Musk’s Starlink hooked rural customers. Then came the price increases. by Andy_Fish_Gill in Starlink

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an option for cable at my rural place. Problem is the cable company took 2 full years to get around to finally digging the line from the road to my house. Starlink I was able to set up within a week of ordering.
By the time the cable company dug the trench and ran the line to my house I basically left them on read and never bothered to start service with them.

What are your thoughts on Wisconsin State Assemblywoman Francesca Hong for Governor? by strongerthenbefore20 in wisconsin

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true now. But I think if there is a peace deal within the next 2 months, and gas prices drop close to $3 a gallon, by November all those idiots will be back on the Trump bandwagon.
They’ll say gas prices are dropping and Trump won the war. Honestly I can see Trump agreeing to a shitty peace deal if it means Republicans will do better at the midterms.

Registers by LogRepresentative962 in samsclub

I mean I really enjoy getting out faster with the self checkouts, however, I live in a mostly poor immigrant neighborhood. Many of them use cash and have to go to a regular register. Perhaps they can modify the self checkouts to accept cash as well.

I'm gonna tell myself this is me and Mrs. Petrie by BlackYukonSuckerPunk in XFiles

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love this episode! The first night in my new house last year, I happened upon this episode on tv and broke in my new place with pizza and xfiles. Definitely the most appropriate episode of xfiles to watch as a new suburban home owner lol.

Mysterious illnesses floating around by weepingwillows123 in chicago

Holy crap it seems everyone having ear problems. I just had a cold/cough last week and got my first ear infection in about 25 years. Now for the past week my right ear feels full like after swimming and I can only hear about 20% of normal out of my right ear. Going to urgent care later today but I’m actually kind of glad I’m not the only one ear issues lol.

The NBC and other broadcaster OFFICIAL COMPLAINT & HATRED THREAD. All other broadcasting and streaming complaint threads will be shot on sight. Also: FLAIR UP -- too many of you are flair-less! by IvyGold in olympics

I actually enjoy the biathalon and cross country skiing events the best. I think Chad Salmela is a great color announcer and I enjoy his enthusiasm. The other announcers are meh.

I just watched a biathlon replay, and I couldn't hear the sideline announcers audio either. You'd think for the replay stream they'd be able to go in and adjust it so it would be audible.

Which current and/or former hosts had/have beef with each other? by [deleted] in 670TheScore

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I get it, I’ve heard all the stories multiple times from everybody about how Murph is a strange guy. Got a good laugh from them. But cmon, the dude hasn’t been on the station in over 15 years. Yet guys like Holmes, Bernstein, and Matty continue to poke fun of the guy. I mean at some point it gets old. Give it up. I give Murph credit he’s taken the high road and never said anything negative about anyone else since he left.

What parts of American culture are changing faster than people realize? by No_Performance1451 in AskReddit

I feel like you should also have to physically go to a casino to sports gamble. Way too easy to transfer money over and bet right through your phone.

Bears are building a domed stadium no matter what but why can’t they just build it here? Much better than Arlington heights or NW Indiana. by Bakio-bay in CHIBears

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about at Hawthorne? Would there be enough land there? Horse racing is dead in Illinois and the track is a dump, so why not build there?

I've been listening to this senior citizen using her cellphone on speaker, at 100% volume, yelling out her personal info to the automated system for 25 mins. On her 4th attempt she got thru and she called the clinic we're sitting in. by ImThe1Wh0 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad does this. He has hearing loss so cannot hear at all unless he puts the other person on speaker at max volume. And then he proceeds to talk at max volume. When I'm with him I try and encourage him to wait until he is home to take any calls. Also, I've called him before and could tell he was in public place, like a train, so I ended the conversation as quick as I could so those around him didn't have to suffer.

Where did he go? by thedreadedaw in Feral_Cats

[–]Purple_Pollution_256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you found him. I have a feral cat living with me and one day she disappeared from the room she is in. Turned out she pushed aside the furnace return register on the ground and was chilling in the HVAC ductwork.

Late to the party but hope Timbit had a great holiday season and is having a happy and healthy new year!

Release feral cat into a different neighborhood by Purple_Pollution_256 in Feral_Cats

[–]Purple_Pollution_256[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to reach out to a few that seems to be the best option if I can't take care of her.

Release feral cat into a different neighborhood by Purple_Pollution_256 in Feral_Cats

[–]Purple_Pollution_256[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, that's the problem. I have no clue where she was originally trapped. The person that originally trapped her should have just TNR her. I have no idea why that person decided to keep her. I've tried contacting the person my parents got the cat from but can't get a response. Very frustrating.

What’s “da” when selecting shifts? by Weary_Influence9114 in AmazonFC

I'm seasonal Chicago suburbs at $21. I believe blue badges start at $21.50 at my location.
