  1. @Nice Guy Eddie I simply disconnect my Ruku from the cable box.  I only connect the cable box on those rare moments I use the Roku TV.  It is simple to do.  Just unplug and lay aside.

    @Sam Lin I totally agree.  Also of note I am nearing the end of my two year contract during September.  I think they just want me to give them more money.  I rarely if ever watch TV since sports are no longer interesting or really available. I wouldn't feel so gipped if they would just allow me to see how much usage I've done on daily basis.  That seems only fair if they want to bill you on usage basis.

    Just once I'd wish these types of cuts would begin with HR and all the worthless fucks in that department.  These are the guys who go out and pay through the nose for a survey that shows executive pay up by xx % so lets do it one % better.  

    @Hurtlocker: 

    Tip of my hat to McDonalds.  I just read today they fired the head of HR recently after the had already fired the Chairman.  

  3. For years I have had the cheapest service Xfinity offers regarding data.  Yesterday I got a notice that I had used 92% of my data allowance and should buy the higher program.  All the Xfinity App offers is total usage.

    April, May, June were way less than 500GB which would be normal over the last two years.  July spiked to 786GB and August jumped again to 1.137 GB.  I went to the Xfinity (Comcast) Forums and they had numerous posts just like my issue but Xfinity closed the Forum stating they didn't have time to answer general questions.  

    I looked at the Xfinity WiFi App they told me to use but that doesn't give me a daily usage, just a bar graph that really tells me nothing.

    We have a lot of connections, 2 iPhones, 3 computers which are on about 12 hours a day, 1 iPad which is only on occasionally, Rain Bird controller which uses nothing, Ring Camera which uses nothing and Nest Thermostats.  None of those were added in the last two years.  Nothing changed.  

    We did binge watch two years of Yellowstone during July.  Would that account for the increase in data usage??? Would 24 hours of streaming account for that much increase in GB usage???

    Apparently they have already reset my account to zero even though it probably should have run through midnight tonight.

  4. @Murfdogg21 I'm sure your little pal enjoyed every minute of his time with you and your family.  He died happy.  It is always so hard to lose a pet.  I usually go about three years after we lose one before I dare try and get one again.  Over my many many decades I have had at least six or seven absolutely wonderful pets.  Each one is better but you'll always have a warm spot for all the previous ones.

  5. @Wally Fairway I am a novice in option markets.  Back in May I bought 3 Nov 15 puts (Leaps).  My thinking was the credit industry was going to hell with the financial crisis.  I wasn't aware the Fed was going to bomb the nation from shore to shore to shore with dollars.  My loss today stands at 92%.  Your strategy on Index Leaps is probably better than select stocks.

  6. If Laura is half the hurricane they predict the insurance and re-insurance companies are going to take a huge hit.  If one of these storms ever hits Miami directly insurance would probably go bust.  I don't know how the Miami area has dodged the storms over the last few decades.

    This thing looks like a hurrinado

     

  7. Here is the part I do not understand and why the market keeps going up while facts indicate otherwise.  I realize the Houston Chronicle is a pay site but I can cut and paste a few paragraphs.  Yes, Houston downtown is a ghost town.  Hotels and restaurants are going under.  It is easy to blame the energy sector but it is the same in NYC.  I'm wondering if things are greener in Dallas, LA. Chicago and other metro areas.

    “You’ve got to understand,” said Tilman Fertitta, who owns Vic & Anthony’s, the high-end steakhouse near Minute Maid Park, “downtown is dead. There’s nobody in the buildings. There’s no business traveler.”

    The strides developers, business leaders and city officials have made in transforming the city center from a mostly commercial district into a more vibrant neighborhood with new housing, parks and schools are being threatened by the pandemic, whose economic and societal tolls may take years to undo.

    Downtown, where businesses and public agencies employed more than 168,600 full-time workers before COVID-19, is mostly empty, apart from residents walking their dogs, skateboarders taking advantage of the barren sidewalks and the homeless, who cluster under awnings and outside convenience stores.

    No big deal on the job. I was just waiting on the last reimbursement draw. Truly. I am already hired on and  licensed at my new place. Better platform, lower rates and better working conditions. I’m beyond thrilled. I’m a 100% commission guy in sales so I’m basically self employed- just need somewhere to plug in. 

    Got any openings for a 40 something grandson Mechanical Engineer :). Congrats on the new place.

    So... so you've had the 7th most appearances.

     

    Wish y'all would schedule more games with Big XII schools. You're a natural rival over here. 

    I'm not certain who the duckee is here :)

  10. Damn.  Our grandson lost his job last Friday too.   This is the second time for him in twenty years.  The last time he just said to hell with it and went around the world for two years before settling into the second job three years ago.  You are the modern day version of The Oregon Trail.  Keep on trucking and never look back :).  Great to hear wife is in good spirits.  That always helps instead of having someone say "I told ya so".

  11. @utee94  A little history refresher.  Back in the day Arkansas's biggest rival was Ole Miss.  Frank Broyles arrived in Fayetteville in 1958.  He surmised that Texas would never be the Hog fans biggest rival as long as Ole Miss was on the schedule.  He took a lot of heat when he dropped Ole Miss from their future schedules.  I never really knew if Royal was interested in the SEC but for certain Arkansas left feeling certain aggy and the Horns would follow.  

    Broyles was unhappy with the private schools at that time (SMU on Death Penalty, Baylor, Rice and TCU) because of their lack of a fan base and low attendance.  He wanted to play in a conference dominated by state universities.

    I miss Arkansas simply because it was always fun to have a huge visiting fan base to taunt and exchange shit with every year.  Basketball too.  In Royal's best years the back to back game schedule with zero U and Arkansas the following week were killers but he usually won both.
