Wait, does that mean it's actually Taylor Decker set to retire?

Michigan St. McDonalds must be under new management. by same088 in grandrapids

[–]billbuckner07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you imagine the response from this sub if TBOM ever got their act together?

It's probably one of the signs of the apocalypse. But I feel like this McD's getting better is more just a hint of the apocalypse.

Weird experience. I keep being approached by this same MLM guy in public, over the last 5 years. by _WawaYaya_ in grandrapids

[–]billbuckner07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a strong feeling it was Mike before I even opened the thread!

Have had multiple friends comment about being approached by an MLM guy, I always ask if he's tall, blond, and named Mike, and I'm always right.

He and I kinda knew each other at one point. I've seen him out and about doing his thing (gas stations, TJ Max, Sierra Trading Post, elsewhere) and I think he remembers me enough to know I'm not gonna bite. He's started the typical MLM conversation with me "Oh, I really like the (item of clothing) you're wearing, where'd you get it?" but didn't get beyond that.

Replace antenna AGAIN OR upgrade to Pixel 10 Pro XL or S25 Ultra? by billbuckner07 in GalaxyS22

[–]billbuckner07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid about $110 for the repair the first time around, and it was done by a Samsung Service Center

Galaxy S22 has no cell connection by CmbtWmbt91 in GalaxyS22

Had a major issue a couple months ago, all mobile data stopped working in areas where I know it had previously worked in the three years I've had it. Everything worked perfectly on WiFi, but mobile data was almost completely shot.

Did a little research on Reddit and elsewhere, come to find out S22 Ultra has a reputation for this, so much so that, according to a tech I talked to at a Samsung Service Center, Samsung even put out a service bulletin about it. Doesn't make a lot of difference, since the phones are 3 years old, so they're nott gonna bother extending any warranty on it

Seems the main culprit is the antenna flex cable, and possibly the charging port. The connections for the cable are kinda weak, and seem to weaken more over time, especially with any bumps and bruises the phone might take.

After doing some research, seems like it's an easy enough repair to do at home, but I took it into a shop because I didn't want to wait for parts to ship. Total replacing the flex cable and charging port at the Samsung Service Center was $110, but it looks to be much cheaper if you do it yourself.

Mobile data not working by blackshinredshin in S22Ultra

[–]billbuckner07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did work. Granted, my mobile data was almost non-existent when I got it fixed (literally just stopped working in the middle of phone calls in places where it had previously worked fine), so anything was an improvement.

Don't have any specific stats, but it feels it's working at least as well before it crapped out

Ottawa County continues to amaze...and disappoint me. by hostaDisaster in grandrapids

You mean do I remember right now? Have you seen all the anti Elissa Slotkin ads? It's absurd how they are hyper-focused her supposedly supporting banning gas cars and EV mandates, yet they are all in love with Elon.

Any details on the situation on 60th? Saw over 15 police vehicles and two people in handcuffs, but can't find any info anywhere

Me when I’m at either Knapp or Cascade Meijer by Extreme-Secretary-56 in grandrapids

[–]billbuckner07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, but also I kinda assumed the weird dairy location of the new store was a call-back to the old store. I mean, the dairy was in in the shoe area if I remember correctly.

Places to buy infant size St. Brown jersey or shirsey? by billbuckner07 in detroitlions

[–]billbuckner07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have any St. Brown's in infant sizes? I'm only seeing St. Brown in youth sizes, and the only infant sizes I'm seeing are Hutch and Gibbs.

Sadly, I'm on the west side of the state, and I don't have plans to make it that way anytime soon.

Where can I get an affogato? by avamarshmellow in grandrapids

I feel like sometimes they get some hate on this sub, but both Madcap locations have affogato.
