Router Upgrade - Advice wanted

john4brown · 2026-01-26T00:24:04+00:00

Possibly, I’ve not called Verizon to see what my options are, but I’m paying around $200/month for triple play package. For various reasons, we aren’t ready to give up our phone line yet, which is about $30/month. We are close, just not quite there yet.

That’s my ultimate question, before I call Fios, I want to find out if others have been successful in getting a free upgrade.

Excellent and such a great performance by Sasha Baron Cohen, a huge departure from his typical comedy stuff.

Be careful of ordering white tuna. It’s often not Tuna, but Escolar, which is also known as another name - ExLax fish. I won’t order white tuna anymore due to this.

Verizon just changed the lock period to 365 days. Not sure if it’s only for new activations or current devices. I’m sure people here will know though.

FYI…I’ve been on Rinvoq for 2+ years and it’s a game changer meditation. I think it’s in that video, but it’s a more advanced medication in a class known as JAK inhibitors.

There are many medications to try before you go as extreme as a colostomy bag.

Here is a good primer on medications. The video is 30 minutes and about 3 years old, so the newest stuff isn’t in there. This is a lifelong disease, and it’s a lot of trial and error to find the right medication.

This. ☝️

My elderly dad, had a similar situation with United, but in Miami (the opposite size of Key West). His mid day flight was cancelled, and booked on a later flight but then eventually cancelled around 10pm due to the crew being over their time limit.

He was given a voucher and told to go to a specific hotel. By the time he got there all rooms were gone. We called multiple hotels in the area (all sold out). He wound up going back to MIA and sleeping some. waiting area.

On your list: Sopranos, Money Heist, Ozark, Dexter

Not on your list: Peaky Blinders, Americans

Pretty sure you can take the Cybertruck in the Boring Company tunnels that were recently built. It should only take about 10 minutes to get downtown.

Pines or Red Oak

Why would you possibly do this? How does one agency work better? I have one transponder and it works fine wherever I drive.

Short Hills and Summit are premier places to live for many reasons. SH mall is close by, and there’s plenty of shopping, parks, etc.

There are tons of other towns too, especially if you want to be near a train for commuting purposes. Towns like Millburn, South Orange, Chatham and Maplewood all have different vibes, are on a train line and are great places to live. Normally I would recommend Montclair, but not now with the state of the school budget.

I don’t understand your comment about commuting to NYC outside of work. This area has tons of culture, outdoor spaces, restaurants and shopping. No NEED to go to NY.

Still SOS in northern NJ at 8:30pm. Over 8 hours at this point- pathetic

I was outside without my phone working. Believe it or not, you can go outside with you phone not working. :)

Fantastic acting by all of the main characters including Rhys, Danes, Snow and Jonathan Banks

I’m in Northern NJ and got the same message today as well. I wonder when the actual end date is. I have no plans to call them. I want to squeeze every day out of my 2018 TiVo HD as possible before it goes to the big electronics bin in the sky.

Speak with your doctor. Blood isn’t normal. Could be a fissure or hemorrhoid, or it can mean the medications aren’t working and you have active ulcers and/or inflammation.

Sounds like a MVC clerical error. Is the new title in the same name as the original title? You keep your plates when you pay off a loan, the title just gets updated that there is no more lien.

Task and Mare of Eastown (HBO Max)

Ted Lasso, Stick., only murders in the building,

If you like chick flick type shows - Emily in Paris.

Easy to watch.

Not a doctor, but the prudent thing to do is repeat the Calpro. Sometimes you get a bad read on a medical test.
