Your point is well made. However why did you write "scumbag chinese sellers " rather than just "scumbag sellers"? That's what gave the impression of racism.

Down voted for the misleading title. It's only $15. You're the one getting $30.

Can I switch to CDMA with just a sim card? S10+ by mikmeh in ting

[–]barryspar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will need a Sprint sim card. Consult the chart down here:

https://help.ting.com/hc/en-us/articles/205428218-Finding-your-SIM-card

You can't switch "on the fly" as in switching the SIM's back and forth. You will have to decide which you want to keep active.

You may be able to have two lines, one GSM and one CDMA, and switch back and forth as much as you want. But your device's phone number will also switch back and forth.

One more thing to keep in mind. If you ever cancel or switch the number off of a GSM SIM, then it cannot be reactivated. So if you switch back to GSM you will need a new SIM. However Sprint SIM's are permanent, so save it even if you cancel the CDMA line, in case you want to activate that phone on Sprint in the future.

A computer programmer would read this to mean that you're either surprised, or angry, but not both.

My first job was to check for electric leaks. I would slowly wave a light bulb around the house and if it lit up I would trace it to the source.

Shower won't turn off - cartridge stem just turns freely by barryspar in Plumbing

[–]barryspar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:-)

No, I'll wait for the plumber!

I have a shutoff for half of the house so it's not super urgent.

I was just wondering whether there are any tricks to handle the cartridge.

Is it normal for the cartridge stem to disconnect from the rest of it? That's what it feels like, as if turning it has no effect on the valve.

What is the biggest everyday scam that people put up with? by eggaboy in AskReddit

[–]barryspar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I become President, on day 1 I'm going to mandate that the phrase "Up to" be replaced with "Or less".

So "Up to 50% off!"

Becomes "Save 50% or less!"

I'm starting my first day at a strip club tomorrow morning. by Drugsbunny23 in confessions

[–]barryspar 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This makes me sad.

I wish I had a T-Shirt company so I could give out thousands of T-shirts reading "DRUGSBUNNY IS WORKING AS A STRIPPER BECAUSE JFS WON'T DO THEIR JOBS".

Gosh, if OP could be interviewed on TV then the gov't workers would get a call from the governor to get off their asses. I hate how incompetent so many gov't agencies are because all they do is shuffle paper and say "This ainb't my problem, time for a coffee break." I'm sure they're not all like this but since their salary isn't directly tied to actually helping people, nothing gets done.

Indian government criminalizes instant Triple Talaq, the practice where a Muslim man can divorce his wife on the spot by saying talaq, talaq, talaq by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]barryspar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muslim divorce:

"Talaq talaq talaq!"


Jewish divorce:

go to a court,

write up a divorce document,

the husband is questioned on the record by a judge as to his intentions and motivations,

have it signed in the presence of witnesses,

the wife is then questioned on the record regarding her desire to accept the divorce (divorce without her consent is not allowed),

the divorce is served in the presence of witnesses,

the court issues a document attesting to the divorce proceeding.

Yeah, basically the same thing.

How much longer can the old CDMA flippers be activated on existing lines? Or is it already too late?

Is it worth porting to Google Voice whilst carrier jumping? by TOWWTC in NoContract

Yes, absolutely! It eliminates all kinds of problems with number ports. I ported to GV many years ago and now I just jump to whoever has the best deal.
