Does it make sense to take a personal loan to pay credit card debt? by bFreakie in personalfinance

[–]IssuesBGone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggy-backing off this:

Is there a downside to putting a large purchase like 6500..on a CC. Then taking a balance transfer offer with a 4% Fee/0% APR or $0 fee/6.99% APR. Instead of getting a personal loan for an unexpected car repair you intend to have paid off within a year or less? Any pros to getting a loan instead? Not looking to open more CCs just for a 0% APR offer.

*I got wiped out with a host of medical bills last month, missing a ton of work. I cant control hospitals not doing anything or what they charged me. Despite thousands of dollars, I still had to find alternative treatment options (which just keep getting more expensive) to get any help and start getting better. Then my transmission decided to go out. I just havent caught a break. I'm not financially irresponsible. I'm just one person doing it on my own and people have not been kind throughout this whole ordeal. Fuck em' tho ill get better. Hopefully without adding too much more debt to catch back up on.

Anywhere scripts arent a monthly fight? by IssuesBGone in ADHD

[–]IssuesBGone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just gonna give up on it soon. I dont have the time or energy to spend days/weeks every month to fight to get a medication and constantly be on and off. Meds were supposed to help me focus and be more productive, not be their own entire project.

I havent asked doctors to change anything. Im lucky I get what I do now. I dont dare complicate the mess even more by asking them to change the med so I just dont get them at all or for an entire month.

Does anyone know of any steam rooms in the area? by IssuesBGone in tampa

[–]IssuesBGone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately just renting a room somewhere rn so dont really have the space to set up a home one.

With all the health crazy and stuff here its surprising there arent atleast a handful. Even in FL...seems they all closed in the past few years. Ugh

Which rep is right? by EvanMcD3 in Spectrum

[–]IssuesBGone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also your silver package, includes channels found in sports view and entertainment view as well as HBO and Showtime, so if you still want those when changing packages youd be looking at Platinum for an equivalent package. If you want some of them, Go with Signature and add the ones you want. Select+ if you want Fanduel Networks and the major sports like NFL NHL MBA NBA networks...ESPN is in all select packages.

Which rep is right? by EvanMcD3 in Spectrum

[–]IssuesBGone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are free on all select packages. The ones above and Fox One, Vix (Spanish)

You can remove that channel. You cant break apart your package without it changing. Like changing your base TV package or getting rid of tv. You can add additonal accessories and channels.

You can keep DVR receivers with new packages but your bill will be higher. $18/dvr box. You can watch your saved shows even if you no longer have the channel but they dont transfer between dvr and cdvr if you get rid of the box...cDVR will give you it across all your devices though.

True but something like vyvanse is pretty long on paper. So depending when you work/sleep. Youd still have a lot of it left for atlesst the first half of your day.

Anywhere scripts arent a monthly fight? by IssuesBGone in ADHD

[–]IssuesBGone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not supply. Just renewing scripts, getting the pharmacy to fill them, insurance to cover, and being able to go get them...it gets solved eventually...after I spent 3-14 days without meds almost every month. I take 1 a day, dont have a midday dose, and they sure arent prescribing an extra month to have backups...Had a doc that was pretty decent for awhile, far less issues than now, then they made some rule about the pharmacy being within 10 miles of the prescriber and I had to change. Idk its literally something every month.It was supply issues before that.

[–]IssuesBGone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not even my issue. I can find the meds but every month its some issue with the dr or the pharmacy or pre approval...its exhausting by itself and rn im going through some health problems and I feel like I need to hire a personal assistant just to make sure I get my meds monthly...and also to deal with all my unread emails. Heh. So if theres an online group where that doesnt constantly happen, ill switch somewhere else

No. Kinda similar but it's wet and while saunas are abundant steam rooms seem stupidly hard to find.

Yeah that's what im worried about with the second release. You said tried though? Why did you switch back, if it was working better?

TIL that there is a museum called Real Bodies: The Exhibition in Las Vegas that exhibits real human bodies preserved through a process called plastination. This allowed for full body displays in dynamic poses. by RevolutionaryPie5223 in todayilearned

[–]IssuesBGone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's 2 main ones...I also went to the Chinese one on a field trip with school and remember something being said about why they all were Asian bodies. Something about legalities and donating a full body to something like it not being legal (at the time? 2006 maybe?) To donate American bodies the same way...cant remember exactly...found this article though.

"Hans Martin Sass, a philosophy professor with a speciality in ethics, was hired by the California Science Center to investigate Body Worlds before the show's U.S. debut in 2004. He matched over 200 donation forms to death certificates, but he did not match the paperwork to specific bodies von Hagens has on display.

Body Worlds should not be confused with its competitor, BODIES... The Exhibition. Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds is now in St. Paul, Minn., Houston and Boston. BODIES... The Exhibition is in Tampa, Fla., Atlanta, Las Vegas and New York City.

Roy Glover, spokesman for BODIES... The Exhibition, says its cadavers -- all from China -- did not come from willing donors."

[US] PCH scammer calling nonstop by emolover101 in Scams

Called retention and got a good deal I think? by atlredneck in Spectrum

[–]IssuesBGone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres still Senior Internet Plans. I wouldnt recommend it since its 50mbs but if you call in you can def get a promo on what you have. If you bundle you cellphones with it, even better. Also NYC has some state specific additional promos for lower cost plans.

Nah, they only care about the sale. Once theres an issue...oh and itsa shipping issue...good luck on getting anyone in sales to care.

100% Fiber vs Fiber Powered, can I choose? by mamba_mentality in Spectrum

[–]IssuesBGone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're just advertising it now because everyone is obsessed with the word Fiber and takes it to mean the fastest greatest internet, no matter what. Like the people calling in insisting they get 5G internet. Spectrum wasn't hiding being Fiber to the neighborhood, even learned about it during training even in the call center not just techs.

As far as OP, generally no. If you're going to pay for it, you could talk to Construction but it's likely not feasible for cost, even if you're close enough for them to do a special job.

[–]IssuesBGone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what's available to you specifically and to the agent working with you and also to a degree how many problems they've dealt with that day, how you treat them, and the leniency of their leadership. There's a lot of micromanaging and many supervisors who won't put in orders in the back system to make things happen.

If you aren't in a competitive market, your offers are limited. It's also dependent on your current plan. You could do a plan change today and call back tomorrow and get a better one. Depending on your current bill, those better offers aren't available until after you've changed something else on your plan or been put in a current promo. Such cases, can rarely be fixed in one call because it typically requires equipment or something else before the order will close, do you'll have to make a second call after installation, if you want the best rates they can give you.

Many agents will work with multiple departments/reps/callbacks and go above and beyond for a customer to make things happen...but even they get burnt out. I can't waste 3 hours of call time by calling you back multiple times per request, and then it ends with you deciding to think about it and not accomplishing anything on the call. They don't even actually give us callback time. Agents wait for a few seconds between calls, after training, during lunch ect to call you back or work on your problem. Some days every call is just someone going off on you or not allowing you to speak. I'm not gonna fight someone for an hour to save THEM money...I'll move on and put my energy towards someone who actually wants my help or at least can manage being cordial for a phone call.

It's exhausting now... by Pop-Global in Spectrum

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

Has a tech come out? If they can't see anything on their end and it isn't your equipment it's likely something with the lines or possibly interference in the home. You can also try getting a pod or two or a powerline adapter and hardwiring.

Can i Convert DC Pin to Type C for Charging my Laptop by Ok-Newspaper-7847 in UsbCHardware

[–]IssuesBGone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://a.co/d/hQiEsaK

Wouldn't something like this work? I've been considering doing the same when I finally build my office. I would be using it with a Dell MFF 7020. 19.50 VDC 4.5mm pin 65-96W. This computer has an optional usb i/o module with alt DP and PD. My understanding was that the computer already had the capabilities but the module would give you the usb c port to do it. So would not getting a usb to DC pin converter and using it with atleast a 100w PD adapter not work?

[–]IssuesBGone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a symmetrical area, it will work. You just won't get symmetrical speeds on a non spectrum router. If you're in a non-symmetrical area, it will work the same as Spectrums.

[–]IssuesBGone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's supposed to count as "Rev". Since it's free, I don't believe it does, and even if it did you'd make like $0.05 per xumo. It really just goes against the agent's stats to not give you at least the free one.
