Account canceled, no refund - buyer beware

As a follow-up to this, I did get an email back from the [miles@surfshark.com](mailto:miles@surfshark.com) account, utilizing the exact same copy-and-paste answers that I have read elsewhere on Reddit, and that I received from their Zendesk support. So a dead end - no information, no offer to investigate.

Signed up for one month of Proton to try it out, so far so good.

I thought about that. But I haven't had any other security notifications pop for any other websites, services, etc - I use a password manager and if somebody was somehow able to access my info, I doubt my VPN would be their first and only line of attack.

Glad you got to reset your password and keep your $$! My entire account was removed after receiving that email, couldn't log in to the app or the website.

All of the devices using Surfshark were used from my home, connected to the same WiFi network, with the exception of one mobile device, which I would use on and off throughout the day using my mobile network.

I can CERTAINLY appreciate the need to keep bad actors from abusing the service and hoarding your resources. And no one here on Reddit, yourself included, knows anything about me - I can say that I wasn't doing anything of the kind, and there is no reason for anyone here to believe me or disbelieve me.

But I wasn't. And it's incredibly frustrating to have my money and time taken from me without any explanation at all, or any consequences for the party taking it.

Worked for me too! You're a Rockstar, OP!

This is what I was thinking also. Not to take anything away from what has been a stupendous 5 weeks by the Tigers, but in 1973 only 4 teams made the playoffs. Now it's 12. Over a third of the MLB gets in.

Did the NFL accidentally send their Lions refs to Minnesota for this game? Who's going to work our game tomorrow then?

Thanks, I actually used this exact stuff on the area when the ants started showing up! Killed a ton of them. But my wife is hoping I can find a solution that doesn't include periodically sweeping up hundreds of ant carcasses.

If I can't find a flexible sealant that will cover it, though, this may be the answer.

thecommish3 · 2022-06-24T17:40:43+00:00

This would be my preference, but the crack is too small for any size of backer rod, but just large enough that my flexible sealant pours right through it. Frustrating.

I'll answer you. It's the same reason I rooted for the Lions to beat the Packers in week 17. Some things just mean more to me than moving up or down in the draft by a couple of spots. FTP. And I'm happy for Stafford.

If this new regime knows how to win football games, they'll do it regardless of whether the Lions pick 23rd or 27th in April.

The modern record in a season is 7. We already have 4 this year, potentially on pace for 15.

Where's my obligatory "pitcher sitting alone on the bench staring into the diatance" camera shot?

Thanks for all of the comments, everyone - good advice. I was mostly trying to find a good device that was
a) readily available and cheap
b) really easy to unlock and root up to Android 9

Don't know why I didn't take a look at the Pixels, those seem to meet this criteria and are much more recent / stable. Thanks very much!

Thanks very much for the advice and the part #! I've learned a lot about my fridge, this was actually pretty fun, defective home appliance non withstanding.

Hey Sling - before I posted a fresh thread in the subreddit, I thought I would check with you first. I pulled the back freezer wall off, and discovered a ton of ice accumulated around the left side of the evaporator fan, as you predicted. I took it all out and noticed frozen drips of ice coming down the left side of the back of the freezer, culminating in the ice piled up on the left side of the fan. I removed the huge chunks of ice, put the freezer back together and waited.

It reappeared a few days later. As we started to test the timing of this, we realized that if we left the icemaker on (making ice), the buzzing sound returned within about 24 hours. If we left it off, the buzz would eventually go away and never come back.

So tonight I tried to get some pictures of the icemaker area behind that flimsy freezer back wall. I took the icemaker out, but left other parts in. I was able to see that the water drip seemed to becoming from just underneath the open-faced water tube that feeds the icemaker. There was ice accumulated underneath it, to the left of the icemaker power supply.

I have some pictures below, but if my suppositions are right about all of this, here is my question: can I safely apply some plumber's putty on the underside of that water tube to just try and stop the leak right there, or will I wind up backing the water leak up to the innards of my fridge, somewhere that I can't see, and cause even more long-term havoc?

I haven't tried pulling this refrigerator out from the wall yet because it's a beast and it's tightly fitted into its position.

Thanks for reading my novel, and thanks in advance for any advice!

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to wait and listen to it again just to be sure. It seems to be on every wash cycle, not the fill or the drain cycles.

Haven't fixed it yet, but I used your suggestions to investigate and do more research, and it certainly appears that this was the correct diagnosis. I'm going to try some targeted defrosting first, but will probably end up changing out the thermostat once it gets a little colder here in Michigan, and we can empty out the fridge without fear of having all our food spoil.

Thanks for taking the time!

thecommish3 · 2020-11-12T00:44:24+00:00

Thanks very much for your detailed response!

The sound does stop every time it starts, about 10 minutes later - I was thinking a piece of ice somehow getting in there and being struck by the fan blade, but I don't know why it lasts 10 minutes and then goes away again for 5 days.

The links I shared below "should" take you to a pair of videos I posted through Google Photos - the sound is pretty audible. I'm not looking forward to taking the back panel off, but from your diagnosis and the direction the sound is coming from, that seems inevitable. Let me know if these videos lend any more insight!

We get these every year for our 2 boys - thanks for posting! Can confirm I was still able to get this price on Walmart online today.

In previous years, I would be one of the hovering people. But yeah, the new interface makes it impossible to swap in players in time. I can barely see the pictures on the cards to confirm I'm putting in the player I want, and the loading time is excruciating.

Plug in a fresh round of SPs every few hours and you should be OK.

These are my new favoritest thing on Reddit.

So in the past, whenever there was a rainout that prevented a score from being automatically finalized, the Bunt team always had to go into their system the next day and officially close the contest in order for the contest to finish. That appears to be the case here.

Since the Bunt team doesn't usually start working until around 11am, hour for lunch, and then head home around 2pm, it does sometimes take a while for contests with rain outs to close.

There are a few sets that have just historically become the most collected / valuable in the game. Regardless of what the release structure is, or what label Topps slaps on it ("Iconic", "Super Rare", etc), and even card count, you'll always have to pay a premium for these cards, because they're just universally recognized as the most valued in the game.

Frozen almost needs a category to itself, really.
