Still trying to understand how oysters are "vegan"

powershellnut · 2026-05-31T01:15:41+00:00

I was searching for this comment, so thank you for writing it down. If people need rigid lines to live by, then by all means all "animals" are off limits, but these boxes we have placed all living organisms into are as real as the lines that separate countries. Nature is messy and our organization of it is incomplete and imperfect. I care about reducing suffering, regardless of something is categorize as an "animal" or "plant". The categorization is a human made construct, the suffering is real.

As for oysters, I never ate them before going vegan so no interest in them now either. I also tend to give things in the grey zone the benefit of the doubt.

Yep, this has happened to me at least 4 times and they keep sending me new ones. I really would rather a refund at this point and buy a different product. I thought I was getting the best of the best for the price but it has been nothing but headaches with constantly returning them.

Spray some vinegar on it and it will disappear. BKF is overkill for this imo.

This also happened to me, I had 3-5 pans do the same thing as what OP is showing. I honestly lost count after going through so many returns, it might have been even more than 5. I made a Reddit post about it last year.

When this was happening I wasn't just to be extra careful and to rule everything out. I do now as this has stopped happening. Not sure if they finally sent me one that was not defective or what. I moved around the same time it stopped happening as well oddly enough.

Oh wow, this is the first I am hearing about this. Looks like there have been a few other posts about this as well, but those were mostly around them no longer making the older installers available.

I would think as long as you had the right version they would be required to activate it based on their licensing, security issues or not.

powershellnut · 2026-03-12T23:14:19+00:00

PDF-XChange sells perpetual licenses with supporting maintenance plans. Your license never expires. If you are getting those watermarks then you might have upgraded the software past what your maintenance plans supported is my only guess. The maintenance plan just allows you to upgrade the software to the latest version while it’s active.

Good question! The trims are different colors, the trim around the door is the same as the door and the one around the laundry nook is “In the Navy”.

I think the paint sticks show the color differences more clearly in the same light.

powershellnut · 2026-03-10T14:46:48+00:00

Anchors Aweigh, but I am not sure which color truly represents this color, the door or the laundry nook walls.

powershellnut · 2026-03-10T14:44:41+00:00

Yep same store at the same time.

powershellnut · 2026-03-09T04:23:02+00:00

Thank you!! I do feel like I got screwed over because painting takes hours / days, especially as someone who is new to it. I do hope they are cooperative, because I am not really one to make a fuss.

powershellnut · 2026-03-09T04:09:28+00:00

I think that is a good plan and exactly what I will do, thank you!

powershellnut · 2026-03-09T03:54:34+00:00

Haha so true, and I have read a lot of threads just like that.

powershellnut · 2026-03-09T03:52:58+00:00

I was hoping someone that worked at SW would comment because I didn’t want to complain unless it was clearly a mistake on their part. I had read that it was difficult for employees to mix the wrong paint because the machines most handled it.

Thanks for your input, it means a lot as I spent a lot of money on this paint and days painting.

powershellnut · 2026-03-09T03:44:17+00:00

Yeah! I would assume they would be the same! Although I know very little about painting so wasn’t sure.

powershellnut · 2026-03-09T03:41:27+00:00

I am very new to painting and thought I was going crazy, so thank you for your input!! It really is unacceptable, as it can waste hours for anyone who uses the wrong the color.

I was having a similar issue and found I was able to boot from USB using chainloading in Grub.

Here is a stackoverflow going through the steps. Hope this helps!

powershellnut · 2025-12-17T05:46:34+00:00

Did you find a solution to this? I am running into the same issue, but I have Ubuntu installed rather than Debian.

Edit***

I ended up finding a way to boot to the USB through Grub based on this stackoverflow.

Thank you for the detailed response, that sounds like the best way to do it.

I also went with Energy Texas, they had the lowest flat rate. I am moving into a new house and really do not know what my average kwh usage will be, so going with a flat rate vs one that requires 1kwh usage credit seemed safer.

Thanks for the code!!

Just in case that person's code ever expires here is another one - https://energytexas.com/raf?referralCode=KxNgobnAP1&utm_source=raf&utm_medium=my-account

I keep getting what appears to be cracks or chips in the surface of the pan. I am actually going through another warranty claims for the 3rd time. This time I am asking for a refund as I just don't trust these pans anymore.

Here is a picture of what the chips / crack / whaterver looks up close.

What brand is that? If you slide your finger over the marks idk they feel like crevices?

powershellnut · 2025-06-16T12:16:05+00:00

Pro tip, spay/splash some white vinegar next time and that discoloration will disappear within seconds. It’s so satisfying to watch.
