Hey! I’m looking for advice on my first double pedal.
I currently use a Tama Iron Cobra 600 single pedal and have a budget of around €300. I’m considering an Iron Cobra 600/900, Speed Cobra, or something else.
I’m a low-intermediate drummer and want something comfortable for learning double bass and building speed. I play on a Roland TD-17.
What would you recommend and why? Thanks! 🥁
Has anyone had this? Videos just stay stuck on uploading. Photos work fine. I tried different videos, Wi-Fi, mobile data, VPN, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Nothing helped.
My videos get to around 94-97%, then drop back to 80% and start going back and forth forever.
But here’s the weird part: the same phone, same internet and same video work perfectly on another Threads account. So I guess it’s something with my new account? I already reported it to Threads but got no response. Anyone had this and managed to fix it?
Hey guys, I can't decide on my next pair. I'm looking at the Vans MTE Crosspath XC or something like Salomon XT-Whisper, but I'm open to ideas.
My foot is 26.5 cm but I usually go for 27 cm in sneakers. My feet aren't super narrow, and I really need some room in the toe box because regular Vans always rub my pinky toe on long walks. I tried some on in the store and they felt fine, but it's hard to tell if they’ll hurt later.
My most comfortable shoes ever are the Asics Gel-Kayano 14, but I need something with more grip and that "gorpcore" aesthetic. Also, I live in a super hot climate, so they must be lightweight and breathable.
Anyone who owns these can recommend which one is better for not crushing my toes? Or maybe there's another model that feels like a Kayano but looks more outdoorsy? Thanks!
My Threads account was permanently banned out of nowhere. I appealed immediately, and just 2 hours later, I got a "final decision" saying I still don’t meet "Account Integrity" guidelines. No reason, no specific post mentioned. Just "go to court if you don't like it."
If I actually broke a rule with a post or a comment, why not just delete that specific content? Why kill the entire account?
I’ve tried EVERYTHING to get it back, and I’m sharing this so you can see how broken the system is:
Instagram "Report a Problem": Wrote to them twice. Total silence. You can't even track the status of these reports.
Meta Verified: I literally paid for the blue checkmark in Instagram to get "premium support." Total waste of money. They told me they only handle FB and IG, and have "zero visibility" or power over Threads.
Instagram Login Form: I found a form for people who can't log in. After a few hours, I got an automated reply saying: "Since you can actually log into Instagram, we won't help you. Go check the Help Center."
The Appeal Form: I found a specific form for suspended accounts. When I hit submit, it gave me an error saying the decision is "permanent and cannot be reversed."
It’s just so unfair. It was my cozy little blog with beautiful photos and personal stories. But the part that hurts the most is that I lost a very special story I wrote there. It was about my first emotions meeting Mike Shinoda in a döner shop in Frankfurt during the Linkin Park concert days 😭😭😭. I didn't save that text anywhere else, and now it's gone.
Meta won't even let me export my data. If your account is deactivated, the "download information" tool just doesn't work for you. There is no human to talk to, no email to write to.
I checked Twitter (X), and it’s full of people—even businesses—getting banned for nothing. It’s a disgrace for a multi-billion dollar corporation. AI is NOT a solution for support. If you use AI, you must have humans ready to fix its mistakes. This is just trash.
Has anyone actually managed to talk to a human at Threads? Or is my story lost forever?
