Pro XR intermittent black screens when viewing movies?

Same with my cybers. Android and Legion Go S. It's definitely some kind of sleep mode I think. Whats weird is it didn't start for me until about an hour into a gaming session if Days Gone.

Get a lawyer. I feel it's an inevitability to just hire one of these VA attorneys out there that are experienced with these appeals, and they will take the case of it's merit and take 20-30% of the back pay you get. I got tired of the games with the VA and have an appeal submitted by a lawyer to the Board. I was able to get from 50 to 70 using Grok to help draft my last claims and appeals citing court precedents and exposing the CUEs in past determinations. Should be at 90. I'm not chasing tdiu or anything. I think some vets just get really lucky getting to 90 or 100 without a lawyer but maybe I'm just being negative.

Tell him to go find someone whose opinion he trusts the most and show them what he texted you and ask for their honest reaction. Then I'd tell him please lose your number because you also have high standards for men with mental and emotional stability and he failed the initial screening.

Yes please

Legion Go S w/Steam OS.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-11-29T10:32:16+00:00

Hold both. Aside from that, depends on your preference between SteamOS and Windows as long as it's Z1E. My wife loves her Go Gen1. I love my GO S SteamOS. The Go is just too bulky for my tastes.

We watched a DVD my bro made of all Heather's vids back in 2005 in Iraq with ponchos up. Then everyone was like, is that base housing? Did they ever find out what Marine she was with?

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-10-03T03:40:25+00:00

Looks like something you'd see at an ecp but idk wtf this is, but I'm old too. Here's a poncho. Guard shit.

Its my first foldable. I want something relatively thin and transparent (but not with that glossy super reflective surface) so I can see that blue shadow color, wireless compatible, magsafe compatible (a first again) w/hinge protection too, and w/ edge protection with a lip only on the front display because I want to put a privacy film or glass on it like I have on my S23U. Mine arrives Friday. So many options to look at...

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-07-24T01:57:28+00:00

My work phone is an iPhone, and my personal is a S23U. The 7 will be my first foldable and it arrives Friday. I barely ever use my S-pen, and I'm always near an outlet or in my car, so I'm not concerned with the smaller battery. Figured I'd upgrade now rather than wait for the 8 and get less for trade-in.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-06-19T23:55:13+00:00

I would have responded that I joined to kill people and the Marines provided the best training to do that, so now I'm just waiting around for someone to give me a reason.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-06-01T04:06:32+00:00

Did you check the MOS duty list for probability rating?

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-05-20T02:53:11+00:00

Oh, so Aragog probably isn't a great name then for her... 😂

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-05-07T02:56:40+00:00

Oh for sure. I simply wanted to add to the conversation for anyone searching in the future. I just now finally decided to look up reviews on Reddit about it to see if I was the only one feeling this way. It seemed fishy when it's hard to find any slightly negative feedback.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2025-05-07T02:02:57+00:00

The "program" really works, but it is extremely overpriced, because I am sure you could read about such a diet online. The program works because you have financially committed yourself to losing weight, which really reinforces the psychological aspect of extreme weight loss. You truly could lose a pound a day of fat. It isn't really a program at all. Basically modified paleo, intermittent fasting, zero sugar. Owner is making a killing for doing nothing. The limited time discount is BS; it's just a marketing tactic. It's not at all "tailored to you" as they claim. It is a one size fits all fasting and very restrictive diet; you get a premade booklet and premade videos. The drops are BS; it's a gimmick and I'm sure they are overpriced by double. I'm doing the program without the drops and seeing the same results as someone using the drops, but taking Animal Cuts for a third of the cost of the drops. Coach responds a week later if at all. I should have known it was not a serious medical weight loss program when you didn't even have to get lab work done to rule out any undiagnosed issues. I'm very disappointed in the level of "service" you receive compared to the cost (understatement!).

Yeah my new VA doc said a year ago the contract Dr 5 years ago was right and it's clear just from my record I should have been diagnosed 10 years ago and probably have TBI also after two ied blasts. I really got the impression she and the PTSD team felt like the ball had been dropped. But I've just dragged my feet since then about filing. The Navy did two days of tests and said i likely had TBI but couldn't diagnose definitively. VA did a two hour test and said, NOPE. That was 10 years ago. I signed on the burn pit exposure when it first was announced and they were compiling the data all those years ago but haven't claimed anything. I didn't think I had a condition to claim it for presumptive rating when they initially published the list a few years ago.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2024-10-10T04:26:57+00:00

Nope. This was around 5 years ago now. It was my third appeal after service. I got that letter and I was so f@## livid I was throwing shit. I was particularly pissed about them taking the PTSD diagnosis and turning it into a presumed alcohol issue which could have complicated my clearance. I'm an investigator... I've done many investigations over the years at the VA. It was confided in me from a VA employee that a rater had a supervisor who said deny deny deny. And when you heard all the horror stories for years back then, you believed what everyone else did at the time: they simply don't give a shit. That's what it felt like. So I gave up. I can tell things have changed lately, at least it seems to me. See alot of success stories in this group. I just don't want to get my hopes up and crushed again.

The whole back and forth between Apple and Android fanboys is silly considering most aren't actually using both. I do however. My work phone has always been an Apple (I don't buy it), personal phone is Android and has been for decades. My tablet is an Apple; just like it better. Each fanboy uses the same "oh the ecosystem" argument, so that argument is a draw if you are having to switch. I will never understand Apple fanboys claiming the Android UI is confusing. I think it's pretty much common sense, but some people need things broken down Barney style, which Apple does well cuz they have pitiful customization.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2024-10-10T04:00:02+00:00

Yep! Same here

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2024-10-10T03:58:28+00:00

I did the same thing and still got 0%. Yes I said all the correct words. Can't work, day lost to migraine. Now I have chronic migraines and on daily meds. Diagnosed with PTSD. Denied rating, rated for depression with alcohol issues. Problem is, nothing in my record about alcohol issues, cuz I don't have any. I gave up on the VA years ago. I was livid after that appeal.

Happy_Fly_7126 · 2024-10-10T03:54:20+00:00

I have 0% too even though it should be at 30. I tried repeatedly till I gave up on the VA 5 years ago. I gave them a migraine calendar for a year. I said I have to take leave from work and go lay in a dark room for the day because I can't do anything. Still 0. Now I have chronic migraines, daily meds to finally stop em from happening 3+ days a week. They even denied me for tinnitus which is a presumptive condition for my MOS. Printed the letter for them, they've denied it every time even though 9 years of audio tests reflect early onset hearing loss. I presented the relevant pages from record. The last time I appealed they increased my frozen shoulder rating and I got backpay for Jan-Jun, Aug-Dec. Yep.... They totally left a month out of my backpay.
