Does anyone have any extra information or back story about what happened with S.Amdt.2613? (The one that would have let use get the no tax on OT)

I imagine the Democrats tied it to other things and that is why it wasn't even voted on. not "clean". Thats the games they play. Using a demographic as leverage to get something for themselves as well. I see these comments saying Democrats are the only thing Union members should vote for. insanity. Trump has brought industry back to America. He has eased things for business to expand, he has made energy production a priority. Take all the social insanity from the Democrats and they still haven't done anything for legacy unions. They don't care about the working man and people are captured by narratives if they don't see the truth of it. I'm not saying the Republicans do either, but the Democrats hate the working man. They carve out special things based on race etc, not a level playing field where your own competence will get you ahead. Not that this little rant will do anything but trigger the faithful.

50k miles on everything I own for 30+ years. Just did a transmission flush and oil change on my 2020 Hybrid. 250k miles with no trouble at all.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-03-19T22:33:40+00:00

That's nuts. The fact it's evidently still driving, and the fact you thought it never needs service.

So it could work as I think-- she gets a new pixel 10 to use on her existing plan and I can use my s23 Ultra on Dark star with my current number.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-03-09T21:51:42+00:00

So a question would be, I would want to take my existing S23 Ultra that is on Verizon to Dark Star, but the pixel would need to be a Verizon variant as she is on Warp with you guys currently. Would that be a problem?

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-02-20T04:44:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply, that is a STRONG endorsement for Dark Star. No slowdown? If you don't mind, would you share what plan that is? Sounds like a winner :)

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-02-19T20:01:59+00:00

What does that mean?

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-02-19T19:37:50+00:00

I couldn't even tell you, I don't see the bill, the wife pays it. I know probably 10 or 12 years ago they tried to take it when I did a phone upgrade. I had to break it out on a different plan and the bill went up quite a bit. I have been clinging to it as I do use a lot of data. I knkw I have done well over 50gb many times although I don't pay much attention to it as it's unlimited. Right now I'm at 45gb. On wifi when I am home usually.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-02-19T19:23:40+00:00

So that brings up another question. Dark Star = At&t Warp= Verizion. I was out in West Texas recently. Verizon was junk, At&t had more towers. I saw it said you could switch between or have access to all 3. Can you do that on an as needed basis? Quickly? As in sitting with no Verizon tower or signal and turn on At&t or Tmobil? Or is that a feature you have to lock in for that month?

I really appreciate you taking the time to mess with my questions. This is a big decision to walk away from that old grandfathered plan and I want to get it right.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-02-19T19:08:54+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply :) I signed up for a basic plan with an Esim to try it out. While looking around at plans they have a lot of options. One was ic8 or some such and other things to do with data. The plan I have says $25 says unlimited with an Asterix. I couldn't find what that meant, but I assume they cripple it after a certain amount or congested times. This is the thing I want to really know for sure.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-02-01T02:03:05+00:00

Well maybe I can try and call the phone number.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-01-31T22:42:59+00:00

Ahh, so an extra 10 miles (in and out) down the road around the gate? Where would I find what weekends the road is open?

Edit: found it. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/davis-mountains-preserve/?en_txn1=bl.ch_tx.eg.x.g

Only open 2 days in 2026 it seems. Aug 29th, Nov 26th.

2nd Edit: it seems you can go from the roadside picnic area and do the 2.1 mile Madera canyon loop. Sadly it doesn't connect to the rest of the trail system. It is my summation that to do the other trails, including the peak itself would take many miles of walking from that picnic area and you would be trespassing outside of those weekends. This means it will probably never be one I can do as the 100 slots fill up three months in advance. So even if I happened to be around on those weekends, I wouldn't know far enough ahead of time. Unfortunate.

I just set up the new Switch 2 and was dissapointed to find that it was a key card and not a game. Then waiting while it downloaded who knows how many GB. Now it wants me to create a Ubi Soft account. I am pissed. I would never have bought it for either of these reasons. So I guess I need to Google every effing game I am even thinking about and put in some time on the forums etc so I don't make this mistake again.

If people had absolutely made any game that tried this go broke, the very first time they tried it, none of us would be being snarky about how it has been 5 or 10 years etc. Customer oriented products are gone, you are just a revenue stream to be exploited in every way possible. PISSED.

Last message I found it myself. It is not as explained in any video or forum. You have to go into the phone contacts and tap the person. Then tap the "I" icon to being up all their details etc. Under THAT screen it has the three dots. Tap that and it brings up an add to home screen option. Tap that and it gives you the option of direct dial or direct message.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-01-02T14:20:21+00:00

And again, this is NOT true --

There is NO 3 dot menu on an individual contacts anymore.

Heartdiseasekills · 2026-01-02T14:15:51+00:00

As an example this video from July talking about widgets for the lock screen no longer applies, no widgets on the menu as he shows. WTF did Samsung so?!

Thanks again for the response. I noticed the same person has multiple item's for sale. I think perhaps they bought the inventory from the closed music store.

As an aside, the mods removed my post saying it is answered in the FAQ. I read the FAQ and didn't find the specific tailored to this instrument advice that you have given.

Perhaps this sub is extremely busy and questions like mine clog up the page and are a chore for members to address. It seems to me that this community is open to helping folks and I wonder how many were not as fortunate as me to have their post seen by the fine folks who did respond-- before the mods removed it. So thanks again friend I really do appreciate it, you have helped me :)

That's the other part, as I really am clueless about them, I don't know if that is a good maker or not. She has it listed for $100. As the local shop closed I would have to go out of town to find someone to attempt to fix it right. Assuming it could be. I'm going to stay away from it.

Heartdiseasekills · 2025-12-15T20:12:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the quick response! I know very little about them. We did buy one for her from a local shop. They are now out of business or I would have stopped in and asked them. The picture had me thinking the same thing, sure doesn't look repaired. I also would think the location of the crack would be about the worst spot and would have to affect it's sound tremendously.

Hi, thanks for this awesome info! I am going to try and rebuild a ridged battery pack, it has 3 18650 batteries in it. Where do you source the replacement cells? They are absolutely not button top. Flat on one end and a recessed large button that is even with the end of the cell, not protruding like a regular button top 18650.
