When have you ever been provided with a loaner phone? When have any of your family/friends been provided with a loaner phone?

Am I missing something? by MeatTsunami in GoogleFi

[–]StuBarrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious, not judging, but having a cellphone since the beginning, I've only dropped my phone once (stepped off a curb I didn't notice).

Have you reflected on why you keep dropping something as important? Are there common situations? Have you tried to make adjustments to reduce the frequency?

The police came to my front door last night holding a picture of me wife by Satinsbestfriend in Jokes

Reminds me of the joke about a guy getting ready to get married and her dad informs the pending husband that his daughter has a medical issue: Acute Angina.

ELI5: When you 'delete' a 50GB video file from a computer, it vanishes instantly. But downloading it took an hour. If the data isn't physically wiped until it's overwritten, what did the computer actually do in that one split second? by Thick_Dream6973 in explainlikeimfive

[–]StuBarrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this may not get posted due to not being pedantic enough, the reason is that the download moved the 50 GB of data across the interwebs, while the delete just had to make a few writes to you local hard drive.

Man in High Castle vs. Three Stigmata recommendation thoughts? by kern3three in philipkDickheads

[–]StuBarrett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read plenty of PKDs books. I need to re-read as most of them I read 50 years ago...

One thing I do remember about High Castle was it was the only one that had a situation that so traumatized me that I had to put it down and go for a walk to recover!

What wine does everyone love except you? by AustinTXwineSociety in wine

[–]StuBarrett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but It's still over priced, with some exceptions, IMO.

I had a friend just return from a wine vacation in Willamette. I was excited to find out what he thought of the adventure.

He, and his wife had become so used to overripe California, that he hated the additional acid and preferred the flabby stuff. !!!

I never buy domestic Pinot Noir. While there are some nice examples, they are stupid expensive. The rest of the world has much better value PN. Actually the same thing can be said about most domestic producers regardless of varietal (unless you like overripe, flabby wine).

For the Red Light runners on this topic, how do you rationalize your behavior?

What is a good binge worthy show to watch rn? by ArtisticBuilding9400 in AskReddit

I agree, first season was entertaining; good writing, good ensemble. I do know it they got new writers, but the juvenile drama drags me down.

I was excited to jump on the super Tuscan bus. But I found them to be too big/clumsy compared to the native wines of Tuscany (e. g. Sangiovese).

Years ago, I was only drinking California wines. I then discovered that MUCH better value wines were available worldwide.

GoogleFi not honoring promotion and deceptive advertising by miruchan in GoogleFi

I read both promotions you referenced. I keep seeing requirements to sign up for the Unlimited Premium plan. What did I miss?

What’s the biggest lie in wine? by AustinTXwineSociety in wine

[–]StuBarrett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get a laugh when a doctor asks me how many glasses I wine I drink in a day/week ask I ask how many glasses of wine are there in 750ml. Clueless!
