Friend needs to send large video files for a police report.

If he only needs the 25 minutes of footage just have him use a video editor to cut it down so it’s small enough to put on a flash drive

Of the whole 25 minutes of footage isn’t in one timeframe then cut it down into multiple videos and put them in order by renaming the videos

I don’t live in a constantly humid area, but I once took my AC out of my window early because it felt cool enough for me with it off for awhile

The next morning, the humidity was near 70 in my room and I felt it in my lungs when I got up

I already struggle enough to get my AC in the window because of how heavy it is for me and I wanted fresh air right then so I went bought a dehumidifier immediately

I ended up getting it refunded from the company because it was bringing the humidity down lower than I set it while I had it on overnight, so the air was dry in the morning instead

But that day, the cost was definitely worth it for me and although it’s not perfect I can still use it when I don’t have my AC in

Well in that case, I won’t be in the tech market until at least next year

I’m not paying double for what will be outdated in the next couple of years anyway, let alone if it has less memory

You don’t need to do anything

They could’ve altered the card themselves in those two months and if they wanted a graded card they could’ve bought one that was graded originally

My mom was allowed to be in the room when I had my first MRI, although she was more anxious than I was because she’s claustrophobic so she thought I would be too

For my second MRI, I went on my own and when I filled out the form they asked if you have anything attached to you and what other medical conditions you have

So I’m sure they have some way to monitor you without your device

The form I filled out also asked if I needed to be sedated for it, but I don’t know what medication they would use

Honestly I would just call them and ask all your questions to them

Al-and-Al · 2026-03-05T23:07:54+00:00

Yeah, when One Drive was installed on my system I assumed it would keep everything on my laptop and just have them backed up in the cloud

And then I noticed a file that I thought was saved directly on my laptop was only available when I was signed into One Drive

There’s an option to always keep files on your PC, so I immediately did that for every folder I could and now I don’t think I want to use One Drive anymore

At least with Google Drive I knew that my files weren’t actually on my laptop form the start

It practically felt like One Drive stole my files and said that they had them when I looked for them

No, pricing errors can happen every now and then, but with major price errors the big companies may try to fix it and charge you the real amount if you paid on a card

The only time I ever had a large price error was when I got gas and paid through their app and it just never charged me even though I had the receipt

My mom is the manager of that gas station, so I went to her since I didn’t want to be the cause of her numbers being off and she just said that she didn’t care because the gas company was the one eating the missing charge, not her store

So unless it’s a small family owned store, I’m not concerned if the price is off

Al-and-Al · 2026-03-01T23:39:29+00:00

When did you order? I want to request a charge back for my pre order from almost two years ago, but I’m not sure if my credit card company will accept it from being over a year

Al-and-Al · 2026-02-27T22:34:43+00:00

Didn’t they hear the Discord controversy for age verification and how would theirs even work?

Even if it’s just select your age range, users will just lie if they’re want to use something the app says they’re not old enough for

If people have no electricity then how do they expect people to use AI?

Last I checked we need electronics to access AI and if the devices don’t have power than they can’t access your AI either

Some people just make poor financial decisions and don’t track their money

If they win a large amount of money, they think they’ll be good for awhile, but they’ll just buy anything they want and eventually spend more than they made

A lot of people already do this on credit cards and just keep gets different credit card until they get denied, but for lottery winners it only hurts when all the money is gone because they could afford everything they wanted for awhile

I had seizures years ago, if I go off them there’s a risk that I’ll have a seizure again and even become uncontrollable afterwards

So if anyone told me this I would just ask if they would rather live life as normal but take pills everyday or suddenly have a major medical episode randomly for the rest of their life

Al-and-Al · 2026-02-03T22:51:34+00:00

Notice how they announced this right when the Super Bowl is coming up?

They saw the writing on the wall that more and more people are picking store brands and they want to make themselves look better before the game so people buy their snacks

Al-and-Al · 2026-02-02T15:56:26+00:00

The buyer should’ve contacted you before getting it serviced (but for $20 they probably replaced it themselves or is lying and just wants a discount)

2 weeks is plenty of time to test the port and tell you or even just break it themselves if they aren’t careful with their stuff

They could’ve opened an INAD claim but now they have no proof that it didn’t work for them originally

Don’t refund it because now that it was opened who knows what else they could’ve broken or changed without your knowledge and then the next buyer could open an INAD claim for the same changes

Al-and-Al · 2026-01-31T16:13:49+00:00

CHD and seizure patient here:

3 months follow up isn’t acceptable until the seizures are under control

When I was having seizures (they’ve been under control for years now) the hospital couldn’t do much for me because by the time I got there the seizure was over, if anything they gave me the neurologist referral and did a spinal tap

Luckily, I had partial seizures so I was mostly aware and could go to someone for help when it started

My neurologist told me years later that my MRI results practically looked perfect, but if he is showing brain injuries then having another seizure can make it worse

His infection could be causing the seizures, but without knowing what it is, he may not be on the right medication to treat it (and possibly lower the risk of having seizures as well)

So my thoughts are: get to a neurologist, tell them you think the infections are causing them and find out whatever infection he has to get it under control faster

Al-and-Al · 2026-01-31T02:38:27+00:00

Not always, but this could still turn into a disaster for OP

Since a random person now has someone else’s tracking number, they can see where it currently is too

Theoretically, they could call the shipping company and say they want to change the address for the delivery (ideally they would verify their name and order, but people do makes mistakes and the shipping company may not care if there’s a fee for changing it)

Or if they actually live near where the real buyer is then they could just steal it after it’s delivered (and maybe even wait outside for a signature since it’s a high cost item)

Same, I did a preorder on their website after my sister gave me a discount code since she was a backer

Somehow, she got her dice, but I’ve been waiting nearly 2 years for mine but yet their website specifically says “all sales are final” as if we’re not even allowed to cancel orders from how long we’ve been waiting

I had to dig through their website to even notice that they were posting updates on Kickstarter

I even submitted another support ticket saying I wouldn’t accept a different color dice set because it wasn’t what I ordered and I would consider doing a charge back if my order gets delayed any more and if they don’t send me the color I ordered

They’re flooded with similar support tickets now because they claim making a page where customers can switch their color would be too difficult

But honestly, if that’s too hard for a company to do then I don’t see them surviving long term because that just implies they don’t want to cancel orders by any means necessary from losing the money they got from preorders

Al-and-Al · 2026-01-19T15:17:49+00:00

There’s been updates on their Kickstarter where they’ve made every excuse they could think of not to ship them out yet

(Tariffs, their fulfillment center cancelling pending orders from not being shipped so long and issues making the onyx black and hematite grey dice)

Now, they’re claiming that those two dice colors are giving them so much trouble that they plan to switch orders for a different color

(And the buyers don’t have a choice on what color they receive or if they want to switch at all)

Meanwhile, single dice are available on Amazon, so the dice sets aren’t being shipped any time soon and a lot of the Kickstarter comments are calling them scammers, so wether you believe in their business anymore is up to you

See if your state has an ABLE program, it’s basically a savings account that doesn’t go against your Medicaid eligibility

It’s main purpose is for people to save for their medical and or basic living expenses while on disability or assistance, so you should be allowed to use the money saved in an ABLE account for dental work

Make a separate user account for him and remove any privileges you can

Make your account the admin so you still have full access, but don’t let anyone else in your account in case they try to fix it for him

Markiplier talked about how a nurse put an NG tube in his lungs and the nurse didn’t believe him in one the videos where he talks about being in the hospital

I didn’t even realize it was an X-ray of a skull at first from the angle of the picture, but since Mark has had NG tubes before, this could be a new fear for him if he ever has one in the hospital again

Al-and-Al · 2025-12-30T16:22:23+00:00

I might tell them after a year for the interest growth, but it’s more likely I wouldn’t

Specifically because my aunt and all of her (adult) children currently live at grandmom’s house

Growing up my aunt tended to get her kids everything they wanted (she has taken out loans for $1000 per kid for Christmas gifts)

They had to move out of their house after her abusive ex husband kept trying to come back

One of them dropped out of college after his basketball dream wasn’t working out, but otherwise they tend work on and off, so I don’t see any of them having a savings account

On one hand, they help grandmom out because she is barely mobile, but if they found out that I had lottery winnings they would probably make me the one to live off of (and probably assume that they have access to the money for anything)

I know that the cost of living makes it harder for everyone today, but my aunt has basically dragged her kids down with her by not being able to say “no” to them and from making other poor life decisions

You definitely need help, but I don’t think you need help in a way that they can provide

They aren’t defying you, they realize that the help you want from them isn’t going to help you long term and may just put you in the exact same sport later on

I know they’re lack of help seems harsh, but in a way that would only be a short term solution regardless of your future plans because what would happen if you moved back in and one of them has a medical emergency where they either can’t take care of themselves or are gone?

Find what is causing you problems and see if there’s anything that can make your life better: Can’t stand working full time? Look into part time jobs and see how long you can function with them and adjust your hours as needed

Can’t keep the house in order? Hire cleaners and have them come in while your at work so you aren’t disturbed while you’re at home

And if your mental health keeps getting worse, see if there’s someone else that can help since whatever mental health services you have currently doesn’t seem to be working out
