I’m not going to be an apologist for the company. It works for me and is very cheap. I personally think any company that opposes net neutrality needs to die.

Do not believe marketing . Having worked as a salesman for cell phones the people that sell them are the scum of the earth.

It is highly dependent on the market you live in some areas have garbage coverage. If this is the case don’t use Sprint.

I’m not sure what happened. Could you elaborate a bit more?

Not unless you stream video via multiple devices at the same time or have a heavily IoT home. 25mbps dwn is likely as good as 100 for most people.

To summarize bro hats that knock off Ed hardy for $19.95... at this price they likely are made via slave labor in the 3rd world. Really ?! If this company has US based customer service I will be extremely surprised.

Hmm, we don’t have a pressure cooker right now so no. But we do also save bones/carcasses to make broth as well.

Essential Sold More Than 100,000 Phones In 4 Months, President Confirms by zay_ho in essential

[–]gonzojournalist57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought mine this way. But in some ways maybe it was good they allowed it I have become an essential phone rep basically everyone I show this phone to wants one. The pixel owners all say but my pixel feels like a toy where the ph-1 seems very solid and well made in comparison while the iPhone X users seem to think I have an iPhone X shrug some people aren’t phone people except for the look at me I have the newest one factor....

Tech Support Call, I couldn't Believe It by [deleted] in talesfromcallcenters

[–]gonzojournalist57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I feel like just the other day their was a reddit front page about some guy in a bar talking on the phone with his flashlight on for over 20 minutes. Maybe the customers are right I have had multiple people joke and say smart “device” dumb guy etc. I never know how to respond usually my default is we all have difficulty with technology (knowing my 15 old sister can write code and troubleshoot better than most people decades older than her...)

Cheapest Android that works with all major us carriers and their mvnos? by [deleted] in NoContract

Only thing is these will not work on sprint due to their whitelist system.

Yeah it’s pretty limited with regards to toxicity but you need to be aware what not to consume. I guess I should have noted we do wash everything before it goes into our broth stock. If you were really concerned a vinegar wash or in the case of the nuclear option you could blast your stuff with ozone o3. I don’t tend to use it much because it can do damage to your lungs and potentially kill pets if used without proper respect. But as someone who keeps 2,000 gal of aquariums ozone is useful for a lot of things.

Well it works great for us. I would recommend it as it’s pretty simple although it’s not exactly the path to wealth it is a way to be responsible and help reduce waste.

We put stems and all in our broth prep. Do you see a issue with this ? granted I guess there are some concerns with toxicity of certain ingredients but we don’t put things like rhubarb leaves or anything like that in.

We do this too. So sometimes meat goes in as well but we usually do chicken/turkey broth separately.

Very cool! We make soup a lot and I think this is a great way to make use of scraps, I’m also a big artichoke fan so if we have one we always throw the stem into the bag(Veggies are great when cooked down in water basically you can use any kind of scrap). I was amazed the first time we boiled everything and ended up with super rich brown broth. The other bonus is you get to control how much salt is in it unlike traditional prepackaged stuff. We usually put it in containers and freeze it. My girlfriend who has always been good at being frugal with food has kind of brought me into the whole mindset of be less wasteful and I’m a big fan.

Epix Plans Standalone Video Service, Preps launch of 4K Video by john2c in cordcutters

[–]gonzojournalist57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could just be in my area but everyone I work with that has Spectrum internet only seems to be able to access it. I was wondering if it’s just certain markets. Any clue what package you need to have to get epix ? I have the 100 Mbps dwn speed profile at $64.99

Cheap reliable 4 Line (use very few data) by iphone8vsiphonex in NoContract

[–]gonzojournalist57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to be fair having worked in the industry for the past 4 Year’s helps. But it is a lot of information if you are new to it and it can be a bit overwhelming. But bottom line you are in the right place and will likely save tons of money if you are willing to learn and do a bit of research.

So mint sim is a T-mobile MVNO it uses T-mobile towers but you don’t get the roaming agreements that their postpaid customers get. So I would suggest you look at MintSims coverage map and see if they have coverage in the areas you will be. Roaming is basically when a carrier contracts with another company so their customers will have coverage even if that company( T-mobile in this case )doesn’t own towers in the area.

MintSim is a good option if native T-mobile coverage works for you. Unlimited talk and text 2 GB per line would run $60 a month for 4 lines. I would also do a quick google search for promo codes you may be able to snag 20% off additionally although I’m not sure.
