Regarding ebay/paypal/scams A common scam people would do is buy an iPhone off ebay, claim the item was not as described, and do a chargeback with their credit card company, and they would get their money back, AND keep the phone. Is this still their policy? And I don't understand why they are allowed to keep the item that they were refunded in full for. That does not make sense to me.

ChocNitty posted:Regarding ebay/paypal/scams Yeah it's still their policy. They are heavily on the buyer's side. I don't even think they have to prove the phone or item doesn't work or is busted. I don't even think you are respond to negative ebay feedback as a seller anymore too.

My grandpa has cancer and I want to shave my head in support of him when I visit, though I've never done it before. Any tips on not turning my scalp into a blood fountain?

Buy some cheap electric clippers if you don't own some already and shave all your hair off with that. Then, if you want to get rid of the remaining stubble, electric beard trimmers work pretty well. Maybe get someone to help you if you need to use an actual razor because that poo poo is tricky and I cut the hell out of myself the one time I tried. e: Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

This is probably a REALLY stupid question. I saw Gravity in 3D at the theater last night and they give you the 3d glasses to wear you know. My friend was like, "Wearing 3D glasses sucks when you wear glasses anyway (essentially you have to wear them on top of your normal glasses), why can't they just put one big sheet of 3D glasses plastic in front of the screen?" So... would that really work?

No, because you need each eye to see a different image to get the 3D effect, so the lenses of 3D glasses have a different filter in each side. I'd be about as effective as using a single purple sheet of cellophane to see the old red/blue 3d images.

Go to your local stripmall haircuttery and spend 9bux. Bonus points for finding a barber who will hot towel while he shaves with a straight razor.

Why wouldn't he just pop out the lenses and put a thin line of tape around the frame area of his glasses to secure them--wouldn't that effectively work the same?

We have one kitty who's scared of just about everything so we were worried about our move and got one of these. We actually ended up temporarily at my fiance's parents house in between and this plug-in helped transition through all 3 places. I've never actually moved the cats without one, but based on how we expected her to react, this thing was absolutely worth it.

I don't wish to imply that you are culturally insensitive or even a stupid american, but the question asker asked in thousands of billions rather than trillions which implies he's using the long scale where a billion is a million million. Please check your white privilege if necessary.

Ice is formally solid, water is formally liquid. Ice is formally cold, whereas water might be coincidentally cold or coincidentally warm.

I want to call AT&T to politely complain to them about how unusable my internet is that I'm paying out the rear end for just slow speeds. What department should I be asking for? I've been through technical support but whenever I have to tell the robot "Connection issues" it automatically assumes I have no internet access right that moment, which will either go "Well see you have internet access *hangs up*" or I feel bad lying passed the robot to get to a live person ready to help someone who doesn't have internet connection that moment.

Never feel bad about taking advantage of a corporation. Especially Comcast. If you cause the customer support queue to grow, they'll just hire more support goons.

Gravity Pike posted:Never feel bad about taking advantage of a corporation. Especially Comcast. If you cause the customer support queue to grow, they'll just hire more support goons. Okay. I need to call them since me and my family have been a customer since 2005 and since 2012 the quality of my internet connection continues to degrade to the point of frustration and unusability. Even with a 6mbps connection 240p/360p Youtube ad before a video? Sorry, can't stream that without taking 30 seconds to buffer the next 10-15. You want to stream videos? Sorry. You want to play online video games? Sorry. Random and constant disconnections anywhere from a few seconds, just enough to kick me out of my video game server or VOIP client, or 10 minutes. I've gotten actual mind-splitting migraines and depressive episodes from how absolutely crap my internet connection is. So I hope they don't continue to blow me off. Not sure if I should call them out if they tell me again they don't support whatever router I am currently using. I remember being able to stream music while playing on Xbox Live or online on my PC forever without any problems. Their stupid bandwith caps probably have something to do with this along with their refusal to replace the completely ancient ADSL copper lines.
