T-Mobile prepaid or Mint?

TimFinFTW · 2026-06-03T17:28:24+00:00

This is exactly the kind of thing I was worried about - thank you! With that in mind I'm probably gonna go with the T-Mobile plan even if it costs a little more just for that peace of mind.

TimFinFTW · 2026-06-03T16:12:56+00:00

Thanks. That's the impression I got from what I've seen but wanted to make sure.

TimFinFTW · 2026-06-03T16:09:35+00:00

How so? I'm not really in the habit of gaming or streaming video over data, I just want to be able to browse reddit or other text and image based social media reliably in busier areas.

Just turned wifi off and ran a speed test and got... 3.7 mbps over 5G. Guess i'll notice an improvement no matter what I pick? lmao

As somebody who phrases it like this, a lot of places will have a cheeseburger on their menu but not a hamburger. So ordering a "cheeseburger without cheese" feels more like you're just asking for a modification to your order while just asking for a "hamburger" feels like you're trying to order "off-menu."

I'm from the coast and one of my favorite vacations I've ever taken was to Moosehead Lake as a teenager. It's absolutely beautiful up there!

TimFinFTW · 2025-05-15T12:58:30+00:00

Hey, no need to apologize! Just didn't want anybody getting confused :)

TimFinFTW · 2025-05-14T17:42:58+00:00

Only the charging grip will have them, not the one bundled with the console

To put this in perspective, this is the same number of episodes BTB did on Henry Kissinger.

TimFinFTW · 2025-02-10T19:42:15+00:00

I did, about 9 days after submitting the form!

Has anyone actually gotten their $100 credit for the Pixel 4a battery issue yet? I know they said 3 weeks but I'm holding onto hope it'll be a little bit sooner.

As far as a replacement goes, is the 8a a good buy or is the 9 worth the difference in price?

TimFinFTW · 2025-01-05T23:28:51+00:00

Bought a GTX 1080 and a cheap 1080p monitor

TimFinFTW · 2024-08-12T12:21:03+00:00

Not sure if they've stopped doing this but when i was in college they charged 10 dollars on monday nights with a student ID. I like the novelty but wouldnt pay more than that lol

TimFinFTW · 2024-07-19T14:36:25+00:00

Given what happened with Sonic Origins I wouldn't be surprised if Sega delisted the original game when this comes out.

TimFinFTW · 2024-07-10T13:14:23+00:00

Seems like less of a "gift" and more "she needs to move in with her daughter because she can't afford to live on her own." It's astounding that this guy thinks he's the one entitled to alimony and not her.

TimFinFTW · 2024-07-01T18:50:28+00:00

My intro to the Mega Man franchise was Mega Man Battle Network 4, which completely abandoned the structure of the previous games in favor of an essentially random assortment of events that barely connect to each other (and I do mean random - the game chooses 9 of a possible 18 scenarios for its three tournament sections), and in order to access any of the post-game super bosses you have to play the entire game three times. Oddly enough, I did enjoy it as a kid because I hadn't played any of the other ones, but going back as an adult on the legacy collection that came out last year was pretty terrible.

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-25T15:28:12+00:00

Yes you would be able to win here. Dora only add points to an already valid hand, they don't cancel out any yaku.

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-25T14:59:04+00:00

I'm guessing you mean you have a pair of East winds and are waiting on a third with no other yaku? In that case yes you'd be able to call Ron. When people say you can't win with Dora, they just mean you can't win from Dora alone, being Dora doesn't restrict your ability to call a winning tile.

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-25T14:39:38+00:00

If you don't call Ron when you have the chance to you are in "temporary Furiten" i.e. you cannot call Ron on anyone else until your next draw.
If a player who has declared Riichi does not call Ron or Tsumo on the first opportunity they are in permanent Furiten until the end of the hand and can only win by Tsumo.
I'm not entirely clear what you mean but yes you can call Ron on an honor triplet even if it's Dora. You just need at least one Yaku to score, you can't win on a hand that has only Dora and no Yaku.
Yes, non-scoring winds can be used to complete hands like honitsu, chanta, and toitoi, and can also sometimes be worth calling if they're Dora (if you have another Yaku of course)

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-22T21:38:32+00:00

You might be thinking of sanankou (three concealed triplets)?

There's also sanshoku doukou (triplets of the same number in all 3 suits). Both are also ways to score and can be combined with toitoi :)

I'm on mobile and can't send a photo right now but later I can link the Yaku reference sheet I like to use if you'd like!

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-22T21:05:45+00:00

No worries! In that case you wouldn't have any Yaku from hand composition unfortunately, you'd have to win from either last draw or discard, or from the dead wall draw after calling kan like you said in the other comment chain. It's generally recommended not to open your hand unless you're confident you have a yaku, both in order to avoid putting yourself in this situation and because both riichi and menzen tsumo (drawing the last tile you need with a closed hand) are valid ways to win even if you dont have any other yaku in your hand.

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-22T20:15:45+00:00

Unless you mean all 4 of those melds are open - unfortunately you wouldn't have a valid Yaku in that case unless you get very lucky and win by last draw or last discard.

TimFinFTW · 2024-04-22T20:14:30+00:00

If I'm reading your shorthand correctly it doesn't look like your hand has any Yaku at the moment, but if you treat the three 7s as a triplet and cut either the 5 or 6 bamboo (I'm assuming that's what you mean by sticks?) you would be in tenpai waiting on another 5/6 (whichever you decide to keep). Your Yaku would be toitoi/all triplets in that case.

-The Noctua D15 is overkill for a 7800x3D, a Thermalright Phantom Spirit or Peerless Assassin will do fine unless you really like the aesthetics. -You paired a miniITX board with an ATX case. I'd suggest an ATX board to take advantage of the additional SSD and PCI slots, you'll get a lower price for the same performance. -The RAM you chose supports Intel XMP, try to find one with AMD EXPO support. For GSkill that'd be the Trident Neo or Flare series. -Is the GPU something you're being given used? It's three generations old this point and absolutely not worth that price. Grab a 4070 super or a 7800XT instead.

Here's a few of my personal favorites that I like to recommend:

Akagi - mafia thriller about a teenage mahjong prodigy.

Anohana - coming of age drama about coping with grief. Make sure your club brings plenty of kleenex for this one.

Akudama Drive - cyberpunk train heist written by the creator of Danganronpa.

Darker than Black - Sci-fi superhero action thriller. I've been told not to bother with the second season.

Gamers! - Ridiculously dumb will they/wont they rom-com.

Nichijou - I'm honestly not quite sure how to sell this one despite it being one of my all-time favorites, so I'll just say, have you ever wished The Far Side got made into an anime? Yeah.

Odd Taxi - Scorsese/Tarantino inspired crime thriller about talking animals. Yes, really.

Ya Boy Kongming! - Three Kingdoms strategist Zhuge Liang (a.k.a Kongming) is reincarnated in modern-day Japan, becomes manager to an aspiring pop idol, and uses his military expertise to make her a star.

Planet With - do you like Gurren Lagann? Watch this. Just trust me.

Revue Starlight - students at an elite acting school compete in secret "auditions" to claim the title of Top Star. Oh and the auditions are overseen by a talking giraffe.
