  1. Pre Afrin there was another spray, don't remember the name. Maybe that? Downside is 4-6 hour effectiveness. If you need a CPAP this will change your life. Worth the effort.
  2. Yes, both of those things are correct. You use self calibrating without a real study for light issues, and self calibrating with a sleep study for severe ones. Still self calibrating based on the data from the study. One of my friends has the most severe form possible, and once they moved him to a self calibrating machine a few years ago he says it's been fantastic. He would dip into low 70s SPO2, which is all kinds of fucked. You can simply use Afrin short term to remove congestion all night and see how the machine works. Afrin should not be used long term. Also ignore the dosage, start with a super light single spray and wait 20 minutes before judging the effect. I've been using it as-needed for allergies most of my life, no sinus damage, and a very minimal amount works just not instantly.
  3. A few of my friends have auto-calibrating, self-reporting machines. If you didn't get that, you're being ripped off. They will all tell you that breathing properly during sleep definitely changed their lives. Do you also have allergies and/or other sinus issues? The machine may reduce allergy problems but you have to get past the current set of symptoms, such as by using a decongestant.
  4. I have to assume that NJ>WA is farther or otherwise more expensive than AZ>NJ. I'm interested in this because I'm currently reviewing our shipping options and what we do. It's odd how things change. A few days ago I went to send something to a place in VA that had no overnight options, and was expensive.
  5. Crazy shit. Gotta be a local tax thing.
  6. NJ tax? UPS store rate? My view doesn't look like that, it's UPS brown and shows normal costs. Weird.
  7. I just sent a 5 pound package AZ>NJ for $13, I'm mystified that AirPods could cost $28.
  8. Oh, for shipping, you can do the UPS label online and not pay the ripoff price at the UPS store. It should be under $8 for that.
  9. All laptops have Bluetooth in 2022. They just won't be as seamless as they are with a MacBook - iPhone - iPad but will function. You lose the auto-switch, like I can be listening to music on a device then instantly take a call on another.
  10. Cheap and looks clean. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/1998-Honda-CBR+1100XX-5023278994?cmp=email_cycle_search-alert
  11. I didn't watch the whole thing because I hate reggae, but flipping through it, I didn't see one fucking banana. Go figure. Looks like I'm about $50 into making this $380 device, and some shop fun time. Nobody seems to have the plastic locally unless I buy 48x96 sheets, and even that is rare in 1/2" thickness. Called my favorite plastics supplier today and he was amused enough to go look in the scrap bin, but no, "we never get a call for something that thick." I need to go check my supply of plastic knob bolts, but I should have four alike out of the couple dozen on hand. I ordered a 24x12 sheet on Amazon for $70 so I'll have some stock for other jigs and add-ons, but doesn't arrive until middle of next week. WHERE IS MY INSTANT GRATIFICATION?
  12. Found the size, 14mm, and Source One answered my email. The unbreakable is actually Lexan/poly. They just listed it that way because everyone searches for acrylic. Nice, very nice, what about those of us searching for poly and trying to figure out why nobody sells that? 6.3x13.5, which means I need a sheet larger than the cheap 12". But still not $380.
  13. Also, it's clearly more than 1/4". What do you think, half? 3/8"? It needs to be totally solid. It's 6.3" wide for scale. I can't find a video with a banana.
  14. Lexan is polycarbonate, and Plexi is acrylic. These both say acrylic, but one is "unbreakable." And of course, you know what that challenge means to my brain. And if it's unbreakable, what does that do to cutability?
  15. The new iPhone has an always on display. It turns off over night, when I'd like it to be a clock. WTF!
  16. Looking to make my own version of the product below, because well, WTF $380???? I can buy a sheet of acrylic for $15 or "unbreakable" for $30. Anyone know what the difference really is? Googling it doesn't help. I'd pay for the strongest version. It will need to be cut, sanded, and drilled. Acrylic is mostly easy to work with until it decides to explode randomly.
  17. I'm certain that's my problem. The obvious search for fairing hardware comes up with a lot of shitty Chinese stuff. I'll get measurements. I can't recall the sizes of the XX hardware.
  18. Do you have much for body hardware? I have a need for shouldered, wide-head metric hardware for a non XX plastic cover (electric bicycle). Not sure if they are the same size, will measure if you have some. My searching has not turned up other options and the XX hardware seems perfect if it fits.
  19. Ask her if you should be tapping her instead when you wake up.
  20. On the upside, every post bumps up your thread. That's a great deal, surprised nobody jumped on it.
  21. Going away for sure. Just like the last time I had two good video drones, the new generation makes me never fly the old gen. So the kit is going up for sale for sure. Going on eBay tomorrow.
  22. Real Kevlar ultra-thin cases, one for the 12 or 13 Pro, and one for the Pro Max. These are sized for the 13, which means they also fit the 12. The only difference is that the 13 has a larger camera hole. In great shape, and they feel great. I wish they were making these for the 14 Pro in this color. They have the MagSafe booster magnets and stick like crazy. How about $25 shipped each? They are $60 new on Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JJZRC9L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And a 12 Pro Max ultra thin case, also has a nice grip feel with a silky surface. Also great shape, $10 shipped. She used this for only a couple weeks before falling in love with the kevlar case above. This one does not have booster magnets.
  23. Dude, you seriously need to realize that your "research" is always wrong; political, technical, whatever. I don't get it. I think you're a smart dude and then you just post the opposite of reality every damn day.
  24. What makes you believe it doesn't come with a charger? Does *anything* make you happy? But seriously it's super convenient.
  25. Dude, it's Dave. His stuff is in identical condition to a stock photo, but more polished and coated with wax.
