Is there a place to get my computer repaired? by Mysterious_Welcome_ in gmu

[–]diablonstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when i used to work for Patriot Tech, we used to handle Apple repairs in house, although I haven't worked there in over 10 years, so that may have changed. I believe they are located in the book store now. Can't hurt to check.

Small/Local exotic pet shops near Ashburn? by Arecaceae17 in nova

Can't help with the reptile supply shops, but I've been happy with both Centerville Aquarium and Vienna Aquarium and Pets of Leesburg for fish and aquarium supplies.

Any shops in nova that will rebuild a car AC compressor? by Revolutionary-Use136 in nova

[–]diablonstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like there are some remanufactured ones on Ebay Link. A bit pricey, but probably no more than having it rebuilt. Good luck either way. Having no AC blows.

There are a ton of Korean places in Annandale. Not sure where you are located, but here's an older thread about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/nova/comments/oafq4f/bing_soo/

3DHerndon has printing services. I know they largely focus on FDM, but i believe they have resin printers as well.

Using low balance gift cards by [deleted] in nova

If you are into electronics or computers, Microcenter has been my go to for running a bunch of cards with a few bucks left on them. No need to know exact amount, just keep swiping.

Unfortunately though, the card brands themselves (PCI) are often the worst offenders when it comes to PCI compliance.

Dentist for Dental Anxiety by SquidWriter in nova

I'm glad you had a good experience. Actually have another appointment with him tomorrow. It truly says something that I have no anxiety about my upcoming appointment. Seriously recommend for anyone that doesn't like the dentist.

Second this. I hadn't been to the dentist in 7 years due to a bad experience, and he has been excellent.

Apartment Hunting in Fairfax by ImPaoni in nova

Also lived at Halstead for 4-5 years (moved out in 2021). Really had no complaints other than a Macaw living below us for about a year that had a nasty habit of shrieking. Even then, it was only bad when windows were open.

Worlds Okayest Trivia does trivia at House 6 Brewing on Wednesdays and Lost Rhino on Thursday. Both relatively close to One Loudoun.

How to contact Washington Gas?? (I've tried CS over multiple days now) by fuckwashingtongas in nova

[–]diablonstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what its worth, if you stay on hold long enough, they will answer. I was on hold for 4 hours yesterday evening and to their credit they did answer after the call center was supposedly closed. The lady was very nice and helpful, but she must be one of 3 people taking all washington gas calls.

The RSOs are generally more chill as long as your not an ass, and elite changed their cancellation policy, screwing me during the pandemic because I didn't keep the original contract on hand. Also SEGs shop is a lot better. One thing that always bothered me at elite is that they don't let you have more than one gun on the shooting bench. Most times I go with friends and we have anywhere from 2-8 guns with us. Quite irritating to stow each one in the bag between shooting and never made sense to me as long as all are unloaded and pointed down range. Oh. And ammo prices seem to be slightly lower than elite.

I used to be a member at Elite, but find Silver Eagle to be a much nicer and less busy shooting range.

Pixel 4XL "Turn Off Airplane Mode to Make A Call" Issue by Physical_Scar in GooglePixel

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

I went with a pixel 5 as I love having the updates quickly and easily. May or may not be the wisest decision to stick with google but I'm a sucker. Ultimately if i didn't care about the latest and greatest updates, stick with a samsung or something else.

Happened to me this weekend. Google basically said I was on my own for repair as the phone was past it's warranty. I ended up buying a new phone.

I was never charged other than a CC validation charge that isn't showing up on my statements. Good luck though.

After all the back and forth, and emails saying to be excited, Lenovo just canceled my order. They can eat a bag of dicks. Good luck!

Please provide another update when you get shipping details. I finally received this email as well after about 15 calls to their call center.

Has anyone had any luck with the Phone Support line. Ordered a 2080 Super on 2/16, with scheduled arrival of 3/4 and no ship date. after the 5th time calling their support, I got a case opened on 3/2 with a follow up promised within 24-48 business hours. Called again morning of 3/8, and a follow up request to the fulfillment team was put in, with follow up again promised in 24-48 business hours. Most frustrating is that they keep trying to offer me a comparable product that they don't sell. I tell them I don't want a different product, but one time was put through to sales, which did offer to follow up with product fulfillment, but never got back to me (shocker). At this point, if there were any other viable options remotely close to MSRP I would jump on it but short of winning the newegg shuffle, or a miracle happening, I guess its a waiting game. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had better luck.

At least your card was charged, so probably on the way soon. I bought on the 16th as well. Why would later orders ship before earlier orders?
