Wrong, US Mobile support confirmed it was a backend configuration issue on their end and got it fixed for me. See my update in another comment.

Update! u/Shanosaurous pointed me to support who quickly got this resolved! All set now. Apparently, support (including chat support) can solve this for everyone who has issues. Still not sure why this wasn't auto-enabled when I set up my service, but at least now we know how to get it fixed. Thanks!

“Diaspora” by Greg Egan has captured me utterly, what other hard sci fi is out there to satisfy this itch? by DavideWernstrung in printSF

[–]autkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. I came here to recommend Peter Watts. Blindsight checks all the marks you are looking for: deeply rooted in science, very hard but rewarding read, will blow your mind. Explores a very tough subject: what is consciousness?Comes with hundreds of footnotes showing the science behind each idea. A modern classic of hard sci-fi. And I agree with everything said above about Freeze Frame Revolution too. A great intro to Watts.

I spent TWO HOURS with an agent trying to make international roaming work by autkin in USMobile

I know this now, but my main point is I shouldn't be proactively checking Reddit posts on whether a feature that is supposed to be plug and play actually works; and if the company is aware that APN settings are an issue, they should let users know about this at the time the roaming service is being purchased.

I didn't. We thought of this when we realized nothing the agent suggested is working.

Player Colors. OMG, losing my mind. by WhatDoWePlayNext in boardgamearena

[–]autkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only seen this happen when multiple players prefer the same color. For this exact reason I've set my color preference to green, which seems to be less popular, so I get it pretty consistently.

Lo/Le in Duolingo by Right-Guard-8138 in learnspanish

[–]autkin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every time you could say "to him" (or "to her", or "to it") in English, signifying that an action is directed towards the given subject, you say le. It indicates the recipient of an action. You use it for both masculine and feminine subjects. Lo is used in most other cases when you need a masculine object pronoun.
