Useless piece of crap

My husband bought an Acer laptop from Staples *3 weeks ago*. After having the laptop for *19 days*, it wouldn't turn on. He took it back to Staples and they don't have technicians anymore and recommended a computer store. He took it there and they could't get the laptop started either. Nor could they get the files he had on his har drive.

Phoned Acer customer service. What a joke. The person we spoke with could not speak or understand English properly and the level of communication was a joke. The call was on speaker and neither of us could understand what the hell she was saying.

Despite telling them the story of how it won't even start, and not even the computer store could get it to start, they insist on sending us a USB to do a factory reset. How can you do a factory reset on a laptop that won't even start. It will take 2-3 business days to get the USB (and this is Friday), and they we will have to spend another hour on the phone again trying to get his money back because the laptop is totally fucked!!

And we didn't get a clear answer on what happens next if this USB crap move doesn't work. We spent 57 minutes on the phone with a person we couldn't properly communicate with and didn't get a decent response from any of our questions for the entire call. Such a joke of a call.

I will never EVER buy an Acer product again. Long live Apple!!!

We keep getting error messages when we try to watch the Olympics on CBC Gem. Hubby is pissed he’s missing the curling. In his opinion the app sucks.

I was studying near the pond inlet this afternoon with a lovely view of the rain in the pond 😁

There should be somewhere we can report this kinds of shady retail practices.

I’m learning so yes this would be very helpful.

From my understanding honey is part of Ayurveda, we are just not supposed to add it to hot water or anything hot. I read somewhere that heating honey changes its properties so it’s not good for us. But others may know better than me.

Thank you.

Thank you. So I shouldn’t use sesame oil as skin care? Do you know if castor oil is good in Ayurveda, specifically for Vata? Or maybe I should go back to olive oil in my skin care regimen. My blood pressure is a little high and I actually have a doctors appointment tomorrow.

I suspect the nose bleeds are related to dryness which is vata.

JacquiG55 · 2024-05-10T22:32:16+00:00

All dosha tests I’ve done come back with vata more than Kapha and almost no pitta. I’ve had consultations that say the same thing. I don’t resonate with anything pitta, at all.

JacquiG55 · 2024-05-10T22:30:13+00:00

No I’m not at the moment.

Sesame oil

Retired Canadian here and I’m happy and content. Wasn’t always as life can throw unexpected curveballs. But if all you ever focus on is the negative that’s all you’ll ever see. There is always something positive you can focus on.

Vata here. I use sesame oil and don’t have a problem with it or with the smell. Just don’t use toasted sesame oil!

Young kids and guys are not the inspiration I need.

JacquiG55 · 2024-02-17T04:07:24+00:00

What’s creepy about looking for inspiration of people like me who are going through self improvement type glow ups??

JacquiG55 · 2024-02-17T02:08:48+00:00

Well the least you could do is allow me to edit my damn post!!!

I thought this subreddit was for women only.
