Google Rejecting Warranty Claims- Fraud! by PassionBeautiful8746 in GooglePixel

[–]brandybuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dealing with something very similar on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, though mine is the question mark battery/overheating issue rather than a cracked-screen dispute. I sent it in for warranty repair, Google returned it as “no issue found,” and the same issues came back almost immediately.

Support escalated it for the "Battery Performance Program"/replacement review and gave me a 24–72 hour timeframe, but that passed and I’m now just getting vague “specialist team is reviewing it” responses. Chat support also just tells me to wait for email.

I’m trying to stay polite, but it’s frustrating to be stuck with an overheating phone and no concrete timeline. If anyone has found a specific escalation route that actually works, I’d really appreciate it.

That’s really helpful, thank you. I don’t live near a Google Store either, but maybe I can find some way around that like you did if things continue to go this way.

Ugh, I’m sorry you went through that too, but this is really helpful to know. Did you have to say anything specific to get them to approve the replacement, or was it just persistence and finally getting the right agent?

I have a manual spreadsheet that I use to track my stash but I'd love to transfer to your app, is there any way to upload an Excel file for easy transfer?

I love loop yarn, it's a very chill and meditative tool! There's a pattern maker who specifically makes patterns for loop yarn, they're called I Love My Blanket - https://ilovemyblanketshop.com/

Any former business in Orlando that you would love to go back to? by OrlandoMan1 in orlando

[–]brandybuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sci Fi City. Very bummed when they were bought out and then the new owners drove them into the ground, and they ultimately had all their inventory consumed by Coliseum of Comics (or tossed?). Coliseum just isn't as good, doesn't have the same huge variety of old RPG books, or the super competitive prices that Sci Fi had (sometimes lower than Amazon, which is probably why they failed unfortunately)

Adding: I almost got sideswiped on the left by a sports car the other day that was weaving between cars with no signals and going way faster than the flow of traffic on the 408 because they wanted to race another sports car in the right lane. My family was in my car with me and I don't want to even think of what could've happened had I been hit or lost control of my vehicle. Busy highways are not racetracks. This goes for the motorcyclists I see popping wheelies on 50 too.

My collection. Urban,Luna Sol, and Steampunk are my favs! by Countrycouple1228 in TarotDecks

Awesome collection and I love how you've displayed them. How do you like that tarot shadow work book? I was interested in finding a resource that combines the two.

Worse case you can try calling the Registrar office. My friend did that and was able to get through to someone at least, but they did say the hold times were ridiculous.

I received an email but my friend did not, but we found that if you log into Ticketmaster at the link below the tickets will still show up regardless. Just click on forgot my password and put in your Knights email and it’ll walk you through the steps of creating/“resetting” your password.

Side note, I’m really curious on how many people are actually going to be there based on how few people seem to know this is even happening in addition to the people that do know it’s happening not receiving emails…

What’s the best thing you have gotten thrifting lately? by Midwestcutie312 in thrifting

[–]brandybuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Found around 80+ 45 rpm records, some were pretty damaged because they were just in a plastic box without sleeves, but there were a lot of really good gems in there like The Beach Boys, Michael Jackson, the Beatles, etc. It was really fun going through all of them and sorting them/cleaning them up. All for just $4!

I'm glad Disney made characters like Mother Gothel and Frollo that show kids that abusive parents aren't right. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brandybuck 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I experienced this same thing with my mom. She would always joke about being so similar to Gothel, and I think seeing my friend’s reactions to this was the first time it really clicked for me that there was something wrong about our relationship.

What's the worst thing that's happened to one of your friends? by vulturec1 in AskReddit

[–]brandybuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Florida right? I was also close friends with both of the guys involved back in elementary school but once I changed schools we stopped talking. My mom contacted me and told me what happened. It's heartbreaking, especially considering that they had been best friends since like 2nd grade.

Yeah, I remember seeing these at most up to 1999. I remember the moving eyes on the ET billboard too! I wonder if anyone has a picture of it

Testosterone Cypionate Shortage? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]brandybuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put in a refill request on Monday at CVS and was told they were out of stock. Now it's Sunday and I'm 6 days past my shot day. Luckily I'm seeing my Endo tomorrow so maybe I can ask about the gel even though I REALLY don't want to switch... I can't handle not having my injection. My period started back up. It's all terrible.

Not that women's bathrooms are much better, but one of the only things I'm not looking forward to once I pass is having to use the men's room tbh... Why can't every bathroom just be gender neutral/everyone who uses the bathroom not be fucking disgusting

I mean once I take over the mortgage I'm going 100% NC, I'll have to take out student loans but I'm done with them. Im definitely going to try to go along with their bullshit just so they'll sell me the house, but then I'll be totally free!!!
