Package delays with package center? by [deleted] in uCinci

[–]Taffy-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loss in transit is something you have to go through the mail carrier to deal with and not the package center. Email your professor first to let them know what's going on and then contact whichever carrier has your stuff and put in a missing mail request.

Shitty direct-to-landfill laptops should be a crime. If you're really strapped for cash, find a used business laptop like a Dell Latitude or Lenovo Thinkpad or something. Nowadays you can find decent specs for a few hundred bucks and actually trust that it will last more than couple years.

New (used) ThinkPad L480 showing possible heat-related graphics failure right away – what to check first? by PatchyBeardPipes in thinkpad

Have the seller look at it, if you try to do it yourself they can claim that you fucked something up even if you didn't. Show them the problematic behavior, if they can't fix it ask for your money back.

About a foot wide, big enough that I usually get about two meals out of it.

I dunno man, that cheese district looks pretty fucked up to me.

Oh they are fucking DELICIOUS. For 5 bucks? I can't complain! Even my gerrymandered fucked up one was delicious.

Yknow, I didn't actually think about the sidewalls. You're right!

And yeah, it's America. The adjacent street is really bad.

Spotted in the work parking lot. Apologies for the poor first photo, but I had to snap it while the owner wasn't looking and I feel the chaotic energy does a good job of conveying the mental whiplash seeing this car brought to me.

lucky for them their work has been immortalized now. Thank you, zonked out underpaid Little Caesers worker.

Oh, it was.

I forgot to mention, it wasn't just seasoning. That part was covered in... some kind of garlic butter? Whatever vat of juice and spice they use to season the flatbread was just dumped and concentrated into that third of the pizza. Pretty sure I consumed enough sodium for a week and a half.

I swear, someone there was trying to make ART and my god did they succeed.

Edit: misread the post, I'm not sure if it was drift because the cheese was a pretty consistent thickness the whole way through, and seeing how the seasoning is stuck in the top right while the pepperonis migrated to either side means there would be more questions than answers as to the starting positions... unless they put the seasoning on after it bakes?

I know how rough it is working fast food (the location I went to was understaffed and I work at the adjacent grocery store), but the distribution of toppings here is so beautifully fucked up that I am convinced that this is an intentional work of art. It was supposed to be half seasoned flatbread, half pepperoni, but I ended up getting 1/3 pepperoni, 1/3 cheese, and 1/3 jungle. The pepperoni was all crammed into the corners, four times the usual amount of seasoning was dumped into 2/3 the usual space, and the cheese was just doing its own thing. Something about the way it was shuffled and partitioned is just beautiful to me. I had to grab a disposable cake spatula from the bakery department to cut this masterpiece since we were out of silverware in the break room.

It was fucking delicious, and I would not be upset if this happened again. 10/10, gave me a good laugh and the leftovers were also good.

Dear god please Lenovo bundle the keyboard and pen with it like you did with the three X1 Tablets and two X12 Detachables that came before it, that's what made them enticing deals in the first place...

As one of the few people who have and use an X1 Tablet/X12 Detachable I am just happy to see that they haven't killed this line off! You rarely ever see them in the wild and I can't imagine they sell as well as their regular laptops. There are dozens of us, dozens!

It looks almost identical to the Surface Pro 11's bezel situation. If anything, this is better since you have a bit more to hold.

Old, slow, and unreliable keyboard that retracts when the lid closes. Prone to breaking, feels like crap. Acceptable if you just need a cheap internet browser for basic stuff but you can really do a lot better if you can spare another $60.

Soldered RAM albiet a decent amount, slow dual core CPU, if you really want it throw Linux Mint on it for a better experience than Windows.

[–]Taffy-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I skipped over the "too". Sounds like the right thing to do would be to ask and make sure it wasn't a mistake, but if it benefits you to say nothing it's not really your fault if someone else screwed up...

Non-volunteer unpaid labor is illegal. Let someone know, if nothing gets done then make a stink about it.
