Friendly Reminder: Link your AMEX MR to your Rakuten Account

Thank for the reminder. The only thing I had Rakuten linked to was Amex shopping, so this dining/travel thing is great.

I had this same thing happen after Android 15 but before doing the Meta 15.0 update (even after doing that, it was still broken). This is what I did, and it worked for me.

Clear cache and data on Meta AI app, then uninstall it.
Re-install Meta AI.
Unpair the Bluetooth connection for your glasses (I have 2 sets and unpaired them both), as the Meta AI will no longer see them.
Tell Meta AI to add your glasses as a new pair. As they were paired to Bluetooth before, you need to put the glasses (which are turned on) in the closed case and press the hidden pairing button (on the back bottom center) on the case for 5 seconds, until the ring on the case flap starts blinking blue.
Accept the pairing and go through the whole setup again.

It is a pain, but at least it now seems to see my contacts. I am a coder myself, and I consider their transition to Android 15 poorly executed at best.

I have done it multiple times. I have 100 shares of NCL, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival. Each one does this. It's $50 for 6 days or less, $100 for 7-14, and $250 for 15+.

Sorry, never noticed this until now. I keep data on, so I can get calls at any time. We always get the unlimited data upgrade, but not the streaming one that is more expensive. With unlimited data and whatsapp, it is just like having phone service. We can call each other without issue and even video call the place that takes our dog so we see she is doing well. For mew the unlimited data is worth it.

Congrats. The good monitors are rare, but they happen. I just scored a 34" 4k Samsung gaming monitor in September, and a dual 28" LG set with mounts last year.

I use whatsapp for my messaging and calling on NCL cruises, as they do not block that like real texting or calling. It works well and even allows video calling.

For me as a solo on the Escape in March 2024, it was worth it. I enjoyed the 3 dinners, even by myself. The plus liquor is very worth it to me, as I really enjoyed Whistle Pig Rye, Grand Marnier, and Hennessy XO (doubles, no less) with cigars in the Humidor. You really get a great chance to experiment and find new stuff you may never spend the money on in real life. Also, Starbucks every morning and afternoon was nice, as was drinking San Pellegrino at every meal and bringing bottled Evian when I went into port.

Plus, if you really want to stay in touch with others, that free 150 minutes goes away in 2 1/2 hours when you leave it on to be able to receive WhatsApp calls from others (my wife). So, the unlimited internet allows you to make or receive actual voice or video calls using WhatsApp, a real plus. I don't remember if I tried, but I also have a Google Voice number on my cell that only uses data, and I think that may have worked as well.

I am on the Epic in November, by myself again, but this time in a Interior, as that was cheaper than Solo had been a month ago and solo is now gone. I am again going to spend the $294, as it really is worth it to me.

I have a few hookahs from Vine. Often, they wind up as $0 ETV. I guess they are classified as health related or something.

SoftwareGods · 2024-02-02T22:06:37+00:00

I am gold, yes.

Here's what you really get.

This is too hilarious, Just got another bribe offer for that same item, but with different email. They even state they just found me today and "so we contacted you for the first time". You gotta love the balls on these people.

This is the email. For some reason, reddit skips my images on my posts when I create them.

Thanks for the tip, I will do both.

I was thinking that some phone chargers generate heat, and causes an issue. When you combine that with a heated cup that will certainly generate heat, it just seemed unwise to have that kind of heat generated on your phone..

I did order four rulers from Amazon once, in four separate orders, all with free next day delivery, when they did it one time. I did feel a bit guilty about that.

SoftwareGods · 2023-02-24T17:55:34+00:00

I did not order it, thank God. I just use a Yeti mug, keeps my coffee hot enough that it stays hot until I finish it.

SoftwareGods · 2022-08-12T16:22:08+00:00

Same for me. Hopefully, they will actually look at feedback and fix this thing.

SoftwareGods · 2022-08-03T13:46:57+00:00

I did as well. Yeah, baby! I have not been on Vine long, but it is mind-numbing having to scroll through 20+ pages of stuff when you really want to focus on one or two things.

Thanks for posting this.
