Check Fine Print
Lorin Mandaloniz
You often see other banks advertise accounts that seem to be great deals. That is until you read their "fine print". Bank of Utica never tries to trick you with "fine print". After reading their fine print (see underscores below), compare their accounts to ours:
Early Bird Check in is a scam for more money. If SWA airlines is going to offer early check-in it should guarantee an A boarding position. If is is not going to do so then say it in BOLD print so that customers know this up front. It should not be buried in tiny fine print that requires a magnifying glass to see it. Perhaps it's time to have assigned seats and like other airlines charge more for the premium seats.
The same applies to me and others who have A List status. We get checked in before EB folks, but we are not guaranteed any certain position. It is impossible to do so given that there are varying numbers of A Listers and EBs flying on any given flight. It does seem like there are more and more A Listers today, so I do believe more and more EB folks end up in the B group than in the past. But that is a general observation from me that may or may not at all be true.
I like Southwest. Bags free is great. But its frustrating at the same time. Paying more for the same thing as the next person feels really awful. And they should rethink their canned responses for how worthless that makes a customer feel.
So Southwest doesn't do things such as informing people how many A-List flyers there are (which changes constantly) or adjust boarding positions to fill vacated ones (and create chaos when people realize their boarding position is changing) and therefore it's a scam? This sounds like you're desperate to find a conspiracy when there isn't one.
A1-A15 are reserved for Business Select tickets and then sold as upgraded boarding positions at the gate if not all allocated to Business Select flyers. It's quite common for many of these positions to go unpurchased/unused, that isn't some nefarious act of holding back those positions as you indicate. All other non Business Select flyers start at A16. Your boss got A1 because there were no Business Select flyers and no one purchased upgrading boarding at the gate so the gate agent found a creative way to please an unhappy customer.
Agree 100%. The replies are canned. There was a time when SWA would take your concerns seriously. I even received travel vouchers in the past. Granted, they expired because I didn't use them but at least it made me feel appreciated. The airline has gone in the wrong direction over the last five years. Changes should be made at the top starting with the CEO.
There is no way to do that because there is no way to know how many A-Listers will grab A spots until 36 hours before the flight. You could have A50-A60 available and then 10 A Listers buy tickets and grab them.
I would like to respectfully suggest that if you offer something for sale that is of no value that would qualify as a scam. With early bird checkin to Liberia on an anniversary trip with my wife, I got the early bird check-in so we could sit together on the long ride. Our seat assignments were B30 and B60 on the departing flight; B47 and C15! on the return flight. I have a picture of my wife ahead of the last three people to board the plane with Early Bird Check-in. In both cases, Southwest let a lot of people skip ahead in line to boot with this new policy of 13-year old travel. Anyway, clearly Early Bird was a zero value to me, and yet Southwest happily charged me for it and refused an outright refund. Respectfully, until Southwest fixes this, it is a scam.
Southwest announced in line on the way to Costa Rica this Thanksgiving that families traveling with 13-year-olds and under could board between the A-group and B-group. (It used to be only 2 and under). About half of the people who did get a worse spot than me, got to skip ahead. I actually kind of understand this because I remember the days of not wanting to have my young daughter potentially sit between creepy strangers without a parent in the row. You think Southwest could have let just one guardian board with a younger minor, but nope, the whole family skipped right ahead of me. It felt VERY unfair.
Possibly the black cartridge is low, if so replace (see **). Have you checked the ink levels? (see ##) Are you using genuine HP original (not refilled) ink? Cartridge may be defective. Does this occur after a recent new ink cartridge installation? Have you tried removing and reinstalling several times? How old is the printer, it could be wearing out.
Probably you haven,t updated the printer's software on your computer, recently. It seems odd, but that could be the problem. In the following link, click on software and drivers, click Go, click download. It will provide the most recent software. Are you wireless or wired connection?
** If you are enrolled in HP Instant Ink, they may actually do a lousy job - not be timely sending out replacements. If so, you should call their Service to find out What's UP? Contact I.Ink Service customer support at 1-855-785-2777
When the printer does XYZ-Calibration it does Z and X quite fine, then moves the bed all the way back, where things still seem to work, As soon as it moves the bed forward it moves 211mm according to display and then bumps into the Y idler mount and fails.
I had some issues with the Y axis after assembling my kit. When I carefully examined it when the calibration failed I realised the bearings had not seated correctly, so some realignment fixed all of the issues. Take another look and double check against the instructions.
Today I performed a factory reset because the 5.1.0 firmware kept crashing and crashing. After the reset, the calibration wizard started and now my Y axis keeps failing to calibrate. The printer works just fine, prints are OK, everything hunkydory - just the damn self test fails and I see no reason.
I bought a factory-assembled Prusa because of the legendary reliability the brand is known for, but the 5.1 firmware is such an epic dumpster fire of shittyness that I really start to question my decision.
Update: My layers kept shifting because my X motor pulley was not pushed in enough. I loosened my grub screws, pushed it in so that the belt is not rubbing against the motor holder, and voila! Beautiful prints now with input shaping.
I had the same problem that the Y axis test was systematically failing, independently of the belt tension or the positioning of the bearings. I had trouble shoot the problem and the root cause was that I had installed wrongly the Y-Belt tensioners (step 29) of the Y-Axes assembly instructions. I had installed the one that goes left in the right position and the left one in the right position. I had re-installed the Y-belt tensioners in the right position and the problem of Y axis fail is solved. Now it always passes the test.
Georgia high school teacher Donelan Andrews won a $10,000 reward after she closely read the terms and conditions that came with a travel insurance policy she purchased for a trip to England. Squaremouth, a Florida insurance company, had inserted language promising a reward to the first person who emailed the company.
"We understand most customers don't actually read contracts or documentation when buying something, but we know the importance of doing so," the company said. "We created the top-secret Pays to Read campaign in an effort to highlight the importance of reading policy documentation from start to finish."
Not every company is so generous. To demonstrate the importance of reading the fine print, many companies don't give; they take. The mischievous clauses tend to pop up from time to time, usually in cheeky England.
A few years earlier, several Londoners agreed (presumably inadvertently) to give away their oldest child in exchange for Wi-Fi access. Before they could get on the Internet, users had to check a box agreeing to "assign their first born child to us for the duration of eternity." According to the Guardian, six people signed up, but the company providing the Wi-Fi said the clause likely wouldn't be enforceable in a court of law. "It is contrary to public policy to sell children in return for free services," the company explained.
And on April Fool's Day in 2010, the British retailer GameStation inserted a new clause into its license agreement, with a check box already ticked. If users didn't uncheck the box, they agreed to grant GameStation "a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul." GameStation said that if it chose to exercise the soul transfer, it would serve notice in 6-foot-high letters of fire.
Luckily, GameStation offered a way to get out of that clause. "If you a) do not believe you have an immortal soul, b) have already given it to another party, or c) do not wish to grant Us such a license, please click the link below to nullify this sub-clause and proceed with your transaction." Those who did click the link were rewarded with a voucher.
Most online agreements limit use by children younger than 13, but Tumblr's agreement goes further, anticipating a preteen's pushback: "'But I'm, like, almost old enough!' you plead. Nope, sorry. If you're not old enough, don't use Tumblr. Ask your parents for a Playstation 4, or try books."
And in its community guidelines document, after warning that impersonation is not permitted, Tumblr elaborates: "While you're free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can't pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch."
In Section 57.10 of Amazon's AWS agreement, people who use Amazon's "Lumberyard" game development engine promise they won't use it to operate systems that could put someone's life in danger, such as aircraft or autonomous vehicles. So far, so good. Amazon says that section doesn't apply, however, if the U.S. Centers for Disease Control certifies the existence of "a widespread viral infection transmitted via bites or contact with bodily fluids that causes human corpses to reanimate and seek to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to result in the fall of organized civilization."
