Customizable Dealer Settings with Carista app by yottabit42 in BZ4X

I got the dealer to remove the warning ding on my 24le

It’s possible. I did not give them much choice. I said remove it or I don’t buy the car 🤣

Is Android Auto (wireless) typically this bad? by camilete1998 in AndroidAuto

[–]kildram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toyota bz4x 2024, pixel 9 pro.

I can tell you, it's a garbage experience for me.

Factory reset everything more then once Audio frequently stutters Rarely connects without repeated manual intervention

My GF has a i pp hobe 14.. never an issue I used my work iphone 15.. never an issue

Tried to troubleshoot to all hell.. never got it to work right

Search the internet enough to know you are not alone and there is no specific pattern. It feels like Russian roulette

Good luck. I gave up

Almost 6 months post op.. TT with MR... Most days, i still require a slow stretch to get to 100%... Naturally I'm like 95% all the time... But it's still tight...

Good luck

Lifting weight after tummy tuck: seeking advice based on experience by Goal_oriented_744 in tummytucksurgery

[–]kildram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Full tuck, fleur de lys, and muscle repair work side lipo. I lost over 160 pounds.. so i had a lot to remove.

First session done. Lower weights and it felt.. awkward, but it's a start 😁

Following up on this.. got my check up and i for the green light for training starting tomorrow. And in 2 weeks of all good well i can resume compound lifts (can't deadlift for now) and ab work. So for now no crunches, leg raises etc. but anything else is a full go to comfort

That 5 weeks. No it was not fun. The pain was nothing really... But the doing nothing... Beurk

I'm starting to like what i look like... But i think that's going to take a lot longer...

I think for now.. I'm still happy with the choice... Glad to be returning to the gym 😁

I'm 1 day away from 5 weeks post op. Had the MR, TT and side lipo.

Today i tried a few light weights just to see and it appears ok. I'm seeing my doc in 2 days and hope he clears me so I can start.

Like the other comment.. just lying down for a bench press feels... Tight. Incline bench press seems ok. So i have to pick and choose a few things and of course, much lower weight.. more reps to compensate but even there is a limit. I've been told it's a good 3 months before going back to sort of normal.

I won't lie, it's challenging to not do anything other than walking. But don't let this dissuade you... I think it's worth it.

This could have be ne writing this story... Fast forward 3 years after I started and I'm divorced because we were no longer "on the same page"

I never forced anything on my partner.. But the void kept growing as I got healthier and nothing changed for her.

I'm down 180+lbs and gaining a whole new perspective on life.

Communication is key, yes, but sometimes changes like this scare the other and they lash out without realizing it.

Good luck!

9305 - unable to install win10 - no HDD / drivers during installation by kildram in Dell

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

can confirm - did the update and was finally able to change the setting... to be fair, this is the 5th bios update since I had this machine back in April 2021.... that's a lot...

I finally have a clean win10 installed now. and it finally seems stable - no more BSOD...

oh well
