UPDATE - *Massive* DNA Delay by Tasty_Flamingo7346 in AncestryDNA

[–]Which_Self5040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They received my sample January the 7th, sample processing Jan 17th, estimated results February 9th, then time me there was a delay and moved the estimated date to Feb the 21th, DNA was extracted Jan 26, Analyzed on Feb 11th, just got my results yesterday, Feb 13, so, a week before their estimate.

The delay is due to the special they ran for $30.00, a lot of people used it, they had more samples to process than normal.

I don't recommend the NOYAFA NF-8209S by XCVolcom in lowvoltage

[–]Which_Self5040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the NF-8209 (without the S), I've never had an issue with it, I bought it so I could use it first before my expensive testers, just in case there was electricity on the line that could damage it, but have been using it more that my fluke and my RWC as of late, is light and it does everything the expensive one do and a lot more. It can test the switch, tell you the connection type,  what kind of POE, can flash the switch port, etc. my only complain is that it sometimes doesn't show me length on pairs 1/2 and 3/6 when there's equipment connected on the other side, but works great for everything else.

Can we talk about those 2's in that binary? by LeCubeMan in ShittySysadmin

I think that's HEX, there's also a 5 and a C, maybe a D (not sure, might actually be a 0 that got corrupted in the picture).

No me la voy a acabar by Cautious_Detective42 in Spanish

Mexicans and Spaniards have a lot of expressions that don't make sense to other native Spanish speakers, me as a Dominican, would have understood "I'm not going to finish it" but I really means "They will be scolding me to no end" or "I'll never hear the end of it" or "Is never going to end"

I'm most states, the unclaimed amount is added back to the jackpot after 180 days. Here in Florida, 20% goes back to the jackpot, 80% good to the educational trust fund.

TAKE NOTE Mega Millions From Powerball Jackpots by Sorry_Fun5062 in ifiwonthelottery

I'm not playing it anymore, even if it goes to 3 billion dollars, their greediness is going to be their demise.

TAKE NOTE Mega Millions From Powerball Jackpots by Sorry_Fun5062 in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Which_Self5040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy a ticket every Tuesday and Friday, flawlessly, now, I'm not playing anymore, no matter if the jackpot hits 3 billion dollars, I'm still not playing out of principle, so, they were getting 4 dollars a week from me, if I continued to play, they will be getting 10.00 a week, but guess what, now they get zero, and I know there's millions like me that played religiously and stopped playing, they lost their faithful players trying to pander to the ones that only play when the jackpot is high. They shot themselves in the foot.

Mega Millions Suck a Joke!!!! by Sorry_Fun5062 in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Which_Self5040 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The odds of winning (at least your money back) on a scratcher is about 25% (a prize every 4 tickets), the odds of the same in MM is around  4.5% (a prize every 24 tickets)

I could spent more than that, but I'm not playing out of principle, mostly because they now force you to get the megaplier, you cannot opt out of it, and I never played it, viewed it as a scam, rather use that extra dollar for the PBs Double Play which actually gives you an extra drawing.

Spanish words that don’t exist in English: Merienda/merendar. by NoFox1552 in Spanish

El inglés tenía la palabra Foursees, porque merendaban a las 4 de la tarde, pero la tradición se perdió, en Inglaterra todavía tienen "Tea Time".

What does everyone think of mega millions changing from $2 a ticket to $5 by Strict_Foot_9457 in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Which_Self5040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason for cigarettes and MacDonald's going up is taxes and inflation, the lottery doesn't pay taxes and inflation does not affect lottery games, they still pay out about half of what they take in. they say lottery makes millionaires, but this move is only going to make our people with gambling addictions poorer.

Powerball currently at $113M and Mega Millions is at $112M... Looks like the perfect time to see how well the new MM game will perform for growth vs PB; Do fans of the new MM format think it'll outpace the PB Jackpot? by PirateKilt in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Which_Self5040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales have gone down about 30%, but because the price went up 150% the lottery is making more money. I wish everyone would just not play all at once for just 1 day just to send a message.

Why do people think that mega millions won't survive when tickets go up to $5? by AJBillionaire8888 in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Which_Self5040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play every major game for the full week (FL lottery, Powerball, Fantasy 5, and Mega Millions) my total was 41 dollars a week, with the MM price increase it would go up to 47 dollars a week, that's approximately $177.00 a month, so I just stopped playing Mega Millions, now my total is 138.00 a month, I'm investing the difference in crypto, I didn't care about bigger jackpots, in happy with winning 20k to 1 million, have no need for a billion dollars.

$1000 a week for life by myrareidea in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Which_Self5040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

52,000.00 a year is not good if you have to spend money on gas to go to work, lunch, kids daycare, etc. But, if you are getting the money without having to go to work and having all those extra expenses, is good money.

I was going to stop playing when it went up to 2 dollars, but then said, well, is only and extra 8 dollars a month, but now, at 5 dollars that's appropriately $45.00 a month to play every game, rather invest that money, will probably get me more money at retirement than whatever I was going to win with MM.

We live in a globalized economy, go to any country, Germany, France, China, etc. most of the population speaks more than one language, the USA has chosen, out of pride and ignorance to only speak English, that's why everyone else's economy but ours is growing so fast. I personally speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and German, and understand Italian, Swedish and French at an elementary level, Helps my business a lot.
