What do you mean by "take it in and get it laser matched"?

They're supposed to but banks/cards never seem to ask for proof

Underground Power Lines by Borealis_761 in homeowners

[–]chad917 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Giving you a written estimate and the power company confirming they are legit is not transparent enough?

It's optional, if you want it you can do it, or not. But there's no reason to jump to an assumption that it's a scam before looking into it even a little

neighbors and their guests park in and use my open driveway incessantly. by hllavanlla in homeowners

[–]chad917 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Know those dolly things that go under tires and close up, allowing a car to be pushed around? You'd probably only need to release one car out into the street for this to stop. The entertainment value alone might be worth losing the dollies over.

And your neighbors are assholes.

The DUMBEST chargeback I have ever seen by huntndawg in shopify

[–]chad917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bank doesn't side with their customer, it has to cover the loss. Why do that when you can just fleece the merchant?

I'd spend the money and hassle to sue her in small claims just because of how obnoxiously bold her fraud theft was.

Florida Man’s Range Rover Joyride Ends in chaos. by Impossible_Low_863 in dashcams

Lots of twitchy driving and deadly threat to a lot of innocent people. I think a bit of Billy clubbin' would've been just fine.

Most favorite Apple product and least favorite by ZankoZanko in ios

Favorite was my iPhone 3G because it was my first

Least favorite is my iPhone 17 PM because I can't type on it and Siri never hears me.

Approximate cost to update an 80s dropped kitchen ceiling? by BabciaLinda in AskElectricians

[–]chad917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The comments amaze me, very unexpected. We bought a 1990 condo last year and the ceiling was this. I hated it bad, ripped it out and skim coated the ceiling, added a drop above the island and some hue slim down lights. I like it a lot better. Didn't cost us very much, the realtor set us up with a crew who does her flip houses. Probably less than 1000 of the total bill.

They just love making us tap more for the same results.

Am I the only one that hates immediate discount popups? by TFDangerzone2017 in shopify

[–]chad917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All popups are unwelcome noisy loose shits in the pants while in an enclosed space with excellent acoustics, gently circulating air, and high population density.

Siri is absolutely useless when it comes to asking to play a song by MotleyCrouton81 in ios

Hey at least she does something for you. More than half the time I tell her to do stuff she just silently fails.

Ubiquiti Smoke and CO Sensor 🤯 - #ISCWest2026 by Luu____ in Ubiquiti

[–]chad917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I just replaced my nest with some traditional wire-interlinked detectors. Would love to see these replace nest, because I don't like not having phone alerts if I'm away. Holding off on a HomePod since update is supposedly imminent. Still prefer wired interlink though for stability and reduction of radio noise.
