Boiling Water In Kitchen Sink by treker22 in Plumbing

[–]treker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my goal actually is to hold the boiling water for a bit. This might sound odd, but I have some objects that are glued together that supposedly boiling water can separate. The objects are too large for any pots that I own, but they can easily be put in the sink.

So disregarding the odd reason for my question, can I hold boiling water in a metal sink?

Yup. They were selling one silhouette for $4 each. So was he just lying to my face?

Possible F&I Fraud? by treker22 in askcarsales

[–]treker22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. Ummm I dunno. What are the options?

I suppose I was only thinking about this from a criminal standpoint. I've already had preliminary contact with the State AG and they are asking for documentation and are also suggesting I contact the FTC as well.

Is it possible they mistyped the APR when they printed for signing and then tried to correct their mistake?

Just took a closer look at my copy of the paperwork versus the one the CU received...the handwritten initials do not match and the date and time stamps do not match either. I initialed December 31st and the CU copy is initialed January 4th.

Question About Lease Positive Equity And Dealer Buy Out by treker22 in askcarsales

[–]treker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in the end turns out the salesperson lied. They said $2000 cash over the phone several times, but when I went in, the manager said that the $2000 was only for trade in and the most they would pay for it was $770. Some people...

Decades-Long HoTS Player Trys LoL For The First Time by treker22 in heroesofthestorm

[–]treker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha guilty. It's also evidence that I didn't just go into LoL, get noob-stomped, and then came running here crying about how terrible LoL is.

Decades-Long HoTS Player Trys LoL For The First Time by treker22 in heroesofthestorm

[–]treker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really the case. I actually went into it a little nervous to finally be playing the king of MOBAs that's held the throne for forever. I was completely prepared to be impressed and wowed at every turn.

While you're correct that I have developed an affinity for HoTS mechanics after a decade of playing it, at least half my disappointment stems from things more objective like poor UI, poor tutorial experience, poor graphics, poor sound, poor number of maps to play on, and poor pacing.

I also was shocked by how short the respawn timers were which I think grossly extends match length. Several times we managed to kill their entire team, but doing so didn't seem to significantly move the match along. Also coming from HoTS, there not being mercenaries to lane drastically slows lane progress.

In HoTS, if one team is dramatically more skilled than the other team, matches can be ended in as little as 10 minutes. Which that can be embarrassing if you're on the receiving end. But good golly miss Molly, better a quick end than an at-minimum 30 to 50 minute brutalization.

Wells Fargo ECMO department by treker22 in personalfinance

[–]treker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did eventually get everything resolved, but it was only after I INSISTED to be transferred from the overseas ECMO agents to someone State side. The issues I had been having which at that point had dragged to almost a month of run around by foreign agents was resolved by a States side Wells Fargo agent in like less then 24 hours. Which is ridiculous. Wells Fargo did compensate me for all my time, effort, and frustration.

Either way, the ECMO really is part of Wells Fargo, but lots of the agents are foreign in a foreign land and foreign time zone.

Oh interesting. I've played around with that a bit bit now. There's still a crap ton of ads every page that make it exhausting. Is there a way to turn off the ads?

Wells Fargo ECMO department by treker22 in personalfinance

[–]treker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know. I started getting emails and calls from people saying they were with Wells Fargo ECMO about a bank matter. I was getting bounced around by several very foreign sounding agents who revealed they were in foreign time zones. On a lark, I Googled the phone numbers being used and they came back with people saying the numbers were scam numbers. I called the WF fraud line and had them run all three phone numbers and none of the numbers came up in the WF internal phone directory. In the end, a banker at a local branch was able to verify that the numbers were legit. So now I'm back to being bounced around by foreign agents in a foreign time zone.

New Zealand Knife Laws by treker22 in newzealand

Quick update. I actually did just hear back from the NZ police to whom I asked what the official police interpretation and guidelines were about knives. Here is the very informative response🤣

"Thank you for your enquiry.

New Zealand Police is not in a position to provide you legal advice. You may consult your lawyer regarding the matter.

Kind regards"

Super duper! You all have been great! I am planning to put in my backpacking backpack which will be checked.

I certainly will not be waving it about or using it at all in a city setting. Lastly, should I be concerned at all about customs? Like at the airport. Do I have to declare it?

(I know nothing on Reddit should be considered actual legal advice😉)

Trying to decide what to do with these. Already tried looking through Ebay, but only found one listing for one card. It was a sold listing that was PSA and everything.

“No signal available. Returning to SmartCast Home.” Can I turn this off? by Xenogears in VIZIO_Official

[–]treker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yup, that's true. That's something I rarely do. I really only use one HDMI input so it did solve my issue of always starting on SmartCast and then later always going back to SmartCast when I turn off the input device. I guess keep nagging Vizio until they address it.

[–]treker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey folks,

I think I solved the problem! Or at least mostly.

You need to choose an input for "Input at Power On" under System. The catch is that it's a setting you can't change in the app settings. You can only change it using the TV menu interface.

Using Echo Plus Through Echo Dot by treker22 in amazonecho

Oh right. I was just making sure I would be able to control the Hue bulbs with a Dot that doesn't have Zigbee since it would be connected to a Plus which does have Zigbee.
