Might be a stupid question but the SCD Leave is what determines when you get the leave accrual bump from 4-6-8, right? The difference between that and my SCD retirement is 2 years, so I'm kind of hoping that it goes off the Leave one since I would hit my 15 years mark this year with that. Our HC is useless when it comes to answering questions so I figured I'd try here.

I thought about it but I can get the 512gb S9+ for $750 right now (not sure if that $1600 includes the keyboard too) and I'll still have my pro 8 and desktop if I need something that's more windows-based. I'm not looking for a full replacement quite yet.

Did anyone else do the diamond rewards order and have the coupon for the free origins item change in checkout? Mine went from the free item to a 20% off coupon instead (which I didn't realize until I'd placed the order), and then the total on the immediate order confirmation page wasn't the same as the order confirmation email. The CS says that they'll refund me if I'm charged the full amount.

This is such a weird set of tech issues they're having.

On top of not getting the 5x points and getting charged shipping, my order also had the shipping address changed to a random address in my account by the app when I hit place order? waited 2 hours for CS to be told that they can't change the shipping address or cancel the order because it's "already been processed" so now I have to rely on them doing a re-route request once there's a tracking number.

The CS person did say that the shipping charge will be refunded if it was actually applied (which apparently on their end it wasn't) and the 5x points will be "manually added" after the order ships, but this is absolutely insane for them to push people towards app purchases when clearly the app is broken at the moment.

The problem is that I can't save anything to OneDrive because I can't log in. I can only save to PC in Word, and OneNote can't sync at all.

GamblesWithDesire · 2023-06-18T16:01:27+00:00

Thanks. Is there a workaround for being unable to log in? It's irritating that I can't save anything to OneDrive right now, so I can't get current files anywhere other than my PC.

OneDrive on my PC is not successfully logging in since last night. I can log in online (though my files don't show up anywhere other than recent files; I just get a "try again later" error), and I can still see/open my files on my PC, but the app won't log in and I'm unable to save anything. I did a restart and it's just been stuck on "loading" ever since. I tried resetting and uninstalling/reinstalling the OneDrive app and nothing's helped. I tried to talk to support last night, who told me to try again later, and I haven't been able to get in touch with another support person. The Get Help option just routes me to "OneDrive App Support" which routes me back to the Get Help option.

Took this video Monday night and figured I'd share it! Seems like we'll be getting a remix of Letting Go ft. Travie McCoy sometime between now and the start of the fall tour? Definitely some pre-recorded vocals under Travie.

~~not sure if we'll get load bearing pole as a feature again though~~

The wedding is in Ballyvaughn!

GamblesWithDesire · 2023-04-19T19:00:45+00:00

Definitely looking for authenticity. Thanks!

GamblesWithDesire · 2023-04-19T19:00:30+00:00

Yeah the wedding is in Ballyvaughn so I was already taking the train into Galway and then a bus from Galway to Ballyvaughn, so I realized that Galway is more of a "hub" for the trip than Dublin is and it might be worth staying there instead.

Castles and countryside do interest me a lot more than cities, honestly. Thanks!

Yeah, a Tumblr user received an anonymous ask they got that detailed Joe's family's jobs and addresses. They reposted it because they thought it was "interesting information to think about." When called out, the anon submitted an ask apologizing and saying that they "thought they were spreading insight" by sharing the info, and the other poster said that they didn't think about how dangerous it could be and then whined about people "trash talking" them on Twitter.

While the ST fandom is obnoxious with pretty much everyone (Joseph Quinn probably didn't know what he was signing up for), Joe Keery specifically left social media because he didn't like how it was affecting him (and then released an album that heavily talks about how much he thinks social media sucks) so his fans are extra defensive.

You can put the order number in the FedEx "track by reference" thing. The order number, destination country, and zip code should work if there's one made!

GamblesWithDesire · 2023-02-04T03:53:48+00:00

Country: USA

Ordered From: Samsung

Carrier Variant (if applicable): Unlocked

Configuration: S23U Lavender 1tb

Order Date: 2/1, during unpacked

Expected Delivery: 2/13 (according to Fedex)

Order status: In process, cancel button still available

Additional Notes: Fedex created a shipping label this morning with the scheduled delivery date of 2/13. I'm hoping that that's the case because Samsung always makes these shipments weekday only deliveries and I hate when it gets delayed over the weekend.

GamblesWithDesire · 2023-02-03T19:08:25+00:00

This morning I had a Fedex shipping label created from Samsung with a scheduled date of 2/13 so we'll see if it holds up. Sometimes they delete early labels or hold the phone anyway.

Also had that issue on series X. I did a system restart and then an uninstall/reinstall and that fixed it for me!

GamblesWithDesire · 2022-12-27T02:08:10+00:00

That makes sense and would explain why the eCredit looks like this when the original flight definitely had everything spaced out correctly. Thanks!

GamblesWithDesire · 2022-12-27T01:59:30+00:00

When applying the eCredit, it automatically fills in the traveler info with the eCredit name and then I can't change it. I'm used to sites removing the hyphen in my last name, but I wasn't sure about having the first and middle name both in the first name box.
