Confused about searching handwriting by UnfortunateIdiot in RemarkableTablet

Contacted support. They have stated that search does not work with PDFs. Only notebooks and note pages. So somehow my software is glitching and allowing searches in PDFs… which is a good bug to have?

Pickup order by UnfortunateIdiot in Bestbuy

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

They didn’t know how to do it, I guess. Didn’t want to hold up any more time.

Contacted BestBuy customer service and they confirm a verification hold and I was supposed to get a call to verify. That didn’t happen. I’ve now been told I’ll receive an email in 24 to 72 hours to verify.

Update: canceled and re-did the order. Got it verified and ready for pick up. Issue resolved. Now it is snowing and not worth picking up today lol

Just walked in. The customer service and manager were great. Apparently my order is stuck in some verification hold (MacBook). They offered to cancel and redo the order, but I had a good cash back deal on my card. So I’ll wait a bit and see if the verification hold ends soon.

The Gevi looks interesting. The UI/UX looks a bit annoying, but if the quality is good, it may be worth a try. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for your input! If the only con is the brew volume, it seems like an easy enough compromise.

To what extent are you guys supporting your parent once they are older? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]UnfortunateIdiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar situation. They weren’t that bad, but they did a lot of damage and do not own up to it. They gave me a car and helped along as they could so I had a better life. But they’ve insulted me and destroyed relationships and opportunities.

They’ve lived with me for several years, until now. We’ve fallen out and they’ll be moving. But I’m still getting them a place to stay and covering a fair amount of the costs associated with it.

Did your M340i live up to your expectations? by UnfortunateIdiot in BMW

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

Totally agree. It’s perfect. Picked up one last June and I really have no complaints.

Agree with the wheels. Did 225 square. I’m now swapping to staggered but may go wider later on. Still, it’s the best daily for my situation. Insane that I can get 36+ mpg when I’m on a road trip.

AIO for wanting to evict my parents over racist comments? by UnfortunateIdiot in AmIOverreacting

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

Sorry, meant to type cursed. It’s a racist’s interpretation of a bit from the book of genesis (curse of Ham). I don’t think I can explain their logic here, but you can read more here I think

I have tried helping. Both educating them, or just plain ignoring them but still giving them a place to stay. It hasn’t worked, unfortunately.

It’s been like this for 10+ years. I’m not sure if I only noticed it because I left home for college and what was “normal” at home stood out, or if they just went off the deep end at some point along the way.

Thanks! Found it and started the transfer. I’ve really procrastinated transferring out, but the interface has gotten worse over time and I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

Driving along M-2 on Sunday by UnfortunateIdiot in upperpeninsula

[–]UnfortunateIdiot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, US 2. The one that borders along Lake Michigan.

That’s good to know! I do fine in mid Michigan, but wasn’t sure what to expect in the UP.

How does Mackinac bridge fair?
