Rogue_Alphonse Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 My furnace just ran out of heating oil. I'm keeping the tank low/empty though, because I want to rip it out and pop in a propane unit. At least I have a propane fireplace :3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case is the heat sink and it doesn’t look like much but the grooves increase the surface area something like 5x and it’s like 16 pounds of aluminum Edited February 26, 2022 by Poof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really embarrassing. I had a cold two months ago, and it popped back up, which being in sales is really difficult. I even have a weird coworker who pointed it out and asked "Hey what's wrong with your arm?" In front of my other coworkers, and I had to say "I have psoriasis and it's not contagious" It seems like once I get it it's a struggle to get rid of it I take a lot of vitamins to help, because I found that once I get sick and it pops back up then I need to be really hydrated and take vitamins trying to get rid of it I also have cortizone cream but that alone won't stop it.

discolé monade Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 aloe vera is a great help. baking soda (make a paste) also a great itch relief. and cayenne pepper helps greatly for itch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My legs were bad but have majorly cleared up. I'm on the last of the prescriptions I have from living up north, which I use on the worst spots, and the rest gets Gold Bond... which has been doing well. This flare-up is the worst manageable, fastest spread, and most painful I have ever had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, it's just a program (or part of one) going rogue. A couple older versions of MacOS had an issue with the Push and Sync APIs with cloud services. They were patched out at a later date, thank goodness. Many times, a simple restart would fix the services, because it would quit them normally, then restart. Unfortunately, there was a bug in a couple older versions where that service wouldn't right itself. Basically, it would sync, but not get part of the data, so it would re-search for the sync (to complete it), get it, but NOT register that it got it. So it would redo that process over and over, eating up processor speed (and battery on notebooks). Good news is that it is really rare, and keeping up to date/patching normally fixes it. I'm thinking with yours, it's just a rogue service being stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
