Is there a trick to removing packaging from #DeWalt measuring tapes? Obviously they are high-theft items, but this is ridiculous. I'm 5 minutes in and ready to return. I must be missing something 🤷🏻‍♂️ @DEWALTCA

@ca_autotrader Was there a recent update to your website and mobile app? If so, please reverse it. Search results are not showing as many vehicles.

@LoveMySilk When will Coconut ORIGINAL be back in stock? This is taking FOREVER.

@AskKlarna I know how to Reorder My Wallet sections, but how do I re-arrange individual cards? This was a feature in Stocard

@thenorthface Fire your tech team. Worst search functionality. I placed an order 10 minutes ago and still haven't received a confirmation email.

.@AppleSupport The renaming of AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) to AirPods Pro 2 caused a lot of confusion. Please don't rename products. #feedback

.@Bose Why wasn't the buzz / static noise in the left earbud fixed for the QC Ultra?

Quick Google search shows complaints about the same issue on QC earbuds back in 2020: https://t.co/IE2iE9xZMR

Great the ANC, but I'm returning because of this. You lost my trust as the leader.

@Amazon @AmazonHelp How do I disable the "Share this product with friends" pop-up every time I take a screenshot? It's intrusive and redundant - there's already a "Share" icon. Thank you!

@weathernetwork Recently your iOS app doesn't work with my VPN. Please see photos.

The problem persists even after updating to your latest release v6.5.11.

I am using an iPhone 13 running iOS v17.5.1 and ExpressVPN v11.163.0.

Thank you for taking time to troubleshoot!

#Ford #eTransit is heading in the right direction as the first #EV #CargoVan, but it delivers short with a range of just 203 km / 126 mi. Is that even enough for last-mile delivery services? Far below #MachE range. I like the idea of #TransitCustom #PHEV tho!

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay! 🧠 Today is a day to think about our #MentalHealth, to speak out and #StopTheStigma, to celebrate every win on our journeys to recovery, and most importantly, to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. #NotSuicideNotToday

I wouldn't recommend @Quora to a friend. Answers are hidden in a sea of ads, promoted content, and related suggestions. All with identical styling. Answer quality is also generally low compared to @Reddit. #Quora has poor #userexperience #ux #webdesign #wasteoftime

If you're #suicidal, hotlines are helpful. Call 416-408-4357 in #Toronto or 1-833-456-4566 from anywhere in #Canada.

If that doesn't help, visit #CAMH or your nearest hospital's emergency department.

Thank you to @CAMHnews @CAMHfoundation for all that you've done for me 🙏

If today is your worst day and you only see one way out, please believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Stare death in the eyes, smile, and say "Not today!"

We are pleased that the Ontario government has committed $425 million for community mental health and addictions services in the 2023 budget. It is crucial that every Ontarian can get access to services when they need them and close to home.
