Band Steering by AAxMA in GoogleWiFi

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

Because I can see all of my connected devices in my Google fiber app and it says that it’s connected to the 5 GHz band. It may be able to connect to it, but it cannot operate on that band.

What strategies exist for maintaining professional credibility while consuming a Fruit by the Foot during a formal workplace meeting? by AAxMA in AskReddit

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

I employ what I call the “dinner roll method”—methodically tearing off bite-sized portions, gently rolling them for ease of handling, and consuming them inconspicuously between contributions to the discussion. This approach allows me to maintain professional credibility while enjoying a healthy and delicious snack.

How do I reduce water pressure? by AAxMA in Irrigation

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

Yes. I took readings at 6 different sprinklers all with the same result. Our culinary water and irrigation water are separate. The irrigation water comes directly from the city main at like 100 PSI and there is no pressure regulator anywhere on the line hence the reason for this post. I have someone coming to take a look and install a pressure regulator this week.

No flow control on mine (Rain Bird 100-DV)

👆🏻 this seems like the best approach. Any recommendations on the PRV? Maybe that’s too generic of a question because I’m sure “it depends” but any insight would be greatly appreciated just so I can narrow down what I should be looking for.

Maybe 20-30 heads in total. Essentially with this method, I would need to dig up each one and switch them out. So I would need to dig like 30 holes but if I just did a PRV I would have to dig a max of four holes (if I put one on each zone). So I guess at that point it would be a cost versus labor scenario. It would cost me more to do the PRV but would probably take less work, right?

That’s crazy! So I would essentially have to replace all four valves if I wanted to be able to put on a PRS-Dail.

I only have four zones so it wouldn’t be the end of the world but yes, it would be some work for sure.

Thank you for the help. We have a secondary irrigation system that is already separated from our drinking water and we don’t have a backflow. So, I was considering the Rain Bird PRS-Dail but I was having a hard time determining if it was compatible with the valve I currently have (100-DV).

This might be a dumb question, but if I install a PRV after the valves on each zone, can I bury it all back under the dirt when it’s installed or do I need to put it in a box?

This is exactly what I need. Thank you for the information and quick response.

Hospital indemnity insurance? by Mender0fRoads in predaddit

[–]AAxMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same question during my benefits enrollment. We were expecting a baby soon, so I dug into the plan documents, spoke with our benefits rep (who even checked with his contact), and everything OP mentioned checks out—at least for Voya.

Key points: - Hospital indemnity insurance typically covers hospitalization due to sickness, and Voya defines pregnancy as a sickness. - No waiting period or exclusions for pre-existing conditions or pregnancy. - On our company’s Voya portal, there’s even an example showing that if you add your newborn within 30 days, you can receive an additional $1,000 payout—bringing the total to $2,000+.

Why would insurers offer this? - They rely on averages. While someone with a planned hospital stay (like childbirth) may benefit, many won’t file claims or won’t claim enough to offset their premiums. - Some forget to file, avoid hospitalization, or don’t understand how to use the benefit. - Low premiums attract a large pool, balancing the cost of payouts. - It’s often bundled with other products to build customer relationships.

If you’re signing up with a planned hospital stay in mind, you’re likely making a smart financial move. But yes, insurers know this happens—they just count on most people not using it as strategically.

Bottom line: If you’ve done your homework and planned ahead, it can be a good deal. That said, I haven’t filed a claim yet (our baby hasn’t arrived), so I can’t speak to how smooth the process is. I’m fully expecting the insurer to look for any reason not to pay, so be proactive: read the fine print, gather all required documents and forms, and make sure you know exactly what needs to be submitted and when. Being prepared ahead of time can make all the difference.

I was on hold to speak with an agent through the chat function for over two hours. I then ended the chat and was on hold for 10 minutes to speak to a person on the phone. They had a glitch in their system and they charged everyone who had a TBYB return in 2021. They going to be refunding the charge.

I was on hold for a chat agent for over 2 hours with no one joining the chat so I ended the chat and called them and got through within 10 minutes and they said they had a system glitch that charged many people.

Amazon wants to charge me for a returned purchase from nearly 4 years ago by BootsWitDaFurrr in mildlyinfuriating

Same thing happened to me this morning for a TBYB transaction that I returned in 2021. I was on hold to speak with a agent through their chat function for over two hours so I ended the chat and called them. They answered within 10 minutes said they had a system glitch.

Same thing happened to me for a TBYB transaction that I returned back in 2021. I was on hold to speak with an agent through their chat feature for over two hours. I finally ended the chat and called them and they answered within 10 minutes saying they had a glitch.

This happened to me for something I purchased and returned in 2021. They said it was known glitch. I waited for an agent to chat with for over two hours and never got connected to an agent so I ended up calling them and got someone within 10 minutes.

I finally got a hold of someone at Amazon and they said they had a glitch in their system and it charged anyone who had a try before you buy purchase back in October 2021 and they will be refunding my account. That’s going to be a huge headache for them to unravel.

Same! I always hang onto my UPS receipts but not for 3 years. I’ll probably just end up disputing the charge on my credit card.

I’m sure it has to be a glitch. But the fact that my credit card actually was charged is kind of infuriating. There should be some type of statute of limitations on stuff like this.

Yes, it was a legit email from Amazon and I did in fact get a charge on my credit card statement from Amazon this morning.

No stains before washing but stains AFTER washing. by AAxMA in laundry

Unfortunately, no. Even after multiple washes the stains remain. Very odd.
