  1. So what are my drawbacks to just tethering my phone for streaming? It's unlimited data and gets around 50 down. (this time of night at least)  Plays 4K fine from what I can tell. 

    It's Verizon and a family plan, but not my account.  So I really don't know what unlimited means, but have heard the grumblings about them slowing down your data a lot if you're using an excessive amount? 

    I was going to have them out Friday to give me cable internet, but could this be an option?

    I'm on a couple vintage mtb sites on FB, so I looked up Klein Attitudes. They kind of seem all over the place from $300ish to $2000 for a verified team bike with XTR gruppo. Do you know what components are on it? 

    I think it's a 98', which some seem to think is still classic Klein because Trek bought them in 95, but I think kept using the Klein shop and parts for a few years, until they fully integrated with the Trek place in Wisconsin or something.  Some shit like that. He doesn't give a crap about the bike at all, I just don't want to lowball him.

  3. Told my buddy I was looking for a bike and he gave me this. Said he hasn't ridden it in 4 years and hates bikes. 

    I gotta give him something. I did a little research and was thinking 300. Fair? But then I noticed it appears the serial number has been scratched out. On the rear drop out, doesn't it? 

    I'll have to ask him about that.

  4. Virus nicknamed ‘Bunny Ebola’ spreading around Colorado rabbit population

    A deadly virus nicknamed “Bunny Ebola” has made its way into Colorado and experts believe it’s starting to spread rapidly throughout the state.

     

    There's the whole article. In depth and investigative. 

    But really, fucking rabbits have been out of control this summer. I've never seen them so active.

    I think I'm only a DVR person when it comes to TV, how it that possible???

    I kinda quit using the DVR much too when I had cable because almost everything was on demand and I got sick of organizing shit. But YTTV's on demand sucks, so now I'll take advantage of the unlimited probably. 

  6. Haha. Motherfucker. I just got that shit a month ago and don't even think they sent me an email saying the price was increasing. 

    Still worth it to me for a while, but it's the only streaming live tv service I've used. 

    I do pay for the 12$ Hulu service that I rarely use. Isn't all that stuff included with Hulu Live for 55? So I'd be cutting back 22$ per month switch to Hulu Live, correct? Still have never even seen that platform though. 

  7.  My mother has an iPhone and I don't know shit about them. She saw me use Google Lens to identify a plant in her yard and now she has to have that for her phone. Is this built in to the camera, or is there a free app that works well for this?

    Is there a tennis player in the household?

    I borrowed a racquetball racquet from a buddy who gets bats and told me those work better with the shorter handle. I was all ready, then I found it under my backpack by the front door. I had locked it in a back bedroom, I thought, so maybe this is a different one. Haven't seen another one though.

    Just an FYI.  The Surfboard SB6190 docsis 3.1 uses the PUMA 6 chipset which is absolute trash.  If you game with this modem, you're going to experience ping issues out the wazoo. 

    I use the SB6183 and it works like a charm.

    Thanks. I don't know shit about chipsets. I read a bunch of reviews and saw the SB on there, but not sure which one. I ended up going with a NETGEAR CM1000.- 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1. 

    A bunch of those 3.1 were out of stock. Is that a new OS, or whatever docsis is considered? I saw it was backward compatible, but don't know any other differences.

    Get your own modem and a separate router.  They will tell you if you're getting a signal to the modem.  I think they'll tell you if the think the modem is an issue.  But if unplugging/replugging the power on the modem doesn't get you all blue lights, it's probably something on their end.  Just make sure the modem supports the speeds you're paying for.

    That's what I ended up doing. They said I had to get the docsis 3.1 so I should be covered.

    They probably lied to me because those are a lot more expensive than the 3.0 and wanted me to rent. 

  11. So I'm gonna upgrade my internet and am wondering what speed and data amount for YTTV. The company has lifted data limits until the end of August, so I figure I can just get the cheaper one for now and upgrade to more data when they cap it again. 

    The lowest plan is 60 Mbps down. Is that going to be ok until I need to upgrade the data amount? The higher data limits come with higher speeds as well, so the 60 Mbps would be for a couple months just to take advantage of the unlimited data for a couple months. 

    When I do upgrade, my options will be 400, 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000 GB per month. 

    I was thinking 2000 or 4000? I live alone and just stream TV and browse the web. Am I going down the right path here? 

  12. So what about the combo modem/router they give you? That is like 12 bucks a month, but I am better off using my own router, just for quality purposes, correct? 

    I'm wondering if I should just get my own modem too, but will they "troubleshoot" that if something goes wrong with the service and it's my equipment?

    What city/area was that?

    That's in Iowa. I think it's a pretty common snake around here. I was in Texas for so many years that I thought it was a rattler, then I got closer and he was just having an afternoon sun nap and didn't care about me at all. 

    Seems like they're pretty chill snakes, from what I remember growing up here.

    Shit - sorry everyone.  I said I wouldn't be the overly dramatic nancy I hated reading on these forums and I clearly became one the last several posts.  I'll go back to trying to post facts without being a bitch or I told you so asshole.  

    You could start by explaining to me like a child, if what you're saying is there is a different virus that is less potent, or the same virus is now less potent? And what does that all mean?

    So today is day 60 for me. It's amazing how things seem to fall into place when I let go of control and self direction and not worry about tomorrow. I left rehab 30 days ago without a pot to piss in and started delivering for Amazon to keep myself fed. This week, I got a job offer that comes with a 10% increase over my last role. Then yesterday, I found out TWC ruled in my favor on my unemployment appeal. I will shortly be receiving 8 weeks of backdated benefits with the federal covid kicker.

    How long ago did you file with TWC? I'm out on my ass right now, too. It sucks, but like has been said, definitely better thing to deal with sober.

    I've yet to find something that is better to deal with or do drunk.  Weird how that works when the drink was the main driving factor of your life for so many years.

    I am not an addict but confess that I come to this thread sometimes when I want to see hope, unity and honest self reflection. You guys are badasses. Keep fighting the good fight friends.

    Lot of good folks on here with a lot of perspective. Perspective through an addict's eyes may be different, but everybody knows what it feels like to be hopeless at times.

    My family and I will be burying my mother in a few hours and I gotta tell ya, being able to suit up and show up just like all the normies is no small miracle. No real regrets, nothing was left unsaid or undone. No sibling squabbles this past week. Just a full and grateful heart. Stick around they said, do the work they said, wait for the miracle they said. Very glad that I did. ;) 

    Good thoughts your way, devil man. I dread the day I have to do that, but the way I was going, she would have been burying me which a mother should never have to do. 

    I'm sure you've thought about it that way more than once.
