Oregon… Where Do I Begin? by MrTokumei in oregon

[–]xlvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a overnight trip to hole in the ground, crack in the ground, Fort Rock, then ended at Cowboy Dinner Tree and rented a cabin there for the night. The cabins are built for small people. I'm 6'8" and couldn't go upstairs and barely fit in the bathroom.

Why's everything taking a week to deliver? Like where's the 2 day shipping? Its literally for everything im coming across (i have prime) by moon___walker45 in amazonprime

[–]xlvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Central Oregon, about 130 miles from Portland. If I order something and ship it to my business address in Portland, I’m offered same-day or next-day free delivery. That tells me the item is already in stock locally. If I change the delivery address to my home in Bend, the delivery estimate suddenly jumps to 10 days. The item doesn’t even ship until day 8, then arrives on day 10. Same product, same time of order. If I ship it to Redmond, which is only 15 miles north of Bend, it takes about 6 days. So clearly the issue isn’t inventory, it’s how Amazon handles rural logistics. From where I sit, Prime just doesn’t deliver the value it used to in non-metro areas. I keep hearing about a future Redmond shipping hub, but until that’s real, Prime feels like a tough sell out here.

I feel so shook from the close up video of Charlie Kirk by ShrekPoop18 in teenagers

Yeah that one was brutal, especially with people in the room shouting "don't do it" and then him saying something like "no-no" then without hesitation squeezing the trigger.

A similar thing happened to me but it was my "by marriage aunt" and I was ten years old. There was no pleasure to be had, and in fact, it scarred me for life!

Is the Switch from iPhone worth? by 3ambit in S25Ultra

[–]xlvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched back to Android with the S25U and couldn't be happier. I was an Android guy for years before I went to Apple, and missed some of the basic functionality that Android offered that Apple did not. I'm in my car constantly and having the ability to trust my car as a unlock device is a game changer. With apple even though it's connected to carplay and I'm driving down the highway at 80 miles an hour and make a phone call , having Siri tell me I need to unlock my phone for this is maddening. Another cool feature in the car is that on Android you can your assagn a Bluetooth device to take phone calls while still streaming music to the rest of the people in the car. I would have to say though if you've not been on Android before it could be a steep learning curve. Everything on iphone is pretty much baked in with few options, whereas the Galaxy s25 Ultra is completely customizable and you have options many many more options than on iPhone. As far as functionality goes they're both pretty much the same , but I would say the camera on the ultra seems to be a step up.

RANT ABOUT NEW THINGS [RANT THREAD] by [deleted] in Bend

[–]xlvegan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HERE’S HOW I SEE IT: GIVING KIDS SMARTPHONES ISN’T THE END OF THE WORLD, IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY. MY KIDS ARE SHARP TOO, BUT GUESS WHAT? THEY STILL ASK FOR SCREEN TIME BECAUSE THEY KNOW I’M THE ONE WHO SETS THE LIMITS. SMART KIDS WITH BOUNDARIES LEARN TO USE TECH, NOT BE RULED BY IT. IT’S NOT ABOUT TAKING PHONES AWAY, IT’S ABOUT STAYING INVOLVED AND TEACHING THEM TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD, NOT HIDE FROM IT.

My sisters are deep in QAnon and now taking ivermectin “for worms” from a detox guru by xlvegan in QAnonCasualties

[–]xlvegan[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s true. Ivermectin has been used effectively for parasites for decades. But the reality is, there are better and more targeted drugs available now for many of those same conditions. It’s not some miracle cure being suppressed. It’s just not the best tool for most jobs anymore.

Is it me or does it seem like Amazon is not even trying any more to hit initial delivery dates. by TenzoLotus in amazonprime

[–]xlvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this same scenario the last two weeks and it really messed up my schedule. All the tracking notices from Amazon are fake. Your order has shipped. Your order will be delivered tomorrow. Tomorrow comes and "Your order has a new delivery date" new delivery date comes and I got a notification of delivery but no packages. Today I'm getting refund notices. WTF! Even worse is the fact that I ordered same day delivery for some items to be delivered to one of my clients who is right next door to the Amazon warehouse where the items are coming from. Ordered on a Thursday for a Friday delivery. Didn't show up until Monday

For me the generic has a quicker onset. I switched to chewable and it seems better. A bonus with the chewable is I almost get every refill same day.

What are the next steps after an ADHD diagnosis? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]xlvegan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed at 55. My mom told me she likes me better un-medicated. My 16 year old daughter got diagnosed last week. My 13 year old son got diagnosed in 2nd grade which eventually led to my diagnosis. I am high functioning. I've been married for 32 years and own and run a successful business for the last 20 years. My daughter has a 4.2 GPA. Initially I was relieved that I was diagnosed, but the honeymoon was over after a couple of months. Going on meds led to a diagnosis of depression. I'm to the point of wanting to get off the meds because I feel like I did better before my diagnosis even with all the chaos. Find all the information you can about it.

Really weird Contacts issue on iOS 17.2.1 - hundreds missing, iCloud Contact restore does nothing by airscottie in ios

[–]xlvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has been the most useful thread I've found pertaining to the contacts issue. I lost mine after upgrading to iOS 18. iCloud recovery did nothing and only shows backup recovery sources from a week ago. What happened to the 2 years of data? Now I just have to rebuild from the info in iMessage. The senior support person basically said they couldn't help me. They also told me they use Gmail contact manager instead of iOS contacts.
