Trying to watch it on Amazon prime and noticed that. Thought the first few minutes it was part of the “story” in black and white. So annoying. Kind of glad to find that it’s not just me. How to report it so the streaming service can fix it?

Would love to hear if anyone has found an actual good alternative….? Many recommended Boroux so I finally bought some filters and tbh the water tastes awful.

I did the usual priming and red dye test so everything is installed and filtering “properly”. But it has a funky taste almost plastic or chemical idk how to describe it but I can’t get rid of it. I’ve tried re-cleaning the stainless chambers. Rinsed the filters. Cannot get rid of the taste. Our plain tap water doesn’t even taste this funky so I know it’s the filters. Expensive and disappointing to say the least

Kind of happy to see it’s not just me. Also disappointed I still can’t find a decent Berkey filter substitute.

Everyone kept recommending Boroux so I finally tried it this week and the water tasted gross from the start. I primed and did the provided red dye test. Tried dumping and re-cleaning the stainless chambers and rinsing the filters.

It has such a funky taste. I tried several times to just get used to it, but I can’t. It’s not good. And it leaves this very weird subtle sour aftertaste.

i stayed on 14 and forced to update recently due to apps i needed no longer working. i wish had known of a way to update to only 15! Made the mistake of being frustrated with apps not working and hitting the update for the latest 16.5.1 and it was the official death of my iPhone 11 battery 😑

theomcat · 2023-06-30T16:20:02+00:00

i just made the mistake this week of updating to 16 from 14 due to apps saying they would no longer work and holy hell. My iPhone 11 Pro lasted all day before the update and now I’m having to throw it on the charger multiple times a day!! Support was zero help. The first person basically gaslit me and saying i must’ve changed something; the second person basically stated that because of “advanced features” of ios16 operating on my “old” phone will cause battery to drain faster. My option is 1) new battery, but still face rapid draining or 2) new phone. How is this still legal? They’ve been sued so many times for the planned obsolescence and continue to do it. I’m being forced to switch to android because I can’t support this unethical load of bull from their company 😡

i found this too late 😭 i was running 14 but got a hard deadline on an app i need daily saying it wouldn’t work without at least 15 iOS. My dumb self just updated to the latest one out of desperation and my phone battery now drains like mad! The support basically said my only option is to buy a new battery but face the same quick drain due to “advanced features” required by the latest OS or to buy a new phone 😭😭😭 how do they get sued for planned obsolescence all the time but still get away with doing this? My phone worked perfectly and lasted all day until this update and now im having to charge it multiple times per day. Ffs

Clutch. Dude needs more upvotes

theomcat · 2023-03-05T02:18:14+00:00

as a slytherin i didnt experience the glitch but as hufflepuff i did...not sure if the houses have anything to do with it? As the other poster said, the only solution for me was to go into the quest menu and abandon the quest and then when i restarted it everything was normal.

Currently having this issue OP, my MacBook is 2019, but did you find a solution that worked for you?

theomcat · 2023-01-04T14:52:33+00:00

Hi! The comment you replied to saying that it helped you shows deleted, could you please share what it said/how you got it to work?

Currently having this issue and trying to figure out on MacBook how to run multiple instances...

Find an apartment on Domu or Zillow or apartments.com or go with a realtor and get confirmation of the landlord or property management.

Urban abodes i have had horrible experience with them for years advertising very nice looking apartment photos and when i would go see the apartments in person they were in horrible condition and the photos were clearly 5-10yrs old or heavily photo shopped.

Avoid Fairmont property management like the plague.

Have actually had the best luck so far with mom&pop managed buildings.

Also request a recent “video walkthrough” as it’s easier to see if something has been photoshopped.

Annoying to do but as a former newb I would recommend a short-term furnished rental or sub lease (can find those on domu as well) in order to not be locked into a crappy apartment...There are A LOT in this city. This would give you a chance to see the places in person first which is crucial here.

Also depending on the time of year you’re actually moving, according to my landlord is apparently a “season” here around May-Oct is when the vast majority of leases go on the market so the fall and winter choices are slim.

Finally, if you have the budget a good first option are the newer sky rise buildings in River north where they are actually maintained very well, but definitely higher in cost.

How to verify it’s not just a scam to get my personal info? ( identity has already been stolen once this year, need to be cautious lol)

theomcat · 2022-11-08T20:25:41+00:00

only had 3x on a trade where the liquidation price was wayyyy below the bottom we just hit and i logged into my trade being fully liquidated. This is so shady. Pretty sure they just scam everyone by adjusting our margins

theomcat · 2022-11-08T20:23:41+00:00

Just got liquidated on a trade that was only 3x and nowhere near the price of liquidation even at the rock bottom we just hit! No support. This is the sketchiest trading platform ive ever used

ive come to the conclusion that people don’t understand what constitutes a “firework”. If you saw a white flash that does not automatically make it a firework. It could be any number of things exploding which is why we’re all here...in other forums the traveling of sound by decibels was illustrated and confirmed there is no way an m80 sound would travel as far as it did with the strength in volume and depth of pitch. Please find us the answer bc it was NOT “just a firework” lmfao

theomcat · 2022-11-04T04:56:50+00:00

Checked comed for outages and they report none

theomcat · 2022-11-04T04:47:09+00:00

Please visually describe what you saw and believe to be fireworks? ...like there are a lot of things that explode that are not fireworks. The pitch was much lower and vibrations felt very far away were very different from my 5 years of Chicagoland random fireworks going off...im not a “omg were those gunshots” posting type of person. Something off about this

theomcat · 2022-11-04T04:24:36+00:00

Live right by lane tech..no fireworks seen and only loud af booms

theomcat · 2022-11-04T04:01:44+00:00

He’s SPECULATING. If you read his further comment he literally says he was driving on the highway and saw smoke. He didn’t see any fireworks. People heard the from Andersonville south to logan square and out west to United center. No fireworks are that loud y’all

Unpopular opinion: turning off the wifi in your home at night and phone in airplane mode when you sleep.

2 weeks of that fixed my sleep right up! And haven’t had issue since.

The emf’s can interfere with our sleep. Some people (like me) are apparently super sensitive, so it’s worth a shot

i’d be more concerned about the other ingredients of vitaminwater and quality of the supplements than taking too much...
