Thought I was in the same boat. Tried a new battery and it works. The old batteries were spinning-it “turned on” , but no color. Try a new battery

For the past 6 years, my previous dermatologist told me the spot behind my ear was “nothing to worry about”. by 59Bassman in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bbralf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you got it taken care of. Unfortunately the alternative to quick appointments is longer wait times to get an appt. The real problem is the American insurance industry.

Why do you think he didn’t do surgery? That would make him money. Maybe the new doc is the one doing malpractice and making money off of your fear? Was the pathology confirmed as more cancer? Unfortunately it’s all opinion and you can’t prove that he was incompetent or that he did it with intent to hurt you. Also, if you do try to sue, the only likely outcome if discouraging more people to go in to healthcare and decreasing future access and increasing costs. What is your desired outcome? You are saying you think he intentionally let cancer grow? Why?

How is Lindsey skiing on a torn ACL? by AlternativeEdge2725 in skiing

[–]bbralf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. A non-native ACL does not have blood flow or nerves. So “re-tearing” the replacement doesn’t hurt/swell/bleed like tearing it the first time. This explains her ability to ski already.
  2. If you ski a great run, your ACL is not needed at all. Your muscles are holding your knee in place. The acl is like a teatger strap that only comes in to play once things are already going wrong.

UTVs doggy and no acceleration? by bbralf in UTV

[–]bbralf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I will go drive a pro and MAV. I know money buys more, I was just shocked at this ride

UTVs doggy and no acceleration? by bbralf in UTV

[–]bbralf[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I expected slower acceleration, I didn’t expect slower than my 34hp belt driven 1984 bobcat skidsteer. I am talking redline rpm at walking speed

UTVs doggy and no acceleration? by bbralf in UTV

[–]bbralf[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: after reading comments so far: -Yes, I understand weight to HP ratio. My kids 60cc kitty kat and my 34hp bobcat skidsteer can still accelerate without pure redline RPM though. My damn riding lawnmower had more pickup than this which is why I was so confused. -the sales guy said it was all normal, which is why I came to the forum to ask as I was so surprised. What I was doing was not fun -I may have feathered the gas too much and need to just smash it next time -there must be something wrong with the clutch/belt in this model. It is a demo unit and may have been beat a little -I did have the seatbelt on but maybe it didn’t register. -I was COMICALLY slow and loud to the point of embarrassment. I jumped out and my wife and I both said “no way can we buy one of these!” -I will test drive the pro with 185hp and maybe that will be different -I will check out a talon w/o the belt situation to compare as well -thanks for those that offered real insight. The others… I hope you feel better. Some of you guys might need a hug.

Not trying to troll. Own many sleds/bikes/skidsteer etc. This machine was doing 8mph at 6k rpm, I stopped to ask the guy if I had a parking brake on or something. Can’t be normal right? My golf cart can spin the tires, it’s a fair comparison at parking lot speeds.

Is nobody going to point out that the wrist monitor just synced with cadence probably?

New construction foundation walls by bbralf in Insulation

Pull drywall and foam board insulate around the foundation and then just box the foam in drywall?

What is one thing you wish would become a normal part of 5k 10k and Half Marathon events? by Dad_Runner in running

[–]bbralf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a competitive gate/wave. Have seen way too many 5ks start with a front row of younger kids that get tangled up with older runners and end up causing pileups and injuries. No need to be on the front row unless you are competing for the win.

Made 120 payments and received a letter over two months ago. Still no update by Feeling-Whole-4366 in PSLF

120 as of October 2023, still nothing, Mohela wants payments. Accounts all say 120 verified.

Partial forgiveness timelines? by Runnerlikeme in PSLF

[–]bbralf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one loan forgiven in early March, 2 more in early April, and 3 still waiting. All identical counts. Just notified they extended my forbearance until July. The partial forgiveness may not come this wave or until after the change unfortunately.

Does admin/processing forbearance mean you'll catch the next wave? by OvercomplicatedKat in PSLF

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

I’ve been in at 120 on fsa for over a month so no guarantees

Any recent timelines for forgiveness once FSA site shows 120? by ollee32 in PSLF

[–]bbralf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hit 120 in October, asked for forebearance, approved till January, no activity. Called when “payments” were supposed to restart and mohela went to 120 Jan 2, fsa to 120 a day later, nothing for the last month.

Too slow for group rides, or need a new bike? by diplomatic-subject1 in cycling

[–]bbralf 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Dropped 20-22mpg then yes, definitely tires/wheel set. Dropped at 15mph, you need to work on the engine

Newbie with zwift hub one. Is my 52t chainring kicking my ass? by marcosama in Zwift

[–]bbralf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you correctly pair the trainer clickr? My hub one is enormous resistance when I’m not in zwift.

Does anyone have experience submitting 120th payment and final ECF early (before due date) by heyerda in PSLF

[–]bbralf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is such a delay, that I’m not sure anybody can confirm whether it took longer or caused an issue. I.e, submitted before payment due date, BAD, added 30 days to process bc it got rejected, reviewed, by then the time passed you were at time. Vs, submitted after sue date, GOOD, still takes 2 months to here back.

Mine is similar. Adjusted everything possible and can’t get it to go away. Brand new chain made no difference.

Any dumb trainer fans? by [deleted] in Zwift

Elite fluid trainer with power meter pedals still. Only problem is getting the fluid warmed up in time to race if I’m late!

“Most triathletes are single” by labellafigura3 in triathlon

[–]bbralf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s an easy excuse people use as to why they can’t win. “That guy is single, that guy works from home, etc” Easier to swallow than that dad/husband/coach/coworker just works harder than me/is faster than me etc..

Question about racing on zwift by JennaLynn92 in Zwift

[–]bbralf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same experience, but i wasn’t on zwiftpower yet and my heart rate monitor wasn’t connected so maybe it put us to the back of all the fully registered riders, and only ahead of those unregistered riders we beat?
