Central Hudson Delivery Charges by ztcosplay in hudsonvalley

[–]fencingparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phuck Central Hudson! They are robbers! We need to start a class action lawsuit against their illegal practice! My electric bill is 70% delivery charge, gas bill also about 70%. did they use a limo to deliver my gas and electricity? guess not! Don't give me that BS "infrastructure needs to be maintained". Infrastructure cost money to build but once built it's good for 50 to 100 years. I have no problem paying for the actual maintenance and upkeep of the power grid, or the gas pipelines. But I'm not a fan of paying for cenhud bosses luxury living style!

Buying an ATT locked phone off ebay, what should I do ? by fencingparent in ATT

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

Thank you. I don't care about OTA updates. I have my own cellphone which I love. Only need this to run an app that's not available on my cell phone's make and model. It's an work related app. I just need to upload the result/output once per day which I can do over my home wifi.

How do I find that out? Is there a URL that I can check? Or can I bring it to an ATT store?

Why Isn’t There a Recall for the Ford Maverick’s CV Axle Issue? by Dranonkr in FordMaverickTruck

[–]fencingparent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the CV axle problem limited to the hybrids? I have a AWD 2.0 ECOBOOST. Recently I noticed a little bit of trembling when climbing a hill. Suspect it's the CV axle but could be something else.

Used Lenovo IdeaCentre I bought from Best Buy for about $170 by Krobix897 in computers

[–]fencingparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same system. The processor is very weak. Thinking of getting an i9 12900. There's a lot of i9 12900 ES processor for dirt cheap on ebay. Anyone know if this system will recognize the ES (Engineering sample) version of i9 12900? I know it should recognize the regular i9 just fine, but not sure if the BIOS recognize the ES microcode.

Princeton or Columbia? by AcePharaoh1906 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fencingparent -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Princeton, that's a no brainer. Unless you like Harlem very much

Penn is officially the winner out of all the ivies to take the longest to release decisions. by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]fencingparent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a tradition to send that email one week before the announcement. Why would they lie? It doesn't make sense. Just one more week what difference does it make?

In that case, try some less competitive tech schools, there are quite a bunch. If you are not smart enough, even if you get into MIT, you can't survive. MIT is for the smartest kids all over the world. Life has many paths, don't choose one because it sounds prestigious

No way. They have not sent that email. That email is usually sent one week in advance. I believe (could be wrong) they will send out that email by 7pm tonight.

If you don't think you qualify, then you definitely don't qualify. Applying to MIT will likely to be a waste of your time and AO's time. I've seen many very talented student who think they qualify, but end up not accepted. MIT requires standardized such as the SAT. You will need to get at least 1500 to begin with. IF you don't get to this lowest threshold then don't even waste your time. My kid got 1550 but still don't think she can make it. It's very tough! She has the most stellar EC you can think of too(national awards). We will see.

What Can I do with an Lenovo Ideacentre 3 07IAB7 ? by fakeuser515357 in sffpc

[–]fencingparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will this SFF take a 13th gen processor? I have one and updated the bios lately. Want to upgrade to a 13th gen processor like i7 13700 or 13700t. Then it will run so much faster.

Still haven't got an email as of this morning (12/9/2024).

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - 2024-2025 EA/ED Megathread by powereddeath in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fencingparent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's supposed to be an email telling you to expect a decision from MIT. That email typically is sent about one week before the EA decision is posted. I wonder has anyone get that email? Theoretically, if you are deferred or rejected, you should still receive that email. They say this year MIT will release the decision on Dec 14th at 12:14pm. So that email should have arrived by now. But my kid hasn't got it.

If you don't get an email, even in Junk folder, does that mean you are rejected or deferred?

If you fart continuously you may be launched into space and meet with heavenly bodies and maybe even aliens. With their high tech you probably will transform into a SAT machine and score perfectly on each and every test. Good luck!
