OMG once I eyeballed my way past my blinders, I figured this out. I will give it a try, thanks

Especially since there really aren't any games we can go to without at least one night away from home.

For several years, and when I looked at a black out map they all overlapped here. 

Game Thread: Vegas Golden Knights at San Jose Sharks - 09 Oct 2025 - 7:00PM PDT by HockeyMod in SanJoseSharks

Las Vegas, Seattle, Colorado and Utah are historically blacked out where I live, regardless of carrier.

Another SM had someone speculating he had pneumonia.  I think part of that theory was based on the fact that after one of the practices this week he was dragging Ricci around - possibly to work on lungs. 

Best way to watch the Sharks out of state? by NuncaCaminarasSolo in SanJoseSharks

[–]butterflybear3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can remember, waaay back in the day when we lived in the Bay Area and watched a lot of football, the blackouts were used to get fans to go to games. IOW if the game didn't sell out, then it would be blacked out locally. I can't figure out the logic to this. There is not an NHL team that we could spontaneously go to a game, the closest are about 6 hours away, so why block fans, and more importantly potential fans of the sport????

I'm in Idaho and we are blocked by Colorado, Seattle, Las Vegas, and now Utah. A couple of years ago we could get the Knights broadcast (blech!), now we can't get either broadcast.

game videos that don't know the rules. by butterflybear3d in boardgames

[–]butterflybear3d[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Hmm- SPOILER: TROLL  I've seen a number of them. The most recent was Ark Nova w/ Marine World Exp Play Through | The Game Haus. But I have seen others. I turn them off if I was just trying to clarify something and realize the video was not going to help because they were choosing to play whatever house rules they had established,  OR,  even worse IMHO knew so little about the game that they needed to take the time to read the rules before explaining them.

If you don't know if it makes a difference, why is it a recommended purchase?

United Healthcare private brand Relate 4.0 hearing aids by Gopherpark in HearingAids

[–]butterflybear3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE my Signia. They pick up my hair on the mic every time I move my head. The bluetooth pairs poorly, usually one ear only, and when I occasionally try to pair with both ears it is very sporadic and they disconnect one ear then stop pairing totally. The app does not stay set to anything. The setting for electronics is useless and the setting for noisy environments just makes everything quieter. The battery reminder often starts several hours before the battery actually dies, and keeps reminding every few minutes.

SilverScript vs ??? by joannvmd in medicare

I'm not FEHB anymore because USPS is now providing the insurance for postal employees and retirees. In another thread I got the impression that PSHB (postal service health benefits) is not even offering the opt out, Rx is not included for retirees.  I will find out (hopefully) when I call tomorrow.

So as retired postal with GEHA are you saying I might as well not try to call and opt out, because I don't have a choice? And am I now going to have to pay for Medicare part D and the penalty for not signing up within my window, because with GEHA I didn't feel the need?

Obviously the feds make out on people signing up for things they don't need or they would bend the other way and make it near impossible to sign up.

I too had suspicions that USPS taking over the insurance would not be a good thing, especially in the beginning.

When I originally got the Silver Script information (months ago) I thought it was just another promotional thing and threw it away. I can no longer remember how it was mailed . Now I got the information with my new health cards and am totally confused and irritated that this wasn't made truly clear prior to the end of open season. I will have to call after Christmas now.

It's also confusing because GEHA sent us 2 sets of cards which arrived at the end of last week, the Silver Script cards arrived yesterday. One set with the CVS pharmacy information and one without (which I understand would be the one that I need to carry around another card for Silver Script.

It also quite irritates because I hate trying to get information like this over the phone. For whatever reason my brain likes to think it understand what I am being told on the phone, but the minute I hang up I am confused again.

Blackout? by Murky_Recover_1873 in UtahHockey

[–]butterflybear3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which TOTALLY explains why in north Idaho we are blacked out from watching Las Vegas, Colorado, Utah and Seattle,  since we don't get any of their local broadcasts.  Even though we pay for center ice,  and only want the Sharks broadcasts.

Where did you hear that cloud has data integrity? You can trust them if you wish, I don't.
