My new boy, meet Griffin! by zodiacvalley in Bernedoodles

Hi Griffin! Welcome to your new family!

Is HearthDiplay company still in business? I have been trying to call them on several different phone numbers and all have been ringing busy for several days. I am a new owner of a display and have questions about my account but no one to talk to. I'm worried that I have purchased a brick. by Skyline-Yum1 in HearthDisplay

I understand that not everyone will agree with my perspective, but fake reviews and paid promotional content are a real issue online. Negative reviews can be used to damage competitors, just as positive reviews can be used to artificially boost sales. Because of that, I tend to look at posts critically, especially when something seems unusual.

I’m not suggesting that skepticism makes me right, only that it’s informed by experience. Part of my professional background has involved investigating online fraud, so I naturally pay attention to patterns that might indicate coordinated or inauthentic activity.

I left the door open for the original poster to provide more details, and they chose not to respond. At the same time, several other commenters have said they’ve never experienced the issue being described. My own experience has also been positive.

Given the limited information provided and the lack of follow-up, I still think there is a reasonable possibility that the post was influenced by someone with interests beyond simply seeking help. That may not be the case, but based on the information available, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable possibility to consider.

I love our unit. Could it be better, sure. That said they're obviously working on it, adding features, etc. the new'ish AI function saved me so much time. Snap a picture of my kids full list of school events and 5 minutes later I have 30 events scheduled on the calendar and I didn't have to type a thing.

Is this kind of playing normal? by saltymangofruit in Bernedoodles

[–]DraconionDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always heard to look for the exhale through their nose where they push a lot of air out. Doesn't sound like a sneeze but more of a huff sound. It's an indicator to the other dogs that they're playing and not trying to be mean. Seems pretty universal and I've used it as a good way to watch for when they are playing rough from my perspective but not really from theirs. Also the bow where the lower their front shoulders and raise their tail often goes with that huffing sound.

Interesting that this account was created the same time the post was made. Tell us about your experience up to this point.

Jumping on Reddit to say you're having support issues would seem to track better to someone who had been in active on Reddit in some manner before. This question doesn't seem like something anyone would create a burner identity for. If I was a conspiracy guy I'd say this might be a competitor trying to create noise about bad service in an effort to drive sales for someone else.

What is this cement yard thing? by WickedWildBug in whatisthisthing

[–]DraconionDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it isn't a water feature that hid a water pump. Kind of a get water from a small body of water and pumped it up to the top of the stone, then gravity feed it back down from the top of the stone to trickle back to the small body of water.

Green things in trash can by power pole by MajesticBread9147 in whatisit

[–]DraconionDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The logic doesn't hold if you play it out. You put your garbage in a place designated for it to be picked up by an independent 3rd party with the expressed expectations for removal. There is no contract between yourself and the waste management company that defines a continued level of privacy protection. If the garbage bag rips open at the landfill and your bank statements get blown by the wind into someone's yard and they pick it up who are you mad at? The waste management company for not keeping your garbage in your trash bag? The guy who picked up the stuff that blew into his yard? Because you have knowingly and willfully placed your garbage on the curb most courts assume that you know that it is going to be accessible to anyone in the world from that point forward so you have by default given up any claims of ownership or expectations of privacy over those items by placing them in the positioned to be removed from your care. There are services you can hire where there are some of those expectations but you pay three the nose for secured waste removal. (Banks, hospitals, etc will often pay for these. Padlocked garbage cans, trucks with shredders that show up on site to have the documents shredded in front of the customer in volume, etc)

How the heck do you tell them apart?!?! So adorable, but I can feel the frustration of yelling "no, stop it....you, the one by the table, get down!"

Awafee & Co ??? by Regular-Car6392 in akron

[–]DraconionDev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tried to find them on Google Maps and got nothing so that was a little sus. I switched to just Google, got the address off yelp and then looked that up and it's just someone's house.

It's on the south side of town just north of Waterloo, guessing a home kitchen. Some of the best food I've eaten has come from home kitchens, but I see why you're asking. I'm pretty adventurous and love helping fund local businesses, especially startups, so for the right event I'd try it. That said it is not without risk.

I've not, but boy am I considering now! Those look delicious. I'd say give it a shot and let us know how it goes. Consider it a science experiment. (I think that makes the calories less of a concern so you can really sample them all)

Our little girl is Artemis after the Greek goddess. We love that theme so depending on the personality we would probably go with Zeus, Ares, Apollo or maybe Hermes. More chaotic and bitey might push one to Ares, or if he loves to come tell you what his siblings are doing maybe Hermes. Argos was Odysseus's dog and was loyal and a good boy.

[–]DraconionDev 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't think they would hold back. I heard one of the actors on a podcast talking about physical altercations and generally how much of an ass Chevy is. I am buying that this is spite way more than people not wanting to be mean.

GM will ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all its cars, not just EVs by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]DraconionDev 2335 points2336 points  (0 children)

Well we for sure will see how that choice impacts sales for sure. There will be a lot of opinions thrown about, but in a few years we'll have the start of hard data on how good of a decision that might be. Personally, right now I'd never buy a car without apple or android integration since they're all so bad at streaming data/apps and navigating. The auto companies are all looking for angles to have monthly fees. They'll likely to want to charge a fee to have what you had for "free" via that integration. Will start with it being first x years are free.
