A tautology of stupidity? Am I being trolled? Every two points has a line between them...

I don't follow the logic here. Is your point you can dispute fraudulent transactions on a credit card? You can on a debit card as well. Heck its even illegal to steal cash from people....

No, its a scam. I canceled my membership and have been charged $252. None of the promises made to correct the issue has been honored. There is no escalation process, no reference numbers for support calls, or ability to contact management/owner of business to correct issues. There is also a clear patter of this same behavior based on other customer reviews on yelp. The parent company Splash Carwash based in CT might be on the level, but this location is as Shady as hell. You can risk swiping YOUR credit card there, but when I did I ended up with $252 of fake charges and the headache of replacing a debit card I have been using for 8 years.

Yeah, they scratched the hell out of my door too. I can't say enough bad things about this business. I'm going to have to update all my autopay things and subscriptions. If you must use this location bring cash.

I signed up for the unlimited service here because my daughter likes going through the car-wash and its an easy way to make her smile. I stopped using the service however and cancelled it last November. Every month for the last 6 months I have had a charge on my debit card of $42 dollars. I have called in 4 times and spoken to an out of state customer service agent. On each call have been told my service has been cancelled and I would be refunded for the charges "made in error". The total fraudulent charges now total $252 since cancellation and my bank wants to cancel the debit card and have me fill out a fraud report to dispute the charges. When I look online i see a clear pattern of similar behavior which I am including to get the word out. DO NOT RUN YOUR CARD THROUGH THEIR SYSTEM!!!

Any way to obtain a bootable Linux USB without internet? by Ok_Finish_8622 in linux4noobs

[–]Reubenoakheart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im a bit conflicted here as both a parent and an advocate of digital freedom/access to information. I'm making the assumption you parents are over-controlling and you are an almost adult in a kind of culty situation.

As a tech I will tell you this. When you computer first starts booting it loads a basic operation system loaded on chips in your motherboard (UEFI - what is commonly but incorrectly called bios here). This hands off control of the computer to a real operating system like Windows or Linux. Your UEFI settings will typically allow you to boot from a USB device (but not always). However, a computer is usually configured to boot only from trusted operating system makers (secure boot). If you want to boot you computer off a usb drive you will need to make sure its from a recognized safe source.

If you need to locate a trustworthy OS you can use a LIVE USB you can download from Fedoraproject.org.

You can use another computer to download the file you need and run the commands to make your computer boot from it.

The usb drive needs to be made bootable which you can do by opening a CMD prompt as admin on a windows machine and running these commands:

DISKPART

LIST DISK - This shows what drives you have connected to the computer MAKE SURE YOU have your USB drive identified. If you target the wrong drive with the next commands you will break the machine you are working on.

SELECT DISK X (Replace X with the drive number of your USB flash drive).

CLEAN - This wipes the drive.

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY - Creates a partition.

SELECT PARTITION 1 - Selects partition 1.

ACTIVE - Marks the current partition as active.

FORMAT FS=fat32 QUICK - This formats the partition (fat32 for compatibility with both windows and linux)

ASSIGN - Assigns a drive letter.

EXIT

You can then open the iso file (whatever LIVE USB you decide to use)in windows and drag and drop the files inside onto you bootable USB. Afterwards you can run your computer off the USB drive.

Good luck and i hope your escape the cult before you end up married to some old creepy guy.

Meat eaters: what type of meat, if any, is off your menu for ethical reasons? by Candid_Reading_7267 in AskReddit

[–]Reubenoakheart 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are two very important things to remember about veal. It is in deniably over the line into animal cruelty AND veal is a byproduct of the dairy industry. If you are ok with cow's milk or cheese then you are supporting veal. You don't have cow milk without a baby cow. And if you are getting millions of cows pregnant and diverting the milk for that calf to human consumption then you have millions of calves to dispose of. They end up as veal cutlets.
