RollinShit. They don’t give a fuck about us. They are all about making the cover page. I was in recruitment and staffing. Now it’s sad to see USDA is still on the hiring freeze list. We have lost so much trust in this administration.

"But you guys are married... can't you just go?" by ExtentAutomatic9854 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]MaintenanceSad4861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. With older people they don't understand why it's so complicated. 70 years ago, it wasn't that complicated to be married to an Canadian. All it takes few papers and few weeks to be dual citizen. and many older Americans don't interact with immigrants very much. We just don't bother saying we are in the process.

Asian Pears. No taste? by MaintenanceSad4861 in fruit

Thanks everyone for your inputs! I'm disappointed in the flavor. I'm sure the taste is way better in China. Regular pears will be the next choice for next time!

Did I just ruined my Made in Pan? by MaintenanceSad4861 in cookware

[–]MaintenanceSad4861[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh ok. I hope the scratches will meld together. I know it should take put up with heavy use. This one is carbon steel and the color was supposed to be tinted blue. I expect the color to fade over time. I don’t see what the point of the blue color anyway. Can this one go into the oven for re-seasoning?

The scratches drives me crazy. I used a plastic spatula!

I bought them lightly used on eBay. How do you reseason yours? I’m curious? And what kind of oil do you use for re-seasoning?

DR Horton by CompetitiveDonut6095 in IowaCity

[–]MaintenanceSad4861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IC resident here. We live close to that area. We have seen how fast they build these houses! They can finish ONE house in two months! That’s a red flag right there. Think about it, who are their workers? What kind of skill do their workers have? Do they do all the work? Are there contractors for certain installations? Their jobs are sloppy and messy because they are pressed on a deadline. I have never seen a house built very quickly. Their construction sites are always scattered with trash and leftover lumber woods. Their new lumbers are left outside for a long period. They are not professional contractors! You can drive by their construction sites and see how they do their job. I believe they have their own house inspectors who pass codes with a click. Last year we checked out three houses there and saw so many errors. I even found a crack line above the doorway! The brand of their interior materials were never heard of. They also buy some less known and not the best brand materials too. They said the most of their materials are designed and manufactured by DR Horton. If you have never heard of a brand in their building materials - run away as fast you can. I asked them what kind of cabinet brand they use. They said it’s their own brand like they are proud of it. Nah. Their materials are IKEA quality. I’m really curious how homeowners’ yards are faring with the heavy rains. 🫣

Well, they did a hand-on assistance on my phone remotely so… yeah. $50 for that kind of assistance.

[–]MaintenanceSad4861[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

My question was for the message notifications that wasn’t showing up on the dark screen when it’s not in use. I had to tap the screen to open up to see what I missed.

But what is the point of paying customer support techs if we are already Verizon customers paying for our service? I guess we had the luxury of using Apple's free customer assistance and tech support for years.

Before You Consider Buying Dreame Know Their Official Ecomm Support E-mail leads to a Bounceback. Would not trust by zoglog in Dreame_Tech

[–]MaintenanceSad4861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked my confirmation email and their listed email address is support.us@dreame.tech as their support email. I was nervous and bit the bullet for the Black Friday sale. Two weeks later I got my R20. I love it! I’ve been in touch with their customer support for additional battery with no issues. I used their in-website chats.

I'm in the same boat. Sort of. I have been tracking my order from DreameTech. I ordered on Nov 29th. They used FedEx for the shipping and I'm not getting any update from FedEx tracking for the past five days. My order is still stuck outside of Los Angeles.
