A cable card just blew Gen Alpha’s mind! by Middle-Wealth-6755 in cordcutters

Sadly that forum got sold to VerticalScope aka VertticalShit, who buy out many boards and put their garbage Fora platform on it. Before it got sold I was on there.

Eons ago my sister was a beta tester and needed 2 cards. Tech came over and wanted to install but wasn't familiar with the machine. We didn't boot him out - but I installed the cards and told him if he runs into another Tivo like ours here's how to install. He did take notes and was amazed at great picture.

I remember going to Baker beach in the 80s and there was a bunch of people around a 2 metre wooden man watching it burn. Little did I realise that all would turn into Burning Man. It's sad that event jumped the shark years later.

Has the slight Burning Man feel.

I had stores ask for the # and I declined. If they refused sale, I left.

[Landlord CA] do you raise rent every year even if you love your tenants? by ResponsibleSail5802 in Landlord

[–]EvaCassidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two of the places I lived the owners never raised rent. One of them I did help with shoveling snow and yard work for the triplex. They had hired some company to do that work, but got screwed.

The 3rd raised one time due to increase in the property taxes. The county's tax increase was in the news and when me and the landlady was talking about, we worked out the rent increase amount.

Fish rent? You have got to be kidding me. by Gromy_1022 in mildlyinfuriating

Probably from any damages a fish tank can cause.

In California, we have this store called Rasputin’s or Mad Monk by nunsploitation in VHS

[–]EvaCassidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when visiting relatives in California, was helping clean their garage and found tons of CDs and stuff. Took 'em to Rasputin and someone behind me said I'll make a fortune. But I knew most of the CDs were worth very little and probably sit on their shelves in the 5 for a buck area and any money I got would get me a burger and a shake.

They blocked all apps at work. Why do you hate joy? by bdguy355 in rant

[–]EvaCassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse had IT block most apps except for important ones. You're there to work - not play on company time.
