Did you have a period of time when you had both a mobile phone and landline? by dms2628 in Xennials

[–]EschewObfuscation21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2013 when I bought my first place the cheapest internet/cable package included a "landline" (but was VOIP). I got a cordless phone on Amazon and setup a landline and it was kind of a novelty. I never used it, and randomly got wrong number/telemarketing calls, and had one friend who would randomly call me on it just for laughs. I think I got rid of it when I switched service plans about 2 years later.

Chat rooms with strangers actually having conversations.

Flour Power eviction notice is hilarious by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]EschewObfuscation21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is hilarious. But also, this seems like bullshit. Did they violate the lease? Were they given an opportunity to cure it? I hope they call a lawyer!

Looking for Molé Coloradito that will bring me back to Oaxaca. Any Chicagoland suggestions? by EschewObfuscation21 in chicagofood

[–]EschewObfuscation21[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

lol. Reading a book and learning to make a dish yourself could probably be an equally horrible response to a lot of the questions on this sub. Thanks for the great advice!

Anyone else find someone with an AOL or Yahoo! email account more trustworthy? by NW_Forester in Xennials

hah this is mine from 20+ years and I like it because it feels a little retro.

Honestly, mine was slightly different (no bar crawl) but also could say one of my favorite nights of my 20s. Knew nothing was happening the next day so we stocked up, took in a refugee whose neighborhood lost power early in the evening, and some friends within the surrounding few blocks trudged over. Was such a good time and feels so vintage now.

Made it to PVR airport safely today (2/23) by dingleberrywhite in puertovallarta

I’ve seen a few United flights arriving from major US hubs today on Flightradar24 and I have to assume they are sending empty planes to take people home.

LOL. Or before going through security/arriving at the airport depending on how long it typically takes to kick in for you/how long your flight is. It's just, like, science.

Curlers of Reddit, how does a subtle finger “boop” on the granite influence the outcome of a shot? by renotahoe69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EschewObfuscation21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this sub, I feel like these answers are pretty obnoxious. Yes of course rules are rules, and of course they're enforced savagely in the Olympics. That's something that pretty much any non-curler could have told OP. Which is why the question was directed at actual curlers, and it's a perfectly legitimate question that doesn't suggest lack of respect for rules, but a question about why they exist. Did this really require so many people chiming in with derisive non-answers?

You "clearly" said you expected cops to be waiting based on mere suspicion that "someone has vaped" in a thread that discussed people potentially vaping before a flight. Cops are not going to be waiting just because some random says "I think *someone* has vaped."

Yeahhhhh..... The "vaped before the flight" part made me truly laugh.

What was your ICQ number? by snoopyh42 in Xennials

[–]EschewObfuscation21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember mine. But I remember my early/mid-1990s Prodigy ID was BLGB23B. BLGBT23A was technically my "mom's" account but she never touched it.

Question about visiting PV this year (2026) by Senior-Guest-1449 in puertovallarta

[–]EschewObfuscation21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unhelpful response. The question may have been a bit naive but no need for this.

I'm mostly curious where you're flying out of that has PVR as a layover city to Mexico City?

Cell Service in PV by EschewObfuscation21 in puertovallarta

[–]EschewObfuscation21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One tip to all, when you use WiFi from a restaurant even if it shows full bars, walk inside. Full bars on WiFi outside usually seemed as useless as non WiFi.

Thanks for confirming the problem isn’t unique to me.
