Here is the bottom of the box when I first ordered the phone vs when Samsung received my return. I never touched the bottom or taped it. I looks like it was opened and taped up again, with the phone now missing.

Dropping off a package with a cellphone inside and then being told that the box arrived with no cellphone and you're out of luck has triggered a level of anxiety I haven't felt in a while. At this rate I'm never using FedEx or buying from Samsung ever again.

I recently returned a phone to @SamsungMobileUS and my return was denied due to no phone in box. Looking at the videos of the unboxing, it looks like the box was tampered with a during transit. @FedEx is denying this. Samsung hasn't helped. I'm potentially out over $1000.

Bravo #LakeTahoe for one of the best finales I’ve ever seen. #4thofJuly #fireworks @Ballyslaketahoe

The current situation trying to get out of the Venetian parking lot. Probably going to miss dinner plans with my family due to this incompetence. If you have plans, take an Uber because we've been stuck here for 30 minutes with no way out. @VenetianVegas #lasvegas

Bay Area Northern Lights! Taken from SJSU North Garage. Used Google Pixel night sight.

Trololololo

I guess leaving the USB powered Christmas lights up wasn't the worst idea #poweroutage

Easily the longest power outage I've been through in a while.

With my untrained eyes, it looks like I can wear every single color in the photograph. If anything, the winter/cool summer colors make me look SLIGHTLY grey or wash me out. Or maybe I'm biased and am going to wear orange anyway.

Recently, I got into color analysis and I'm apparently a Deep Winter, which means I can't wear orange. I reject this. Nevermind that cool colored lipstick and foundation make me turn grey/red. I refuse to throw away my orange clothes for someone's definition of "flattering".

How is the sample still darker than the control? 😭

These are the best @pepperidgefarm and @milanocookies I have ever had, and I say this as someone who will drop $5 on a single fancy cookie.

I must share my first time executing a French tuck with a long sweater. Let's see if it stays through a 2 hour rehearsal.

When you're the first person at the boba shop.

@TheSanJoseBlog Santana Row still has free parking.

Now that Valley Fair charges for parking, I'm going to have to test this out. I have never taken one of the Rapid buses before (BRT), curious how they compare to Light Rail.

I love this city

I think the main problem I've encountered is that decaf black tea actually tastes different from caffeinated tea. It took boiling 8 decaf tea bags to get some essence of tea flavor. Next on my list: Taiwanese milk tea (traditionally used in bubble/boba milk tea). #boba #milktea

THE CLOSEST I'VE GOTTEN TO STORE BOUGHT HK MILK TEA: 1) Brew super strong Ceylon (cheap Lipton works) 2) Add Black and White brand evaporated milk (Carnation doesn't taste the same) 3) Add condensed milk (zero calories sweetener is close enough) Cheers.
