    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    First of all, holy shit, it's been 25 years since that release? That's rustling how old it makes me feel. Second of all, the fact they went through any effort to rerelease that turd is extra rustling. If she's never seen it, you should get her as hyped up as everyone was when it came out just so...

    Interesting, I thought I needed a script to get anything like that done. Had zero expectations of insurance paying a dime, so, it's nice to not go through a gatekeeper

    Health Problems

    At the time, I realized I was in my late 20s and didn't know it, just thought it was a piece of information I should know. I figured I'd ask since they were drawing blood anyway, what's one more test tube. I ended up donating blood and finding out. I've used that information since then a grand...

    Health Problems

    I'm not sure why, but the last few PCPs I've had have been complete dicks about this. I've explicitly said I was ok with paying out of pocket for it. Craziest one in my opinion was refusing testing for my blood type - I was going to do a draw already for the standard lipid panel and asked if...

    I'm about a third of the way in. Really interesting so far. Sold me on his panel of tests, so, I started looking in to his company. Never a good sign when prices aren't posted. Looks like it's 600 for the genetic portion (which I'd probably skip) and then another 600 for the blood panel...

    Home Improvement

    I personally hate small engines, so, I bought a Greenworks mower the minute I moved into my first house - was on about 1/4 of an acre. I'm a big fan. I could mow in the morning or at night and not feel like a jerk making a bunch of noise. I could do my lawn front and back on the two included...

    Home buying thread

    I agree with the other posters, best bet is a power meter where you are monitoring the load on each breaker. One thought before that: do you have a water softener? Timing-wise, seems roughly when they usually get set to recharge. Load is way high for that, but maybe it's got a higher impedance...

    Home Improvement

    Did you get one of those Midea U shaped window units or something else inverter based? If so, I'd say it's plausible that it'd be that low since it's supplementing your whole home unit. Have you considered a portable ac unit for your son? They're a little noisier since everything is indoors...

    This is very useful, all set to lick that Zinc I've had lying around. I was surprised at Iodine first, but then thought since it's a halogen, what we're actually consuming probably isn't elemental Iodine.
