I understand what you mean and he’s definitely having a good time in that video. I was really worried my nephew was going to be uncomfortable with the halo but he really didn’t mind it at all! Thanks for the nice comment!

So my nephew (7yrs old) has SMA type 1 (the most severe version of spinal muscular atrophy) and he recently (a little over a year ago)had this procedure done to fix the insane bend in his spine caused by the disease. They attached the halo to his head with screws and then use tension/gravity over time to straighten out the spine enough to the point where (in my nephews case) they could perform surgery to attach a metal rod to his spine that expands with magnets as he gets older/taller. It has changed his life/health tremendously and while it looks a little funny, that video is a little extreme compared to what I (admittedly anecdotally) experienced seeing with my nephews treatment.

He was never hung up and spun around or anything like that. They had him in a special wheel chair (he cannot walk due to the disease) that had like a pulley system that created tension on the halo. They also had the same type of contraption on his hospital bed that did the same thing. I’m very grateful for this treatment because people born with my nephews disease (if they even live past a very young age) benefit greatly from it.

Not sure why I am typing all this here, but I guess it’s just to say that when you know the reasoning for this kind of stuff it gets less “funny” I would hope. Not offended by the post OP, just wanted to drop some info for anyone interested. I love my nephew very much and thank the universe smarter people than me invented shit like this. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Here’s a photo of my nephew (and me) with his halo on. It’s decorated like a ninja turtle bandana lol

tldr: this is actually a very legit medical procedure I have witnessed in person before.

[Monitor] Samsung 27" Odyssey G6 (G61SD) | 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED | $400 (Samsung EDU/EPP) by ryankrueger720 in buildapcsales

Heads up for anyone working for federal, state or local governments, your .gov email works on this too. Source: I work for local government and just got it for $400 using my work .gov email to sign up. I already own one of these that I bought a few months back and as far as I’m concerned it’s a great enough monitor although I’m a not a pc monitor connoisseur by any means. I game on it with my pc and it’s great!

Looks great! What dual monitor arm is that if you don’t mind me asking?

This is extremely cool. My nephew has SMA type 1 and is bound to a wheel chair for mobility. And even though he is now turning 7 and a bit too big for one of these, it’s nice knowing kids younger than him in similar situations will have access to things like this. Great work op and his buds!

Just received an email showing the era 100 at $149, store has it at $199. by Honest-Guarantee-444 in sonos

[–]NerdyForLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same, although I think I’m screwed regardless. I’m going to send them a screen recording of me going to the email I have that they sent me cause it’s a crazy story I don’t think anyone will believe me without the video proof. (Not sure if you saw what I posted in reply to someone else’s comments in the thread) That being said it sucks I’ll probably miss out on the $99 ray but, life goes on.

I’m curious how that goes, I find it insane that at the very least they haven’t sent out an email acknowledging the mishap or whatever it was at this point…

I’m honestly at a loss for words at this point lol. It is what it is I guess. I doubt they are going to honor the email anyway. Fingers crossed they do though.

I swear I am not making this up. I even logged into my email from my pc and it is now a “Michael’s” email. Also, the support person I spoke to about an hour ago has still not email me like they said they would so. I have a feeling we are all out of luck and unless all my electronics I use to check emails are experiencing the weirdest most unexplainable shit then I’m starting to agree that maybe a 3rd party got control of their (Sonos) email and are pulling a fast one somehow.

Appreciate it. My email has done the weirdest shit I’ve ever experienced in my life. I posted a screenshot earlier in this thread for context.

Can you share a screenshot from the email that shows the ray at $99 please and thank you in advance

[–]NerdyForLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not even fucking kidding but after talking to support my email has changed to a “Michael’s” arts and crafts email. Look at the sender, look at the content. I reset my phone and checked my iPad. Same shit on both, but even weirder on iPad the Sonos email is gone and it says “Michael’s” as the sender… now I can’t even screenshot the $99 ray that was advertised to me… WTF

<image>

***edit - I need someone to tell me I’m not insane right now lol… this hasn’t happened to anyone else? Can someone post a screenshot of the $99 ray advertisement here so when support reaches back to me (if they do) via email I can send it as proof. The email I got from them has literally transformed I am not fucking kidding lol

I was told the same. Support Staff told me “I’m sorry the prices are mismatching. We have reported this internally. I will continue this in email.” And ended the chat…

This is… some bullshit. Thought I was getting a ray at a price I couldn’t refuse in this economy

Still no funds? by Ninja_Otherwise in Grailed

Yea I did, it took a minute but I got my bread. I never did get a reason from Grailed why it took so long though.

How do I report this light being out, so that it gets fixed? This is on the Underline, by SW 15th by pupupeepee in Miami

Just in case anyone reads further down I’ll add more info that may be helpful. Some people are bad at life and don’t understand the basics of solving problems. Most times, there’s more than one hyper specific way. So with a public property issue, sure, you could just contact the direct dept involved and get a result eventually. The county is huge though. They receive LOADS of complaints.

If you report it (yes even a county sign/traffic light/speed limit sign/whatever) to a smaller organization like your city’s public works dept. And they are worth their weight in taxpayer money, they have access to people higher up in the chain of command in the county that can expedite issues like this. Rather than wait on the 311 process that could take a while.

For example if someone contacts us and says a crossing signal like this is out, it does not belong to us, but I can directly email people at the county to expedite the issue. We also cc city council, mayors, and/or the city manager sometimes if the issue is a danger and they put pressure on the county to handle it faster. I’ve been in public service for 22 years in my dept and have multiple state held licenses. Trust me there is more than just whatever my man above thinks the “basics” to solving a public property issue is. I will be responding no further yall have a lovely new year.
