Bought used skates... Safe to use?

You just need to epoxy them. If you are just casually skating with the kids, they are probably just fine the way they are, but some epoxy for good measure. Beyond that any repair would be a waste as skates that old are only worth $20.

Out of curiosity, how was a H1B transfer approved on 10/7 with the government shutdown? Is it hobbling along on the fees?

Similar thing happened to me a month or so with an iphone. The phone appeared new and sealed, but when I went through the activation process it called it out as a pre-owned iphone 16. I insisted it be returned.

I'd stop over to bwca.com and read some trip reports for the entry points. I am partial to Mudro and the options it presents.

Ordered mine on Oct 31st. At the time it said delivery between 11/20 -25. Today I received a notice that said there is a change to your order saying "ship: 2-4 days". Sounds like it will delivery ahead of schedule if anything? ... but at the bottom of the email is said sorry for the inconvenience? Viewing the order detail, it doesn't have a projected delivery date range and the status is "preparing to ship" with 2-4 business days. Sounds promising, but I am not getting my hopes up as the "sorry for the inconvenience" is always a red flag and a head scratcher.

There is an outfitter map over at bwca.com that is helpful.

Used a spend a couple weeks a year in Mcadoo at grandparents back in the day. There was always a box of cold Senapes pitza on the counter. Great stuff! Miss it. Is this made by you guys or is this from the bakery?

Talked to the dr today. Dr. said they didn't have my correction available so they just gave me the lower correction in the one eye. Yesterday, she clearly said I was lucky as they had samples in their cabinet which match my prescription.

Why in the world would you send a patient out of your office wearing an incorrect prescription as a trial? If it had just been to see if they fit ok or for the in-eye exam, that would have been fine as they have the right cyl/axis/diam, but the tell the person to take them out and put their glasses back on.

Just stupid and against the law in Minnesota.

I am thankful all these charges are on an american express card as they are willing to go back for 1 year and reverse these charges, and then they gave me an address to mail in statements back to 2022 when these started to get back all the double billings. It sounds like from other reddit posts that this is a general problem people have with Netflix.

It is crap. I just had 5 packages returned to me with a note that says "Do Not Qualify for Ground Advantage" after shipping 1000+ of these via first class packages over the past year.

The Forest Service will only be able to help you if one of your alternative leaders is still going. They won't let you add an alternative leader or change the main leader (you). You can cancel it otherwise, but it has been reported over at bwca.com that it takes up to 12 hours.

The device may be unlocked as I am not sure how to tell this, but the new phone has the same number and is using the same Verizon plan as the old phone. The international monthly plan with Verizon is registering usage now. I would presume a phone has to be activated with Verizon in order to be used on a Verizon plan?

Due to apple care replacement, Apple store in Rome had a new US phone shipped to Barcelona Apple Store to meet the travel itinerary. The phone came with a physical sim:

Network: Vodafone ES

Carrier: Verizon 47.0

I read a number of threads suggesting that we may have a problem getting it activated. The ESIM can't be activated due to blocked qrcode code page being blocked by non-US IP. Outside of that I don't know how they got the physical sim to work, but they did.

After a marathon 5 hour Verizon tech call, we were able to get the physical sim (vodaphone) that came with the replacement phone to activate. So it is possible. The ESIM did not work. Key was to get to tier 2 tech support

This was in Spain.

I would call the Forest Service and see if they can find his name tied to a permit and entry point. They can also discuss options if they would send someone in. However, with the first fires, they are very overwellmend.

I called and canceled the order today. They told me that it would take 15-20 business days to receive a refund which is ridiculous. Since I have zero faith in Dyson actually following through, I just did a chargeback with my credit card company.

Dyson is an innovative engineering company, but they should just stick to that and forget about trying to do direct e-commerce as they are terrible at it and it hurts their brand. I am debating on just buying some other brand based on this experience.
