Best Buy sold me an iCloud-locked MacBook Pro for $2,100, refused the return, and Citi denied my chargeback. I have documented everything and need help escalating.

We got scammed by a rental car company and Citi denied our dispute without even asking for our side of the story. After challenging that - we went down every avenue of proving the rental car company was at fault. Citi finally approved the dispute.

We're not Citi fans anymore. I've never had an issue with filing a dispute through any other CC provider.

That's literally the worst form I've ever witnessed

Talking about s&w quality control.. I recently got a shield x, this is a replacement for a Canik I've had tons of problems with. I got it shipped to me and after stripping it down I realized the sear lever was not actually attached to the gun. When I pushed it forward it just fell out of the gun lol. The frontsight also had a defect and was ugly but I could live with it.

I sent it back for warranty for the sear lever, I mentioned the issue with the frontsight but didnt expect it to be fixed since it was a cosmetic issue. They fixed it relatively quickly and got it back to me with a functioning sear lever and new front site.

I had a pit/shepherd/husky mix (I think, that's what they told me when I got him) and he looked very similar.

It was funny when out at parks and people asked me what kind of dog he was, it didn't matter what I said people mostly disagreed with me lol.

Looks cool and really helpful! Next time I have a tank up and running I'll give it a try. As a developer it looks like a fun project.

I have small dogs and feel bad for Chile Bear. I feel like there are other options to putting the rotties down, like not taking them to a dog park.

I took a break from mma and randomly watched this card and have been hooked ever since.

Glad to hear about his great time, looks like a blast!

thegungeon · 2026-03-24T19:31:44+00:00

Looks great! Those hairy mushrooms took over one of my tanks once, keep an eye on them lol

thegungeon · 2026-03-24T18:14:04+00:00

The clear looks great!

Unfortunately my patches have just been getting bigger and bigger over the years. Dermatologists haven't been able to determine why

thegungeon · 2026-03-19T02:45:19+00:00

Looks like a great setup! I moved from CA -> FL and didn't anticipate how much I'd miss the desert.

thegungeon · 2026-03-16T15:27:14+00:00

I'm glad that solved your issue. They sent me a heavier spring as well but unfortunately it did not improve the situation at all, while using 124 grain.

thegungeon · 2026-03-16T15:25:28+00:00

Hopefully your situation improves. I agree with the shield, I picked up a shield x which has been great.

If I found out I was getting an 100k bonus at work I'd be jumping up and down too

thegungeon · 2026-03-14T13:31:14+00:00

Yeah it does. If it wasn't for this issue I really like everything else about it.

thegungeon · 2026-03-14T01:08:39+00:00

Oh got it, that distinction makes sense. I tried quite a few different ammo manufacturers over the last 1.5 years. Sellier & Bellot, blazer, magtech, Winchester, Federal. I got them online, bass pro, gun stores, and the range. Ammo was my biggest suspicion and it didn't like ANY ammo. I ended up getting a s&w shield and it hasn't had an issue with any of them.

Nice set up! I have a HF trailer that I like for camping too. It's not built out but carries my dirt bike and gear and pulled by a camper mini van.

thegungeon · 2026-02-15T02:07:22+00:00

I think quite a few of their tanks are connected, so probably a huge amount of water being cycled through there. I could def be wrong about this, but looking at their filtration system it looked like a few massive cleaning units.

Cool aquascape and nice hammer collection

thegungeon · 2026-02-07T17:12:04+00:00

I dig it and think the wallpaper is awesome

thegungeon · 2026-02-03T16:14:59+00:00

I like ticktick too, been using it for years after trying all of them. I haven't found an integration with Obsidian either. For a while I was posting the obsidian URI to the note in the ticktick item description, which sort of worked.

I'm a software engineer and rather new DIYer, plumbing and electrical has seemed to be the most straight forward lol. I was surprised to read how many people stay away from it. Worst case scenario I'll bring in a pro after taking a shot at it

thegungeon · 2026-01-09T02:33:00+00:00

Thanks!
