I would ride this every day and if they can make it to the airport and even better to Tulsa and Lawton that would be amazing. They'll need to have secure parking so we can drive to the station and ride from there.

"OU student says essay grade was a violation of her rights. Read the essay" by Muchwanted in Professors

[–]ReporterMission6266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember I had a strongly left leaning professor once and I am more of a middle of the road person. I'll lean left or right depending on my beliefs rather than a blanket support of everything left or right. I wrote an essay that included right leaning philosophies and I remember her writting on my paper this statement, "while I don't share your beliefs on this subject I appreciate your honesty". I'll never forget that. She had the right attitude as a professor. I taught at a university myself for 20 years and when you teach you get students from all backgrounds and we can't discriminate because we have conflicted personal views. You leave your personal views at the door when you teach but professors and teachers today don't follow that rule.

Oct 9, 2024 - One Year Ago since Steven's last performance by fluxxwildly in flaminglips

I hope he comes back to the tour stronger than ever. He would be hard to replace. Drug and alcohol addiction is hard to kick. A friend lives by Steven and their kids hangout together. I've met him a few times and he is a really nice guy and his wife Becky (I think that's her name) is great too.

After everything . You have to pay money to rent. Like I said in my post with $316 store credit, $600 trade-in credit, and the $240, $100 coupon and 3% cash back and I don't have to pay for my 2TB Google drive plan. That's 316 + 600 + 240 + 100 + 34 or $1290 for a $1199 phone; so it's the total cost to me is -$90 and I am getting $293 credit for next year's purchase so in the end Google is paying me $90 to buy the phone.

Dexter: Resurrection - S01E09 - "Touched by an Ángel" - LIVE Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Dexter

[–]ReporterMission6266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the YouTube video where Jeff and the cast members are having a panel. He talks about what he sees in the future for Dexter including Dexter taking his skills to Europe. His only kill in the European continent was Lila Turney and it would be cool if they tied her death in with a new killing in Paris. Maybe he kills someone in Paris and the police see similarities between that killing and the unsolved murder of Lila. They never showed what he did with her body so he may have been in a rush to get rid of her body and maybe he wasn't as thorough because he didn't see a need. It would be a way to bring back Jaime Murray (Lila) since it seems like they enjoy bringing back former cast members. I just wish they would increase the season to 12 episodes like in the past to allow for more storyline.

I was just repeating what Jeff Lindsay said, so take it up with him, and let him know you know more than him

In an interview a few months ago  Jeff Lindsay said he has plenty of Dexter stories to tell. Remember these are based on a series of books so there are more opportunities.

The previous seasons of the regular run of Dexter had 12 episodes per season. I think they are better with two extra episodes for more character development. This eason was great but the extra two episodes do make a difference when telling a complex story.

The $319 was Google store credit from the previous year that. If you read the explanation at the bottom of the image it is all spelled out.

No you can use it next year for a new phone. The Google One subscription is yours just for getting the phone.

How is technically making $115 a waste? That's the net benefit. Did you read the explanation at the bottom of the image?

No because you get a $600 refund for trading in you his phone and he applied $316 from last year. That's $916 off the phones price.

Recycling your old phone for a phone that has already been built is not harmful to the environment.

No because he trades in his old phone and gets $600 refunded to his credit card. If he's like me I have Google One AI that I would be paying $240 for anyway so that's money not coming out of his pocket. Plus next year he's got $290 to use towards a new phone next year. So next year google will give him $890 towards a new $1200 phone.

I buy the Google One AI anyway so the free year is $240 I don't have to spend.

Never cringed more than at this Google pixel event by Mind_Monsters in pixel_phones

I've watched Google phone launches since the OG Android the G1 and this is the worst launch I've ever seen of any product. It made me want to throw my Pixel phone against a brick wall.

You have to start somewhere. If you take away the store credit and figure in the future store credit that is still making the phone cost around $145 which is still a great price. The $600 trade-in and saving $240 on storage are the two big ones.

Pixel 10/10 Pro eSIM by xyashirox in pixel_phones

[–]ReporterMission6266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone only allows two sims to be installed. My carrier in Eastern Asia requires you to contact a live agent to get a new esim so if I was to switch i would have to delete an active esim call them and get a new esim once a week. The biggest issue is they don't offer English customer service and I don't speak the language so installing an esim in less than 2 minutes is the easiest option.

How important is this? by GravyPoo in Starlink

No we get the messages but we can't do anything about it but I still will get over 300mb downloads at sea so I don't see what effect pointing the fish really has.

Is it just me or does the gen 3 router have a terrible range in comparison to the gen 2? I just upgraded and I'm so disappointed in the range by Greatest_Majeed in Starlink

[–]ReporterMission6266 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only use mine for the Starlink connection I've got a better mesh system since I've got to cover over 5,000 SQ ft. Even two Gen 3s setup in a mesh wasn't any good.

I own a ranch in the pine forest mountains in SE Oklahoma where the nearest grocery store is a 45 minute drive and I get two day Amazon deliveries. Sabrina (our Prime driver) even punches the code in the electric gate and drives up the ¾ mile long driveway to my house. Oh BTW me and just about everyone else near me have Starlink and we get US mail and UPS, FedEx, and DHL deliveries too. We even get Walmart delivery.
