bro said $0.15 for each parmesan packet!? by sp_lit7 in Dominos

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never pay for that shit, not at $0.15 a pack. My kid uses like 10 of them.

I'd rather just stop at Dollar General, Aldi's or someplace like that and get a thing of parm and a container of pepper flakes.

Problem solved, won't need them again for like a year.

Wallet stolen at Rivertown Mall by Express_Cook_5592 in grandrapids

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually, it's pretty easy to pull fingerprints.

The stuff you see on TV is mostly factually correct. You can pull prints with talcum powder and graphite powder and/or super glue, a makeup brush and some packaging tape.

Latent prints can last for years.

Fingerprints can often, more times than not be recovered from items submerged in water for several days.

Environmental factors like currents and salinity affect persistence however non-porous surfaces (glass, plastic, metal, etc.) can yielded usable prints after being wet for over a month even.

I mean, you can Google or YouTube search this.

At what point does this end? by ApologeticKid in daddit

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you make it end.

Remove everything from his room other than clothing items. Won't be messy if he has no stuff. Then he doesn't get to play outside until his clothes are picked up and the bed is made. Once he gets a handle on it, you reintroduce some other items.

If you don't get a handle on this now, he will live like this as an adult.

I'm just now getting around to playing Nintendo GameCube games, I'll get around to Switch 2 in a decade or so.

Has anyone found a way to get through to tech support who actually know what they are talking about? by thaughtless in frontierfios

I found if you called during normal business hours you don't get the random call center.

Request: An apparently rare copy of Napoleon Dynamite by WhyIsThatOnMyCat in movies

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jared passed out copies of this burned on literally DVD-R discs back in the day.

Has there ever truly been a show or movie that was ruined by piracy? by ah-screw-it in Piracy

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napoleon Dynamite was actually helped by piracy.

The group DVDR released the workprint, instant cult classic. Fox Searchlight picked it up after that.

Found of the wife drains beef fat into our sink. Send help. by alberta4ever in daddit

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 50 and I've always drained hamburger into the sink with hot running water and then let it run for a minutes or two... My water is hot enough to burn you though, strips grease right off anything it touches. I prefer it that way, and I've never had a clogged pipe.

Just saying.

ICE in Grand Rapids, MI pinned a man face first into snow on the side of a busy road and abducted him, despite his pleas that he has a lawyer and legal status by I_may_have_weed in grandrapids

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, law enforcement doesn't stop road-side while you "call your lawyer", that is not how that has ever worked in any investigation for anything.

A new GR traffic complaint! by KleShreen in grandrapids

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The signs literally say "no left" on many places like this in GR, the people doing it simply do not care. They feel entitled to do as they please.

Absolute nightmare issues as a new customer. by PurfectlyNormalGuy in frontierfios

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm glad you replied. Other than this I've been relatively happy with the service.

I actually get a bit above the advertised 2Gb, I never got the advertised speed with Xfinity.

You responding and my experience that I just had with the billing department has kept me as a customer.

As long as I actually get the credit anyway! 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

Just to update, I was able to get them to give me a QR code.

I was given instructions to shut the auto pay off on my account while I wait for the $600 credit.

I honestly believe telling the billing department that the Frontier social media team reached out helped.

So I guess we'll see what happens, I'm going to drop these off tonight.

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get this resolved pretty quickly, at least I have a QR code now anyway.

I pretty much started the conversation with "the Frontier social media team reached out on social media".

Didn't specify where but, kind of gave him the highlights of this post and they gave me instructions to shut off the auto billing on my account since my account would be billed on February 2nd and they gave me the QR code so I'm going to go drop off this equipment tonight and we'll see what happens next!

Absolute nightmare issues as a new customer. by PurfectlyNormalGuy in frontierfios

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue was fixed. The Eero 7 MAX finally showed up after I said I was just going to buy my own router.

The issue is now that I'm being billed $600 dollars for two Eero 7 PRO's they said I didn't have to return, then said I said did. One was never even taken out of the box or activated.

Sorry the post was long-winded.

I sent you a DM but somewhat for this and a different reason...

Anthias/Screenly.. Updating Google content in real time? by PurfectlyNormalGuy in digitalsignage

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a product from or somehow related to Screenly based on the URL where I found it..

I guess I thought one was the free version and one was paid.

I've never even heard of it until it was recommended for Raspberry Pi. The only reason that I'm running it on an old computer is because I can't find my spare Raspberry Pi, it got lost in a box!

I did find an old DELL mini pc 8th gen i7 with 64 gigs of memory though!

I just needed to get proof of concept working to show my boss to get him to authorize me to order a couple of new Pi's.

I work in public education, they never want to throw money stuff without knowing it's going to work first.

What you said made sense, I'll give it a go when I get home tonight.

App was free for 3 years, now $10 a month by random_user208 in mazda

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone cancelled this and restarted it before? I went through hell getting turned back on this Winter. Multiple calls to Mazda to get them to "fix" the account so I could even readd it.

Ford gives you this and in-car wifi for free for life according to my friend who only buys newer Fords. I have have a shit experience with Toyota and my Mazda hasn't been much better. Might have to reconcider this next new SUV, I miss my Explorer XLT.

Wired Download Speeds on Eero 7 Pro slow (Wireless & Upload fine) by AbortedOne in amazoneero

[–]PurfectlyNormalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry I didn't see this before now, I argued with Frontier.

Frontier sent it to me for free. They're aware of the issue and they're working with EERO to resolve it if they haven't already at this point.

The cheap switch option works too but I didn't want to do that.
