HP = Hinge problem, but is it fixable???

Is this even fixable? It’s only on the left side and I can pop it back in, but it feels like it could break at any moment. Took laptop to local repair shop to fix a crack in the top plate and now I have a hinge problem (in their defense I may have had it before, but wouldn’t it have been caught upon reassembly?). When I brought it up to them at pick up they said HP is known for this (HP = hinge problem). They made it seem like it’s not fixable and something to just deal with. It doesn’t affect the use of the computer but I do worry about functionality over time. Please give me your honest opinions preferably from experience or profession. Thanks!

Hello! I am pivoting careers and need help with my cover letter. I don’t like the way my last sentence sounds and I’d like to add a little more. Feeling stuck! Trying to keep it straight to the point while also highlighting important skills and enthusiasm. Open to constructive feedback. Background is not actually black. I did not use AI and try to steer away from it. Pls don’t be mean 🫣

What is it

All over my son’s face and lips? 11 YO Male. Noticed a little redness around the mouth on Tuesday and Wednesday. At first I thought allergic reaction, have tried Zyrtec during the day yesterday and a Benadryl last night. It was less swollen and looked like the redness was going down by bedtime. This morning it's back in full force and then some. He has had angular cheilitis in the past but this doesn't look like that. We haven't been out in the elements much this past week and haven't tried anything new. I would typically just take him to the pediatrician at this point but we just lost his Medicaid and the premium to add him to mine is so high I won't be able to afford our rent if I do. I am figuring out a solution but of course this happened in the meantime. Thanks everyone.

Extra crispy

Can someone help me petition to have these year round? My picky child loves them and now they’re gone from the center freezer of Aldi picks at my local stores 🥲

Hopper help

Hi all! I just received and installed my litter hopper last week and at first it seemed to work normal but I noticed the bonnet will NOT stay in its place even when everything ‘clicks’ in. It also isn’t dispensing like it should. Is it installer error or manufacturer error? Has anyone run into the bonnet not fitting properly? TIA

I know toll scams are high right now. I’ve checked my EZpass account, no red flags. Read over the scamming disclaimer and linked site

Watched the local news segment

Mine looks a little different, but I see all the red flags. Has anyone else received texts like this? Also, isn’t this illegal? Thank you 🙏
