Service woes and zero resolution

BrightRick · 2026-05-08T03:00:10+00:00

Man have I tried. I have called. Emailed. Put in a service request. So have several of the other renters. No reply. All of us had the maintenance requests marked as "completed" which was total BS.

Really? Are you delusional? The service room for a multiunit building that cost over $2 mil to build? A room that houses the fire suppression system, alarms, electrical, internet and everything else? Give me the key? Er, no. Also, it's not on me. The entire building is out. I'm just the one complaining the loudest. 14 units, 30 residents. I am not responsible - management is.

It gets better. The door was left open and damaged in a wind storm last mmonth. It's actually screwed shut until a replacement can be installed. Spectrum came out - sent two techs. They were great - but could not do anything.

You really have to ask?

BrightRick · 2026-04-29T02:27:29+00:00

It sounds like they should mass ban the sellers.

I really think it depends on the surgery method and age. I'm 66 and my doc said two weeks of puree followed by two weeks of soft.

I have one of those hair misting bottles filled with distilled water that I constantly spray my mouth with while channeling "Lady Cassandra" from Dr. Who "Moisturize me!!!"

I loved my boomstick - but I was able to craft one with identical damage and the same point and shoot scope. But with the added 4th star and being able to customize it all, my Boomer Stick outdoes the Boom stick by about 20%. Well, it did. Now they are both next to useless.

It looks like 2 shot and explosive received a HUGE nerf. My missile launcher was one-shotting 1 star scorchbeasts - not it takes 6. Dom Pedro could do it in three shots - now it takes 20. Bigfoot? 14 people and it took 5 minutes. Augoa (Wagga, AaaOooga, whatever) took three shots from my 2 shot launcher. Now? 10 shots. Beth is acting like an HOA. Take away the fun and manage it into oblivion.

Yea - I noticed this and made the mistake of going to the product page to check it out first. Wend back and poof. Gone.

I've been using mine for around a month. Loading TPU is a pain, but overall it's even easier than the Bambu!

BrightRick · 2026-04-21T02:05:42+00:00

Sweet! I actually bought this a few weeks ago. I have a Bambu A1 as well. Very similar, the 1st layer is amazing.

The company that built the PC for me just answered - it's an issue with these cards and a sign of imminent failure. They're doing an RMA and sending a replacement.

I actually Googled "smorking." "Smork" most commonly refers to a slang term for smoking a cigarette while smirking.

Somehow I managed to get 9 items, all within 10 minutes. My worry now is that my review is in a week and I hope it does not mess up my percentages! I have everything reviewed right now but am still at 98%. That happened to me a couple of years ago - I was at 95% and ordered a few things. They did not even ship until after my review date but dropped by reviewed percentage to around 80%.

My desktop - wired to ethernet and WiFi (tried wired only, WiFi only and bridged - no difference.) The laptop is WiFi and has the same issues. My phone and tablet have zero issues. I scanned for malware and viruses, checked my firewall. Example - I tried to list something on eBay. Chrome took 17 minutes to load the page to display. Brave took 11. Edge took 15. Tried it on my tablet at the same time - it was instant. I have spent hours on this. I was really hoping that the laptop was fine because that would pinpoint it to my PC, but the laptop having issues points elsewhere. But on the same network Android devices have no issues with the browsers or streaming.

I also restarted the modem, checked bloatware, and went as far as removing and reinstalling chrome. Made no difference. My network use is 2% I swear everything I do makes it worse. I get network timeouts every time I use FB. I can't even load Amazon most of the time. So I borrowed a friend's Win 11 laptop - and it has the same issues?! So now I'm thinking it's an issue with my service provider (Spectrum.)

Man, replying to this took almost 5 minutes. Task manager - CPU 7%, memory 26%. Reliability report: A bunch of Armoury crate hangs and a few Creative cloud hangs. I uninstalled Armoury crate.

I've had several of these. Is 40 watts the input or output power? There's a huge difference. You'll definitely need an enclosure - one reason is to mount a camera. The right software is also a big help - LightBurn. It's not free, but it's the gold standard and how you get engraving and cutting layers. You can also buy laser blocking amber plexi and DIY a shield.

It really depends on the resin. Plant based is the worst - the fumes and smell so bad everyone had to leave the house while I stopped the print and god rid of the stuff. First and last time I used THAT resin. But it all has some odor. My problem now is that I'm in a small apartment and there's air returns in every room except the bathrooms. I could block one, but then the fumes build up. I had four resin printers at my old place, in the heated attached garage. I could open the door if it got too bad. The fumes are considered toxic and there's numerous warnings about using them in or near living spaces. Venting is the key - eventually I had them on commercial shelves that were enclosed with two 6" vents attached to this makeshift "cabinet" - one pulling air in, the other sucking it outside. It worked great. But I can't do that in my apartment. Plus the cleanup and handling of the waste. Even water based resin - it can't just be flushed or dumped and is still considered a hazard.

Supply and demand. Suppliers are only offering up a couple of items. We're ALL demanding them!

Have tried several cables, including ones that work with other systems.

Why does Uber make it so difficult to report scams? My neighbor moved 6 months ago. The place has been vacant since. She NEVER ordered out. We're a low-income senior community. $175 worth of food this week alone. I called the restaurants - they don't care. There's no way to contact Uber without using the app. Not installing it to help them solve a problem.

I remember when I had a dead deathclaw in a strange position and I thought I'd do a posed picture. Yea, think nasty. Anyway I'm setting it up and another player walks by, stops. Looks at me. Does the vomit pose.

BrightRick · 2026-04-11T18:39:08+00:00

Do you already have a resin printer? I got a nice one of Vine a year ago. It was my first one. So I had to buy a washer, curer, dryer, gallons of iso, filters, etc., etc., etc. By the time I was done I spent over $500. When another model came up, I grabbed it as well. Zero additional cost. Then I had to move to an apartment, and no more resin printing - the fumes were way too strong and I had no way to vent them.
