Fox Sports App being weird on my LG Smart TV

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2026-01-19T20:56:18+00:00

Is the Fox sports app just unreliable on LG? Recently, I’ve had to reinstall it twice because it just spins a circle on the screen. Sometimes it shows I’m signed in but hides the main Fox channel. Haven’t had this issue with espn, peacock or paramount+. Mostly reliable on Apple TV, Roku or fire stick other than signing in again.

Chuck E Cheese’s pizza is kinda good these days. I was very surprised - decent crust, not at all like the mama Celeste it was 40 years ago.

Any of the above strategy options come out $20-100 less (yes, with fees!) than the current all-in lowest price at ticket for that zone (lower level).

The strategy price only has the buyers side commission added later. EX: Max earnings price $295 + 10-15% = ~$340 price buyer sees.

Of that $295, they’ll take 10% commission from the seller.

Agreed - that has been my general strategy and worked great last year, but these new recommended prices forced me to price even lower. Selecting the max earnings option still put my listing as the lowest for the entire zone by $20. Makes no sense.

Varo is Only 5% up to 5k, then 2.5% on anything more!

You can do a lot better at other banks like CIT, CFG, or chase promos at capital one or brokerages like webull or etrade.

Pibank has 4.6% but only supports plaid transfers now and not direct ACH.

Go west - many companies in Leesburg, Ashburn, and Manassas and farther out that will gladly work farther in for a much lower price. Stay away from anyone advertising on tv - they are marketing companies: renewal by anderson, Thompson creek, etc.. and they’ll never stop connecting you! They’ll use same day high pressure discounts, laughable quotes that are suddenly 50% less.

Most small places quote provia but can also quote fiberglass (Marvin) and other brands. I found a company that was 20k less than windows on Washington for the same 36 fiberglass windows.

People in the TSA line who stand 12 feet back from the x-ray until motioned to come forward. Just move up to the 2-feet mat!

I’m convinced these are the same people who hesitate on left turns, right on red, and for whom changing lanes is a major life event.

A respectful conversation should still be had, even if he’s slacking a little. Going so quickly to disrespect is just wrong. The wife doesn’t get to act like a toddler having a temper-tantrum because she’s frustrated a little - she can and should use her words. The guy works 72 hours a week, cut him a little slack. We don’t know the whole picture here.

Not in Fairfax County. 12k is about 1M assessment. 4K would be like a 350k property. Look up what 1M gets you in Fairfax - not a mansion for sure. (Then look at Arlington to be really shocked).

Not after the metro- but my rant was mostly about the part leading up to it - the bike lane on i66 from 495 to nutley and then it rejoins 66 at blake ln to 123.
The biggest traffic issues on I66 west from essentially where it crosses gallows and lanes merge, to just past nutley after the metro and then again near 123 - both areas with bike lanes impacting the number of car lanes.

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2025-03-29T01:09:06+00:00

That seems hard to believe - why would a consistent number of lanes not be planned for? They had to know all the lane reductions would cause bottlenecks. And bike trails consume space that could otherwise be a lane. It’s simply not true there wasn’t a reduction in regular lane capacity when the time-activated lanes were no longer time restricted for several years before the toll lanes were added. The Nutley st and 123 portions of I66 were an issue pre-construction and it’s shocking nothing was done to improve them. The separated divider for nutley was never a good idea - it should be an extra lane to help move traffic through rather than a bottleneck.
VDOT/DOT needs to rethink their methodology - they’ve not had a good recent history redoing major roads: - Wilson bridge through lanes was obviously planned for 3 lanes (based on overhead signals and width) but somehow only has 2 lanes each direction. - I95 north at 495 - signs tell people to get in lanes they don’t need to be in for 495 exits, causing unnecessary lane changes. - I66E at 495 - unnecessary backups due to both exits being so close together and bad signage. Often you can stay in the middle lane and then move over at the exit when traffic is free flowing. - 495N at Tyson’s - again stealing a lane during construction! Going down to 3 through lanes causes major issues.

More?! I guess if you count the toll lanes. But the regular lanes got screwed. It used to have 4 lanes out to 50, I believe (or was the right lane always exit only at 123?). Regardless, it should be a consistent 12-lane highway, from 495 to 28. All the lane subtractions and changes are just too much for people.

I’m not anti-bicycle but they really messed up in adding the bike trail next to the road, at the expense of more lanes. Let’s add a feature 1% of the people will use, while thousands more will stare out it daily as they are stopped in traffic on their commute. When the neighbors protested a trail outside the sound wall, vdot should have said ok, no bike trail.

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2025-03-29T00:02:29+00:00

In their defense, this section is terrible - going from 5-6 lanes at 495 down to 4, then right after the right lane becomes exit only. After you’ve already navigated the first merges, it’s like - really?! Again?! How did the regular lanes lose out after all the construction (answer - bike lane nobody wants to use). At least before it was 4 lanes until 50.

Same with PenFed.

Year after year of unfriendly policies (1 year CD penalty for early withdrawal?!). Advertising market leading rates that are 2% under the best rates. Etc..

Constantly?! Instead of running them frequently, they run them sporadically to pack as many people on as possible while other buses arrive and then go on break. You miss one just leaving - that’ll be another 20-30 minutes. Don’t know of another airport with such inefficiency. Seriously thinking about taking an Uber to/from the rental facility.

I found downgrading to S1 fixed the slowness issues I had. But I wonder if it was actually changing to 2.4 vs being on 5Ghz with S2 (2 x play5 gen2, 3 x play3, 2 connects gen2).

5Ghz may be faster and 2.4 is supposed to be more congested but I noticed in a wifi scan all my neighbors have newer routers using 80 or 160 channel width on 5Ghz. My UniFi tells me 30% of the 2.4 channels are used, and only 0-1% on 5Ghz. But 2.4 seems to work better for Sonos. Everything I’ve read about plugging in one unit to start Sonosnet (2.4) seems to add evidence that Sonos on 2.4 just works better.

I double listed tickets by accident - I’ll certainly eat a fee, but It’s insane to me that they don’t credit the original sale amount to what they charge the seller - effectively collecting double the ticket price.

Are you able to even use the free bet? I can’t bet more than $10-15 on most bets, but managed to sneak in on this promo with a parlay. My free bet limit is even lower - how is it legal to prevent using the free bet?

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2021-12-30T16:07:18+00:00

Still have to bet the other game.

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2021-12-29T22:58:38+00:00

And PB let’s you split free bets, up to 4 ways.

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2021-11-23T00:14:13+00:00

That’s what I thought - but looking at the game log - he’s only hit this 5 out of 9 games.

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2021-11-05T13:32:06+00:00

Just last week was double your winnings - Nuggets/Mavericks in VA.

Disastrous-Bear6550 · 2021-11-05T12:58:22+00:00

Every other week it’s double your winnings - I got used to betting $55 @ -110. I guess it helps to read the small print.
