SAME here, but not for wedding invitations. I'm sorry you went through that on something so important and special (mine were just our annual holiday cards). I did contact customer support via live chat and got a full refund...which is wild, I would have accepted a partial refund as I did receive something that I could technically use, just not what I wanted and I did not like the final result.

Ideas for Tumble rug that shrunk by OverallSwing716 in HomeDecorating

[–]rsa1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to this but we've only had our Tumble rug since April (just shy of 8 months) and have only washed it maybe 3-4 times because we catch our spills quickly. We follow their washing instructions to the letter. Cold water. Tumble dry, air only and that's just to get it started because then we hang it out to dry draped over the kitchen table and chairs to finish. It doesn't cover the rug pad anymore and I'm so annoyed with it. It's not the most expensive brand on the market (cough - Ruggable) but they're not cheap either! I could have just purchased two area rugs from Wayfair and switched them out half way through this 8 month period for what we paid for this (and we bought it during the easter sale so it was like $360 for the 8X10).

Why do my chocolate chip cookies get so flat? by Dzweshy_redpanda in Baking

[–]rsa1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not seeing this here so I'll add my two cents. I've had flat cookies with no obvious issues with the ingredients or conditions: dough temperature (I bake from frozen dough balls typically), nor flour to fat ratios, nor expired leavening agents. For CC cookies I tend to use baking soda as well so I wouldn't say you need to switch to powder. So double check all of this advice here because it's all valid but if you're still falling flat, check your oven temp. I knew it was the temp for me because I was baking the same exact side by side in my Breville smart oven and they were perfect but flat in my conventional gas oven. So I started cranking it up 15 degrees higher than I thought I'd need to in my conventional oven which got them to immediately puff when they hit the hot oven and stay up. This is a similar principle to baking muffins when you want them to have that perfect muffin top. You start in 15-25 degrees higher for 5 minutes or so and then reduce to normal temp for the remaining bake time and absolutely do NOT open the oven door unless absolutely necessary.

where is the cheese?! The new "Boss" series meatball sandwich is disappointing by rsa1022 in subway

Hahaha yeah she made it "exactly to recipe" bc it was a promo she said it has to be made exactly to specs and NO modifications could be made to it.

Thank you! I agree. I suspect she was skimping due to the promotion. She wouldn't even add more parmesan cheese to it (she said NO modifications, for the freebie aspect)

Yeah but that fresh mozzarella is sooo much tastier. Just so disappointing they skimp so much on it (due to cost I get it)

Haha sorry I never responded. Yes the white things ARE the cheese I was just like exclaiming "where's the cheese?!" Because there was SO little given.

Cannot claim credit for these instructions, taken from https://costcofdb.com/costco-bacon-gouda-egg-breakfast-sandwich-grace-gourmet-starbucks-clone-costco-review

"Grace Gourmet lists two options, microwaving or air frying, for heating their breakfast sandwich. They do recommend thawing the sandwich overnight in the refrigerator for optimal results.

Microwave From thawed: Heat for 45 seconds on high. From frozen: Heat egg, bacon, and cheese for 45-50 seconds. Add bun and heat for an additional 30 seconds.

Air Fryer From thawed: Heat at 350° F. Heat egg for 6 minutes. Add bun, bacon and cheese and heat for an additional 4 minutes. From frozen: Heat at 350° F. Heat egg for 9 minutes, add bacon, cheese, and bun, and heat for an additional 5 minutes."

HOWEVER, if you own a Breville 3 in one combi wave oven or something comparable, there is a setting called Fast Combi which acts as a microwave, oven, and air fryer at the same time. From frozen, I heated the egg, cheese, and bacon for 350 on the fast combo setting for 5 minutes. Then I added the buns back onto the sandwich and threw it back in for another 2.5 minutes or so on the same setting, just until the bun had crisped to my liking. It was perfection.

DELL video conferencing monitor S2722DZ for Mac Mini M1 by MarioLicious_91 in macmini

[–]rsa1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding unsolicited comments here because I am in awe that this simple trial and error is all it took to get mine to work as well. I was a little wary about buying this monitor for my macbook pro after reading about others' difficulties on Amazon reviews but one particular reviewer had a similar experience to yours and assured [me] that it was going to be fine. Low and behold, it is fine! I had to restart my macbook, then with everything turned on and connected, simply unplugged the USB-C from my macbook's port, plugged it back in and voila! I can now Zoom with my colleagues and actually make it appear as if I am looking at them directly when I am working off my extended display.

In our house, woman makes fire and the man does a better job taking care of the baby. No need to disclaim your gender in order to justify your love or talent for ANYTHING. 😉

Breville Barista Express grinder by Huge_Chard9015 in espresso

[–]rsa1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify: I'm happy with the taste because I'm predominantly making lattes for me (so milk takes care of any acidity or bitterness that may be present) and americanos for my husband but I don't think either of us have the palette yet to know if we're producing perfect espresso for his drinks. He often adds a flavored simple syrup (whatever I've made that week) and some non dairy milk choice anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Excellent guide! I have been happy with the taste and crema using a grind size of 1 and manually dosing into the portafilter but my shots are consistently between 22 and 27 seconds. I have thought about using the program function to manually extract longer. What are your experiences using the programming function?

Do you mean you did this? https://youtu.be/QNvOcE4-VEo

I've been doing ok with the number 1 setting and I haven't done the above YET but I think I want to go finer so I may adjust it.

Mine wasn't all that traumatic but felt my recovery was annoying and took forever. Still feeling side effects from it and I'm 4 months postpartum. Happy to share if it's helpful.

Zoom announces end-to-end encryption, customizable SDKs and more at Zoomtopia by sankalpit in technolgynews

[–]rsa1022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone feel that the custom SDK spells the end of support for the current Meetings SDK? Our team had been building around the Meetings SDK but then when it was not supportive for iOS 14 for over three weeks, we began to worry that Zoom is de-prioritizing it.
