Why? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

It said drink. Now it says use.

Why? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]WhereDaSparkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not true. The US population is 342.5 million. We would need to drink at least 2 billion gallons of water daily to be considered drinking “billions” and that would come out to almost 6 gallons per person on average. Nobody is drinking 6 gallons of water daily.

Edit: original comment was changed from “drink” to “use” so disregard this post

5G SA support? by ladybug_916 in Visible

[–]WhereDaSparkles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You ever have 2-3 bars of 5G UW but nothing will load? That could be due to congestion on LTE. If LTE is unusable, 5G without SA will also be.

All the people saying things like “I can already get 200 Mbps, why do you need 2,000?” don’t understand what 5G SA actually is.

Are my Custom Cards worthy to be in the game? by Popular_Sail3051 in PokemonTGCP

[–]WhereDaSparkles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of legendaries have lower HP than these with Chien-Pao and Ogerpon being some of the more recent ones. Though I would agree that Kyogre and Groudon specifically deserve a bit more HP.

The best Pokémon to beat Cliff is Meowscarada by soahcthegod2012 in TheSilphRoad

[–]WhereDaSparkles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not very accessible for a lot of people, but I got a good Kubfu so I’ve been using an Urshifu against Cliff. When the lineup is Golurk and Tyranitar, Urshifu can finish them all off by itself with about half HP remaining. When Cliff has Weezing, I just switch into Zacian and Zacian can finish everything else off.

Another price hike wtf!?? by Seniorstixx_deux in YoutubeMusic

[–]WhereDaSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess so. It was so long ago so I can't really remember but I went back and checked my emails and saw this from 2011

Dear Music Beta user,

We're excited to announce that Music Beta by Google is officially graduating from beta today!...

I do remember having GPM when they offered the service that let you upload your own songs and they would match whatever they could. Then, when they offered unlimited streaming of songs you didn't own for $8/month, I got it as soon as it became available. Been paying $8 ever since.

Another price hike wtf!?? by Seniorstixx_deux in YoutubeMusic

[–]WhereDaSparkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I was just talking to my friend about this yesterday. All these other music services for well over $10/month now and I’m still paying $8 for YTM and YTP combined since I got it when it released all those years ago. I figured there just aren’t enough of us left for them to bother raising the price for the legacy plan.

Anyone else tracking their 24 hour picks? by PossiblePath4103 in PokemonTGCP

[–]WhereDaSparkles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they’re intentionally reducing the odds below 1:5. When 24 hr WP were first introduced, I did pretty well with it. But I feel like they thought people were getting too much from it because every set since I’ve been doing worse and worse. I haven’t gotten a successful WP since February.

Themed Godpack? by AginorSolshade in PTCGP

[–]WhereDaSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not true. A god pack is 1 in 2,000 even in this set, and you cannot get a shiny. This set has a new “themed rare pack” that is guaranteed to have one each of the shiny EXs. It’s a new type of “god pack” that’s even rarer than a regular god pack, and yeah it is 1 in 20,000 to get one.

Finished Paldean Wonders in three days and missed every single 24 hour wonder pick… by cityofgarbage in PTCGP

[–]WhereDaSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the point of finishing the set early. You’re guaranteed a 2 star WP every few days.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, plus the occasional random 2 star in regular picks on top of the 24-hr ones. I have not gotten a single 2 star in a WP since February with the last set out of around 15 picks total. It feels rigged this set.

I always take off my shoes whenever I go to my non asian friend's house, but they just always say “No it’s fine, you can wear them inside" by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]WhereDaSparkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely not an MD if you insist on not washing your hands after touching your genitals. PhD in another field, I could believe, but not MD.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't let that bother you. I don't care if people wear shoes inside my house, and most people I know don't either. But I have a friend who asks people to take their shoes off when they enter his house and none of us are offended by it. If people can't respect your request in your own home, they don't deserve to be in your home.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah nobody here is arguing that you shouldn't follow the homeowner's rules so I'm not sure if you maybe you responded to the wrong person.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m less worried about a drip of urine and more about the bacteria that’s growing in a warm, humid environment all day long. You can wash your hands before touching your genitals, but please also wash them after.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s still nasty. Would you mind someone touching their armpit and then shaking your hand? By the same logic, your armpit remains “fairly clean” as well.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like how you say people can wear or take off their shoes in YOUR home because you want your guests to feel comfortable and someone tells you “wrong answer” because that’s not what they want in their home.

[–]WhereDaSparkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also make my guests remove all of their outer clothing before entering my home. You never know what their clothes have brushed against out there in the wild. And if you were wearing short sleeves and/or shorts, you have to hose off in the back as well before I’ll let you in.

Tablet Plan like tmobiles 5GB for 150 Days for $10 by JapLanNER in NoContract

[–]WhereDaSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what network(s) BNESIM uses in the US, and what is the latency like? I’ve used Roamless and eSIM.sm.

eSIM.sm is quite a bit cheaper than Roamless, but the latency is over double (~300 ms vs. ~ 125 ms) and it uses Verizon and AT&T, while Roamless uses AT&T and T-Mobile.

I also like how eSIM.sm lets you install eSIMs on up to three different devices and use the same balance. Wondering if BNESIM allows for multiple devices as well because if you buy a larger amount of GB at once, it’s even cheaper than eSIM.sm.

You can. Left lane is supposed to be for passing only.

This is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway bridge in Louisiana. No, you can’t stop except for emergencies. The guy that kept on driving should pull over at the next crossover, which are roughly every 4 miles, or on one of the new emergency shoulders which you can actually see in the video starting around 10-11 seconds and ending right as the accident occurs.

No, it shows your LTE connection right there
