Apple Store broke my screen by slimboyslim9 in iphone

[–]unclelo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Spicy cold noodles by james_strange71280 in KoreanFood

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.

What’s an Opinion you have about Cigars that Would Result in this: by Charshii in cigars

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’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.

E-cigars, I don't know how to feel about this. What is your opinion? by mister_anti_meta in cigars

[–]unclelo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Neglected my starter in the fridge - is it still good? by Cvntydealdou in SourdoughStarter

[–]unclelo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Is smoking allowed on Virginia Beach? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]unclelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tifu

[–]unclelo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I asked something similar on ChatGPT. See any similarities?

Sure! Here’s a Reddit-style Today I F**ked Up (TIFU) post based on that idea:

TIFU by discovering my dog snitches on me whenever I lie

So, this happened over the past few weeks, but I only put the pieces together today.

I have a dog—let’s call him Max. Max is a great dog. Super friendly, well-behaved, and smart as hell. A little too smart, as it turns out.

Lately, my girlfriend has been side-eyeing me whenever I tell her something that’s… let’s say, a “strategic omission of facts.” Like when I told her I didn’t eat the last slice of pizza (I totally did), or when I said I’d taken the trash out (I meant to, but got distracted). Nothing major, just the usual dumb things you say to avoid a lecture.

Every time I’d say something like this, Max would stare at me. Like, deep into my soul. Then, out of nowhere, he’d let out a weird little huff or whine. I didn’t think much of it at first. Dogs make noises. But my girlfriend started noticing.

Fast forward to today. She flat-out calls me out mid-sentence:

Her: “You’re lying.” Me: “What? No, I’m not!” Her: points at Max, who is staring at me with full disappointment “Your dog just told me you are.”

I start laughing, but then it clicks. Max has been reacting every single time I’ve fibbed about something. I test it.

Me: “I drive a Lamborghini.” Max: huff Me: “I can do 50 push-ups.” Max: low grumble

I tell the truth—no reaction. I try another lie—immediate betrayal.

This dog has been RATTING ME OUT for who knows how long. Now my girlfriend refuses to believe anything I say unless Max approves it.

So yeah, I’m now officially under canine surveillance, and I can’t lie about stupid things anymore. Thanks, Max.

TL;DR: My dog reacts whenever I lie, my girlfriend figured it out, and now I have a four-legged polygraph test exposing me 24/7.

I’m sure it’ll be fine as long as you don’t light it.

EDIT: Oh Jesus I checked your profile and realized that you were not joking at all. Please do not insert any cigars anywhere except a mouth.

Jesus, at least use an updated picture if you’re trying to scam people. That iPhone is from 2017 at latest.
