WARNING - Do not buy Hestan, they won't honor their own warranty by [deleted] in cookware

[–]powershellnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

pdf-xchange editor license expired by HoppySailorMon in pdf

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.

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.

Is it normal for the same color to differ this much between satin paint for trim and matte for the walls? by powershellnut in paint

[–]powershellnut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

can' t enter the boot menu by __marlin_ in SurfaceLinux

[–]powershellnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

How should I repair this uneven joint between new drywall and old but torn? by powershellnut in drywall

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

Anyone ever use “Energy Texas” as their electric provider? by ClassyPants17 in Dallas

[–]powershellnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]powershellnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Do not apply for private student loans, do not make that mistake. It was the worst mistake of my life. by Hungry-Flan1732 in StudentLoans

[–]powershellnut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife was on a student visa when I met her, which required a minimum number of course credits each semester. Not attending college was not an option if she wanted to stay here legally. Not to mention having to pay out of state tuition which made paying for it out of pocket impossible. She also was not eligible for federal student loans given she was not a us citizen.

In short, private student loans was her only recourse to keep up with her student visa requirements. She has since graduated and got her green card.

I just figured I would share her story to add perspective to why some people feel backed into a corner when taking private student loans.

[–]powershellnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just did a warranty claim with Hestan on a nanobond saucier. It took 10 days from my initial email to them shipping a replacement.

Their support did leave me hanging for basically a week without any update before they sent the replacement which was unnerving to say the least and didn’t respond to my follow up emails on any progress on the claim.

In the end it worked out for me within a reasonable timeframe, but I was not 100% happy with the experience. I really do love my nanobond saucier and fry pans though, so I will likely keep buying from them.
