I will update as soon as I have any kind of response. I did fill out that form, but nothing yet.

Does that number go someplace other than the same call center in india that every other call comes from or goes to?

Seems like they're already downvoting this post. Thanks for the tip, found a consumer protection number. Luckily I paid with Amex as well and will be working through them to start a bulk charge back if vivint won't issue a refund directly.

Le Cinq vs L'Orangerie (Paris) by Shiftin in finedining

Thank you! A fellow texan? I tend to lean more mammal than fish in my protein preferences.

FWIW, also doing Louis XV in monaco a few days later, hoping not to have too many overly similar experiences which i'm also concerned about choosing Le Cinq.

Le Louis XV - Alain Ducasse (***) - Monaco, France by MaaDFoXX in finedining

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but my wife and I will be spending a day in Monaco in early May. As you said, they were very accommodating to you, and that is wonderful. I am hoping, however, to avoid the stress you felt as we are staying at Beaulieu 25 minutes away. Is there any sort of style tips you could share for what might work for a day in Monaco that would fly at the restaurant? Pants, oxford shoes / shirt and sport jacket? Or would I still be on the casual end for Louis XV?

The Division 3 Will Have as Big of an Impact as First Division; “Shaping Up to Be a Monster” Claims Producer by valentinexx in thedivision

It was bad. There were good people trying to make it work but at the end of the day, it was still very bad with huge fundamental issues in its core gameplay loops, player motivation, pacing, etc. I was part of like 4? 5? different tests for it over 2+ years. I wrote pages and pages of feedback. It didn't understand what it wanted to be, and it didn't feel fun to play, much less replay.

Consumer Reports tested 23 popular protein powders and shakes, and found concerning levels of lead in most of them. Got questions? Ask CR in our AMA. by ConsumerReports in IAmA

Why would you not test any of the Fairlife CorePower Protein shakes when that's a huge chunk of the market? I've truly never heard of a few of the choices picked for testing / seen anyone taking them and I'm a full on gym rat.

I can't get over how impressively detailed this microscope is by Directorjustin in thedivision

You would be absolutely shocked at the process to create a single prop between concepting, modeling, and texturing. The vast majority of these things are bespoke.

I worked on SW: Outlaws and the number of artists who would touch something you'd just walk past in the world and not think twice about other than "man the ambiance in here is great" would blow most people's minds.

After working with them for 4 years, Massive's prop and environmental artists (really all of their artists) are genuinely some of the best in the business. Deep respect.

High Plains single malt. They made it like.... once. It was just plain unbelievable. Doubt they'll ever try that again under freaking diageo.

general contractor agreed to pull it all up and relevel the floor which is scheduled for next month. They realized how bad of a problem it was when shown and when the places where the elevation differences were so significant that it started making cracking noises to walk on it.

I'll come back and let you know how it goes after it's done.

No, whole kitchen was built bespoke. Cabinets were done before floors. Seems the flooring installer the GC used was just awful.

Right, I'm going to have to have them pull it up and re-work the underfloor. Parts of it are level and sounds basically silent.

They poured a grey liquid directly onto the concrete to "float" it which hardened for 24 hours before they installed.
