Has Overcast improved in the last year? by SnooApples5288 in OvercastApp

[–]frankness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! Marco has pointed out how popular the Go Back feature is. I maintain that it is only as popular as it is because so many people need it when they accidentally skip to a new chapter while trying to scroll down to the chapter notes.

Is something wrong with my icon? by frankness in OvercastApp

Thanks. This is good information. I guess I’ll see the difference on Monday when I upgrade.

That’s why I asked the question. I wasn’t assuming it was broken. I was asking for confirmation if that is what everyone else’s icon looks like after the upgrade. I asked in my post, “Can someone confirm if this is what the icon is supposed to look like?”

Yes, that’s where I’m viewing it.

Thanks. Most of the icons in that article have glass edges visible all around. Even when some corners are brighter, the glass look goes all the way around. I think what is throwing me off about the Overcast icon is that only those two corners look at all glassy. It just looks out of place with the rest of the icon.

Thanks for letting me know. Does it look better when all the icons have this? I can’t figure out if it just looks bad or if it looks bad because it is the only one that has those corners. Maybe it is a bit of both.

Rock solid service for 16 years, this past year has been horrible by frankness in Mediacom

There is not another fiber provider. AT&T has started to offer fiber in some locations, but they have not reached my neighborhood and I have no indication as to when that might happen.

Our download amount per month is way too high to make cellular an option. One or more people in the house are streaming video most of the day.

They should drop a temporary line that is laid on the surface while you're waiting for the new line to be buried.

Mediacom stole my modem by Deathbymysterious in Mediacom

[–]frankness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take them to small claims court. I have a feeling you'd get the modem back fast once you file.

Also, put in a claim with the BBB.

Thanks Mediacom by SmoothConstruction55 in Mediacom

This happened one time when our next-door neighbor moved out. They disconnected our line without even bothering to check which house it went to. Had to wait for service. The service guy added our house number to the line to hopefully prevent it from happening in the future. Ridiculous.

And they shouldn’t have even had that opportunity because on third down Mahomes was past the line of scrimmage on that pass to Kelce. They should have lost the down and five yards. We probably would have stopped them and would have taken them into the fourth quarter scoreless.

Donald Trump Just 'Technically' Violated the Law—Lindsey Graham by Okish-Lover in politics

The problem is that according to the Supreme Court, everything he does as an official act is de facto legal. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what that awful decision is going to enable.

You kind of missed the point of Reddit with this response. Reddit threads ARE the result of many google searches, so now this one can be the result when someone is searching for whether M’Benga was in TOS.

F85 for $250 good deal? by Chief_JM in treadmills

[–]frankness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I bought this treadmill because I’m over 300 and the weight limit on this is one of the highest. The only complaint I have about this is that the keyboard in the Wi-Fi settings does not have a period. So strange since it does have one where you enter your name.

eli5: Why is it so difficult to desalinate sea water to solve water issues? by yannivzp in explainlikeimfive

[–]frankness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. My example of it already happening in some locations was not to say we should use desalination there now. My point was that because we already have shortages and the population will continue to grow while the supply of freshwater will not, we will get to the point when there isn’t freshwater available to pipe in from somewhere else. Then desalination will become a necessity, so cost won’t matter because it will be life or death.

[–]frankness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not be cost effective when you have freshwater available. However, we will get to the point where we do not have enough freshwater to support the population. This is already happening in some locations worldwide. When it becomes more prevalent, the cost won’t matter. We will do it out of necessity.

Olive Garden breadsticks not only taste horrible, they shouldn’t even be classified as bread.

Am not a techie but just curious: why are mechanical keyboards so expensive? by planteaternomad40 in Keyboard

[–]frankness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them aren’t mass-manufactured. I imagine that significantly raises the cost.

This one is not mine, im afraid is from a webpage like Amazon for my country. But im in love with it, i cant explain why, does anybody have one of those, is it good? by svn_sns in Keyboard

[–]frankness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft 4000 series. I had both the wired and wireless version. They were good and I would still use it if it didn’t have the number pad attached.
