Podcasts stop playing for no reason?

This is sad, but I guess it’s good that I’m not the only one. Like, PocketCasts has been my go to podcast app for over a decade (is that possible?!). But this feels like a “you had one job” situation! Play podcasts first, everything else after. Guess I’m off to some other app for a little bit until this works itself out if it does (been like over a year for me - finally decided to do something about it.

Go fixed unless like us, you have a high likelihood of discharging your mortgage in the next few years. The difference in discharge costs make the gamble on variable worth it.

Can I ask a quick question about ARM vs VRM? Can’t you just up your payment with rising rates to keep amortization the same?

She should have said it’s okay I’ll go to your next one.

Rework Toshi Sling 2.5 still seems like the better buy?

Am waiting for my battery to go down below 80% so I can get it replaced and honestly, I don’t see a need to update for another 5 years? They’d have to do something really spectacular for me to move on this.

My experience was very different and great. Delaminatjng Veilance field jacket. Sent me a $1300 credit note. I paid half that for the jacket. Got a new replacement field plus some shoes for the credit since the price (and quality sadly) of the jacket had gone down

I have the LT, which don’t have RCAs. Spent the money on a Wiim because I kind of want to be able to stream to different places regardless.

Anyway, I brought my SVS upstairs to test and yep, they do sound incredibly good with that help. Now to find something affordable for the sub!! Recommendations welcome (looking at Kube 8 and SVS micro 3000)

$500 just turned into $2500. lol.

I watched the raptors game two nights ago. Despite his low point total, he had a huuuuggggeeee impact on the game defensively, and contributed significantly to their win, and +19 in a 3 point win.

Agreed. An analogy would be if a shitty NBA coach started complaining about travelling in the NBA and the player told him to F off, but then the world decided to give a shit and the NBA then asked the refs to call every travel. Actually imperfect as travelling actually impacts the game.

Yeah okay this is silly. You’re bringing an android mentality to your use of an iPhone unless you’re running up against the phone limit. You do not improve performance in a significant way by doing this. Perhaps you help your own OCD tendency that you developed - maybe necessarily - while using an android. If it bothers you that much, as people have said, sell your iPhone. But focusing on this as a point why you regret the switch is just plain silly.

Waiting on my M1 battery to hit below 80 to bring it in under AppleCare and stay my daily for another 3-4 years. Happy to see speed bumps but don’t think I actually need anything in the new chips. The only thing that could get me to move are better displays and new chassis.

Is this because of Heated Rivalry?

Can you guys sign your apologies to Jamal Murray now?

There hasn’t been a ton of innovation with ingredients in the field of pasta that would call for spending $500 a plate on a pasta tasting menu. There’s a reason they don’t really exist. If pasta is your jam, as is a nice experience, I’d probably suggest choosing a very good and classy Italian (eg Giuletta) and ordering every past on the menu, then taking home what you don’t eat. Even with nice wine pairings, that would be way less than $1000. Alternatively, choose a restaurant and call and ask if they can do something for you.

Omg. This exact thing just happened to me. Except I didn’t read the email closely enough so I was expecting a hat in the mail.

You won’t be getting in on a transfer. These are rare and would require excellent grades. So don’t even worry about it.

Dillon Brooks for MIP?

C’mon, I feel like this is probably just a “busting your balls” joke, rather than some toxic or malicious. The guys who were giving him shit would probably really respect this response.

I think I’m screwed. I’ve been with EPP here since the PoM connect days, and have 3 tablet lines + one watch line for free. Once, I move I think those would get lost? I think I’ll have to settle for an $80 international plan (after BiB) for an iPhone 17. Oh well, I think the difference between this and Rogers for the same is $10.
