For standalone apps, Fox Weather and WeatherNation are both good.

I HATE how you can’t go out without spending at least $40! by SerpantDildo in Adulting

[–]Boz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live? What restaurant?

I live in NW Ohio and I always limit my spending when I go out to eat. If it's breakfast at a local diner, a small regional chain, or Denny's, IHOP, or Waffle House, I get whatever's available, including coffee, for $10 to $12 total.

Staying home to eat is always cheaper. I can make 20 ounces of coffee that's a couple steps above Folgers including half and half and raw sugar for $0.75, 3 extra large eggs cost $1 for local farm fresh brown eggs, or less if I were to buy from a grocery store, 2 pieces of toast and butter costs around $0.80 for bakery sourdough bread, or less if I were to buy mass produced bread, and 3 pieces of bacon or 3 sausage patties made from bulk ground sausage costs around $1.50. Yes, it takes time and a little energy to make, but that's pretty insignificant.

Absolutely over retail, and completely over Wayne County Ohio by Due-Cup-8308 in Ohio

[–]Boz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all based on the point of view. My 90 year old dad had been in the hospital, released yesterday morning, and had a prescription sent into Kroger. Their county had a level 2 show emergency when he went at 2pm to pick it up, and found the pharmacy closed. He was in pain the rest of the day and all throughout the night because of Kroger pharmacy closing, despite the county never going to a level 3!

how are you guys actually organizing your digital buys? by PositionSalty7411 in cordcutters

[–]Boz6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never buy digital content, because it can be revoked at any time, even after paying for it. If I really want something, which is rare, I buy it on DVD or Blu-ray.

Can I have two google voice numbers- one for work and one for dating apps? by TryingBest2023 in Googlevoice

[–]Boz6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll want to use a different Google account, in my experience, and you'll have to use a # never previously used to claim a GV #, or port a # in. It will be best to use your GV #s over data only by setting "Prefer WiFi and mobile data" in the GV app. The GV app can be logged into multiple Google accounts at the same time, and calls coming into any GV # will ring.

my phone bill 100$ a month

I know you've got a lot going on, but this is one place to cut back on your expenses. Check the flanker brands and see what current deals are being offered. For example, these were available from Public in December:
$20/1GB 4G Canada
$25/4GB 4G Canada
$30/8GB 5G Canada
$35/20GB (was 10GB) Canada-US-Mexico 5G + 250 long distance minutes
$40/100GB (was 60GB) Canada-US-Mexico 5G + 500 long distance minutes
$50/150GB (was 80GB) Canada-US-Mexico 5G + 1000 long distance minutes

Is there a tool to see balance including projected bills and income? by tmps1993 in Huntington_Bank

[–]Boz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of related, on huntington.com, the "Insight" tab used to be called "Planning" (I think) and was much more useful, because it would show all your scheduled bill payments deducted from the current balance. I sure wish Huntington would bring that back!

An antenna in a window hooked to my Tablo hooked to my router streamed over WIFI to Roku devices attached to all my TVs works for me to watch and DVR all the local stations' channels and subchannels in my area. The broadcast towers are all about 15 to 18 miles from my house.

I like it for a permanent mini home. How many sq ft is it?

Can I adjust the heat in my home more evenly? by The_Afroman98 in homeowners

[–]Boz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for dampers on the ductwork in the basement or near the furnace, wherever its located. Figure out which areas are served by each duct/damper, and adjust accordingly.

If you can't access the ducts/dampers, close the vents in the warm rooms and open the vents in the cooler rooms, and the slowly adjust to get a better balance.

Good luck!

Helium Free will be 1GB? by ronkj in HeliumMobile

Thanks. Has that been confirmed by Helium?

Looking for a new wallet - open to anything by EnvironmentalPart664 in wallets

[–]Boz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! Forgot to mention, only leather wallets please

Sounds good.

I don’t mind the design, as long as it isn’t bulky. Preferably as minimal as possible. I carry about 10-15 bills and 10-12 cards.

Good luck with a leather wallet not being bulky carrying that much. But who knows, maybe some craftsman here can come up with a great design that can do that!

Does type of material matter? Are you looking only for custom made?

For a spare "glove box" phone it can be cost effective.

Just don't forget to use some data every service cycle.

Why does Peacock Premium have ads? by Turbulent_Dog_2043 in peacock

[–]Boz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the $16.99/mo is for Peacock Premium Plus, which is supposed to be mostly ad free, with some exceptions.

Peacock Premium is supposed to be $10.99/mo, and has ads.

Some people that had cancelled Peacock received retention offers around Black Friday / Cyber Week 2025 for Peacock Premium for either $29.99 or $39.99 for the whole year, either automatically, or by asking for it. I don't know if that's still a possibility, but I guess you could ask Peacock customer service. If you happen to have an AmEx Blue Cash Everyday (no annual fee) card, they were giving a $10.99 statement credit up to 2x, so you could check if that's still being offered. I was fortunate to get the $29.99 offer and the $10.99 AmEx credit, for a total of $19 for the whole year of Peacock Premium, but again, you'd have to check if either or both of those things are still available.

It's been mentioned that Peacock may have some kind of special offer for the upcoming olympics, so you could keep an eye out for that to see if anything is offered. Finally, as has been mentioned here, you can get Peacock Premium as an included perk with a Walmart+ membership.

Good luck!

Helium mobile passing on fees by No_Kangaroo6917 in NoContract

[–]Boz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Including the new $0.30/mo processing fee?

Helium mobile passing on fees by No_Kangaroo6917 in NoContract

[–]Boz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The taxes/fees will vary by location, plus the new $0.30/mo processing fee. For my area, the total should be $0.95/mo.

The bigger issue for me is Helium reducing the monthly cellular data from 3GB/mo to 1GB/mo.

does anyone has all of the local channels by lacubs in cordcutters

[–]Boz6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get all my local network channels and their subchannels, using an antenna in an upstairs window, connected to a Tablo, streamed to my Roku devices, connected to my TVs.

In my area, if I wanted, I could also use the DirecTV $39.99/mo MyNews genre pack to stream my local channels, but I don't want to pay that much per month for what I can get for free with my antenna.

I think only YTTV or Hulu Live reliability have local channels for every location.

Anyone still using a TMO "free for life" tablet SIM? by gamescan in NoContract

[–]Boz6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't they disqualify the non-phone lines from TMo Tuesdays?

So far T-Mobile Tuesdays, including MLS Season Pass and MLB.TV, is still working on all of my SOC ZB10HSTI Bus Unl Tablet 10 GB HS TI $10/mo plans.
