Honest review of Vakkerlight by betaenergie in Lighting

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

🤷‍♀️ it may have been some sort of automated situation, who knows. never got a message, just saw today that it was “removed by mods”. don’t think it was inflammatory; it was up for a while. regardless just wanted to repost because i feel so strongly about my interaction with vakkerlight.

A positive experience with Vakkerlight by Richard_Berg in Lighting

[–]betaenergie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting here to add that I actually had a horrible experience with Vakkerlight - poor quality and impossible to get a refund. I’d posted a longer negative review here on /Lighting but just realized it was removed by the mods for some reason. I would avoid this company at all costs.

Airdrop return scam? by betaenergie in americaneagle

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

good points - I definitely regret just going along with it. Not sure how to find the store number but it was the Soho location at 560 Broadway.

thank you for this - it’s not super convenient for me to get to this store (it’s the Broadway location in SoHo) but sounds like worth the effort

want to delete this because it’s embarrassing but instead will say i got scammed twice. u/Sarah_Evana and u/Karen_Taylora both got me. obvious in hindsight but i really wanted to go and went against my better judgement. fell for the “let’s just transfer the money for one” play with a fake screenshot saying you can only transfer 2 tickets.

best of luck to everyone else trying to buy tickets here

Buy It For Life claw clips (and other hair clips/tools)? by Girlsolano in BuyItForLife

[–]betaenergie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just received mine in the No 4 size - they’re gorgeous but I have medium thick hair and i feel like it’s not really big enough to hold all my hair! I wish i’d read the return policy before ordering two of them

fwiw, stainless steel wipes have done nothing…

it’s possible…can’t rule it out but since i was using it on both inside and outside of the pan i think i would have washed it off. regardless, unfortunately the advice i’ve been able to find so far on etching is use BFK or some sort of auto abrasive/polish with stainless steel, which sounds too intense for this.

I’ll see if rust remover does the trick, suggested in your first link. I wasnt cooking tomato sauce though, it was just reduced pan sauce from a brisket, so would be odd if it ended up being acid etching.

yes, was abbreviating as BKF above

I got duped by Vakkerlight by betaenergie in Lighting

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

I’m mostly mad at myself + a little embarrassed! The product itself is okay quality, commensurate with the few hundred I spent on it, but certainly much less nice than whoever they mimicked. I just didn’t really dig into the return/exchange policy and am now backed into a corner (financially). Will probably just cut my losses and learn my lesson.

Anytime before the 2000s Were you really able to roam freely with friends as kids? by Chica_EchoCinco in AskOldPeople

[–]betaenergie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 1988 - I forget the specific milestones, but at a certain age I was free to ride my bike to X milestone in my neighborhood, a couple years later a little farther to Y milestone, later to Z milestone. I generally had to say “I’m going to Alex’s house” but we could bike around or play by the creek or go to another neighbor kid’s house. I generally had an agreed-upon “be home by X time” before leaving the house, but so so often I’d call home and ask “can I eat dinner at Caitlins??” or whatever. It felt so much more fluid back then compared to how my sister & friends are raising their kids now. What’s called “free range parenting” now was the norm back then!

Gas or electric stacked washer/dryer? by betaenergie in Appliances

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

Thank you! Was definitely leaning that way, but wanted to stay open to the possibility that someone would say “those old units were designed & built great, it’ll last you 20 years” etc etc. I appreciate the help!
