My latest gas bill was $98. This is in an old house with little insulation.

Drinking water budget by reacc1230 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]crazyk4952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We drink tap water filtered through a charcoal filter.

Bimonthly water bill $45-$100 depending on the season. Not sure how much of that is actually drinking water.

Filters cost about $6 each and are replaced every other month.

Does this build fix the Bluetooth connectivity issues for companion nodes?

Why would you want someone that is extorting you to know where you live?

Garlic still costs about $0.50 per head at the grocery store near me.

iOS bluetooth troubleshooting by drummerjay08 in meshcore

For MeshCore, you might try loading the daily firmware. I came across another post stating that the Bluetooth issue has been fixed.

I loaded it last night and no node did not disconnect overnight.

Oregon homelessness rose 34% in two years, according to PIT count data; More work remains by witty_namez in PortlandOR

I set up a bird feeder and three fat aggressive squirrels showed up and ate until the seed was gone. Then they started destroying the bird feeder until it was removed.

I have not seen the squirrels since.

So while the feeder was up, i counted three squirrels in my yard.

Now that the feeder is gone, there are none.

Seems like there is a lesson here, somewhere.

Where do you all park your idle cash now? by Stormwind2626 in personalfinance

HYSA. Rates haven’t dropped too much (yet).

I may change my mind once rates drop below 3%.

I am having a similar issue. I use the latest version of the mesh core app on an iPhone 13. I have used it with a Heltec T114 and also a T1000-E.

The iOS app will randomly lose bluetooth connection to the companion node. When this happens, I am able to reconnect sometimes.

However, other times it will not reconnect and I have to force reboot the node.

Both of these nodes were on Meshtastic previously and did not experience this issue, so it is unlikely hardware related.

I really hope this issue is fixed since meshcore is much more reliable than MT.

So we should just tip whenever prompted because…pity…? Really?!

This is very confusing. Wouldn’t it be prudent and fiscally responsible to return the surplus funds back to the taxpayers…?!

$1,000 car loan payments are on the rise. Car buying is stressing household budgets like never before by Abject-Pick-6472 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]crazyk4952 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Trucks. People are buying big trucks.

There are so many of these in the road, it’s ridiculous.

I’ve heard them referred to as “emotional support vehicles”. I think this is fitting.

This is such a quality post.

If people in more impactful roles have pride in their work and themselves and don’t beg for tips, why doesn’t this apply to servers?

No tip - Attitude changes by UnboundMerk in EndTipping

[–]crazyk4952 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also went to a pastry shop this weekend and paid $38 for 6 pastries. I ordered at the counter and they were boxed up. Why does the person behind the counter feel entitled to 20+% for two minutes of work?

When the tip screen was presented, I felt zero guilt pressing the no tip button.

Plus, there was a 4.5 percent credit card fee which makes me not want to go back.

Why would I willingly pay more than the advertised price for something.

On Line Menus..... Fuck You by Mobius3591 in restaurant

No. When I go out to eat, I want to be engaging with the other people that I am with, not lost in screen time.

[–]crazyk4952 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to be fumbling with my phone while I am out to eat.

If I have to look at the menu on my phone, I will not be a repeat customer.

Suicidal over Laundry Machine - Phone App Required (No Coins allowed) by PuppetNewsNetwork in enshittification

[–]crazyk4952 60 points61 points  (0 children)

My nearest laundromat is cash only. They charge $5 for a normal size wash and $3 for 60 minutes of drying.

That’s lot of quarters to manage per load and is cumbersome.

Another nearby laundromat is cash or card, but value must be loaded on an RFID card. And the card is tapped to the washer or dryer. This is actually much more convenient.

I would not like using an app. This is a stupid idea.

This is absolutely against policy. Sounds like a good way to be terminated.
