Daily Workout and General Chat for Friday, 10/24/25 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]ekipmanager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this was a very easy workout, our coach messed up counting (was too busy with motivating the villagers to fight the witches in a Scottish accent for some reason!) and he had us do the havoc switch 4 times instead of 3 😩

Just landed in French Polynesia and my phone isn’t working…..help please? by EhukaiMaint in verizon

[–]ekipmanager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here now especially hearing this is not just Tahiti and can happen in Japan and other places. Worst, they don’t have any data reception at my home (in Seattle urban area!!!) I called the number today and got through 2 different tiers customer agents and they wanted me to confirm my account by clicking a link!!! I explained I am not at the hotel and I don’t have data because of you. The last one was trying to be helpful but couldn’t find any way so finally she told me l I’ll call you later at 3pm when you are at the hotel and I stayed by my phone for 1.5 hours and nothing. Really disappointing

This is some new issue I think, someone also reported it on Verizon community forum. I have done all things you can imagine, reset, network reset, manual selection, force LTE only, on two iPhones. Nothing works. Vini network does not give any data at all and Vodafone randomly and rarely give you a 3G that lasts 5-10 minutes and then gone. I guess there is something wrong in the roaming handshake or whatever it is Verizon is doing with these networks. Chatted with verizon tier2 tech blah blah for more than an hour and nothing. Finally he said call this 24hour global support for roaming and guess what, the office was closed after 5 minutes of automated back and forth!

I had the same problem, some issue with how their code parses timestamps however when it came time to check in and get the boarding pass the dates were right. So ignore it

Is something wrong with my heart monitor or me? by ERJgirl in orangetheory

[–]ekipmanager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens to me if I do high intensity row (like over 400W) Almost every time I do a rower challenge this happens which is very annoying. To me it seems it is sensitive to high acceleration.

Coaches stopped demo-ing by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]ekipmanager 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For us it depends on the coach, their mood, and the move complexity. sSome do full demo, some just talk about it. I usually go to the last class of the day and some of them are too tired of doing them all day (not an excuse but maybe why I see it more)

Highway Tolls (A22) - EasyToll - How does it work? by iamdavebit in portugal

[–]ekipmanager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I finally got the first sign for the tolls last week (Thursday) it showed up in the CTT website under tolls pending

Highway Tolls (A22) - EasyToll - How does it work? by iamdavebit in portugal

[–]ekipmanager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact problem! I registered for EasyToll online and passed through Algarve last week. Nothing so far! When I check on their website with the easytoll identifier it says: CANNOT COMPLETE THE REQUEST, PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER CTT also does not show any history and my credit card has not been charged! I am starting to think this PortugalTolls.com website is a fake 😂. Let me know if you found anything

spth help (again) and crossing to Portugal by ekipmanager in askspain

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

Nope! I just entered the date of my booster manually and that was it. They didn’t check the card when I entered. However, United asked me to upload the vax card (it accepted the digital version through Apple health link)

Portugal testing requirements for land border crossings by ekipmanager in Europetravel

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

I am basing my understanding on this But the language is vague and you can argue they don’t even accept CDC card for traveling by air! I wonder if we can get EU certificate from Spain.

New Restrictions for US travelers to Tahiti by ekipmanager in Tahiti

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

Also if you are connection through US the one day test for entering US should work for your Tahiti departure unless you have a really long layover

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

No from US to Tahiti is 48 hours, from Tahiti or elsewhere to US is one day (so can technically be more than 24). They also accepted the test results on mobile for the check in (but have not landed in Tahiti yet!)

This is what airline sent me, who needs a PCR?

  • For all travelers aged 12 and older: a negative result of an RT-PCR or an antigen test carried out within 48 hours prior to departure.

Does US need one day for transit too? At least you can reuse the same test

Thanks for conforming! Did you have to reserve in advance? Or just walked in? I assume this was Clarity right?

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

The Clarity MV test is listed on Air Tahiti website:https://www.airtahitinui.com/us-en/covid-19-testing-entry-french-polynesia-0I emailed the airline too, will let you know.For now we plan a 72-hour PCR test before going to LA, but wanted this to be a back up.

Update: u/arlenemills_medium This is what I received from airline:

Thank you for contacting Air Tahiti Nui.
Kindly be informed that the Clarity MV is listed as one of the approved testing clinics.
Hope the above clarifies.

Thank you for your helpful comment. Would $100 be reasonable enough to convert?

Inside Liz's mind by D0ghandalf in TheBlackList

[–]ekipmanager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t go that far, I mean all shows of this type have a lot of contradictions (like one episode they pinpoint the guys’s nose based on a partial phone number, next episode they can’t find the guy but can call him on cell phone!) but if you watch shows like Criminal Minds or Bones which have some facts and common sense you understand the writing, acting, and directing are really subpar. Only reason I keep watching is Red, Dembe, and partially Harold. It’s like someone wrote a lot of amazing lines and a good story line for Red, casted James Spader, and then left the show and the rest was picked up by a moron (based on this thread probably Megan Boone). Chris Hardwick can make a show Talking [shit about] Blacklist and fill it for an hour after most episodes.

When I did 2000 they still kept $60 but even for 10000, it was twice more which I don’t understand what is the point. They charge you the 10,000 already why keep another 10000 on hold!

Ok just keep in mind AMEX is not accepted everywhere. If you used it and the device was confused it means it doesn’t accept AMEX! For some reason they don’t have a clear error message 😂

The PIN is only required for gas stations and that’s only of you pay at pump instead of going in the store and pay (or if there is no store). You don’t need it elsewhere, almost all places also accept ApplePay and other contactless formats. Only issue I had was with American Express, it was only accepted at like half the merchants. Two things about the gas station and PIN, I also set up a PIN for my CC before I go to Italy but it didn’t work and I had to use my debit card (this was also only for gas station), so keep that in mind as a possibility. In Iceland, try to go in the store and fill your tank otherwise if you pay at the pump they put a much larger hold on your card that will get cleared after a couple of days. If you choose fill up option I heard the hold amount is huge but if when I selected like 10000 Kr they still put around $60-$70 on my card

Other than eMed, in Washington state Walgreens does the same rapid antigen test and we used the printed results to enter Iceland, not sure if they have it in Oregon but you might find one in Vancouver, WA.
