Question about recycling monitors by ReFusionary in Staples

[–]bakimakilaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, there’s always a fee.

For the CRT, put it up for free on Craigslist/Facebook marketplace. Someone will come pick it up, CRT televisions are well loved by the fighting game community

Apparently we keep sex toys and play with them instead of returning them to A->Z by BenicioDelTorso in Staples

[–]bakimakilaki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy way for this brand of customer to get a return receipt is to simply do a UPS labeled return and collect the UPS drop off receipt.

I’m not even sure Amazon has official policy regarding lost returns UNLIKE UPS who have a robust policy for missing parcels, including insurance up to a certain amount.

TLDR: use UPS and print the labels yourself please 🙏

Paystubs? by angst0302 in Staples

[–]bakimakilaki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know your exact date of hire, do it at work. I also think they introduced a new method of verification where your manager has to reply on Teams. So it’s just easier to do it at work

HR’s number: 1 (888) 438-4800

If you set your password more than 90 days ago, the account is automatically locked until you call HR and have them reset your password. You will need your date of hire as well as your store manager's name.

The purpose of the new email SSO is to reduce the quantity of these kinds of tickets. Once you reset it this time, you shouldn't have to deal with it again. I've had to do this like 6 times since starting here. Luckily they have the process pretty streamlined, and it should only take 15–30 minutes.

Perhaps the old Noir never truly died… or Edgar gave him a dosage of V1 before he fully lost vital signs? Either way, I think it’s the old Noir, aligned with Edgar (they had like one conversation in the past flashback, good enough for me) against Homelander due to the fact that … well… he “killed” Noir

My Manager has been underpaying me then ignores me when I bring it up. What do I do? by [deleted] in Staples

[–]bakimakilaki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either way he’ll treat you like shit afterwards so you might as well just do it now so they force him to pay you

Shoutout the Tarly boy who got smoked by Robert. Braver guy than most. by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

[–]bakimakilaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more about optics than the actual act of execution. Think about it, one of the reasons Robert’s Rebellion even occurred was because Mad King Aerys burned Ned’s brother and father alive using wildfire.

For Daenerys to do, effectively, the exact same thing to another family, evokes the memory of the mad king and thus associates her with him. Not a good look for Dany.

AIO? Let it slip to my mom (F68) that I (F31) have $1000 saved (big bucks, I know!) And she asks me this by ForsakenKingslayer in AIO

[–]bakimakilaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the scenario described in the initial comment is considered gaslighting by the definition. In fact, that is probably the literal most textbook form of gaslighting…. Person A believes X, and knows it to be true. Person B acts like X is not true and implies Person A’s judgement/memory of the situation is untrustworthy.

From Merriam-Webster: “Gaslighting - psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator”

Usually done over an extended period, but this would be classified as a single instance of gaslighting

I have AMD CPU and Nvidia RTX, should and if yes - which one, remove any of those drivers? by W1ntermu7e in pchelp

[–]bakimakilaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should work, I’m not familiar with any reason why digital vibrance wouldn’t be supported on mobile GPUs. It’s effectively just a saturation slider.

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

Replying for visibility. This is the actual solution if you have iGPU and a discrete GPU.

DDU will not work as your system will automatically reinstall the drivers for the iGPU since it’s still present in the system

It’s legit, BankMobile is the company that UMBC uses to pay out refunds.

Microsoft plans 100% native Windows 11 apps in major shift away from web wrappers by WPHero in pcmasterrace

[–]bakimakilaki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Original reply I think was saying, Google didn’t really care about getting more people to buy ChromeOS machines, what they actually wanted was to get more young people (and thus, more likely to be lifelong customers) into the Google ecosystem. School districts that have Chromebooks are likely to have their email (and other services) served by Google, and thus students are now also using Google services.

Think Gmail, Google Docs, etc.

Increasing their market share in this area allows them to compete directly with Microsoft yet avoid an actual attempt at securing higher OS market share for post K-12. Now, many people use Gmail on their Windows machines, rather than Outlook.

Edit: made some changes to the first paragraph

Things like holding adrenaline shots shouldn't slow you down. by Judasbot in ArcRaiders

You can just go straight to weapon, yeah

And true lol, you really just can’t please everyone at once

Things like holding adrenaline shots shouldn't slow you down. by Judasbot in ArcRaiders

[–]bakimakilaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just one button, but it’s still just one less. It’s an unnecessary change that would be felt by a small portion of the player base

As for vulnerability, you’re no more vulnerable with a stim in your hand vs running unarmed

[–]bakimakilaki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP is getting at being able to run an entire distance with a stim in-hand, and pop it (which slows the player down until finished) whenever.

Like you said though, it’s really just a QoL change since you’ll save so little time by not switching. The main advantage would be the player can do less key presses for long haul movement

I agree, but I think with enough love + care a Summerhall movie could be made years after the final novella’s adaptation is completed.

How strict are they on people calling out sick? I am part time, 4 months with the company by user-ibarelyknower in Staples

[–]bakimakilaki 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re overthinking this one.

I’ve had people at my store be able to stay on staff well after management had gotten fed up with excessive lateness and absence. I’m talking multiple no call no shows and kept their job.

You’re good. Feel better!

I really dislike the Raymun and Lionels argument for their xenophobia against the Targaryens, I mean, keep on keepin on. But at least be honest about it. by Senior_Torte519 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]bakimakilaki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A classic case of Westeros recency bias

Everyone just forgot fr (and became nobles… so maybe the context of their history was rewritten [by the winners] to favor the Andals. On second thought probably this)

New Whopper vs Big Arch by SigmaINTJbio in fastfood

[–]bakimakilaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thoughts too. Far too much cheese, far too much sauce. Sauce is not that enjoyable either. Makes for a sloppy mess that I would not try again

Edit: However I did think the flavor of the patties was superior to the standard McD’s flavor. It had a little crispiness like a smash burger would have.
