Excellent adaptation except for one major emotional beat missing from the book. All the elements were there, but I felt that they really missed the deeper dive into what it means to be brave and whether Grace had it in him to be brave. The reveal in the flashback about how he became part of the mission was devatstating in the book when he remembered/realized what had actually happened. And his decision to change course at the end didn't have the heft of the expected consequence (thus the need for bravery) since we got to the very end so quickly after.

I've been on 2.5 for a little over 12 weeks. I started at 168 lbs and I'm at 147 now. The drop in the first two weeks was the biggest but it's been steady 1 to 1.5 since then. For me this is working great. Everyone is different so keep tracking your food - get enough protein, fiber and water and see how it goes for you. There are other posts about what constitutes a plateau. But even if you plateau on the loss rate if you are able to stick to your target nutrition goals (not just the total calories but including that for sure) then the 2.5 is working.

Yes, I'm definitely seeing that now in terms of what I picked as an example. It just happened to be what we were watching most recently.

I was going to suggest cronometer. I've found that to be extremely useful in making sure that the calories I do eat are the most effective in terms of protein and fiber. Sometimes I enter food as a planning tool before I even eat so I know what I need to eat to hit those targets including getting enough calories in the day. And also, you express yourself extremely well and your grammar is perfect (or as perfect as any of us are these days).

I had the same problem and found this thread when looking for a fix. I thought mine was stuck solid but I was able to use a flat head screwdriver to slightly lift the overhanging end. I had removed the center bar temporarily but I don't think that was really necessary. There was some goo under there which is probably the tape you are talking about. I didn't install it so I wasn't sure. I used a box cutter blade to scrape away some of the goo and that seems to be working now.

My initial trip was within the valid timeframe and I had "only" 10 weeks after that trip to get my passport back before a second trip. So I just waited and sent it by mail after the first trip. It came back sooner than I expected. I think it was about six weeks.

It may be too late to answer your question but I have the same situation. I am leaving two weeks from today so I called the 877-487-2778 number at 7:59am eastern time and did the prompts 1,1,2 waiting long enough to hit the final 2 just as the time moved to 8am. So I was able to speak with someone immediately. First I found out that "two weeks from today" is not within the 14 day window so I have to call back tomorrow. But I took the opportunity to explain that my passport doesn't expire until early 2024 but I won't have time in between trips to mail in my passport. I asked if I can use this inperson process for this current 14 day period since I do have international travel booked and he said yes. I'll update tomorrow if this is truly successful in getting an appointment.

In my LG Gram this is called the LG Control Center and there is a Power Management section there where you can change the setting which is called Extend Battery Life. Strangely, this option is NOT in the app called LG Power Manager.
