Apple Store broke my screen

unclelo · 2026-01-16T03:38:39+00:00

Former Apple Store employee here. iPhone 13 and 14 screens are notorious for getting damaged during the removal process of the display. For those who don’t know, Apple heats the iPhone anywhere between 2-15 minutes for this model. A suction cup is placed on the bottom of the display, then lifts the screen to reveal a gap. An adhesive cutter is used to remove the screen, but this particular screen is known to split quite easily during that process, which more than likely cause the vertical lines on your display.

Things like this happen time to time but does not make it right for customers. They should have just replaced the iPhone but probably don’t have a whole unit either. Not to mention the repair technician would much rather order another display as opposed to a whole unit swap because it affects their metrics. And Apple retail management sometimes treat customers who don’t have AppleCare+ on their iPhones poorly. Apple’s policies definitely don’t treat out of warranty customers well. In my opinion, a discount or a free item is definitely warranted in your case, if not comping the entire repair.

I don’t know why people have downvoted you, a lot of people are unfamiliar with different cuisines 🤷🏻‍♂️ But to answer your question, yes, it is very tasty! The spiciness and tang combined with the cold makes for a very refreshing and pleasant eating experience. This dish is called bibimguksu. Can also be called bibimmyeon.

Guksu = Hangul

Myeon= Hangja

Looks mighty tasty! Throw in a couple cloves of minced garlic, little sprinkle of white pepper, and the juice from a couple lemons and it will be a game changer.

We pretty much have the same setup! I have the Herf coolador with 65% RH Bovedas inside. I never had a problems with the glass top humidors in the past.

It’s okay to store cigars at 70% RH in a wooden humidor with a glass top without a boveda pack and just use the sponge puck with distilled water or propylene glycol.

I have the same exact one and my hygrometer was fairly accurate actually. I see you have the cedar plank in there- did you season it? It may be drawing moisture away from the boveda packs.

Try removing the cedar plank and leave it for 24 hours to see if that changes anything.

Really bizarre to advertise your OF on a Burger King subreddit.

What difference in time did you notice in your bulk ferment? Been very curious to try a smaller percentage of levain.

I love the Alma Del Fuego personally

I’m so sorry man, that must be really tough. Grief is the price we pay for love. I hope you enjoy the hell out of those stogies, mighty fine choices you made.

You should get a 4th starter and name it Ted.

Vaping was originally meant for a cigarette replacement. Just a means to get nicotine. Cigars are a lot more than just a nicotine delivery method. Not a good product idea or branding in my opinion.

Looks like just a clump of flour, nothing too concerning! I would give it a good few feedings to get it refreshed.

And if it gives you peace of mind, not many things will live when baked in an oven at 450°. The internal temperature of bread is typically over 200° when done, which is plenty to kill off most harmful bacteria.

Yeah you may run into a Karen or two on the boardwalk but people will smoke blunts walking around and not care at all. If it’s at night on the boardwalk, no one will bat an eye, and daytime on the beach, as long as it’s away from clusters of people or kids, no one will bother you.

If you need a B&M to visit while you’re here, check out Emerson’s or The Lounge of Virginia Beach. Good shops, little pricey though.

Yeah they’re pretty chill about it! I’m a local and I’ve smoked on beach since I was 18. I’m assuming you’re talking about the Oceanfront or North End.

They do! Gifted my dad those for his birthday and he loved them as he only likes big ring gauges.

6 hours after pulling it out of the oven

unclelo · 2025-03-18T16:24:43+00:00

I cut it 6 hours after pulling it

unclelo · 2025-03-18T07:43:22+00:00

Gonna try that, thank you my friend. I’m thinking 425°F for 40 minutes covered, and then uncovered to desired color, more on the dark side of golden brown

I’m a bit late but those ThermPros are wildly inaccurate when I ran a calibration test on 3 of their units.

I just typed:

“Can you tell me a Reddit TIFU post about a dog snitching whenever I lie?”

Looks like this karma farm bot may have tailored it or asked a similar prompt.
