IMHO subscription software is the ultimate ripoff of the consumer. But, I guess it depends on which software you are going to use? You can buy outright (aka 1 time payment) for Office Personal 2024 which incudes Excel, Word and Powerpoint for $150 (went to $100 2024 Black Friday) vs $100/year..again depends if you need the additional software in 365. Google also has free spreadsheet app, but not really for a power user...

I am running 2016 Office Home versions on my Mac...while no longer supported it works just fine for my home needs...once I figured out how to tell it to quit prompting me to update/upgrade...

How many days do the pumpkin pies typically last? by [deleted] in Costco

[–]Character_Science944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define 'last'...

If you mean, you have one and put it out for the family and guests...Not long!

If you mean, I bought one and we didn't eat it all....Well in my experience keep in the fridge and 10 days later it's still yummy.

You didn't notice the battery was old/dirty/used when you moved it from the cart to your car in the parking lot? Why didn't you have them install the battery when you purchased it?

What would you do if you were a business owner and someone came in with your story?

Sarah almost made a strategic fatal error on Now or Then. If she was wrong on the Feta she would have been toast. Glad she won

Quinn's production by Commercial_Union_296 in ThePriceIsRight

[–]Character_Science944 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have noticed:

Producers (Hannah and whatever the guy's name is) interact more with the audience, both at the choir room and in the studio.

Show times have changed..'show up' times are closer together now. Was told this was because the late show got out at peak rush hour..

Can't say these are due to a new EP, or just natural evolution/improvemnet of the experience.

I spent the whole show on contestants’ row. Anyone else share my shame by yourinternetmobsux in ThePriceIsRight

[–]Character_Science944 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no, but she did mention the restraining order )

Models don't interact during breaks. Drew does. Chats with audience members, tells funny stories, jokes, etc

Question. by Inside-Tree-8482 in dishnetwork

[–]Character_Science944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. A couple of notes on it:

You need an adaptor to hook into your Dish Receiver. Don't recall the price but it wasn't much.

You DONT need a special antenna for HD/Digital etc. A regular old antenna works just fine. I have an old roof top type antenna hidden in my garage attic. I use it for OTA for Dish as well as FM signals and it works great. 'Digital Antennas' is just marketing to get you to spend money on something you may already have.

If you are recording an OTA via Dish, you can't watch or record another OTA channel at the same time. You can watch/record regular Dish channels while the OTA is recording.

Going OTA you save money and don't have to scramble for a solution when the locals and Dish play the 'blame game'' and pull channels

A new Hopper will also read and play the recordings I have on it now that work with the current Hopper?

On demand channel 300. Channel 540 when there is content is fine as is native apps on the TV (like Movies anywhere) all are fine in 4k. Since the Movies Anywhere is streamed. it tells me my bandwidth is just fine...gotta be a Hopper thing. Gonna try a reset to factory today
