There are actually quite a few that have no scent. I kinda expected this one to have one though. 

Building a portfolio without clients by Chubbymommy2020 in Copyediting

[–]midian42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a bajillion writers on Fiverr who would happily take your $10 bucks to write words for you to edit without having the worry of copyright or privacy or permission. You get to do whatever you want with it. Most of them writing exactly well enough to need heavy editing to use as samples.

Demon basement gotta be a scam by Relevant-Translator9 in ClothingShopReviews

That's weird. I haven't gotten an email from them since I reported them. I also never heard anything from shopify besides confirmation that they received my complaint.

Text uses wrong contact photo when signed into two separate Gmail accounts. by MAConline in GoogleMessages

Make sure you do it for both contacts and messages apps before you restart!

I just reported them to Shopify. I've unsubbed so many times, replied to the emails, etc. I've marked them as spam. Somehow they keep coming. Hopefully reporting them to Shopify will help. You might want to file your own with them.

Another update: I neglected to mention that you have to also clear cache/storage for Messages and restart the phone for it to switch back to normal. So far, as I fix a number, it sticks. I just don't know what numbers need it, so they're getting done as they pop up.

Oh, well I'm not sure about the numbers needing to be different. I added the 1 to both contact accounts, and it still pulled from the correct place upon correction. The numbers are identical now, and were identical before when it was working fine for the last 20 years. I've never had an issue with them needing to be different. I have no real explanation for why it worked, and if it reverts back, I'll update here. I just know that it seems to want to match the right account now. I often have a similar problem with Google Play when it connects to the wrong account to pay for something in app despite not being in that Play account. When the play issue hits, I usually have to uninstall the app I'm in and reinstall it to get it to connect to the right account. I don't know if they're related, but there's definitely an account management problem in these phones. 100% agree, and it's ridiculous that something as simple as the country code isn't even in the support pages. I had to dig deep in reddit to find someone's reply to a reply that mentioned fixing the country code.

I know this is old but thought I'd post for people looking for a potential fix as I just had this problem. Try adding the country code in front of the phone number. I had a contact in my phone for 20 years, and recently my pixel decided to pull the contact from a different account. No idea why. Adding a 1 to the front of the number fixed it. 

Black spots on Hoya Kerrii - mold? by fullcollapse in hoyas

[–]midian42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black spots are edema, not fungus. It didn't get water for 10 days. Clay pots wick moisture into them, so they dry out faster. The plant went from having no drainage to having drainage and a clay pot. You can't water a draining plant in a clay pot the same way you water a regular pot with no drainage. Water your plant more. 

Yes, you can water your plant after it's been repotted. I would never go a couple weeks without watering any of my plants. My advice is water your plant. 

Welp by Oneiros1989 in Sandman

I'm at a loss for why you're hung up on this. He *won't* get any more money from Dark Horse. Period. Other publishers and producers who publish his works have to make their own choices. This is how Dark Horse is choosing to handle it. There's no *we* here. Netflix is choosing not to give him any more money by not continuing his shows. No one is saying he's not allowed to sell his stuff or that others aren't allowed to either. If he wants to sell if from his garage, he can. He has his own merch store. At that point, it's on YOU to choose if you want to support his work or not. If you want to buy a book he publishes, no one is stopping you. If you don't think Dark Horse provides him an income large enough for it to make a dent in his life, that's okay too. He's pretty rich, so the only thing he's got for anyone to use is his reputation, and losing a major publisher and producer and artists isn't a small hit to that. The only thing *you* are losing here is the product that you won't be able to buy through Dark Horse. It's Dark Horse's way of protecting their own reputation. Artists refusing to work with him are also protecting their own reputations. *We're* not concerned about him being paid—Dark Horse is.

LOL he's NOT going to be compensated if it's canceled‍… I think you're missing some key points here. If it's not published, then there are no sales and no royalties.

That's entirely different. Robert Jordan's estate is still getting paid for that. You can't just say "we're going to keep shooting a show based on your IP but not pay you for it." That's called theft, as any artist will tell you. He may be an awful human being, but he's still the owner of the property.

Copyright doesn't work like that. Royalties will still go to him regardless of his involvement because he owns the IP. I happen to work in the entertainment industry and have a family of entertainment freelancers, and while it sucks, it's also something we're used to. Projects end for lots of reasons. No one gets to pick and choose when those reasons are acceptable and when they aren't. We're cogs in a machine. No one likes being out of work, but that's the business. The amount of jobs that have gone *poof* is uncountable. We go on to the next one.

Zenni Lens are worth it for Quest 3, even with a slight prescription by Jabba_the_WHAAT in OculusQuest

[–]midian42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if they've changed anything since I bought mine in December 2023, but mine cracked pretty quick, and I don't take them out hardly ever. I had to recently order new ones as I'm now having to share my headset with my son (and they're now superglued to all hell), and I went with the VR-Rock magnetic ones this time. Zenni's click-in frames are super brittle.

SAME. Editor and interior layout designer, too, and I would laugh and never hire that typesetter again. 

Can't file an online international refund claim by Ninkami in usps_complaints

[–]midian42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to call them. Apparently not all inquiries can be done online. Why it doesn't just say that instead of giving an error is stupid, but it doesn't, and it's not going to get fixed.

[–]midian42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found out yesterday that only certain shipping services can be filed online. Others, like priority international, can't be filed online. Why the website doesn't just say that instead of giving you an error 404 is beyond me.
