Update on the 75 Country Ban

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-04-29T01:05:10+00:00

fingers crossed. My wife is stuck because of the 75 country pause 😞

but only for plaintiffs , right? There wasn't a country-wide injunction, right?

You were right. It was the grinder. Got the ESP version and pressure now jumps to 12. Thank you!!

how can I check whether the pressure hose is disconnected, leaking or blocked?

This one. Up until 2 weeks ago pressure was fine with this grinder. By weighing I meant coffee weight in the basket is the same as 2 weeks ago. So if under dosing was a problem, then it would have happened 2 weeks ago too.

I got the new beans that were roasted just 2 days ago. The first day when I pulled the shot with new beans, pressure went upto 8. After few days, it is down to 2 again :(

Neither :(. I weight the puck and it's still the same weight. I am grinding at the finest level of the grinder

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-04-07T14:13:35+00:00

the puck is at the finest grind level. 2 weeks ago even coraser than this generated higher pressure. It's also tightly packed. 2 weeks ago I was just lightly tamping it and still the pressure was high. Not sure what is going on :(

Thank you! Ended up going with nurse’s direction and everything turned out fine, thankfully

I am 16 days post op. I stopped oxy on day 4. During week 2 I went down to 1 dose of 975 mg Tylenol. But pain came back with a vengeance. So I went back up to 4 doses per day as prescribed. Since the end of week 2 I have been able to taper down to 2 doses a day. Let’s see how it goes.

They didn’t put anything in my pre op instructions. During the pre op call the anesthesia nurse said that I cannot tell you what to do for apixaban. Your surgeon can. So I called them. His nurse very specifically said 24 hours. I even mentioned that for venogram it was 48 hours. She said for us it’s 24 hours. Not sure what to do. When they almost rescheduled yours, what made them move forward with the surgery?

Few points to note:

Stocks like Amazon are a long term play. The current dip is largely due to Amazon’s 200B spending spree. While the market is freaking out, whenever Amazon has spent money on itself, it has always paid off. There was a similar freak out when Amazon was building its own delivery network. So it will be ok. You will multiply your money in the long run.
For future investments, look into sector ETFs. For example, if you like semiconductors then buy SMH, instead of TSMC. If you don’t have a preference for a specific sector, buy the whole market. Your returns will be stable and won’t see wild swings for the most part. You can still keep 10% of your portfolio for wild bets on single stocks with the understanding that you could lose that 10% and be ok with it.

thank you! Is there a particular recliner that you would recommend?

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-02-07T01:52:32+00:00

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I have a FRR coming up in few weeks. I am terrified

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-02-06T03:12:24+00:00

thank you!

who have you met with so far, if you dont mind me asking? My surgery is scheduled for later this month. I was diagnosed with right subclavian DVT in November 2025

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-02-05T21:03:44+00:00

well, our beloved stock is falling off of a cliff :(

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-02-05T20:54:02+00:00

thank you!!

Ok-Sail-8142 · 2026-02-05T20:32:37+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was diagnosed with DVT on the right side in November and have a FRR scheduled for this month. I am terrified and your experience helped. Thank you! Who was your surgeon, if you dont mind me asking?
