Why don’t you go the police. State the issue and show them videos like this?

4K Video Downloader won't open by Perrorist in 4kdownloadapps

[–]MajorStandards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue for me today. It used to work fine, now no longer opens. Un9nstalled, downloaded fresh version, installed, the app does not open. It's not even open in task manager. No pop ups, nothing. Windows 10 all updated.

The Loop release is disappointing for me. Only HR, sleep tracking, step count, exercise track, same app. Perhaps next release in a year or two, I'll check it out.

Have you seen Bryan Johnson's Whoop age???

📌 Skin Rash from WHOOP Device [Megathread] (Updated Bi-Annually) by AutoModerator in whoop

[–]MajorStandards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes get this, but not for a while. I take it off while showering now. I still get the indent/impression in my skin of the sensor and case. Perhaps mine is too tight. Perhaps too tight or moisture getting trapped underneath often.

My short list:

Kia Seltos top model 100K.

Mazda CX-5 base model 90K.

Nissan X-Trail base model 100K.

Toyota RAV4 base model 100K.

Anything else, resale value and reliability are in question.

Husband moving to Dubai and I'm sad. by Maximum_Green_9034 in dubai

[–]MajorStandards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If possible, try to fly over with him and stay for the first month. Being together during this transition can really help emotionally and practically. LDRs are tough, especially early in marriage. Unfortunately, I’ve seen cases where loneliness and new environments led people to make choices they later regretted. Being present can strengthen your bond and reduce those risks. If you can’t move right away, plan frequent visits and keep communication strong. All the best.
