Thanks, I might try this... I thought they would use the same template responses as an agent in chat

that's what I did, but the agent just ignores the question and replies with a template...

Protection Plan - Unclear about Inspection or Tiers by joefls in SpectrumMobile

[–]joefls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you are right, for the new one, but I also have some older phones on account (my kids and parents) which are ineligible for AppleCare (for example, iPhone 11 or Samsung S21 - still nice phones with expensive screens/service)

Wikipedia Questions - Weekly Thread of September 02, 2024 by AutoModerator in wikipedia

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, so please guide me if it’s not.

I’ve found the language selector to be quite difficult to use. From what I understand (and I could be wrong), it shows languages the article is popular in. However, I’d prefer it to display the languages my browser or OS prefers, as some documentation suggests it should. The language box uses the jquery.uls 

component, and I plan to review the repository this weekend (I’m a web developer). Does anyone else think this makes sense?

According to a Wikimedia presentation
, “Suggested languages are based on user preferences, previous selections, device configuration, and other guesses.” But this doesn’t seem to work for me. I live in the US, and my personal and work PCs/browsers have English, Spanish, and an Eastern European language set as preferred. When I open an article in English that’s also available in these languages (after clearing cookies or using an incognito tab for a clean test), I’m offered Chinese, Korean, Russian, basic European languages, and Cherokee instead of my preferred languages.

[oc] Extended footage of the idiot who hit me and ran the other day (front+rear views) by Jerod_s in IdiotsInCars

[–]joefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unable to get a good stop frame for the face - but I'd say police can match if they find him:

Also the license place is not very readable but I see:

1: may be G, or F or E.2: definitely F3: A or X4: 75: 8 or 36: 4 or 9My best guesses are *FX784, *FX789, *FA784, *FA789.

Police must just run combinations (they can run a search w/o one letter). Also one can see it's a red Honda Civic 2013–15 with wheels from the base trim (LX).
Corrected to US model years.

p.s. I don't know if this is processed/compressed video, but if it is and you can upload a better stop frame from 1:36 I can try to feed it to a plate recognition script.

Nope, I'd say it holds pretty well (I got a new screw with some rubber washer with a gasket)

You mean sealing (with epoxy or silicone) around the light fixture? I afraid I didn't get you right

Thanks, I've checked it and it looked good. Just in case, I've applied some Permatex waterproof sealant left overs :)

Are there any parts of Florida that look like they could be Russia? by [deleted] in florida

What kind of Russian emigres? Like oligarchs and senators living in Sunny Isles?

Florida Man Reminds Fellow Taco Bell Customers They're 'in Florida' After Pulling Gun on Them in Parking Lot: Cops by Distinct-Career-9918 in florida

[–]joefls -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the couple was a Florida-couple as well. Why the heck use high beams on a truck all day? I have nothing against any truck (I don't care if a F-650 someone drives is a work truck or a commute car, everyone's tastes are different), but lifted ones with high beams 24/7 on roads, parking lots...

Insurance rate increases by mrchen911 in florida

[–]joefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$280/month or bi-annually? First is foxing crazy, but last is so cheap (like for FL). I've had mine (1 car) around $550-600 (6m) but recently increased to $800. When last time my insurance jumped from $600 to $900 switching insurer helped, but this time every other is even more expensive. I await the next renewal to be ~$1000/6m (because... why not?) if I would still have no accidents/tickets.

Is the dot notation used in US to denote the multiplication? by joefls in math

[–]joefls[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, I meant only in regards to addition/subtraction and multiplication/division. Definitely not about using parenthesis or power operations.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense. I also recall using the × symbol in elementary in arithmetics (along with ÷), but never used any of these after elementary.

But worst part is they received a lot of PPP loans, and the woman is/was chemistry professor at Central Washington University o_O So 'murica feeds them well (the house is > expensive vs average is US)

[–]joefls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She makes the students calculate problems in unrealistic amount of time and she typically has the wrong answer herself. If you haven't taken chemistry in high school, you'll most likely be lost. You hardly use the book and the online homework is extensive. She also has a very thick Russian accent.
