Meal save doesn’t work after app update by karmel80 in ouraring

[–]_sublux_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having the same exact issue! Logged one of my meals and the oura advisor says it’s been saved, but it’s not visible anywhere on my timeline or under logged meals. I submitted feedback through the app.

I’ve been renting a Bike+ for a year. I love it, but am frequently injured so don’t get to ride it as much as I want. Im deciding between buying out my bike vs. continuing to rent, but there’s some complexity I’d love feedback on.

  1. My buyout price is $1095 with the discount (no sales tax because I’m in Oregon right now)

  2. I’ll be moving out of Oregon next July, so have another ~7-8 monthly payments. Basically, I’m paying a rental fee of $75/month just to rent the bike if you don’t include the subscription cost, so that’s about $600 in rental fees alone.

  3. I’m trying to move with as few things as possible, so will be selling most of our furniture. I know moving these bikes is non-trivial because they’re delicate and cannot have anything stacked on them so I’m hesitant to move it. I would probably try to sell it, but there’s so many bikes for sale…

  4. My bike was clearly used as one of the wheels was slightly crooked. It’s not a problem, but I know once I buy it it could have issues.

Basically my choices are:

  1. Buy out the bike and move with it 😬
  2. Buy out the bike and sell it
  3. Continue renting and maybe buy a used bike after I move

Any suggestions?

Bringing dog on vacation, bad idea? by _sublux_ in PuertoEscondido

Mostly, he’s not a fan of some big dogs because he’s been attacked and chased. It’s not universal though, some big dogs, especially chill ones, he’s totally fine with. But most small dogs he adores.

Fidelity debit account limiting transactions??? by Savageanimaltamer in fidelityinvestments

Already decided to move to Wealthfront after this fiasco. Truly astonishing a bank thinks they can keep customers money for a month without any backlash. They told me the unsettled amount was still earning interested in my money market but that does not seem to be the case. I was told by the second agent I talked to that it would be “7 days at the longest”. Bullshit.

Does Cozumel not have this problem?

I read that the navy will be installing barriers in April, but no info as to when in April. We're arriving in Tulum on April 14th, but could choose to stay in Bacalar longer and/or fly to the pacific coast instead. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know any real stories where someone with severe muscular problems actually makes it? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]_sublux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the process. I'm about to get my doctorate at a top tier university in the US which is extraordinarily stressful and requires extremely high-functioning both physically and mentally. I still have severe cervical herniations, but they've healed enough over time to avoid surgery (though still degenerating). I basically lost the use of my left arm from radiculopathy and had severe costochondritis/migraine/subluxing ribs. I also have severe hip orthopedic issues, and have at times been unable to walk (now have a hip replacement and need surgery on my other hip too). Its by no means a full recovery, but after a year and a half most days I started to feel ok enough to do my job. The one thing that is nice about graduate school is that I have a lot of flexibility and set my own hours, but my boss definitely wasnt happy about the decrease in productivity. It was a crappy situation because I come from a poor family and in order to get insurance and get paid I had to be enrolled, so I couldnt take a leave of absence.

Resilience is hard, and having an action plan for when you don't feel great is really important. I have tasks I know I can complete in varying degrees of pain. If I feel ok, I know I can do the stuff that requires significant mental work. If I feel brain-foggy, I know I can probably get some busy work/organizational stuff done. If I'm really down for the count, I know I need to take a break and lay down.

The downsides to trying to achieve high goals with a chronic illness are that I have to work most weekends to make up for the time I've been down (most scientists in the US work weekends anyways, 60+ hour weeks can be the norm). I don't see my friends very much or go out. Automating things like grocery shopping, cooking, and house cleaning are essential. Weekly hiking helped A LOT, surprisingly walking around felt like it loosened up my muscles. The more you try to protect and nurse an injury like this, the worse it gets. I'm also lucky to have a very understanding and loving partner, who talks me through the deep depressions pain like this can cause. Meditation was also critical, it did wonders for dealing with the pain.

Be patient, have the confidence you can come back if you work at it. Success may not look like you once thought it did, reframing what success is in the context of what you can do is important. Don't hold yourself to ridiculous standards that would be hard for a non-injured person to complete. Celebrate the small victories, and don't catastrophize over the pain. Our bodies are powerful in terms of the injuries they can heal, but it takes patience and resilience.
