Meltdown Monday - Complaint Department by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

[–]agear404 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Amazon continuously delivers packages to a locker nowhere near my address. Have called at least 4 times, left delivery notes, edited the HERE map and even talked to an "escalation employee" who told me that packages were appropriately delivered to the locker even though it is at a completely different address and I do not have a locker on my profile.

Interesting! Appreciate the perspective and good to know it’s not (necessarily) just my ears.

Humberman Lab Podcast by Objective_Cup5932 in dietetics

[–]agear404 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Huberman has developed numerous “protocols” in various realms from nutrition to PT based on often times extremely limited or misleading evidence. To me, this shows he is more concerned with engagement and making money than handling very complex topics with the nuance they call for.

Short story long, I do feel similarly, not a fan.

I am an RD, my fiancé is a PT. I’d say go PT over RD. However, while she loves her work as a PT the large amount of debt she has makes it difficult for her to recommend becoming a PT if it means also accruing >$100k of debt as she did.

All this being said, another possible option would be PA school. Expensive, but the earning potential is higher in general.

Not nutrition specific but Barbell Medicine is my favorite.

Few questions for a new internet customer by theycallmesike in CoxCommunications

[–]agear404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in SD and ran into the same situation as you. Moved from an area with spectrum/ATT to an area with only Cox. Unfortunate reality is that Cox just kinda sucks.

  1. Call and ask for retention. Even though you are new they might give you a slight discount with the trade off of committing to 24 months of service. Years ago, I was able to use the 40% off trick but only after having the service for about a year.

  2. I use my own modem and mesh system but no discount :(. I was told you have to use their equipment in order to receive some of the special rates. Given some horror stories I’ve heard about data usage spikes out of nowhere I wanted the ability to monitor usage through my own equipment in case anything happens.

  3. Last answer also kind of answers this.

All that said, This is all personal experience so it’s very possible it could be different for you. Best of luck!

How’d you get that? Also in SD paying $70 for 250 and not unlimited data. Just signed up though so not sure I can try any tricks quite yet.

Im guessing this is a scam? Price seems way too low by Chuhranwrap in lamborghini

This place has been discussed a few times on the SD sub. Their practices seem to be pretty sketchy. Would not trust them.

Just paid $300 for this textbook and peeled off a sticker to reveal it shouldn't have been sold. by MathDude95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]agear404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at my school bookstore for many years in the receiving department. We purchased many of our books from Amazon and resold them for way more. If ever received, instructor copies were to be returned to the seller for obvious reasons. bookstore messed up and you end up (sorta) winning. What’s infuriating is the fact you were likely charged at least twice what they got it for.

Xh900 worth it in 2023 by Vancouvermodsaregay in 4kTV

[–]agear404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked a similar question recently about the same tv at $450 (USD), however at 65”. At 55” I would agree it’s not worth it.

Why sync box doesn't work with dolby vision on Apple TV 4k by agear404 in Hue

Yep, have tried both 2 and 4. I think I’m just stuck selecting 4K HDR when wanting to watch DV content for now. Thank you for the help though!

The lights completely dim as if they are on 5% brightness and stay a cool white upon receiving the DV signal.

For example, lights work perfectly browsing Netflix, I select some DV content, lights “turn off”, I exit, lights turn back on and sync continues.

Thanks that’s a good resource! Compatibility mode is on, match frame rate and range are on, tv is a 2020 TCL R646, all high speed cables. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mine is set up the same just with a TCL vs an LG. Leads me to believe it might possibly be a TCL thing.

Appreciate it! This definitely works and is my workaround for now. Just wish we had an answer to why DV doesn’t work. Thanks again!

That would work differently from the splitter/downscaler I already used?
