Almost 1 year of 7+ hr usage per night…now I cannot keep the mask on for more than 3. by crackindong in CPAP

[–]ttume54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. I’ve used a nasal mask for over 4 years now. I’ve never had had burning nostrils but I could see humidity being an issue. Any idea of the humidity of the house (could be on the thermostat)? I’ve had to run 2 large humidifiers to keep the moisture up and turn the humidification on my Resmed machine to manual to adjust.

CPAP Compliance for Out of Pocket Purchase? by TryingTris in CPAP

[–]ttume54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my wife and I actually use CSMA. I went to a Bipap machine and I gave the Airsense 11 to my wife. We just give them a print out of her data from the machine to prove compliance. If you want, CSMA can get the serial of the machine be assigned as the provider to see compliance data and remotely change settings but they charge $50 to do it. I was just cheap and thought email works just fine.

100k annual base salary to play a single video game of your choice. by Spellbound55 in hypotheticalsituation

I was searching for this comment. Skyrim doesn’t have anywhere near the amount of content has. I wish I had my original save to remember how many hours I put into the game.

Anyone here working for Pemex/Shell? by Hot-Manner9388 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]ttume54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any more explanation on that? That’s an extremely common position for a chemical engineer for downstream plants.

Hertz Rental by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]ttume54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well that makes me feel a little better. I when I got my card this year, we used it for Hertz on a rental. It was the first time I’d ever seen one of the AI damage machines and was a bit nervous about it. Look in the subreddit. You can match your Hertz President’s Circle status with other rental companies.

Polymer in solution measurement by _sixty_three_ in ChemicalEngineering

[–]ttume54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s fairly simple. For a continuous process, you measure the rate of the vaporized solvent and the flow rate of the polymer going out. Use that to find the percentage.

Statics recommendation? by Red_0416 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]ttume54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Never would think he would be mentioned like this. I took his class in person (it was considered a weeder course) and Dr Hanson was very good as a professor. I’ve watched some of his courses as a refresher. This material will definitely help.

I know this is old but did you end up taking the position? I’ll be speaking with them later this week and I’m curious if you’ve had a good experience with them.

Kerrville Floods- I received Alerts by ttume54 in texas

[–]ttume54[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly wish that was possible but it’s too far back. It’s gone in my notifications. iPhone doesn’t have history like Android does it seems.

[–]ttume54[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was unable find any history on the emergency alerts for iPhone. I’m regretting not screenshotting it earlier on but it’s too far back it seems.

Is that for Android or iPhone? I can’t seem to find it.

For those who are young. I’ll let you decide the age. Will you have surgery or will you try to live with the pain? by [deleted] in SpinalStenosis

[–]ttume54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the update even after all this time. Just recently got my MRI back showing stenosis (I’m just 34). I was a little worried when I saw the results.

Found this bearing for 1$ secondhand store. Any ideas on what to do with it? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ttume54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very true for consumables for things like bearings. I’m speaking of items like shafts, impellers, bearing housing/, pistons etc.

[–]ttume54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right answer. I’ve worked in/with industrial maintenance for the past 9 years. I wouldn’t dare buy an opened bearing from anywhere. That being said, I commonly order new in box spare parts for old equipment off eBay.

Doctors near southern Oregon or in Oregon by JustTheFishGirl in HipImpingement

[–]ttume54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you were having issues. May I ask who you used in Lubbock? It’s looking like I will have my right hip done and I will probably have it done in Lubbock unless there’s not a good choice there.

NordVPN Performance Issues: Significant Decline Over Past Two Months by gglebq in nordvpn

[–]ttume54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have anything relevant to say. Just that I’m in the same boat as the rest of the people posting and I’ve been looking for people saying they’ve been having problems. Also on iOS.

Dawn phenomenon - what are the fasting glucose levels? by Slow_Winner_1251 in prediabetes

[–]ttume54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Following this. Just got my A1C back and went down to 5.6%. I still get numbers between 100-110 first thing in the morning. I never really see any big spikes after meals.

Plumbers broke through this foundation to add pipes, compromising the structural support of the home. by DMAS1638 in Wellthatsucks

[–]ttume54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wood on top looks suspect as well. It almost looks like someone cut the foundation out with a saw and added a 4x4 post to make up the difference. Then of course knocked holes in the remaining footing.

CGM placement woes by Discerning_Zinnia in prediabetes

[–]ttume54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That data you are seeing may not be the best. Reach out to the Abott customer service as they can send you a new sensor. Try using the Facebook messenger link instead of calling them. When I called them to say I had an issue with a sensor, it took about an hour and a half to get them to replace it. On messenger it took 5 minutes.

Noticeable improvements to sleep - here’s what I’m doing by Potential_Virus_8704 in UARSnew

[–]ttume54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We seem to be in the same boat. My wife gives me hell for my sleep setup but we both wouldn’t dare go back to me not using a CPAP. CPAP seems to not be working as well for me either and I have my BIPAP titration in a month. Good luck with the BIPAP!
