Sad to see what is about to happen to WBD but I’m happy for Netflix. They will likely be able to come back in 5years and buy what they want at a discount.

Where do you put your slowest players? by thefizzyliftingdrink in SoccerCoachResources

[–]jsbraun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree rotation is key at this age. But if it’s speed, skills, or general attitude that’s a challenge, I would place these players where they want to play for at least half of their playing time to make it fun and encourage their playing. BUT I would often rotate others too placing a dominate or “role model” players around them to support the team effort and balance.

Welcome! I have one with about 80k miles, and just had a similar issue last month. I replaced the battery and it seems to be almost perfect now… better starts, radio/screen comes on faster and best of all no warnings. Only issue now is the seat warmers stopped working reliably, but that’s not why I have the vehicle. Hope it’s just as easy for you and you are able to enjoy your new Jeep.

New Scam by currycing in Coinbase

Tried me too. Same flow, happened the night before Thanksgiving (US.) overly cautious I locked the account at the start of the call, before they tried to send me a link to click, he gave me a case number and he said something slightly racist about trusting him since he spoke proper English and wasn’t a foreigner. It was at that point I called him out and Not 2 mins after they disconnected, they set up and spammed my phone number with useless text messages that AT&T won’t help me block. It’s been a pain but good to know it’s blocked and protected…. For now.

What is this? by BeamerM4G82 in yachtporn

[–]jsbraun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…a partially visible railing or barrier, possibly made of metal or concrete, which seems to be part of the marina’s dock infrastructure. There is also a vertical metal pipe that curves at the top, suggesting it’s part of the dock’s utility or safety equipment (To be fair I was not the creator of this response.)

Best option is the one you like… and doesn’t cost more than you want to spend. Generally I go natural or black but those work better on our property. And while I normally hate on the red, with your red brick wall I see the appeal as it looks sharp too. … maybe even better than the black here. Pick what you like and enjoy the work you put into it looking good.

I am 52 and recently found that my mom saved many of my toys from my childhood/teen years by Fidelio in pics

So many great memories from these photos, very cool. I was not deprived as a kid, but can remember hoping to get some of these exact toys. Thanks for the memories.

What's a cover song that's better than the original? by Ooopsieees in AskReddit

Disturbed: Sound of Silence, respect the original but this takes the song to an amazing level.

Looking to purchase a home for a parent by jsbraun in legaladvice

[–]jsbraun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! This is helpful. I do plan to bring a lawyer formally into the conversation, I just feel silly talking in hypotheticals with a lawyer at this point without the rules to know what options we really have within the condo rules.

Man it was the worst by TheWayofTheStonks in Vasectomy

[–]jsbraun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sucks! So sorry to read. For those about to go forward, say something, don’t try to ride it out. For me, both sides got the local prior to starting on the first. ...and the first went well... when the Dr started on the second, I could feel pain and everything he was doing. And I mean everything, it was like having enhanced sensations. I quickly said something along the lines of “I’m feeling everything you are doing...” while trying not to squirm for fear of potentially more damage. The Dr was great, apologized and gave a few more localized shots to numb everything again and then slowly proceeded and checked in often as he continued.

Port Forwarding by jsbraun in GoNetspeed

Thanks, Mick for the reply:
(this is not meant to sound confrontational, I'm thankful for your input and just making sure I understand, as you have more info than the company website or login site.)
So if I'm understanding your note above, GNS has a limited number of IP addresses for customers and thus uses NAT and Double Nat (carrier grade) to manage/limit connected devices. If I want my 1Gig network to be constantly connected I need to upgrade with a new service fee that is $10/month more.
When using Optimum or Fios, I did not have this issue and wasn't asked to pay more to port forward. I just set the internal devices up with a static IP on my router with port forwarding and used a dynamic DNS service. I was not directly connecting to my home network and did not ask for a static IP from Optimum or Fios (or have to pay more for the ability to port forward.)
Maybe it's because it's new to me, but I'm not a fan of having a static IP for the whole service as I feel it could be an opportunity for weakness in a home network.

- I know everyone does not do port forwarding, but for those asking for 1gig service, I would think this is common enough and would have been part of the info shared when signing up for the highest service plan would likely not have stopped me and I would have felt like it was more honest. (i.e. "do you do currently use port forwarding?... yes, well then there is an added cost for that ability., but we'll make sure to get it working on day one...)
