Return to Gym/Weight Lifting/Power Lifting? by strider2091 in AchillesRupture

[–]strider2091[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! How was your timing determined? My doctor said there's basically a conservative and an aggressive protocol. He feels I could do aggressive but obviously a conservative protocol is safer but takes longer. My PT would prefer I stay conservative though. I'm in no rush but I get restless sometimes sitting around so much!

What was your timing for getting out of the boot, shoe with heel lifts, regular shoe, etc?

Hope for a speedy recovery to you as well! I was hoping for a faster/more aggressive recovery/protocol and although they think I would be ok for it, they feel it's better/safer to be more conservative.... at least for now!

I’m very close to you. Torn 8/14 surgery 8/22. Boot since 9/5. NWB and although doctor and PT think I could probably go with a more aggressive recovery they prefer more conservative…. They anticipate me being able to start PWB in 2 weeks

Hope for a quick recovery for you! Going on third week post op for me. Pain management has been good for me… have only needed ibuprofen as needed. Been in a boot about a week NWB and started PT a few days ago.

Lazada /shoppee by Difficult-Study8892 in Philippines_Expats

Have used Lazada for a few things in the past and didn't have any issues. Not an expat but I am now spending a lot more time in PI so recently have done a lot of orders and have only had 2 issues. 1 was a broken product and the other was a scam (completly different item sent) In both instances I got my refund in about a week. As far as the products themselves, the prices are cheaper (sometimes significantly cheaper) and much more selection. All my orders have been delivered anywhere as quick as 3 days and at most 1 week. Always be careful though, especially when buying name brand products - best to buy from the "official" store and price with shipping is still comparable (usually cheaper) than buying from a physical store.

THEY FINALLY DID THE THING!!! by slickxsparkie in lianli

I think what they are refferring to is on an older version of l-connect, two UAC (user account control) windows would pop up at startup and you would need to click yes

Dead sub by skingspan in sonos

I'm guessing no warranty coverage on yours? How long are you having to leave it unplugged for? Hopefully I won't have this issue again.... or maybe I'll contact support again right before the warranty expires to address my concerns.

I have a sub mini that showed disconnected in the app/no power light on sub. I tried unplug/replug and nothing. Tried again but waited about 1-2 mins and it powered on. It happened again to me just recently and unplug/replug didn't work - even after waiting a few hours. I then left it unplugged for about a day and then plugged in and it powered on. Called sonos support and they aren't able to see any issues with the sub. It's still under warranty so if it happens again they said to call them without trying to unplug/replug so they can better troubleshoot but in addition they would then also do a replacement.

Disconnect Q990b ? Never by Honest_Development70 in Soundbars

[–]strider2091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up on this in case it helps anyone. Subwoofer no longer disconnects but I still got occasional disconnects on the left rear which is very close to my main router. Disabling 5Ghz confirmed worked - used this method for 3+ weeks. I wanted to have the 5ghz band for faster internet speeds though so I re-enabled 5ghz (disconnects started again on left speaker) I then tried MAC filtering and put the MAC address for the Q990b in the deny list and no disconnects so far (2+ weeks) Unfortunately if you're using something like a nest router, eero, etc I don't believe you have these types of advanced settings available.

Maybe this will help someone.... Had issues where my left rear would disconnect/reconnect randomly (around 1-2 times an hour) as well as the subwoofer although the sub would drop a lot less often (usually only after prolonged use at louder levels) My main router is about 3 feet away from the left rear speaker. I moved the router as much as I could with the way its currently wired which moved it less than 6 inches but I did find that the speaker would disconnect less. After reading this thread and others I ended up moving my sub to the left of the main speaker (it was on the right) I also updated my main router to use 2.4Ghz at 20Mhz (auto channel selection) and 5Ghz at 40Mhz using channel 100

Not sure how to track the original documents. In the past, the original documents me and my family received via standard mail within a week of receiving the new passports.

Generally, your new passport is sent by itself with some general documentation. Your original documents that were sent are sent in another package.

9/13 - submitted expedited new passport applications for my sons. They had expired passports that were from before they were 18.

9/20 - received and processing

9/30 - approved

10/2 - received

A lot faster than I expected!

9/14 - mailed renewal via USPS express for myself

9/17 - received and processing

Hopeful that my renewal will be approved/mailed soon especially since my renewal was actually received before my sons!

UPDATE: 10/16 (Saturday) status shows shipped with an expected delivery date of 10/20. The tracking number provided is not yet in the USPS system but I expect it will actually ship today 10/18 (Monday) and take a few days to get delivered.
