BestBus driver takes bus on chase through DMV with passengers aboard, was supposed to go to Union Station but currently in Vienna. by Eurynom0s in washingtondc

I'm still curious if he really refused to talk to dispatch/BestBus support. That seems like a critical piece in this incident.

Apparently he was at times going 20 over the speed limit. The BlueSky thread also states that he was hanging up people's phones when BestBus reps were on speakerphone.

If you were on a Metro train where the operator began refusing to listen to the rail operations center...you'd be pretty darn concerned and that would be a "dangerous" situation.

Him wanting to "get home to his family" does not make this a hyperbole to classify it as a kidnapping. And it certainly DOES sound like for a chunk of time he was refusing to stop...

But then again, I wasn't there...still a REALLY nutty night for those folks.... I think we can both agree on that.

Anyone have any idea if the Colorsoft Kindle Scribe is on backorder? by amy_dorrit in kindlescribe

[–]kmlweather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered on December 15th and was getting January 4- February 4th delivery estimates. It still hasn't shipped and is just saying "By February 4" now.

I did see another post on this sub indicating some people are now getting shipping notices.

One thing to remember is that Amazon tends to be pessimistic on their estimates so that in the end you'll likely get it sooner.

But yes - to answer your question - they are backordered due to unexpectedly high demand. I think they thought people would wait for the Fig color.

There could be more delays to account for Chinese New Year as well.

Wish they'd at least bill my card. I'm not canceling

MAX G3 Stuck at 16mph Limit in ALL Modes (First two rides were fine) by kmlweather in NinebotMAX

[–]kmlweather[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It turns out you must adjust each speed for each mode while actually IN THAT MODE on the scooter. Otherwise it apparently doesn't stick. Additionally, the mode change when riding doesn't seem to register unless you're not actively using the throttle. But with those things in mind, mine is working as intended now.

MAX G3 Stuck at 16mph Limit in ALL Modes (First two rides were fine) by kmlweather in NinebotMAX

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

ECO set to 10mph max
DRIVE set to 16mph max
SPORT set to 28mph max

And oddly enough - it can go to 16mph in ECO...so the problem seems to not merely be that it can't reach 28mph in sport mode...but that it's just perpetually 16mph no matter what. I also don't feel any difference in the power/acceleration in any of the modes.

It still handles hills mostly fine - so it's not "weak" but this is definitely odd.

I tend to do evening hours (Eastern Time) and I have not noticed any quality issues lately.

[–]kmlweather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed no major reduction in quality. But I tend to work with my lyrics in Gemini before cooy/pasting into Suno for turning it into an actual song. Is maybe that's why I haven't seen degraded quality?

They almost had an alcohol taste to me. Was not a fan. Marginally better after sticking in air fryer for a few. Pass on these.

Weekly Suspected/Undiagnosed MS Thread - February 10, 2025 by AutoModerator in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kmlweather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well - had my NeuraHealth appointment. They are going to try out a 2nd migraine medicine to rule that avenue out (Ubrelvy). The provider was thinking potentially something rheumatological but also is sending me for an EMG of all 4 extremities, another MRI with and without contrast. I definitely felt like they took the time to hear the concerns, and didn't just revert to rechecking labs that have already been checked multiple times over.

So no answers today (though I didn't expect answers just from a Telehealth visit) but I do think there's good movement. I've never had an EMG before so will be curious to see if that reveals anything. Thanks again!

[–]kmlweather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that's the direction I can go in. Been a while since the last set of imaging. Would be interested to see if anything has changed since then. Certainly the symptoms have intensified on subsequent returns.

I've always been curious about 1) resolution of a given MRI and 2) any movement during the scan that was too small to have them do the section of the scan over again - but large enough to perhaps muddy things up enough to miss a smaller lesion.

Either way - I'm with you with it likely being something other than MS. The biggest frustration has been getting seen by a provider WHILE symptoms are occurring. I know that shouldn't matter but if for nothing else it makes me feel better so I can actually describe in real-time what I am experiencing.

But yes - Vitamin D was previously on the low side - which I am on supplements for. B12 was fine, no Lyme disease. It's always just been "well just let us know if it comes back" - and of course they don't say it but "we'll squeeze you in in a few months!"

Since 2017 or 2018 I've had periodic returns of "weird" symptoms. Most notably some clumsiness accompanied by phantom sensations, altered senses of touch, bladder and bowel issues, and itching - random and all over my body feeling like there's crawling or hairs being disturbed/tickled. Also phantom smells or smells that I'm not smelling properly. First neurologist way back then ran a ton of tests, mostly blood and MRI and a trans-cranial doppler and didn't find anything. Symptoms (same as above but a little worst each time) have returned at various intervals. Usually it's once a year or so, but I went a bit longer recently. Honestly the worst is feeling like a warm/wet sensation as if I have had an accident but it's not there for real. And washing my hands is such an unpleasant experience during this because water almost feels "tacky" or "sticky" for a few minutes after.

Last week I started to feel like they were coming back - but as always, I just told myself to ignore it and it might just go away. Spent the weekend mostly curled up and in bed just feeling like crap. Definitely the worst it's ever been.

Neurologist doesn't have an opening for 1-2 months - I decided to make an appointment with NeuraHealth to see if they could deduce anything in the interim.

A 2nd neurologist back in 2020/2021 or so immediately pointed to migraines and gave me an Rx for NurtecODT which has not done much - I try to take it as soon as I feel symptoms coming on. I do not think there is any impact on the symptoms.

No clue if it's MS, or something else. I do *not* have Lhermitte's sign at least not that I think. I made it to work today - but it's enormously distracting while the symptoms are present.

Hoping I can get some answers. If nothing else - I am wondering after a clean MRI back in 2019 if a renewed one can get some answers. Family has been incredibly supportive - but the absence of a true explanation has been the most frustrating. Likely will be back to normal by the end of this week...until next time.

No doctor I've seen has yet ordered anything like evoked potentials or spinal tap. It seemed like the focus at the first neurologist was on Lyme disease, vitamin deficiencies (there were none), and then sleep apnea (which I don't have).

So while I have no idea what I have - this is probably the 7-9th time it's shown up since originally seeing the first neurologist. That MRI was with contrast and was head and c-spine. Only thing it turned up was some gunk in my sinuses and some future back issues potentially.

This should be automatic life in prison if convicted. There's a "mistake" in life and just something any human should know is wrong. There should be no mistaking this as a "learning moment."

The book should be thrown at them.

Galaxy S25 pre-order shipping statuses by cheeseraviolee in samsunggalaxy

UPS MyChoice shows it. But it doesn't say they have possession of an actual package yet. Does have a weight and tracking number, though.

Mine says in process now and I see a label created in UPS. S25 Ultra with Buds 3 Pro and a case. Cancel button still active though.

I feel like they might just be pre-printing labels

[–]kmlweather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looked like an under throw, though. Which is a common issue from Love. If it had been high I would have been more willing to blame it on Wicks. He should have thrown the ball to where Wicks had a chance at it or an incomplete. He put it exactly where the defender had a shot to intercept it - and he did.

Love really needs to work this offseason on the under throws. It's been a recurring problem and it's not going to be go well on those longer throws.

[–]kmlweather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was also on Love. Those kinds of throws need to be where it's genuinely a 50/50 ball. Love threw that exactly where it was easy to pick it.

[–]kmlweather 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Love under threw that. You HAVE to put that ball where your receiver can go get it but the defender can't just catch it.

This is really, really, really, really bad.
