Does that handle a whole house? I always thought tankless water heaters were a multi-unit setup where you put one near each bathroom and one near the kitchen.

Re:jaundice, there’s an easy solution to it (fake sunlight) but you may have to go back to the NICU depending on how bad it is. Either way, at least you can know that it’s a thing that can be dealt with.

Have a doctor appointment Monday AM, hopefully they can see if there is something wrong... maybe get referred to a good physiotherapist? Luckily I have a good friend that is an RMT that can probably help once I get some sort of idea what's going on. Otherwise, I might have to try and see if I can learn to sleep on my back as that seems to relieve the discomfort in bed when it is sore... as does bringing my legs right up (basically taking the curve out of my back) but being a 40+ year stomach sleeper, that's going to be a drat tough habit to change.

Try one of those body pillows and see if it pushes you onto your side to sleep.

Yep, and it turned out I had (and still have) minor scoliosis yay.

Going to a firm mattress helped a lot, a regular mattress not memory foam that makes it worse. You get much more support from a traditional firm mattress, the tradeoff is they are not ideal at all for side sleepers, but if you are a back or stomach sleeper it's the best you can do for your back imo. I went from a tempurpedic to traditional and it was a huge improvement. If you are a side sleeper i would say look into the new sleep number beds.

I have had all sorts of weird back and sleeping issues. I used to sleep on my stomach, then herniated a disc so I can't even do that for 20 minutes now. Then I became a back sleeper, until it would hurt my back in the morning and ache throughout the day. Then slept on my side, until meniere's disease and vertigo made me dizzy sleeping on my right side, so I only slept on my left side. Now I have a broken left collar bone, so I'm out of options. :v: Back to sleeping on my back which isn't going too terribly admittedly, but I usually wake up after about 6 hours max with a sore back and start my day at 4am sometimes.

GL slidebite, hopefully the doc or a mattress fixes you up.

Haha yeah, I told my Overwatch team I probbo won’t be on for the next three months and I’ve picked up Eve again because I can just log in here and there and update market orders or have stuff shipped to sell

I actually quit playing PUBG because I was like top 1500 or 1000 ranked in NA and it took 20min to get a lobby


...that always had cheaters in it. I think I’ll be swapping to BLOPS4 because the beta was fantastic and the game is so much better optimized than PUBG

Since, well, all of the mounts are hosed on my car, I've been ordering all new mounts. They're bad enough that the engine moves several inches just letting the clutch out slightly with my foot on the brake.

Also, GM calls the front and rear motor mounts on the transverse-application Ecotec "transmission mounts". Apparently the transaxle actually has 3 mounts, and the engine itself only has 1. :stonkhat: So I was a little surprised to get the passenger side mount when I ordered a "front motor mount" until I figured that out.

Anyway, went to Amazon to order the last one that I need, and...



Uh, wha... hmmm. Well, it's not a pair of ruby red slippers, but it'll do. (it's also the only result for that part number)

If I actually get the mount that I ordered, I'll be both surprised and impressed. That's gotta be a pretty big pricing fuckup, it's a hair under $60 on Rockauto.

That uh... Really doesn't sound right? Does the system not have pressure relief and/or bladder tank? What kind of pressure is it getting up to?

It does have the pressure temp valve on the top of the tank, and that blows at 1000kpa or 95 degrees, but the very top of the tank where the sensor is and the roof panels discharge into can regularly get up to over 100. I've seen my panel sensor top out before and just display HI- and that maxes at 120 degrees!

Theres a VERY good reason why solar hot water units are required by law to have tempering valves fitted... Its very, very possible to get 80-90 degree water from a tap without one.

Amazon doesn't have a facility to handle core returns and exchanges, they'd just throw them in the junk boxes.

So, home shopping sucks a ton. Two houses we've liked. The first was vastly overpriced and they were like "we know what we have" types of people. The second needed a lot of work but the wife wasn't feeling that amount of renovation right now, Not when we're on different schedules.

Had two more lined up to look at today. One sold Friday, the other accepted an offer midday saturday. There's a drat shortage of viable homes around here and with numerous businesses announcing major job expansion it's just going to get worse for us. I was just adding up the numbers and there's 6,000 new jobs coming to town in the next year and who knows what else is on the menu.

Switch to a the lowest out of pocket insurance you can get for next year because just the steroid injection is $10k and will take you over the limit. Then try that. Go to a real back doctor, one that will slice you open and grind the disc or fuse your spine together do not gently caress around with guys that don't do real fixes. You wouldn't fix the crank in your car by massaging the oil pan.

People are not cars. The data on surgery is not compelling. Big shock: The people trained to perform surgery and who get paid when they perform surgery often recommend surgery even when the long-term outcomes are not great for many chronic back issues.

I stopped playing in early 2014, which iirc was right around the time we lost Dek, or at least there were convoys to Delve going on at the time. I wasn't interested in moving my poo poo again and was pretty burnt out already by the time I went to Fanfest that year.
