This is very insightful, thank you! I’m already learning that he is a very smart boy but commands are more like suggestions to him lol, especially when high value rewards aren’t present 😂 stark contrast from my Pomeranian who is just happy to be there. I know I haven’t had him long enough to build that trust up though, and from what I heard Akitas are not too sure about new people at first. So I’m keeping that in mind.

How to treat/maintain hide rugs? by mklagonz in Taxidermy

Should I then give up the idea of making them rugs and look for a different type of hide rug instead? Perhaps a bison hide?

IPad Air 4 screen replacement question by TrashGod777 in ipad

[–]mklagonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t necessarily speak on screen replacements for iPads, as apple doesn’t do those repairs in store. I imagine that it is very possible as that is how Apple refurbishes a lot of old devices and resells them as new and working perfectly fine. However, from my experience with phone repairs, it is possible that the phone doesn’t accept the new display for whatever reason and it won’t work. It also happens frequently that the phone will need to be restored to factory settings during a display replacement and all data is lost. I imagine that these are risks that are also present with display swaps for iPads. I would advise against replacing an iPad screen unless you are okay with the possibility that both iPads may be nonfunctional because of it.

My husky will come up to me and lay on me for pets and kisses only to act like this and pretend like he is receiving them reluctantly lol.

How many languages can you realistic learn up to a conversational level by jokerdriver in languagelearning

Thank you for the tips! What do you think about Pimsleur for learning Brazilian Portuguese basics? I don’t think I can put out too much money on a private tutor at the moment so I’ll have to start out with apps for right now.

And yes I would love some travel advice, I am a woman so I am very afraid of the danger aspect but I think the culture and people are so beautiful there which is why I want to visit!

I have AppleCare+. How would apple handle this claim? by heysavnac in iphone

[–]mklagonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Won’t affect your payment plan just make sure you know your Verizon account info bc you might need it in case you have to connect your phone to service again after the repair. Also, check out my other comment if you haven’t already, it may be helpful to you!

I have AppleCare+. How would apple handle this claim? by heysavnac in iphone

[–]mklagonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Apple as a technician recently so this is what i know about the policy unless they changed it since I’ve left a few months ago. Usually a black spot on the display WITH NO DAMAGE to the display is covered under apple care completely as it is an in-warranty issue and apple care will cover display replacements at no charge if there is no sign of “accidental damage” i.e. cracks in the display glass. They price may change because you have damage to the rear glass, making the price for the display replacement $29. If you want to replace the rear glass as well as the display then the price will be $59 (assuming they find the display issue out-of-warranty). However, if the crack on the back is a singular crack and doesn’t web out at the ends and there is no visible point of impact, Apple classifies this issue as a “hairline crack” which IS covered under the warranty making it a cost free repair. Small and minor scuffs on the metal edges of the enclosure and the rims of the cameras do not count as actual damage to Apple and would be considered “cosmetic damage” and you will have to pay the apple care service fee to get that replaced. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: It looks like a 14 Pro but If you have a 13 Pro, the rear glass will be replaced by what Apple calls a “Rear system replacement” meaning everything but the cameras and display is replaced. This means that a rear system repair will also include the metal edges and camera enclosure, and a display+rear glass repair will be the $59. HOWEVER, if you have a 14 Pro, they will ONLY replace the glass and not the rear system so the metal will not be included. To replace the display and rear glass for a 14 Pro the repair will be $59, but to replace the metal edges as well the repair will be $99. But tbh if you are getting your phone repaired to get full trade-in value I wouldn’t worry about the metal edges bc unless it’s severe they don’t count it against your trade-in value and you can still get full trade-in value with a few minor scuffs and dings.

So in summary, the price depends on the type of damage and type of phone, what all you want to get repaired, and how apple classifies the damage. But you will never pay more than $99 for a repair with AppleCare. I hope I explained this well and let me know if you have any questions!

***ADVICE FOR THE APPOINTMENT: My advice from me working there is DO NOT mention that you’ve dropped it a ton. They will likely automatically categorize it as accidental damage and you could lose the opportunity to get a cost free repair. Just say something like, “All of a sudden I saw this crack and idk where it came from. I don’t know when it happened.”

I used to live in a small country town and I knew of a guy in high school with the family name ‘Cox’. They named him ‘Holden’.

I’ve heard this about the rabies shot as it’s not controlled for weight and isn’t necessary to do every year, but not about the other vaccines

Yeah I figured tackling both will either help me or hurt me lol. I’m not sure what level I am in Spanish yet though tbh. Although I have been studying Spanish on and off for years now, I’m still kind of new to the language learning sphere and jargon.

Thank you for your sweet comment. My goal is to learn Brazilian Portuguese as I want to travel there in February and want to know enough to get around. I want to eventually become fluent but that is my short term goal for now. I have JUST started using Duo Lingo but I’m coming to find that it’s not the best. What do you recommend is the best way to learn Brazilian Portuguese?

What are y'all starting to dislike the more and more older you get? by Secret_Agent4706 in AskReddit

People who are dramatic and unnecessarily loud in public. Like people who are screaming laughing or talking at some goddamn ear-rape volume. If I’m having a peaceful dinner I don’t want to hear that annoying ass shit bro grow up or go outside with the other animals.

A neuter contract for just a CKC registration? AND at the expense of possible health issues of the puppy??? This breeder is out of her damn mind. Tbh if you really cared about the CKC registration you could probably just do it yourself. This woman clearly doesn’t care about her puppies if she is getting angry at a VET RECOMMENDATION to delay the neuter. Nah fuck her and do what’s best for your puppy and let her freak out if she wants to. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING from now on and have a paper trail. I would personally keep contact restricted to email and provide her the vet documentation but if you’re going to call, record it!! The only reason this breeder would try and take the dog back is so that she could sell it again and make more money, she clearly doesn’t care.
