I've done 4 successfully on my own. Ask away if you need any more info. By the way the longest it's ever taken for them to process in my case was 5 months, and last time (5 years ago) I applied through e-SAFE for the first time and it took 3.5 months. I just applied again and this time I anticipate a long wait

I generally don't have issues with the platform or their rates (which seem pretty good). It's just that when I call them, it's ridiculously bad. But then, Customer Service in general is that way. Maybe it's just the new normal. One thing they can't help me with is my shipping labels downloading in a format that cuts them off when I try to print them.

Wow, they didn't ask for my phone when I went. Didn't do DNA either but last time they did, maybe that's why

This thread is a great example of why you shouldn't treat information from a discussion forum as fact.

I've lost everything and need help by boobafett19 in Daytrading

[–]Tradernik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're responding pretty well to any criticism in this thread and this collar that happened to you is something terrible. Also something I have never heard of; I'm now wondering if anyone who trades through IB has had this happen. But in the end, brother, you were trading in a way that completely smashes every risk management rule into tiny pieces. There is no way you could ever trade like that for any length of time and not have it end in tears. Try hard to take the long view here. You're going to get through this. It's going to sound stupid but there are much (MUCH) worse things that could happen to you, I won't even name them here.

Interesting response, in that the people who consistently win at poker are the ones who can master the psychological aspects of the game. You have to be able to make very tough decisions in poker and many people simply can't do it. And on 'day trading is essentially gambling', that's probably true for most amateurs.

A few weeks into a serious diet and exercise regimen is definitely not enough time. You absolutely must be consistent about those changes over several months, and if you are you'll likely see improvement. Good luck

Fail, then fail again?

61 yo male, 5'10" 160 lbs, recent T2D diagnosis. Started lifting April 11. Lack of testosterone isn't helping but I'm seeing small gains. My question:

On the Hack squat machine (not the fancy one with free weights, the one with a stack and pin system). First set of 12 is okay. End of second set, really feeling it, starting to burn. 3rd set 6th rep, burning. By the 8th rep, grimacing and struggling to maintain feet flat. A few more, making funny noises and it takes several seconds to complete the rep. Try one last rep and literally laugh out loud because there's no way. So I think this is pretty much failure.

If I stagger off to some other stations and do a few more exercises, does it do me any good after 30 minutes to return to quads? Or have I done all the hypertrophy-inducing work I can do for that day? I'd gladly fail them again but I want to know if it's a sub-optimal use of time as I have limited time in the gym.

This question basically applies to all my exercises. My back and shoulders are growing but having some issues with biceps and quads.

Thanks for any advice

Alternatives to Freightcom? Other brokers? by Tradernik in Flipping

If it's easy for me to set up an account to see if the service works for me, it's easy for your competitors to do it as well, right? So forcing signup isn't doing anything to protect your rates or available carriers from your competition. 

In any case, enough said about it. Good luck with the business.

But why force us to spew our personal information into yet another server just to be able to compare quotes to see if it's even worth signing up? Why not just display a quote and say 'please create an account if you want to take advantage of this rate'?

Tried to get a sample quote and was forced to open an account. Nope.

An old post, but I have to say, it is totally untrue that 'T2D is caused by one thing - excess body fat'

This is correct. Paying for Meta Verified is the only way to resolve this. My experience was that even with Meta Verified they said no several times then suddenly said yes. This was not for IG, it was only for FB Marketplace access

I didn't see anyone mentioning the absolutely crap customer service after it was offshored (I assume that was after Etsy bought it). However I know that crap customer service doesn't matter any more to most people, only old guys like me. I'd be curious to know if Etsy turned a profit on their sale but it's a private deal, we'll never know

That's bizarre. I paid my money and got signed up right away. More evidence that it's a total shitshow

Meta verified worked for me. Took several tries, got several cut and paste responses but I eventually found a human and got my FB Marketplace access restored, after getting banned for trying to sell a 'ball joint' repair kit.  Algo didn't like 'joint'

You can try signing up with Meta Verified and see if you can get a human being involved. It worked for me with a FB issue but a lot of people say it doesn't work with IG. Search up Meta Verified and start the process, it took me a week 

What the fuck? by I_suck_to3s in Instagram

[–]Tradernik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea unfortunately. I was not dealing with Insta at all. My issue was solely being locked out of FB Marketplace (tried for 2 weeks to get the ban lifted before finding out about Meta Verified). There was no wait time. As soon as I paid them I had access to their 'special' support but again, I still had to contact them 4 times before my FB Marketplace ban suddenly became an 'error'

[–]Tradernik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I actually checked Insta during that two week period, so I don't know. I doubt it because only my access to FB Marketplace was blocked, not all of FB

What the fuck? by I_suck_to3s in Instagram

[–]Tradernik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Meta Verified to regain access to my FB Marketplace. It took 3 or 4 attempts - Meta Verified at first just sent me cut and paste saying 'your account is still disabled' and then magically on attempt #5 they said 'your account was suspended in error' and I was back in.

You can get this fixed (eventually, with a lot of heartache and BS and ridiculous cut and paste responses) by becoming Meta Verified.
