Now, today, he was told the delay was due to the pictures uploaded through the claims portion of the app, that even today indicates that they were uploaded properly, were “uploaded to the wrong part of the claim”, no one has looked at it, and he will have to wait 2-3 more days.

@GEICO After 26 years as a customer, we’re ready to take our business elsewhere.

We have had good service in the past, so when my Son was involved in a hit-and-run with a Semi last week, we told him not to worry; Geico has his back. Well, we now know that’s no longer true.

It’s been a week since he filed his claim using the app to upload pictures. He’s called several times a day due to no progress and major complications getting a rental. Every agent seems to have a different story as to what’s going on. He was told that an adjuster was assigned

@transcendduali1 @G_Yeet69 @4letfreedomring @andyhartzler Because that’s not what she’s doing at all. She’s got a long history of being anti-LGTBQ+, and vehemently pushed for an amendment to Missouri's constitution that explicitly define marriage as between a man and a woman. It’s not about exemptions

@AaronBertrand Thank you for sharing this. This is literally the first Tik-tok I have actually ever watched all the way through. Well said by this person

The public Azure Status Page sure is lying right now. Major issues with VMs and VMSS in eastus2. Service Health at least is telling the truth, but that requires having a login to the tenant to see it

@vStephanMcTighe For me, this way of thinking came from working with too many companies early in my career that didn’t even have that as an option due to lack of support. It was hard for me to break, and I still struggle sometimes

@nocentino Oh my… this is amazing

@BuckWoodyMSFT After running FreeNAS for about 5 years, I just switched to a Synology and couldn't be happier. More stable, less ZFS overhead to consider, easy NIC bonding, even easier backup and iSCSI integration, and native Azure integration for backing up 0365 and AAD accounts
