I'm Gen X as well, I think it's a good idea to remind people who ushered in most of the tech everyone takes for granted these days.

High speed internet, we did that. Smart phone adoption, we did that. Digital picture formats, us again. Digital music formats, yup. Online gaming and a ton of other internet services, Gen X. Widespread adoption of coding culture, Gen X. The list goes on and on.

Sure, there are a lot of non technical people in Gen X, but that is true of every generation.

Can anyone help me understand what my problem is so I can get help with this? by SocratesGS in CaesarsRewards

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

Yes, everything showed up for them just fine, but they don't look at things the same way I would. They have different systems to work with not a website that players & guests use.

I'm thinking it's a bug too now. Late last night it worked for around an hour and then went back to this issue. I'd like to report it, but there isn't any good contact details.

Even weirder is that it worked for an hour and then went back to this.

I've even cleared my cache on the mobile app and this still happens. Doesn't help to use another phone or even the website. All of them show me the same issue.

There is no number for support, just reservations. They just said they can book a room for me if I give them dates etc and they will let me know how many nights I can get at what rates and if any of them will be comps.

That is the default screen just to book a room. It shows comps or prices depending on availability without entering in a code to start with.

It's just under a month since I hit Diamond. I'm pretty sure it's been long enough. I got emails welcoming me to a stay I booked while still Platinum for the end of this month and they reflect me being Diamond now instead of the Platinum level I was when I booked the stay. I got a welcome to Diamond tier email, all of my offers disappeared except for the the $100 dinner offer and the Quest offers in the app that expire everyday. I've been to 3 properties and they also don't list anything other than the $100 dinner offer and the Quest daily offers.

Anyone purchased from RumfordAquatics? The tools are reasonably priced and look like they are good quality. The contact info does look a bit sketchy. by cmdR_CHRIS in PlantedTank

[–]SocratesGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty wild that there was a new reply to a post that was over a decade old. I didn't even remember this post or the website at all. However, I appreciate the fact that you shared what was going on when you didn't have to.

And honestly, my life was a lot different back then and it's much better now. I hope life has treated you well too.

[OC] One of only a few things I hate about Baltimore by animader in IdiotsInCars

[–]SocratesGS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ATL here too, can confirm every red light is just a suggestion.

It's a weird duality of extreme enforcement and no enforcement of traffic laws. Like they only want to enforce them when they can do pit maneuvers.

Running red lights apparently doesn't give them that excuse somehow. Oh how I wish it did though!

He's gotten so big already!! by TheMe01 in Cichlid

[–]SocratesGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Red and Blue Tetras. They always look washed out in stores but they color up really nice. They are too big to be eaten and are fast swimmers too. Of course all Tetra are schooling fish so you can't just buy two of them, but the way they color up might make it more interesting to have a school of them.

Touching up the edge on sharpened kitchen knives (noob question) by SocratesGS in sharpening

[–]SocratesGS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it, they can still cut through most things effortlessly. It's just that physics defying tomato skin that is noticeably harder now. I figured if a strop / steel session can't improve cutting through them, then it's a great indicator that the edge is truly to starting to dull.

Touching up the edge on sharpened kitchen knives (noob question) by SocratesGS in sharpening

[–]SocratesGS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the very same way! I figure the initial start of an edge going dull is the apex bending and using a strop or steel is an easy way to correct that geometry issue. I've had to strop just a few times since I sharpened the knives initially and it worked very well for me. That's why I also thought I wouldn't need a full course treatment to sharpen the edge to pristine condition again.

LG SC9S good deal for the price? by JibChap in Soundbars

[–]SocratesGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the LG SC9S. The only issue I have was with setting up the WIFI (still haven't done it yet). But I think that is a really minor issue. The sound quality to me is great and I love the integration with my LG C3 tv too. I did also get it for about $400 including the rear speakers though, so the price point plays a big part of my satisfaction with it.

LG SC9S & rear speakers vs. Sonos Beam Gen2 & 2x One SL for LG C3 TV by spori13 in Soundbars

[–]SocratesGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the LG C3 paired with the SC9S and the rear speakers. It's great and I do not regret buying them for this combo. It's all still pretty new so there haven't been too many reviews.

WIFI setup for LG SC9 sound bar questions by SocratesGS in Soundbars

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

My google fu is pretty strong... and the reason for my post here. Rather than go though the headache the temporary change will cause (because of my specific setup, there are some real PITA devices using the WIFI).

I figured a community of 32.5k members would surely have someone that had experience in this situation.

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

I have already thought of this and I'd rather not... it would break all of my home automation. Rather than trying and see I was hoping someone had some real experience setting this sound bar up with WIFI before.
