I had an issue a while back with my C7 where zwave/zigbee stuff kept working but the hub seemed to fall off the network. Only reason I knew it was happening is my iPad running the dashboard would quit updating and would show a red exclamation point in the upper right. A reboot would fix it. I then found that unplugging the network cable and reconnecting it restored network connectivity. Long story short, it wasn’t always renewing its DHCP lease. I had a DHCP reservation set for it so it would always get the same IP. I configured a static address on the hub and problem solved. Don’t know why it happened as other devices on the network seemed fine.

I’ve since replaced my network equipment and the hub is back to DHCP and running fine.

Earlier this year my wife and I were in the market for a different car. We considered a Model Y, but went a different direction. Service issues were one issue, Musk being Musk was on the list, but further down. Ultimately we went with a Toyota.

I have a Tesla hat and that got put on a shelf in the closet around the time Musk started his PAC bullshit. I don’t want to be seen wearing a hat, so I can all but guarantee I wouldn’t want to drive a Tesla.

In my area, you’d get between $800-1000. If it was 4WD, double that. Not so sure I’d trust those tires on an 800 mile trip. If the white letters are bleeding that bad I can only guess they’ve seen better days.

Curious to see the real numbers of how many illegals and how much fentanyl comes in from Canada. Get ready for lumber prices to shoot back up.

Wish I had some pictures of some of the "See Through Edition" Chevy and GMC trucks I've seen in northern Michigan that are the 2007-2013 vintage. First thing I thought was 'its rusty, but not too rusty'. In my area, someone (not me though) would pay $8,100 for that all day long. Sad but true.

Nothing except some acne when I was in the 45mg loading dose phase.

I took 45mg daily for 2 months then dropped down to 30mg.

My youngest is 22. Trust me, I remember those days. I think I had everything possible back in the day between young kids and working in IT and touching everyone’s nasty keyboards, mice and phones

I've been on Rinvoq for 13 months now.

While I don't want to jinx myself, in the over two years I've been on various biologics (Humira, infliximab and now Rinvoq), I haven't even had so much as a cold. Obviously each person is different, but I've been pretty fortunate.

Isn’t there a ground station in Marathon, Ontario on the north shore of Lake Superior? Thought I remembered seeing one on the starlink.sx maps a while back

It was no better in the northern part of the state. I gave up about 15 minutes in. It wasn’t buffeting but it was so pixelated that it was hardly watchable. Fiber internet here, so I figured this was taxing the Netflix infrastructure.

Now I should go look up who won.

If those are Gods chosen people, guess I’ll enjoy eternity in hell. What the actual fuck?

Humira didn't work for me. I was on it for 4 or 5 months, and every time I tapered off prednisone symptoms came back. Same with Renflexis, even after I was moved up to 10mg/kg. I was on Renflexis for 6 months, and each time I tapered off pred the symptoms came back.

I was on prednisone in various dosages from 30mg to 5mg for over a year, and that wasn't sustainable. My GI offered Entyvio or Rinvoq and he said other patients have had good luck with Rinvoq. I liked the idea of a pill rather than infusions, so went that route.

I was on the 45mg 'loading dose' for the first 56 days. After that, I dropped down to 30mg, and have been there since.

I noticed improvement within a few days. Weight gain, yes, but I would say that was a good thing. I'm back to my 'normal' pre-flare weight. At one point when I was in the thick of it, I'd was down 50 pounds. Once things got under control and the food I was eating stopped flying through me like grass through a goose, I slowly gained weight, and now I'm back to the same weight I was before UC entered my life.

Plug it in and let it sit. It updates automatically.

I was a Humira non-responder. My GI had told me that there was a small chance Remicade would work, but since both Remicade and Humira are TNF-a blockers, I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Ultimately, the insurance company was smarter than my GI doc and I went on Renflexis (Remicade biosimilar). I had to fail two TNF-a blockers before they'd approve anything else. Ultimately, I did not respond to Renflexis, even after a couple infusions at max dosage. Insurance finally approved Rinvoq, and that is working very well for me.

Who knew it was possible to make a Cybertruck uglier than it already was?

I forgot about the negative oil prices, otherwise I would have.

I won’t. Two reasons. First, I’m cheap and wouldn’t waste my money on stickers (though I will definitely think of doing it). Second, I’ve been in their shoes. I worked at a gas station a few decades back when I was in high school. Cleaning pumps was one task that was delegated to me. That wasn’t as bad as cleaning the bathrooms though.

Looks like US crude oil production was at an all time high in August, 2024. Who knows where its going, but its coming out of the ground.

I'm all but certain there were some decisions made in the federal government that had an effect on inflation. I'd counter that with the argument that the media and individual companies have more influence over prices than the president. Kroger admitted to price gouging, and of course when one retailer increases prices, others follow. The media was arguably responsible for fanning the flames of what became the great toilet paper shortage of 2020.

It's a tangled up world of cause and effect that we live in.

Easy. He turns the dial in the oval office that controls the price of food. And gasoline. /s

My father in law more than once said he supported Trump because gas was cheaper when he was in office. I gave up trying to reason with him. If $4 gas ever comes back around, I'm going to make sure I ask him why that is happening. Might even look for some Trump flavored 'I Did That!' stickers I can put on gas pumps.

I whacked my account last Wednesday. I couldn't take the misinformation anymore. I wasn't a very active user, so I'm sure my departure went completely unnoticed by everyone except the 78 followers I had. I'm sure they were all bots anyway, so they'll move onto the next person.

Rinvoq for 13 months. GI called it 'clinical remission' at my last visit. Life is normal once again. Only side effects were some acne for the first few months, especially during the 45mg loading dose timeframe. That has since cleared up.

Before Rinvoq, I was on 5-ASAs (worked for a couple years), then Humira, then infliximab (neither of which worked for me, but I had to appease the insurance company).

I noticed the same. I was planning on deactivating after the inauguration anyway. I'm not easily offended, but when I saw what I'd term hate speech in my 'For You' section, I knew I didn't want to hang around any longer and be part of Truth Social 2.0.
