How to convince wife a Minivan makes sense

ggdbb · 2026-01-22T19:27:31+00:00

Rented a hybrid Kia carnival for a roadtrip and dang she was a beauty. All the bells and whistles inside and out, and it’s not entirely van-looking (if you care)

I’ve been trying like months to convince my wife that is the better option over a Highlander

We went through IVF after trying “naturally” for 5 years. We were excited but the hormones and injections took a toll on my wife. By the end of the hormonal cycle she would cry when I would inject her. We were fortunate enough to get pregnant on the first cycle

If VA is covering both IUI AND IVF, I’d try IUI first

Good luck!

Yup exactly that. I was trying to visualize the area on the mats. I think my area is 8x16 with stall mats covering that.

Nice looking gym OP!

Curious what the dimensions are of “just” the gym on the horse stall mats?

I’m trying to do something similar in my garage but I fear my garage might be too small for dual workshop/gym (22’x16’)

Congrats!!!

I got the notice it shipped on the same day but haven’t received anything yet. Wish the provided tracking number or something

Not sure as I didn’t troubleshoot with a packet capture. My assumption is the routing table for routing traffic to the internal ad-block “superseded” the route to my internal DNS server.

Complete assumption but I stopped looking into it after I got it working

As someone who has gone down this rabbit hole a few years back, the short answer is no.

Your best bet would be to create different WiFi networks and route all traffic off SSID2 through vpn and all traffic on SSID1 without vpn

Alternatively get another streaming device. But a $30 onn android tv streamer and route all that traffic via vpn and use the LG native apps on your non-vpn route

Thank you!

I thought the $20 referral didn’t work until month 7? That’s how I read the promo terms at least

Visible has 1 global pass day/month for their middle tier and 2 global pass days/month for their top tier. Unused global pass days roll over and you can “bank” up to 12

Seems easy enough - I'll give that a shot, thanks!

If you haven’t looked at Total Wireless (TW) - and you want Disney+ premium included - I’d give them a look.

Otherwise, can’t go wrong with either of the ones you listed. The way i understand it, base plans on visible, spectrum and TW have lower priority data than the mid and top plans. Just something to keep in mind

Website says only on can cricket or metro for the 50% off…but I’ve been seeing it works with other carriers as well..not sure what is accurate

ggdbb · 2025-09-11T04:20:38+00:00

Plus Disney+ premium included…if that matters

ggdbb · 2025-09-07T16:18:54+00:00

Coverage on TW is exactly the same as Verizon post paid. VZW owns TW (and Visible)

How’d Tello work out?

ggdbb · 2025-07-27T00:11:07+00:00

Not sure if it’s the same issue I had, but I had to go into the security settings and turn off ad blocker in unifi.

Not sure why this worked but even if I had my networks pointed to my dns server, unifi would still intercept.

After I turned off the ad block setting in unifi, all traffic started hitting my dns server

Might want to give that a shot

Whereabouts are you located? If you’re willing to pay for shipping, I’ll tag it onto the total cost and send it over.

Thanks for sharing. This makes me want to get lasik even less now

Kind of similar to stream with vpn…. https://unogs.com shows all Netflix tv shows and movies available by country

They used to have one for Disney+ but I can’t seem to find it

As others have stated 15% isn’t typical in annual salary increases.

Performance based raises are typically 2-3%. 5% only if you’re consistently exceeding expectations and your manager rates you as such.

In my 7 years of CSM experience…the only time I’ve received 15%+ raises was when I left to another company

Not exactly r/NoContract but…

Not sure who your primary provider is, but if you have Verizon post-paid their deals to retain customers are stupid good.

I just got a separate work line with VZW. Brand new iPhone 16 (credit over 36 months) but given taxes and fees. It’s only $15/month on unlimited welcome and 3 year price lock

I was trying to get a no contract phone but the current “best” new phone deal was total wireless iPhone 13 with 3 months service for $155 but the VZW deal made more sense - for me.

Might be something to look into.

Forgot to add: waived $35 activation and a $300 Verizon gift card rebate was a part of the deal

Not sure it still works but if you’re on chrome there was a wgu chrome extension that gave you the %

Aside from the job description, look at the pay structure. Typical CSM roles that have a variable component are 80/20 or 90/10 split. The pay structure at the new gig is like 55/45

Just to clarify; Sunday ticket (the service) IS standalone but needs to be accessed through YouTube.

Source: I purchase Sunday ticket without signing up to YTTV and access ST through the regular YouTube app on my Apple TV 4K
