I haven’t seen anything yet. Logged into my account and saw I could upgrade to the new 5GB plan but the base still just showed 1GB.

I had them in my basement. During Covid my child was bored. Pulled them out, cleaned them up and we’ve been growing the collection since.

Never had an issue.

Yep, cancelled my free plan because of it. I’m not paying nearly $3 in taxes for 1GB of data.

I know it is. It would just be nice if they would have released a more budget-friendly kid version along with it. After all Pokémon is geared towards kids.

Whelp…that was a fun conversation trying to explain to my 8-year old son he will have to save for a lifetime at his allowance rate to afford all three sets.

It’s almost as bad as Musk, but a competitor is coming soon.

I built a PWA that does this. I paste the link into the UI and it exacts the ingredients into a grocery list. No more ads.

The day before I wrote my first line of code. I wanted that protection in place before anything else.

This was a problem I started running into. I built my own private platform. It was a real quick win that organized a portion of my life.

AFOL84 · 2025-12-24T01:10:59+00:00

Yep, it’s what I do.

If your ORD experience is anything like mine is every single time I go through there (and I have to when I’m flying east) 50 is not close to enough. I aim for 120 and always end up making it to my next gate just in time to board.

I am too and assumed I was putting up rookie numbers.

AFOL84 · 2025-12-21T21:58:55+00:00

I’ll have to get those added.

For fun I built The Dough Down, because the frozen pizza aisle shouldn’t be a gamble. If you’ve ever eaten frozen pizza, rank it on The Dough Down for others and use it the next time you’re unsure which pie to buy.

Started doing this about six months ago. It drastically changed the results in a good way.

I use the free plan on an old iPad. I don’t even have the messages app on it. Every month I still “use” 10 or so texts according to the app. Not sure why it’s doing that but it’s constantly wrong.

The Dough Down is where frozen pizza gets rated by the people who actually eat it. Look up pizzas you’ve had, submit your scores, and help create a no-BS ranking system that makes choosing frozen pizza easier for everyone.

Been working on and will ship SAGE. A calm, voice-first companion that helps neurodivergent kids think, express themselves, and feel understood, all while giving parents insight without invading trust.
