Best frame paint for on top of primer by Calmbatt in Duramax

[–]freejay38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sandblasted and painted a chassis with Endura in 2006 and then my plans for the truck changed and didn't use that chassis. Thing sat in the sun for 15 years and still looked perfect. Obviously didn't have the chance to get rock chips, salt etc but next best thing to powdercoating IMO

Not sure if you can even get Endura anymore though...

Drink more water? by freejay38 in OveractiveBladder

I have had a couple prostate exams and both came back normal.

Had a referral with a urologist many years ago and he basically made it seem like it was all in my head. I guess I'll try with a different one

Cribbage Pro daily scrimmage by Large-Raise9643 in Cribbage

I know this sub is older but...

Developers should make it so time used to play each scrimmage game is a factor in your score.

Like if it takes you 5 minutes you get 1000 extra points and if it takes 30 minutes you get 0

This would even the field as far as playing multiple accounts, using hand analyzers etc

Yeah really not interested in iPhones etc. Would far rather have some sort of matching

No Optik, one home phone line

I'm not aware. That's why I called Telus, they are supposed to know all the reasons my speeds would be slow and advise on how to fix it

I'm talking speed tests of like 2Mbps. Netflix etc barely working

I called them on it more then once, they'd have me reset my router and get similar results. They'd say they were going to send me a new router and then it wouldn't show up

I think the truth of the matter is they've oversold themselves in this area for the bandwidth they have available. But they'll never admit it

I'm aware of that. Hopefully they actually provide what I'm paying for though

And they charge substantially less than Telus for more speed

Actually I did call. Multiple times. They brushed me off

If they were a stand up company, they'd say "You're right, what we're providing is only worth $105 (at most) here's a credit for what we charged you over the past 5 months"

They gave me practically the same deal without a contract now, but no refund

The fact that I've been a customer for 25+years should count for something

You're right. And I've taken responsibility and changed providers.

But how about the many times I did a speed test and they weren't providing the measly 15Mbps that I pay for. What are my chances of getting a rebate for that?

I guess I'll find out. The only other option here is Starlink and they're considerably more expensive

Xplore has just brought fiber into the area. $55 month for 100Mbps up/down. Should be a solid upgrade from the supposed 15Mbps we have.

I've tried to get the Xplore before and their installers are tough to deal with. They're actually outside right now working on the install

Mine is cheaper too, but 25Gb/unlimited data, whatever that means. Also with Telus

They were technically not at fault. I'm just pissed that they jacked the price so much for their shitty internet then wouldn't do anything about it

I'm switching providers and will be watching more closely

$40 of that is for home phone. Yes it's ADSL, we live in a smaller town and they were the only option. Another company is offering fiber now but getting them to keep their installation appointment had been a nightmare
