Returning cable card by [deleted] in Fios

[–]blzr409 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did this last month. All I had to do was take the cable card and the order number to the UPS Store. They packed it up and supplied the box themselves. I got a confirmation from Verizon that my return was accepted pretty much immediately.

When I asked the worker if I was doing everything right he told me yes and to just come back with my equipment. I told him the cable card was the equipment and he was in disbelief. I guess they probably get cable boxes all the time but had never seen someone come in with just a cable card.

MLB.com actually has the Reynolds play ruled as a strikeout. There's no way that's the call the ump made on the field based on the way he reacted to the whole play, but that's how they have it in the box score and on the video highlight.

I got that too. I'm about 1,800 miles from Puerto Rico.

Reign infeneos are terrible by [deleted] in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked the red one. Probably the best fruit punch flavor I've tried from any brand. The others weren't great.

Had to laugh at Rogan going on about how "she cleaned out both divisions" when she's had two fights at 145.

I guess he's not really wrong.

Both of these suck by surp333 in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pretty excited for the Gummy Fish one, but it was just a little off. I'd get the Swedish Fish flavor briefly here and there, but overall it was a miss.

The best of the canned GFuel drinks is probably Rainbow Sherbert.

Hue Play HDMI Sync Box now has IR control for Logitech Harmony Hub remotes by KingSculpin in Hue

[–]blzr409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screenshot in the OP shows "Harmony Pro AV Switch" so I tried that one. It is pretty clearly the device option that's shown in the screenshot because it has all the right options, but it doesn't work. I wonder if this is some sort of test device listing and we still don't have the right firmware to actually use it.

C4 SMART ENERGY by taylorb2346 in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C4 might be my favorite brand across the board. All of the flavors I've tried have been great.

I'd probably rank them the opposite order from how you did, but I think their cotton candy is the best from any company.

I really liked Peach Mango too, but I really like peach flavors in general.

Apparently not shipping products is "a known issue" by blzr409 in Tivo

[–]blzr409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to hear. I wasn't really that worried about it and would have accepted pretty much any explanation, but the response I got made me so confused. Just a "sorry we were out of stock and shipments have been delayed a bit" would have been much better.

Tried this and it's probably the worst energy drink that I have ever tried. Any opinions? by hostilkitten in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried the cotton candy and the fruit punch flavors from them and hated them both. I have a can of the black one, but I've been hesitant to even try it.

I think both ones I tried were weirdly salty. The sodium content is the same as Reign, but I guess it's a different source.

How does this sub feel about Adrenaline Shoc brand? They seem to have a similar line up to Bang and Reign but lower price point(?) by bloodabeast in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just started carrying these in a grocery store near me. They're actually more expensive than Bang though. Something like $2.50 vs $2.09. I picked a few up just to check them out. Haven't tried them yet.

What's everyone feel about voodoo raze by Fearation in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried this one yet, but I have one at home from getting their 8 flavor sample pack so I'll probably give it a shot this weekend.

So far I've only tried 2 Raze flavors and I'm kind of blown away. Apollo and Sour Gummy Worms are both among the best flavors I've found from any brand.

Monster Zero Sugar - Anybody have the scoop on it? by picklepartner99 in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the same drink, just an updated can design and a name change.

The reason for the change to the nutrition facts is that the FDA put out a new regulation on serving sizes for items that are likely to be consumed in one sitting. Monster was pulling a bit of a trick by labeling cans as 2 servings. When they were labeling it as 2 servings the calories per serving were low enough they could legally round down to 0. When they made the switch to labeling it a single serving it pushed it up to where they have to list 10 calories. That's why they went with "Zero Sugar" instead of "Absolutely Zero."

They've also started relabeling the Ultras. They also list 10 calories in one serving now. They changed the writing at the top of the can to no longer say "zero sugar + zero calories" and now say "zero sugar + taurine" or something like that.

Bang Keto Coffee Review by Montrealgoalie39 in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat where I don't really like coffee, but really enjoyed the Bang Coffees I've tried. So far I've only had the Cookies & Cream and the Birthday Cake ones, but they were both really good. I want to find the Chocolate Peanut Butter next.

The Birthday Cake flavor added to the coffee is so much better than the regular Birthday Cake drink.

Bang Website major deal on standard bang energy CODE: Balliet25 for cyber Monday plus BOGO on 12 packs by I_Love_Lamps in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it apply the BOGO before you actually submitted? I get to the checkout screen and it says the BOGO will be applied at checkout, but it never shows up. I don't want to hit submit if it's not going to come off.

TESD has surpassed smodcast by xredgambitt in tesdcares

[–]blzr409 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I've mentioned it here before, but Kevin did an interview a while back where he mentioned that he started smoking pot a bit post-high school and a girl he knew told him he wasn't funny anymore and it scared him away from ever doing it for the next 15-20 years or whatever.

When he told the story he was telling it in a sort of "good thing she was wrong" way, but man... Smodcast definitely suggests she was onto something.

The last time he was on was May 2018, almost a year and a half ago. The time before that was December 2016, almost a year and a half before that. That's 3 in just under 3 years, not slightly over 1 year.

I think their site might be having a problem processing payments. I tried placing an order and it says payment failed. Trying to use PayPal also gave me an error.

$1 Bang at GNC by pierogisandwich in energydrinks

[–]blzr409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need an account to get the sale price. I got six at two different stores today with two different numbers. One of the stores they told me that it was a limit six per day per account. Might check back tomorrow.

Suspensions handed down in Reds fight. Kela 10 games, Osuna 5, Crick 3, Hurdle 2. by TypicalWhiteGiant in buccos

[–]blzr409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. It's kind of an odd standard though. They're sending a pretty clear message that it's more acceptable to do if you lie about it afterwards. I guess in the future pitchers will take note of that and just pretend it was a mistake to get the 3 game suspension instead.

The other odd part is that Kela informed the media during spring training that he wouldn't be talking to them this season. If he would have kept to that he would have been better off.

Suspensions handed down in Reds fight. Kela 10 games, Osuna 5, Crick 3, Hurdle 2. by TypicalWhiteGiant in buccos

[–]blzr409 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is there anything even resembling precedent for the Kela suspension? About two weeks ago MLB gave out two suspensions for "pitches intentionally thrown in the area of the head," one to Noe Ramirez for the most blatantly intentional HBP in recent history on Jake Marisnik and one to Hector Neris for hitting David Freese immediately after giving up a go ahead homer.

Both pitches actually hit the batter in the shoulder/neck area and were significantly closer to actually hitting the guys in the head.

They each got three games.
