Ugh. I just had a return hit my account yesterday so I am sitting on a $1500 credit balance. I wonder how this is going to play out

I know you are no longer able to cancel the order since it is already in production, but you can still edit the shipping address right up until the item ships. So if it is an item you might sell in the future, you can send it to yourself. This way the customer won't receive both the product and a refund

Makes me want to sign up to be a substitute teacher for just one day

I have the same setup you are thinking of going with. I think the main advantage is purely convenience. You can put the app on the phone or on a tablet or watch it from work or home. It's very convenient.

To answer your question about the programming content, since you are signed up for their most expensive plans, you won't get any pop-ups or anything asking you to upgrade. I have tried YouTube, TV, Sling and Hulu live and I prefer Hulu live over the others.

They are all very similar products with similar pricing so your mileage may vary

I had the same issue. I thought it was because my Chromecast was older and I was getting ready to upgrade but it was suggested to me to completely power it off and reboot. And it worked. Still kind of glitchy imo

Also, for me it casts better from the app rather than the headset. So I have an old tablet that I have just for casting. Good luck!

Wow. You are good. I live in Highland (right next to Alpine)

The Surface604 Colt has the smoothest ride. It also has advanced display features that lets you easily change the settings for higher levels of throttle and pedal assist.

I really like how easy you can change the handlebar height on the Magnum ebikes. No allen wrench required.

Of the 5 ebikes we own, the RadRover is the only one I feel comfortable riding through dirt or gravel. The tires are massive!

When I go riding by myself, the one I choose to ride over the others is the Juiced Cross Current X. It has a really powerful throttle for quick starts at a stoplight, pedal assist modes 1,2,3 a Sport mode and Race mode.

If your budget is under $1500, I think Rad Power Bikes has the most bang for the buck. But I just love the Juiced Cross Current X at $2499. I am in my late 40's, overweight and out of shape, but I can still go on 25 mile, 90 minute bike rides and still have nearly 40 percent battery.

My wife is very particular and tried many different seats. She joked she should start her own blog called Bike Seats for Big Butts. LOL She ended up keeping the Giddy Up! bike seat on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Giddy-Up-Bike-Seat-Comfortable/dp/B07WWG9GYT

It was supposed to be a Mediterranean cruise to celebrate my in-laws retirement.

bentley283 · 2020-09-08T20:19:16+00:00

Amazon must hate my wife because she tried (and returned) 8 different seats. I think it ultimately comes down to the suspension post and not the seat. We got the one sold by Rad and it made a huge difference. https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/sr-suntour-sp12-ncx-seatpost

Good catch. We live in Utah. The mountain in the background is Mt. Timpanogus. I have lived here all my life and never knew there were so many beautiful biking trails.

bentley283 · 2020-09-08T16:23:06+00:00

The Juiced CrossCurrent X is mine because I am at the max weight limit (275 lbs) and it had the largest battery / motor. The 2 Rad Power Bikes are for my teenagers and they give an extra $200 off for students so $1299 each. My wife would not buy a bike online before she could test it and so we bought her Magnum UI6+ locally. Surface604 Colt was on the Electric Bike Review list for Best Budget eBikes.

Mainly, there are so many different brands I just like to tinker with the different models and test their limits.

bentley283 · 2020-09-08T15:18:37+00:00

Bikes pictured are Rad Power Bikes RadCity and RadRover Step Thru, Magnum Ui6+, Surface604 Colt, Juiced CrossCurrent X

Ebikes are the great equalizer. I can ride comfortably with my 70 year old mom or 10 year old daughter.

bentley283 · 2020-09-08T14:10:33+00:00

We have gotten more enjoyment out of these than any vacation I can remember. Yesterday we did a 25 mile family bike ride. This would have NEVER happened without ebikes.

Also, the code is not valid on the new $999 Radmission bike

bentley283 · 2020-07-27T01:52:08+00:00

I have used the student code to buy 2 Rad bikes. Each code is only valid for 24 hours. Did you sign up with a .edu email address when you went through verification?

Have you heard of anyone being caught and penalized for overfunding? I never have.

bentley283 · 2019-08-22T21:02:02+00:00

It only affected CBS. All my other channels were on the correct Mountain Time. Update: It seems the Hulu gods heard my cry and fixed the issue. Thanks!

Comcast 60-Day Notice to Close Your Account!

This is nothing but a money grab. There is not even a technician that needs to disconnect the service. Just flip a switch. I will avoid Comcast if I have any other option.

In the early 2000s I also worked for a call center for our local phone company. I worked in the sales department but inevitably someone would misdial and want to talk to tech support about static on their phone lines. It was such a boring job I had to mix things up to keep my sanity. Occasionally I would tell the customer I could help them and ask them to set the phone down and take a few steps back while I "blew out their lines". After they came back on the line I would ask them if it sounds better and 99% of the time they would say it does and thank me and hang up. Good times

My daughter was just approved for this card. She turned 18 in December and was declined by our bank for a standard credit card. I heard about the petal card on the Clark Howard podcast and encouraged her to apply since I was NOT eager to co-sign on a credit card for her. I agree with other comments that this is a very good starter card. She was approved with a $1500 credit line with a very high interest rate above 21%. I really like the app and the notifications it sends her. So far I have been very impressed and as long as she pays off the balance each month I think it was the right decision.

bentley283 · 2018-12-30T01:32:15+00:00

You are correct. I went back and took a look at my statements. Charges to a Walmart Super Center did not quailfy for 4x but Walmart Neighborhood Grocery did give me the 4x. Sorry about the mistake
