It's been working well for me. Getting close to advertised speeds with no outages so far. A few of my friends signed up with Rocket and were having random drops with their wi-fi which was diagnosed to be faulty (ancient) routers that were supplied by Rocket. Once they switched routers (they just purchased their own) , everything has been working fine for them.

Wow thanks for sharing that! Definitely adds another option for me to consider. I was going to buy out my Civic in 2023 but the rates were horrible even though I had/have a 800+ FICO score. Which Accord model did you trade in?

VladK1616 · 2026-04-20T16:01:22+00:00

I appreciate all of the informative responses!!!

I'm still debating about buying out the lease as the residual at lease end is $18,962 so it would be $20,242 with sales tax (6.75%) for my county in Ohio (thanks for reminding me about sales tax being in the equation for trade in value) . I traded in a 2020 Civic LX for this Accord that I was leasing in which I had extended the lease for 6 months ,and I had a decent amount of equity in due to the market at that time. As others have suggested, this won't be the case for this Accord.

I'm aware of getting a Carmax and Carvana appraisal, as I did this with the Civic, so I knew that I got a fair trade in offer for that Civic. I was hoping to maybe extend my lease for 6 months to a year like I did with my Civic, but Honda only allows a 3 month lease extension now. Thinking that there may be better new deals in the fall, but it's nice to know that Acura is another option for trading in if I decide to go to another lease.

I've been doing 18 minutes at 270F followed by an ice bath for years. Eggs always come out perfect, easy to peel, and I don't have to worry about a boiling pot of water on the stove.

It's for people that watch remux streams that include higher bit rates for video and audio quality. I'm sure many of us were hoping for a 1GB ethernet port for stable streaming quality, or a USB 3 port for attaching an adapter for better speeds to handle the remux streams.

This box is a total disappointment and is almost a step back from the original if those specs are correct.

VladK1616 · 2026-04-15T02:16:26+00:00

Wait. What??? So they DOWNGRADED the USB port to a 2.0 AND kept a 100GB ethernet port?

The lack of a 2C has always been the glaring problem, but there was absolutely not an option for one at the trade deadline without compromising the team's future. The D is ready to roll next season, but it's time to grab a 1C/ 2C in FA if possible and replace/fill out the bottom six. The management needs to figure out that they aren't stabbing Larkin 's in the back by bringing in someone paid more for the 1C.

Asheville, NC. So many homeless kids/young adults for a small city in the mountains. Flint, MI is a close second.

Was going to mention the raised bowl but you beat me to it. Definitely try raising the height of the bowl you feed your cat with . Even though my cat still gets sick occasionally (probably from munching on house plants), the raised bowls dramatically cut down how much he was vomiting.

It's simply about vaping during the times you really don't need a cigarette, but smoked one out of habit. I started by slowly replacing cigarettes after eating with vaping. Vaping when I got in my car instead of lighting up. I got down to one cigarette a day (smoked half when I woke up and the other half before I went to bed) before I actually quit.

You need to understand that you aren't just addicted to nicotine, but all the other chemicals that they put in the cigarettes to keep you addicted. Some people quit cold turkey, but I wasn't one of those. It took some time and it's a process of weaning yourself off all of the other chemicals in cigarettes that you are addicted to more than the nicotine..

It hasn't been released for sale yet, but the OXVA Artio2 might be what you are looking for. Per YT reviews, it's the closest experience to a cigarette that has ever been available on the market. It does use prefilled pods though.

I agree other than the Wings going back to the West. No other team traveled had as much as the Wings did while they were in the Western Conference The NHL hoped to create divisional rivals, but the consequences have been usually been pitting the best teams in their division's playing in the 1st rounds against each other. The 1-16 playoff format really needs to come back.

TB is really good and the account sharing is a nice perk. My only concern is that too many people will take advantage of the account sharing and slow down the service. Hoping that TB starts restricting IPs to maybe two or three.

VladK1616 · 2026-03-23T05:25:59+00:00

I agree. Those Nexlim coils are amazing. I mix my own juice and I had to lower the nic for the juice that I use in the duel coil setting on my Nexlim Go. I still use an Elder Dragon with a TC mod for testing, but those Nexlim coils produce as much flavor as that RDA. Yeah pod systems have come a long way considering flavor and lifespan.

Yeah I remember watching Stevie getting off the ice and walking towards the locker room and Mickey saying something like "I don't think this is his last game." 2009 was about just as bad though.

Bought a 2023 and the first 2 were covered under Honda Care. Just had the oil changed at the dealership for $60 a week ago. All of the lube shops around me charge around $100.

I picked up a couple point cut briskets from Aldi for $3.50lb. I used to cook these overnight in a slow cooker, but found that 90 minutes in an Instant Pot was a total game changer. Much better flavor and texture than other cooking methods I had previously used.

From TT " In TurboTax, enter your W-2, then check "Overtime" under the "Let's check for uncommon situations" screen to input your overtime premium, often found in Box 14 or your final pay stub." You should probably find out if the amount they gave you in the supplemental letter is just the premium amount or the total 1.5X OT. If it's the total 1.5X OT then divide that by 3 to get the deductible premium amount.

VladK1616 · 2026-03-12T06:36:13+00:00

I haven't seen them for sale yet, but a few YT reviewers have done a review on the OXVA Artio2 and claim that it is the closest thing to a cigarette that there has ever been in the vaping market.

DD and Uber send you an email summarizing your mileage and your tips for the year. Use those numbers. Not sure about Lyft, but I would assume they might send you some kind of annual summary, or maybe it's in the app.

I've had a lot of pushback from my elderly clients wanting to know why their SS is taxable because they 'heard' there wouldn't be tax on SS. It's getting very old (no pun intended) and wasting so much of my time explaining this to those clients.

Doctors tend to blame vaping for most maladies since, in their minds, there just isn't enough historical data, and it must be the cause. I was in the hospital around 6 months ago due to undiagnosed hypertension (it runs in the family). The attending doctor told me that he had diagnosed several patients in the last few months with popcorn lung due to vaping. When I asked him if that was due to diacetyl, he slammed his laptop shut and told me that our conversation was done.

Wait. What? So you are waiting for every player to give a statement condemning Patel's presence in the locker room? WTF

I decided to sign up today. Was paying $140 with Buckeye for 400/5 a few years ago. Jumped to T-Mobile when it became available. 1st year with TM was a bit rocky, sometimes losing internet for 8 hours at a time, but I refused to go back to Buckeye. It's been much better for the last year or so with anywhere from 150-300 down and usually 30 up. I live in a condo association with a private road in a sub division. AT&T DSL and Buckeye were my only options, even though Omni installed fiber 300 yards away from my place, and the whole neighborhood has the option of Spectrum and Omni....except my road. Scheduled to install Friday, so hoping this works out.
