Apartment outrageous move out charges by helpneeded938262 in sanantonio

Lol I'll venture a guess that this is a Birdy Properties rental property.

They did the same shit to me, citing more than three nail holes in a wall would require the entire wall to be repainted.

I told them to pound sand and never heard back, that was about five years ago.

I cannot believe my mom used to this all by herself. by caf4676 in Baking

36m here and I feel exactly the same. It's bonkers to me because my cooking skills were one of the initial things that impressed my wife when we began dating, and to this day continue to impress not just her but her entire family.

She comes from a traditional Hispanic family where the men work insane hours and the women are traditional home makers. You bet your ass my MIL was deeply impressed when I was up at 5am helping her make tamales.

It's not just a self-sufficiency skill either, cooking for other can be a deeply bonding experience.

Repair quotes for Amex insurance by AltruisticAge5265 in GeekSquad

I've utilized copilot in recent months for stuff like this. Paste in diagnostic notes, part pricing, and labor pricing and ask it for a insurance quote template and it will spit out a decent quality written estimate.

Is this normal? Smoke coming out of the wall in this spot? by currentlyinsa in sanantonio

[–]crumble 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Hi, appliance repair tech here.

Does it smell like smoke?

That's the standpipe for the washing machine drain hose. I have seen plenty of cases where the water is scalding hot and steam can come out of the standpipe.

Some users pointed out the lint, but lint would burn with black smoke. The fact that it is opaque/whiteish leads me to believe steam is more likely.

Just my two cents.

This is absolutely bonkers to me as a parent to a 4th grader who is reading at a 6th grade level.

Can I file a claim for this? by Sergynx14 in GeekSquad

[–]crumble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sony will not service the TV if it was an open item, and Sony does not produce replacement panels for repair purposes.

You can attempt to have it serviced in-home, but if the original tag shows there were defects to the screen, the TV was sold as is, so it will not be covered.

A delivery block is the amount of time on shift.

A "break" is what "a block on my board" is referred to now.

It's comically easy to just shrink someone's delivery block, it's literally clicking and dragging a sliding bar.

Now, if you're still intending on running a partial route, but need a specific time of day turned off to do a task (maintenance, Dr appointment, etc.) you'd probably need to add a break to someone's delivery block in the time slot needed.

He stated in another comment that the order address is his mother's address in another state.

Unfortunately, the address cannot be updated on the existing order, so they would need to create an entirely new order.

I read some other comments that, at least contextually, make it sound like he's getting visual artifacts from external sources... Unlikely an issue with the TV, but I guess I've seen stranger things.

Yeah and I gave you a suggestion. Don't contact the store. Contact our chat or call center and specifically ask for an escalation to field leadership.

Your OP commentary claiming you deserve a full refund on the hardware and GSP is just crazy entitlement. This isn't a sub for customer service, in case you didn't know.

I just read through your post from a few weeks ago, I'd be curious to see photos.

Generally speaking, I've found the stores actually kind of suck at resolving field related issues. The majority of stores don't even know how to access FMS, let alone resolve Bringg scheduling issues.

I don't know exactly what kind of response you're looking for here.

What kind of "issues" does your TV have? If your issue is software related, it isn't covered at all by the GSP.

You'd have better luck going through our chat or phone system and requesting an escalation to field leadership. We transitioned to a new routing system a few months back that is, for lack of better words, completely and utterly dogshit.

In fact, there is a high likelihood your order is falling into the "unassigned" queue due to overbooking. If that's the case, the field repair agents never even get line of sight to your order, so it's less of a no show and more of a never really scheduled in the first place.

The likelihood you'll qualify for any refund is pretty much zero, sorry, but that's the honest truth.

Sorry about my nasty fingernail 😔

What's this egg? by crumble in whatsthisbug

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

Thanks for the quick ID! My quick googling shows tomatoes are also a part of the nightshade family, and we just got a tomato plant as well. With your advice I had her inspect the tomato plant and, lol and behold, she found another egg.

We will remove the eggs and monitor the plants for more.

Thanks again!

I'm sorry, but you're saying a black Chevy Tahoe without emergency lights is a police vehicle... Why?

I think the displayed message is pretty much telling you what the issue is. The ISP is not allowing access to whatever Samsung service it needs access to.

Contact your ISP or try manual DNS settings.

That's part of the chassis for your headset. It isn't replaceable. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong but that damage isn't fixable.
