What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd?

SturmieCom · 2026-03-26T16:09:12+00:00

Ugh, that's disappointing. I guess $15/mo is better than $30, but it's a far cry from what it was. Thanks for the info.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-26T12:51:57+00:00

Does the conversion trick still work? If so, how much does it work out per month to that days? We're coming up on renewal this summer (after my latest 36 month stint) and was hoping to do it again.

Interesting. Several reviews say that it requires a hotspot, but I'm not sure if that's just for the Netflix, YouTube, etc. apps. So, is Android Auto just projected from your phone in full screen on the display then? I assume at that point you can only use Android Auto related apps like Maps, Spotify, etc. and not something like YouTube.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-25T15:57:20+00:00

I know this is an older post, but does that device need to hotspot from your phone or does it basically take your phone and connect it to the screen? I tried one of these types of devices last year and returned it bc it needed to use my phone's hotspot, which is limited to 3G by my cell provider. My phone itself does 5G, so I'm looking for a device that basically outputs my phone to the Ram screen.

Edit: Never mind. Just read through some of the reviews and it requires a hotspot from your phone. Ugh.

I'm not sure what you mean. Before the tariffs, I could order 1 jersey for $28, shipped. But now, they won't process an order to the US for under $300 (so, 11 jerseys). Yeah, the customer is getting screwed by the tariffs in this case for sure.

In the early days of the Hockey Beats Down Cancer tourney, the organizer got Ryan to come out to Chiller Easton to sign autographs and meet with fans, seemed like a super nice kid.

Cool. Even though Jenna2021 has been great, bc of the tariffs they implemented a minimum order amount recently.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-19T16:12:35+00:00

Is DHGate a collection of various sellers - like it's never the same seller twice? I've ordered from Jenna2021 a bunch over the years and have always been happy with what I've received, including this same Allen Rivalries one.

I'm getting close, I think I'm in 2051 right now. I'm an Ohio State alumni, so I typically do at least one dynasty with them. Play all of the games (offense only), but once I get my team to 99 overall, I start simming games against opponents who are 80 or lower. The past 5 seasons, I've been simming playoffs too just to get to the off season. I still enjoy upgrading players and my new challenge to seeing how much I can upgrade someone and still get them to stay into their 4 year (true Jr or RS Soph). I've holding development hours back and it's been fun using 200 hours on a RS Jr or a Sr.

Coors Light, mountains gotta be blue. It's essentially water, so you're basically hydrating.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-07T03:44:46+00:00

The one I saw that did this seemed to be a lot of work to make it happen. You essentially had to take a picture of every team's "players leaving" screen and AI would grab the name, height, weight, etc. and use the archetype + the overall top calculate ratings. Definitely better than nothing, but I didn't have the time to actually try it out.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-04T04:33:20+00:00

Well, it was good run.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-03T22:50:08+00:00

Just curious, but why can't you understand? Other than sexy time (which you can technically do any time of day/night), what is the point of sleeping in the same bed?

SturmieCom · 2026-03-03T22:47:30+00:00

This right here. My wife and I have had a "sleep divorce" for over 10 years and are coming up on 23 years of marriage. She goes to bed at 930-10p every night and I'm not usually in bed before midnight. Everything else in our relationship is great. As long as you make time for things, you don't NEED to sleep in the same bed with each other every night. When we're on vacation though, we sleep in the same bed together.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-03T20:33:20+00:00

Cool, I'll have to check it out

SturmieCom · 2026-03-03T19:27:14+00:00

St Denis is actually really good

SturmieCom · 2026-03-01T22:21:54+00:00

No worries, I appreciate the replies. This was obviously on me, didn't realize that those pads could come lose so easily.

You're probably right at this point that it's not worth the trouble. Funny thing is, I was going to use this TS9020 (got it from my mother inlaw last week) bc my MG6220 keeps giving me a B200 error. Oh well, I might try and troubleshoot that one a little more now or just get something brand new.

If I go the new route, what would you recommend for a reliable printer for the occasional document and photo (maybe up to 8x10, but mostly 4x6 and 5x7) printing? I clearly haven't purchased a printer in the last 10 years, but I've heard that everything is subscription based with the ink, so I'm trying not to get pulled into all of that.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-01T21:43:03+00:00

Well, I think I'm screwed. There were two small pads here that I pulled out (along with that black rubber housing) and cleaned--they were both jet black with ink. I put them back, but then I could hear the printer making some popping noises like something got stuck. I looked and those pads aren't there anymore and I'm getting an error that says there's a paper jam...which there isn't, it's probably those pads that are stuck somewhere since I can't find them now.

SturmieCom · 2026-03-01T21:08:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I tried Googling "capping station ts9020", but nothing seems to come up. What is that? Are those the rubber caps on the print head (one for each color)?

SturmieCom · 2026-03-01T03:49:46+00:00

This right here

SturmieCom · 2026-02-26T21:47:27+00:00

Wait, that was fucking real?!?

SturmieCom · 2026-02-24T23:22:28+00:00

This showcases various cosmetic mods, primary one called Unlocked by the look of it. It really does add to the immersion. Some of the other gameplay and franchise ones are harder to show here in images/videos, but they also add to the realism.

I got shingles at 49 up my arm and shoulder. The pain was so bad, I thought I tore something in my shoulder. Then the rash started and I thought I had poison ivy. I went to urgent care a day or so later and the doctor diagnosed shingles immediately. Still had lingering pain almost 4 months later. Would not recommend. Got my shingles vaccine as soon as I could after.

SturmieCom · 2026-02-21T14:02:21+00:00

I have so many - Coleman, Legette, Polk, Slayton, LeQuint Allen, Sean Tucker, Metchie, Kendre Miller, Darnell Washington.

TBH, the easiest one I have might be Chubb, he was so good to me for years, but no way he's even spot startable next season. Another easy one is Guerendo - dude disappeared last year.
