Hey @bookingcom this is the reply that I got from the Airline @royalairmaroc .

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

Hey @bookingcom . I purchased a flight less than 24h ago and I'm being told that I can't get a refund. Can you please explain why you're not following US Dept of Transport rules? The air company (Air Maroc) told me that this was supposed to be refundable.

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

@bookingcom @royalairmaroc can you please advise why you have tickets that are non refundable within 24h , disrespecting US DOT rules?

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

@bookingcom Looks like @bookingcom doesn't honor its own policy

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

@bookingcom That doesn't help. Your support is telling me to call Air Maroc , which I did multiple times, and they told me that they can't do anything and it's @bookingcom responsibility to cancel and refund

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

"Royal Air Maroc will refund a purchased ticket with a full refund without penalty up to 24 hours after reservation for reservations made seven days (168 hours) or more prior to the flight’s scheduled departure. This policy applies to refundable as well as non-refundable fares."

@davidfowl Did you try the grilled pineapple? It's awesome

@terryaney @SamsungUS We just found out that by bumping freezer temperature from 0F to 1F fixed (unclogged) the ice maker.
Hair drier alone wasn't working.
So looks like a thermostat problem.
Maybe it also works for you

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

Hey @SamsungUS I have your most expensive refrigerator, the ice maker broke under 3 years (it's a common problem, there's even a lawsuit for that issue) and your support is referring me to a service company that has only 1-star reviews. Should I throw it away and get a Whirlpool?

@techxutkarsh For anyone interested, just google the ebook.

There’s a German saying: “Those who can read have a clear advantage.” (“Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil.”) When someone spends time writing instructions, it’s because they believe those instructions will be helpful and save unnecessary effort. So don’t be lazy - RTFM 🥸

Now I'm feeling represented!

I have some friends who get excited when AI assistant renders 10k lines, but that just makes me nervous.

What would make me excited would be AI *deleting* 1000 lines.

@terryaney I just took a quick look and I'm not using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.
Yeah, I've never built a changelog, sorry. I know I should...

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

@terryaney @SamsungUS Oh, thanks for the clarification. I wasn't even aware of this back panel. Do you have to disassemble it like the video? Or just powering the fridge off will defrost it?

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

@davidfowl Being an immigrant is not easy. Blind is a great sociology tool where we can see the real inner thoughts and toxicity of our colleagues.

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

Hey @gethotwire - your support sucks. I was told that I would get a refund but actually I was charged for $2000 and now I have "credits" in my account. So basically you forced me to pre-pay for 2 years of your service (even though my previous contract was already halfway past)

[Rick Drizin @RickDrizin]

Hey @gethotwire Hotwire Communications - I have UPGRADED my internet plan, I was told that this would NOT incur into a penalty, but I'm being charged for this crazy penalty amount - and support (called twice, it's been more than a week) doesn't help at all.
