My wife got repeated infections and had a lot of pain from the copper iud.

If you go looking for testimonials you’ll find numerous people who had bad experiences with it.

Also, they really should offer anesthetic or at least a powerful painkiller for the insertion and removal procedures. Doctors act like it’s no big deal, but it’s very painful.

4 pump impeller failures in 5 years. 1 time a mask strap got past the strainer. I’ll take the blame on that, but the other 3 were just long hair and bad design/materials choices.

And the algorithm AI does magic to make our product more awesome than the competitor.

Yeah, the lack of formal definition of what is and is not considered ai definitely muddies the waters when talking about applications and capabilities.

4 times in the last 5 years.

There’s a combination of flaws. The strainer basket doesn’t do a very good job keeping debris out of the impeller. There’s little separation between the steainer and the impeller. So long hairs that are partially caught in the strainer can still wrap around the impeller.

The pump itself has a terrible impeller design. The impeller is nylon and is press fit onto a 1/8 brass rod that just has a flat ground on it, no knurling or splines. The nylon cracks easily and ends up free spinning.

They use the same pump in loads of washer models. So yes, there’s a very large user base, but that’s a lot of people with part failures. The pump is garbage and lg should not be using it.

I’m constantly replacing the drain pump in my LG washer. When a replacement part has thousands of reviews on amazon, you know the brand has to know their parts are crap and either doesn’t care or wanted it that way. They’re on my never buy list now.

Ai is already being incorporated into chip design tools like synopsys. TechTechPotato has an interesting interview with Aart de Geus that is relevant.

Ai is far off from making high level design improvements, but it can greatly reduce the workload on trace and route and other design steps.

My parents are around 44 deg lat and their tomatoes do very well. It seems like something else must be limiting your success.

Or a chicken drumstick for somewhat similar bone strength.

They were talking about your use of loose in place of lose.

When considering shorting stocks it’s important to remember one of Keynes’ better quotes, “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Add in the glove box and that makes 5.

Bamboo is just a really big grass. Most grasses can handle having their stems bent to extreme angles because they’re hollow. So the bending folds the outer layer rather than ripping it apart entirely.

The 14 °C is a really nice touch. Well done.

Yeah RIP tigerdirect and old Newegg.

B&H has been a good experience, but their pricing tends to be a bit high with only a handful of good deals.

There’s no consistently great place to buy pc components online as far as I’m aware. Amazon is rife with sketchy sellers, Newegg will sell you damaged goods and blame you on the return, best buy hides/mislabels specs, and everywhere else is expensive.

Microcenter is the gold standard for cheap PC parts, but they don’t sell much online and they have very limited locations.

Beyond that, Newegg and amazon will have sales quite frequently that make a budget builds possible.

In the US $500 might get you a decent office desktop, but I would say to expect closer to $800 minimum for a PC with a dedicated gpu.

The nearest Best Buy didn’t have any headset demos. Maybe I should check one closer to downtown. My closest Best Buy has been retrofitted to be mostly fulfillment center now. The product displays are a bit on the meager side.

I wish there was a place where I could try before buying.

I tried an occulus dev kit a long time ago which made me horribly nauseous. I know vr has come a long way since then so I’d love to see if the improvements are sufficient to make it usable for me now or if I’m just doomed to motion sickness with goggle displays.

I rented a Nissan that would scream at you for deviating from a lane. I couldn’t turn it off fast enough. Driving on a small winding road was constant false positives. Even on the highways, faded and repainted lines was throwing false positives. It was more of a distraction than a help. When driving in an unfamiliar city I didn’t need the car distracting me with its disfunction.

Turning it off was buried deep in a menu that was not convenient to find. There would be no way to quickly or safely toggle it on and off as conditions vary.

Rada makes some pretty decent metal spatulas if you want specific recommendations.

The blade part is way thinner than plastic spatulas. Now that I’m used to the stainless steel ones, I feel clumsy and inept when I have to use someone else’s nylon spatula.
