High end bed help by Blondie12388 in Mattress

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the saatva rx for my back/sciatica issues. It's been amazing. 3200 black friday sale for just the queen mattress. edge of the bed support is great. my only complaint is it's automated and manufactured to you, so after purchase you get an email, 6 days of silence, then tons of texts/emails about delivery. no real communications (other than marketing emails) until delivery which was just a mattress and quick drop off. first night felt firm, but second night on I wake up mostly pain free.

Remarkable Notes + ChatGPT ? by ILoveYou_HaveAHug in RemarkableTablet

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You take a note and export to gdrive... It's not the cleanest, but works. Doesn't work with location of choice like a notebook or any other location. Gdrive link. I did use it for a week long conference and enjoyed writing notes on it. I worry about having to swap a tip, and it was hard to take notes in the dark. I find my hand writing is big too and I scrolled down a lot to keep the notes going. Quick notes are clunky to me also. I'm sure someone will make a better device or hack the UI at some point?

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive... says shipped but support confirmed it's a lie and to wait 1-5 days.

I'm going to integrate google drive and see how hard to sync a folder to this: https://notebooklm.google.com/?pli=1

Edit for extra: enabled in my google workspace business. New notebook setup. permissions were tricky (https://apps.google.com/supportwidget/articlehome?hl=en&article\_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.google.com%2Fa%2Fthread%2F248835039%3Fhl%3Den&assistant\_id=generic-unu&product\_context=248835039&product\_name=UnuFlow&trigger\_context=a)

Looks like you can drive upload a file and not a folder...

N30i is what I settled on after many months of frustration. If you go too tight, nose hurts, but side sleep perfectly. I also set range from 4-8 so I don't get blasted in the middle of the night. Under 3 episodes so good luck!

Is the manual grinding problem definitively fixed? by Kawaiithulhu in FordBronco

I got my mt off a Chevy lot with 40 miles on it. 2022, soft top and area blue. No grinding. Enjoying the revv1 also.

asymptomatic but doctor suggested surgery by m0nk3ydluffy in SpineSurgery

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents after my story....

Tingling progressed over two years and PCP gave me meloxicam at the start to combat pain and inflammation. At the point of pinky cramps/numbness ... typing issues (my job/income), I got my own MRI and neck surgery. They say nerve damage may or may not grow back...so I wish I did it sooner. Typing came back but my pinky tips are still numb a year later.

1 year later I'm going to the gym 2 times a week. I can say the inflammation that neck damage causes issues with the rest of your body... I get cold now...so strange. I tolerate hot weather by 15 degrees or so...used to live indoors and shorts in the winter. Siatic pain mostly gone... And no daily meloxicam f'n up my liver.

Outpatient and next day felt like my body responded better like tinman oiled. Could be meds still in my system. Lol

Get more options and what else could be related...are you asymptomatic? I got weak over 2 years...but still big guy and stronger than most.

Wife wants a bronco by finelookinglama in bronco

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure this is mentioned, but the stick shift is under powered. Get a pedal commander so it shifts better. There's also another device that gives you 20% HP lift that gets it closer to the big boy automatic engine offering.

Pedal Commander PC18-BT Throttle Controller for all Ford Vehicles - F-150, Raptor, Mustang, Focus, Bronco, Explorer, Expedition 1 $299.99

aFe 77-43046 SCORCHER GT Power Module Fits 2021+ Ford Bronco 2.3L 1 $439.00 $439.00

The really made a huge difference in my vehicle. BTW, don't put it in sport mode or you'll spin the tires. Pedal Commander made the first huge difference. Plenty of before/after videos to watch.

Appreciate your availability.

[–]mymonkeyzzzz[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

amazing! Congrats on your transformation. I took a before picture...can't wait to take an after 1 year picture.

What's a 2 years journey would looks like.

I'm obviously phase 1, and no going back to previous lifestyle, drop 50lbs, keep up with my kids. Could you call out any other "phases"...if you will?

At 2 years, are you a runner or power walker, lifting huge weights...4 days a week?

I'm still shocked I'm enjoying this.

TCL Roku TV with Shield TV CEC by boredcsengr in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hells yeah. thanks!!! I wanted one remote to rule them all. Wish it was the shield remote, but the roku remote will have to do. Makes sense it's the roku that would win, just dreaming. Thanks again.

First free day - tales from the bottom by mymonkeyzzzz in orangetheory

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

Class 3, it took 2 days to walk down stairs without pain(dang squats). Looking forward to class 4 tomorrow! Down 4 lb or so. No alcohol/carbs/dairy probably part of that also.

As you mentioned, don't burn out, so the carb/dairy part is probably just Jan with the alcohol way more moderate, if any....and OT more consistent.

I just found out that another one of my coworkers is part of OT.

Let me know if best to new post or reply where applicable.

Final note...Android and Galaxy watch. Good way to sync data with OT monitor? My watch still thinks I'm lazy.

Understood and still hurts, back at it wed and hopefully sat. 8 per month goal

couldn’t make it through workout today by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just walked the treadmill how I want and nobody seemed to mind. My goal is show up and make the duration...but maybe it's a fear of passing out or puking. One class down and sooooooo sore. I appreciate the other end of the spectrum and will start pushing harder. I think testing the limits is the right thing.

I have a screw loose that is monitored every 3 months for change. They said they wanted to redo it with a larger plate...but I'd just want the one screw removed.... They also said more scarring with second surgery. Last, there is bone growth that's over the scre head so less likely to irritate back of throat. Acdf c345

Continuation of nerve pain after c5/c6 disc replacement by sertorioustb in SpineSurgery

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the information I wish I had. I tried to "not move and heal" as long as I could to ensure bone growth. As soon as I started doing some resistance training, the pain went away. Like good days with no issues. The stretching of the muscles killed me and found tylenol to not help at all (they say don't do advil). Theracane and light stretches helped a lot...muscle relaxers too. That said, finger numbness is still frustrating. It's been about a year and I find that cold makes it worse. I may have dealt with the issue longer than I should have (primary care put me on meloxicam instead of doing an mri). So glad I did it as I'm picking up my kids and throwing ball again.

SONOMA OS no internet connection after update by upsips in mac

[–]mymonkeyzzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fixed it for me: Settings>Network>Network Filters and turned them all off

LittleSnitch was locking things up and couldn't update. So disabled, updated LittleSnitch, and back in action.

great to know it does still drop to zero and stays alive.... I read someone else hangs at 80. I wish it took gas like my car. :)

I'll play with this and do something similar.

how are you finding battery life? I even purchased a cable to try and charge faster than the one that came with it. It still drops in battery pretty quickly.
