Namarrgon posted:I found an iPod (the mp3 kind, not the phone kind) and I want to return it to the owner. My friend tells me that you can contact apple for help with that but from looking around on the site they seem to go through a lot of trouble not to list an email address anywhere and the phone numbers listed seem to be very specifically for either pre-order or technical support. Plus I don't want to be put on hold for 15 minutes and pay phone costs. Put up some flyers in the area where you found it. Have the person call/email you and identify it by naming a few songs.

hayden. posted:I just sold a tablet on ebay and received and email from what appears to be PayPal email that says I need to verify my email to accept the Paypal funds. I don't think I've received money with it before, so I guess that makes sense. Did the email from Paypal address you by your actual name? If not, it's probably a scam.

NESguerilla posted:Does USPS have any rules about sending non paper items in a normal envelope with a stamp? I have a couple of tiny parts to send out that weigh about as much as a piece of paper combined, but they make the envelope bulge about 1/5 of an inch in the middle. Would this be against the rules or considered suspicious? As long as they aren't dangerous (their website should be able to tell what you can and can't ship), I don't see why you couldn't. I'd be more concerned about the parts tearing the envelope and falling out. Why not use a small padded envelope?

Rubies posted:Can someone help me find a Family Guy bit? There was this one part of an episode where Peter's voice was changed into a regular guy's voice. He was sitting at the bar with his buddies but instead of being all whiney he had a clear deep voice and was like "could you guys keep it down? we're trying to enjoy the bar!" or something eequally dorky. I don't know the season or episode or anything, and since there's a lot of voice gags on FG google isn't helping me. Thanks! Sounds like it might be Friends of Peter G where Death shows Peter what his life would have been like if he didn't drink.

stubblyhead posted:e: Another medical type question. If you go to the doctor and they bill your insurance, are they required to collect a copay/coinsurance payment from you as well? Or are they allowed to eat that cost if they so choose? Insurance biller here: they are not required to take your co-pay/co-insurance upfront. It's up to the individual office. Your co-pay is usually a fixed amount and you're going to have to pay it anyway, so you might as well pay it when you go. Co-insurances and deductibles can vary, so it's best to wait and see what the insurance company is going to pay. The only time a provider will eat the co-pays/etc is when they can't collect it from you. Ultimately, YOU are responsible for your bills being paid. The providers file everything as a courtesy. If you have any more similar questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them.

stubblyhead posted:This is basically what I'm wondering--for the particular service there's a copay of $20 for example, and the explanation of benefits shows that amount as the subscriber's responsibility. The doctor chooses not to collect this amount. Is this allowed? I guess that actually brings up another question. I always assumed that the copay/coinsurance is kept by the doctor or whoever. Is this correct, or are they merely collecting that money on behalf of some other party? The provider will usually have a contract with the insurance company for whatever services. Let's say it's a regular office visit and the billed amount is $150. The contract rate might be, say, $90. You pay $20 as a co-pay and the insurance company will pay the other $70. The doctor doesn't have to collect, but he/she'd be pretty dumb not to.

randyest posted:That's true of memory foam because the cells are closed and the chemicals used, but neither is true of latex foam which is more expensive but much better in my opinion (I tried both; the memory foam stank like hell and was sweaty hot no matter how cold the room was.) I bought an off-brand memory foam mattress and the online reviews mentioned the stinkiness problem. When it arrived (rolled up and looking like a gym punching bag), I opened it up expecting the worst. There was zero odor and it assumed its final size in about an hour. I haven't had any problems with heat, but I tend to generate a LOT of heat if I'm covered up completely, so I can't really blame the mattress. I have been sleeping like the dead on it.

Smeep posted:I'm watching "24" on Netflix and I have a question. I'm at season 4, I think, and can someone tell me about the "Chloe" character without spoiling whether or not she dies a horrible fiery death by the last season (*fingers crossed*)? Basically my question is: when the show was airing, did everyone hate her as much as I do? She's supposed to be a jokey character, right? It's completely out-of-place and off-putting when she pulls her dumb faces or says something stupid. It makes me feel like I'm watching an SNL skit of a scene from "24." On the TVIV weekly 24 threads, Chloe went from psycho spergin' bitch to awesome nerd girl to yeah, yeah, we get it already. The actress IS awesome, though.

Gravity Pike posted:They don't have a second 2D camera, but it's not as simple as using the "left" lens either. They use a computer "flattening" technique to maintain the correct framing, do special effects correctly, etc. I figured it something like that. The reason I asked was that a friend was showing off his 3D TV and I figured they wouldn't be able to use a separate camera setup. I've yet to see a 3D movie in a theater and his TV looked like I was watching a giant, live-action Viewmaster.

Eggplant Wizard posted:Using checks to pay rent and some bills is still pretty normal I think. An awful lot of people do still get paychecks, too, but we have direct deposit and I think that's pretty standard for white collar jobs at least. I pay my rent (monthly) and water bill (every two months) by check. My apartment complex recently gave us the option to pay online. For a $10 "convenience fee". I can buy several hundred checks for $10. Also, I live right upstairs from the office and I can just drop the check off at the first of the month. As for the water bill, the city still doesn't have the option to pay online like every other company. My paycheck is directly deposited and I have to go online to get a copy of the stub.
