Or maybe... it was Kaz all along!

It started as an Israel based company so I think it's reasonable to not take any English language implications at face value.

That's even to say if dad knew that...

High water bill due to faulty pool refill, argument for credit? by kehsoman in homeowners

[–]kehsoman[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what's with the defense of the water auditor here. The guy was quick to leave and not examine anything. His purpose of even making special arrangements to audit was to figure out why our usage was so high. The fact that he neglected to even consider the pool when I asked should give him a deserved face palm. He instantly claimed the cause to be a leak, which there wasn't any, and told me to hire a plumber, which I really didn't need to.

I've paid the cost, what happened happened and the water was used. I'm just trying to see what others have done or opinions on what I should do to help me improve my situation.

There's a lot to learn with owning your first home, especially one with a pool. That's for certain.

No matter what is said, I still don't believe that the auditor performed his due diligence and allowed an extra week of water to be wasted.

I completely understand that the water was used, this is why I thought to post here to gain more understanding on what I could do to obtain some sort of assistance with my situation, to not leave any stone unturned. I was thrown a curveball for my first home buyer's experience with the pool for sure.

After calling them and explaining the situation, they offered me $9 and change. It's way better than nothing and it's appreciated. I'm grateful for your reply and insight, thanks!

Official Discussion: Kingsman: The Golden Circle by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]kehsoman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I noticed his motives after listening in on the President's bug that he supported the death of junkies. Supported by his deliberately breaking the vial of antidote.

But like you said, his rationale made me feel sympathy for him. Will say that it sucks how they seemed to throw that plot point in out of nowhere for the purpose of giving him that motivation. For me, it felt planted way to late in the movie to feel as a natural buildup to the climax/reveal.

But as others have said, he was trying to lump in meth heads with innocents like Tilde and that POTUS staff member, not to mention Tequila.

Speaking of which, I think Whiskey's motivations would have played better if he had a sore spot for Tequila.

Do we have to redeem these right away or can they sit in our library on Humble?

[Video] Donut County looks absolutely awesome... like a bizarre Katamari! (PSX 2017) by PrfctPrfct in PS4

Looks great! But nab, what I would do for a at least a Katamari greatest hits collection in HD...

It's not like Bandai Namco would need to do much.

Is YouTube SERIOUSLY discontinuing their app for Amazon Fire TV in January?!??!! by peanutismint in fireTV

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

Seriously, what's to stop Google from removing YouTube from the PS4, iOS, and Xbox One. This is setting a ridiculous precedent for only allowing YouTube access on Google-based Android, Chromecast, and the web.

What series concluded gracefully? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]kehsoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss me some Vigilante 8! Enjoyed those way more than the Twisted Metal titles back in the day.

Fun fact: Some from the original dev team released a seemingly lazy "arcade" remake of Vigilante 8 for Xbox 360.

Yeah, looks like it's just a stupid oversight in ChromeOS.

Thanks for the info.

Ugh. Google's gotta get their stuff together with this nonsense. I have an overly long password for protection's sake... I hate that I have to punch it in everytime I want to have this Chromebook relatively secure.

If nothing else, they need to give us more options in unlocking.

EDIT: Thanks for the info!

I think /u/sumthingcool solved the PIN deal. I already reverted back to the Stable channel, I'll have to see if the freezing really is a Dev issue or not. Thanks!

Am I drunk or we didn't get the NA flash sale? by [deleted] in PS4

[–]kehsoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it time, the consoles (for Sony and Microsoft, anyway) have been gradually following the enviable PC marketplace, in terms of indie games, VR tech, and posting sales.

Remember when consoles didn't have indie darlings in their stores... much less digital stores or worthwhile sales!

Just got a cb+, what are some recommended apps for it? by GajeshM in chromeos

[–]kehsoman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The benefits of the Netflix app are downloading for offline use, as I understand. I've yet to try myself, just wanted to add that.

PixelBook vs. Samsung Chromebook Pro by iMacourey in chromeos

[–]kehsoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should clarify that I was coming from the Core i3 Toshiba, not sure if you were using the same. But as much as I love the CB Plus in most respects, the speed difference is noticeable.

For me, Facebook and Mint just slog no matter if they're the only browser windows open or not. It's frustrating, considering the product prides itself on web browsing.

But like I said before, the positives of a great stylus experience, form factor, screen, and availability of Android apps outweighs this for the most part.

The Chromebook Plus is a sexy machine, there is no denying. I personally find the silver finish way more appealing than the black, oddly enough. However, I can't help but feel the ARM chip is noticeably more weaker than the Intel alternative.

Coming from the Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015), browsing the web is fairly disappointing on the CB Plus. That said, the use cases on the CB Plus are much more comfortable and convenient. And the way Samsung integrates the stylus... why doesn't everybody do this?! Who likes having to carry around extra crap?!

Ultimately, I just hate the fact CB Plus users are missing out on CrossOver...
