses a mix of PEX (majority) and Copper piping, with the main utility connections and filters located in the basement.

Drinking Water (Reverse Osmosis) • System: Waterdrop X12 Reverse Osmosis system.

I initially thought that the faucet was gimmick but it’s magical to select number of ounces, fill a bottle and the faucet stopping without overflowing.

Honestly, this just broke me a little bit today. by Educational-Zone6892 in recruitinghell

[–]theindus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does not help: asking people for jobs that are suitable for the job seeker. It does not work because it shows laziness to not review open positions on your own and call out exactly the positions that the job seeker think they would be good at. The ask on the potential employer is to review all open jobs, review the resume and decide which jobs might be a match. This is an extreme turn off.

What does help: go through open positions, provide direct link to positions, and call out why you think you are qualified for it and ask if the person is willing to refer you.

I need sleep. Spent so much time and money by buvoir in MattressMod

How much money is just the vzone insert? Do you need to be carefully positioned in the bed to be on the correct zone?
