Scam calls about verifying email?

Been a customer for a month now. Recently, I started receiving phone calls from optimum “reps” needing to confirm my email. It went on for weeks now and each time with different area codes. And no offense, it’s also ways someone with an Indian accent.

But surprisingly, my iphone does show “optimum” instead of “scam likely” so I’m confused… I thought it’s pretty weird for optimum to go out of their way to verify an email. Is this normal? Or am I just overthinking it? Thanks.

What would you do if…

You need to buy a $7 stale grilled cheese to complete a challenge for 75 stars? You already bought the 3 other items which you enjoy. Are you the type of person to give in and buy it or give up the stars? Why?

First time trying Hong Kong food…

Super delish!! Went to a pretty popular cafe in a US chinatown that promised to “captivate the taste of Hong Kong”.

-Red bean ice, Hong Kong milk tea
-Fried toast w condense milk & pb
-Spaghetti cheese bake w. pork cutlet

How close to that was our order? And as a native, what do you actually recommend? Thanks!

Edit: the place is called Legend Cafe House in Brooklyn NY! Not a big cafe but the Chinese locals here love it.

Just missed the train 🫤

I hate my life (N train delayed until further notice due to smoke on tracks? 😭)

What is the most useless machine you seen?

Every visit, it’s always the same popular machines being occupied (chest, lats etc). I never seen anyone using our oblique-twisting machines before.

Tried it once and would much rather train obliques without it 😭😭

New Reolink NVS16 won’t reset and still asks for admin password. Need help connecting to Reolink app!

Hi everyone,

I’m stuck with a Reolink NVS16 NVR. When I scan the QR code in the Reolink app, it asks for the admin password. Nobody in my house remembers ever creating one. I opened the NVR, pressed and held the orange reset button until it beeped, and even held it a few seconds longer. I’ve done this multiple times.

However, after rebooting:
-The monitor still shows the camera feeds normally.
-The login screen still says “Incorrect Password.”
-The app still asks for an admin password.

I never get a setup wizard or a prompt to create a new password. Reolink support thinks the NVR may not actually be resetting even though it beeps. Has anyone seen this before? After a successful factory reset, should the NVR ask me to create a new admin password? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Who’s at fault? Updated graphic…

Apologies for my drawing earlier, here’s a better one with Google Maps. I’m the orange car. 18, just got my first car and into my first accident a week later…

Thankfully, my brother and I are fine and our car suffered minimal damage. However, the opposing car suffered a pretty bad dent to the door.

Who’s in the wrong? Just needed some assurance/peace of mind as I wait for insurance.

Edit: there’s no stop sign in my lane. Next light was another intersection ahead of me. Louisiana, USA.

**Just purchased a dashcam. Learned my lesson for being cheap. Thanks everyone.

Louisiana, United States. I’m the black car… who’s at fault?

Just a bit shaken up by my first car accident. Not sure who’s at fault but any insight is appreciated. Just needed some assurance and peace of mind… thanks.

Rant.

“Just go earlier” Hmm… why are we working our schedule around the teens for their convenience? For some of us working adults, we don’t have the luxury to workout at 4am with a demanding job.

“You just don’t want teens to workout and be healthy. How selfish”. What no? I’m all for that as long you don’t bring a rowdy group to hog the bench press for an hour, leave it unwiped, and possibly broken. Also, I want to enjoy the perks I paid for using my hard earned money.

“My location wasn’t bad, barely anything changed so stop whining” Sorry, not every planet fitness is in a rural town or suburb. PF in the city is already roughed up outside of summer season.

“Just quit and find a new gym if you’re complaining” just what?? We’re the one who should be cancelling? As if we’re the inconvenience?

Not asking that all teens should be kicked out but please…. Keep an eye on those rowdy groups and set pass limits / certain days of the week they can go. Nvm, I honestly don’t know anymore.

Black squirrel in nyc??

Been living here for 4 years and it’s my first time seeing a black squirrel. Is it rare? Same species?

The new drinks actually so good :)

Specifically got butterfly drink and it’s 10/10. I don’t get why ppl in this subreddit hate on every single new drink Starbucks releases (ube drinks and mango refresher hate train…)

Am I the only one that’s enjoying them??

How’s Radnor lake over the summer?

Im bringing my family for 3 days to visit my brother near downtown area. We’re from louisiana so we’re pretty used to the southern heat. But not sure if hiking during the fall will be better.

Anything we should know about? Is the parking really that bad? Mosquitos? Appreciate it 🙏
