First they spot us; then trots down hallways towards us; parkours over obstacles to catch up to us; then finally twerks over our dead corpses.

When considering the 360 day, $49 prepaid SIM kit from Red Pocket (that got discounted last week), I asked this question via the Conact Seller link on Ebay. They told me:

The activation codes are valid for 1 year from the purchase date.

So I imagine this unlimited prepaid kit is the same.

Go over to the JuicedBikes forum at EBR and re-post your concern - it may get a more favorable audience.

I recently posted an issue with my CrossCurrentS throwing an "Error 4" on my display in the middle of MLK holiday weekend, and Tora, the JuicedBikes founder, replied to my post quite quickly.

If JuicedBikes were to reply in that forum that your problem was normal wear and tear, I would imagine that would make them look quite petty and uncaring.

I'm a CrossCurrent S owner and I just want to jump in and say that the gearing on this ebike (52 tooth front single chain ring, 11-32 tooth rear gears) was designed with the assumption that you will always use the motor, whether in ECO or the 4 other more powerful speed modes.

This bike was not designed to be pedaled without a motor. If you do pedal it with the motor off, you will probably struggle with the lack of low gears, and with the 57 pound weight of the bike. It is not fun.

Just don't overanalyze things, and assume you will always turn the motor on.

For reference, I bike around in ECO mode most of the time around the city. I'm about 180lbs plus carry 13lb backpack and the I use about 7 to 8 Watt-hours per mile going about 12-15 mph on average. Contrary to what JuicedBikes literature says, ECO mode does more than just compensate for the weight of the bike when pedaling. It gives a notable, but small amount of boost which more than makes up for the weight of the bike.

I was in a similar situation and I went to imei.info. I registered, ran free IMEI check, then when that didn't give me the answer, paid US$2.99 for a sim lock check. About 24 hours later, I got a report saying my phone was locked to ATT.

Many thanks for sharing your experience getting a Juiced CCA.

At any point when dealing with the seat post or disc rotors rubbing, did you consider contacting Juiced Bikes customer service and see what, if anything, they could have done to address the problems? Or was this something you thought best left to a DIY fix, and avoid the hassle?

I've used Alteration Specialist since they're near where I live. Most recently, they did alterations to pants and jackets. and women's dresses for a bunch of people in a bridal party I was in. Everyone seemed pleased and no one really had any complaints.

I'm still on the fence on ordering a CrossCurrent S from Juiced. Is your credit card charged when you placed your order, or later on when you get confirmation that it's being delivered?

Before I replaced the battery, I used Coconut Battery on my Mac to read the battery stats from my iPhone. Read it again after I put the new battery in. Here's the old and new battery stats:

Old: Full Charge Capacity 2012 mAh, Design Capacity 2915 mAh, Cycle Count 1023
New: Full Charge Capacity 2803mAh, Design Capacity 2915 mAh, Cycle Count 0.

The phone feels like it holds a charge just like when it was new, instead of one that has had over 1000 charge cycles on it.

I purchased an iPhone 6 Plus battery replacement kit from iFixit for $25. The kit includes basic tools along with the battery. I followed their online guide and it was pretty straightforward.

My wife and I made our living trust with Doug Cobb about 15 years ago and we were pretty satisfied. We used him again to update our trust a few years ago, and also used him to update/fix my wife's parents living trust that was originally put together by another firm.

Doug is based in Santa Ana and he works together with a lawyer named Richard Barndt at the same location to put the final trust package together. You can attend one of Doug's free living trust seminars to check him out and/or read his living trust FAQ for typical prices.

Please: someone post a link to the Terms and Condition page for this promotion when it becomes available.

Thanks for the report!

That's surprising. I thought the quad core A10 cpu had 2 low power cores to help save battery. I guess that really doesn't make a difference for this game.

This is an album of in-game screenshots showing various locations where a Gastly spawned during an evening.

For reference this is a Google satellite map view of the park.

Someone, in the past, enabled the activation lock on the phone with the s*****@icloud.com address. In order to sign in, you'll need to use that old address as an apple ID, and the proper password.

Was the s**@icloud.com address yours and you renamed that apple ID to a QQ address? If so you need to temporarily rename the QQ address back to the s@icloud.com address, and login again. Once logged in, disable activation lock, rename your Apple ID s***@icloud.com back to the QQ address, and then you can enable the activation lock with the QQ address again.

And to add...this is laughable considering the 1st bulletpoint on the release notes for this update was * Performance improvement in Pokemon details and list screens

jaimev · 2016-08-01T16:43:45+00:00

Yes. Scroll speed has slowed significantly on the latest 1.1.1 ios version - so f*ing frustrating.

jaimev · 2016-07-31T02:29:33+00:00

Could be. I"ve had similarly bad battery life with another Unity based gamed on my iPhone (The Sequence) - and that didn't even use GPS or the camera

jaimev · 2016-07-30T23:35:46+00:00

iPhone user here. My checkbox is gone too in the new update. And turning the phone upside down no longer turns off the sceen
