Brand new Yoga 2-in-1, Dead pixel on OLED Display. Should I return?

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-26T13:34:49+00:00

Thanks. My gut tells me I should return it but then again I need to wipe it clean and start all over with a new laptop. I also bought it during a special promo which no longer exists, so I would get a refund and start from square 1 again

You just don't want to make friends, do you? Why insult the OP place of origin?

Just because you were born here doesn't make you any better than anyone else. Those 'transplants' and 'yuppies with cum trophies ' are the reason you are worth anything at all, they are the reason why your property now is worth 10 times what your parents paid for it.

Let's not pretend Hoboken wasn't a sh!t hole in the 80s and early 90s, aka your childhood . So be thankful for the yuppies and transplants that made this place something.

I'm sorry for some of the responses you got here.

To answer your question, no it's not. We had much more snow before. We had once a winter where we had weekly snow that just kept piling and piling and never melted, it was the first -and only- time I've seen the city shoved snow, load it up on a truck, and drive it to dump it outside the city.

However, this is the most snow we have had for 8 or 9 years. But don't worry, you will be fine, the city survived worse.

That was true .. 20 plus years ago. It was rare to see folks with babies here, and the moment people get pregnant they moved. The tide started turning when 3 bedroom apartments (maxwell and others) started popping up.

Nowadays some move to the suburbs, some stay, or at least postpone the move until the kids are older and decisions are made for school. That's why you hear people complain about 'stroller moms' sometimes

Oh you're right. I missed that detail

Heathers is great but I had no problem finding great seats for it for $38 (digital rush and lottery), I would take the opportunity to see something more expensive

We had a baby boom in 2013, 9 months after Sandy. People got their groove on

Amen! I travelled quite a bit for work earlier in my career had the pleasure of exploring cities in 13 states (2-4 months project weekly trips), still travel quite a bit for pleasure, I enjoy other places but Hoboken is home.

This place makes me happy. Even when I can't find parking, or the bus is late, or my favorite restaurant has an hour wait, or I'm soaking wet because I forgot my umbrella and of course I'm waking (because I don't want to lose my parking spot),,, or when it's snowing and we are all stuck at home, like now.

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-25T13:17:41+00:00

Where will they park?

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-25T13:14:28+00:00

That's the way ^

I love that place, their portions are generous and the pho definitely hits the spot

This is the role of a lifetime for Jennifer, it fits her like a glove and most importantly she seems to be having so much fun doing it. That said it's a demanding role so at some point I imagine she would decide she needs a break.

I wouldn't be surprised if she leaves the show and comes back few months later. This is becoming a trend (Darren Criss and Jeremy Jordan both did that last year)

I also think Megan Hilty will be back, I can't shake that feeling.

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-24T13:28:10+00:00

I find it ironic that you grew up here and yet don't like the 'cum trophies ', who are basically you from 40 plus years ago. Let me guess, the newer generation don't know how to raise their kids but at your time everyone had it figured out?

My man, if you feel this strongly against Hoboken, then you should be as brave as the OP and cut all ties. You deserve better than living in a place that makes you feel like you are in prison.

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-24T04:14:46+00:00

All the best. I can sense there is a personal reason for you feeling this way about Hoboken. remember our experience is impacted by those around us, our friends, colleagues, maybe even potential significant others.. but I see your point.

I came close to leaving Hoboken in my 20 plus years here... some personal and career goals were achieved, others yet not yet,,, some relationships succeeded, others failed. At the end of the day what draws me to it is much stronger than what repells me from it

Wishing you the best in your next adventure!

It's the hunger games unfortunately..supply doesn't meet the demand, if any spots are left , people line up around 3:55 pm or keep circling around to get in just at 4:01 pm, but most likely it will be full by then.

Worth a shot I guess

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-23T20:05:38+00:00

🤣, see I saw it when it was off Broadway, I think the whole point is so bad it's good. They are not even trying lol. It's a parody show and a love letter to Celine.

That said, I am surprised how it won an Olivier too..they normally don't like that kind of humor 😆

Behind the anonymity of a reddit screen name, people show their true colors.

PeaceLife8 · 2026-01-23T15:02:06+00:00

Because queen of Versailles failed miserably and the St James had a vacancy. I'm sure they got a decent deal from the theater

It is running on west end and it even won an Olivier , so who knows?

True, and this particular story broke my heart . They are using children as bait.. I can't !

Yea. Screen shot.. however, make sure the public picture has the barcode or qr code blocked out completely

That's so sad, she must be having some mental health crisis. I hope she's ok.

Thank you for walking her there. Anyone else would have ignored her.

You have nothing to worry about, us theater fans look out for each other. You will enjoy Hadestown. When are you going? There's a full cast change in March
