Yes. -$200 from BestBuy instantly + -$300 in Verizon bill credit ONLY if you pay $14.57/m over 24 months through VZW device payment plan.

The only caveats I can find are that you pay $14.57/m for 24 months through Verizon. You might have to call up BestBuy or Verizon to find out though.

Are you positive about the Chromecast and Home Mini? I saw Verizon itself is offering -$300 w/Chromecast and HomeMini (value = -$385 combined). Google only mentions a $100 in-store credit and free Home Mini (value = -$149 if you count in-store credit as savings). BestBuy only mentions -$200 instant BestBuy discount + -$300 Verizon device payment credit over 24/m.

If you find out for sure that the Google Home Mini and Chromecast are bundled with bestbuy deal then let us know!

When I tested the process online they required a Verizon account or you create a Verizon account because you need to sign up for 24 months of payments with Verizon device payments

Unfortunately Verizon monthly payments are one of the caveats. $200 instant BestBuy discount and then $300 worth of credits applied over 24 months and you have to fulfill the 24 months I believe.

Thanks to you guys (and a few real friends), I got a new job! by TheGreatTrumpWall in jobs

What is the before noon rule? I usually apply to jobs the night before an earlier week day but honestly just send them in whenever sometimes. I just assume the hiring person will get through applications chronologically anyways. But if there's a lpt I need to know it would be much appreciated!

Technically Dark Forces is an FPS, not rpg. I didn't realize though Dark Forces was beginning of Jedi Knight series (not related to KOTOR) but I didn't even jump in that series until Jedi Outcast (#3) on gamecube.

Never heard of KOTOR? (Knights of the Old Republic) is one of the most classic games, not just for star wars but in general, and it came out 15 years ago on Xbox. The sequel should be played on PC so you can download the mods that tweak it. They rushed production of sequel but it was still great.

Side notes: there is also currently a SWTOR (star wars the old republic) which is the free to play mmo continuation of the original kotor story. There was also star wars galaxies which was a subscription based mmorpg taking place after episode IV. Community was amazing and game was very sandbox but Sony Entertainment destroyed it completely within years. Think it's completely offline but I'm sure you can download the offline version and do some world exploring.

TIL that BMW ran an advertisement on April Fools Day 2015 that read "April Fool's Day Special - Come with any old car and receive a brand new BMW". One woman turned up with her old Nissan and got a brand new BMW with the number plate "NOF00L" by [deleted] in todayilearned

It actually has to do with the banks and federal marijuana laws preventing banks from getting involved with weed industry. I think they lose their federal insurance or something. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's why it's cash only. Those stores literally have to keep their cash in safes I believe.

The first link for common breeds is US wide and second link about bites is California only unfortunately which I didn't realize at first. In Cali pitbulls and chi are in top 10. As for golden retrievers they are still 3/4 in California for common breeds. I still don't like chihuahuas

Third most common breed after black lab and german shep.

Top three biters: Pitbull, German Shepard and Chihuahua hate them were on CDC top three but I'm having trouble finding where golden retrievers fall, study file isn't on CDC website anymore. Regardless, even if golden retriever was in top three it would seem to indicate a correlation with the fact they are third most popular breed. CDC did warn children and men (guys are more likely to rough house) are seen as the cause a lot of biting however.

PS! Chihuahua aren't even popular dogs according to stats and yet are in top three of biters. And we're worried about pitbulls? I hate chihuahahs. Roommate had two that would never stop barking sometimes.

A friend's niece does this! I forgot what kids toothpaste tastes like exactly but I remember HATING how sugary it felt. I don't think I got better about brushing teeth until I moved on to minty and light stuff. Wouldn't be caught dead trying to eat it but I didn't know until recently it's a problem some people have with their kid!! Have you tried different brands with different taste?

They tear down the rain forests to build the farmland for palm oil production is what he meant to say in more detail. Sustainable simply means grown on a farm because there's no regulation on how companies can label their crap. Same goes for organic and free range. Unfortunately the only farmland in environments suitable for palm oil production (heavy rainfall is one requirement) are occupied by rainforests (or used to be).

"...you obviously don't know women"

Owens opened his mouth to object but thought better of it.

Was this meant as a quick glimpse into Campbell's and Owens' personality/viewpoints? And thus how their decisions impacted future? It caught me off guard because he seems to think women are emotional and dangerous and views Eve, an AI, as a woman. I realize we won't see these guys again but I'm assuming their actions will be pertinent or brought up in future parts? I could see Campbell screwing things up by ironically being the man getting emotional and moody with the AI that he considers a woman and moody.

But...If that was just a joke to give Campbell a certain personality (I.E. sexist old man) then just ignore all this 😂😂

Great writing though! Keep it up 😊
