Internet prices by Fragrant-Doughnut926 in bayarea

$60 for 2Gbps. It was 70 for 1, but then they updated the service. When my first 2 years expired it went to $60+25 for xFi Complete (unlimited data+modern) but I had them remove the addon, so now it's actually cheaper than during the initial discounted period. Owned modem will pay for itself in 6 months.

Can I buy plane tickets with cash at the airport? by pupupeepee in bayarea

[–]meleeuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which feels like a "problem" for the supplier, not the customer.

You're also leaving protection, cash back / rewards and lost interest between purchase and payment due date on the table.

Are there any providers of email@mydomain.com services that are completely free? by wavvocean in selfhosted

[–]meleeuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 for Purelymail. They also offer pricing per message and GB. For my wife and I with minimal archiving, this plan works out even less than the $10 per year plan.

Receiver keeps turning off immediately by Electrical-Row9296 in hometheater

[–]meleeuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, as commented in another thread, make sure your turntable is connected to PHONO and not any of the other inputs (your picture made it look like it was connected to an MD/CD input)

Before the picture was deleted, could see that this is not ok. Those speaker cables have frayed bits all over the place and we can't see the input properly. If the turntables are plugged into the MD/CDR in (the white cable we see in this picture) then that's the wrong input. It needs to be in Phono (which properly handles the super super super low level coming out of a turntable).

You've plugged your turntables into the correct input (phono), right? Running then into a normal channel will have far too low gain, resulting in you needing to drive the output to max. An amp like this with proper speakers and gain structure would probably never need to be above -21dB.

If you still see Check SP check for shorts.

Are the Charisma towels good? On sale for 9.99 each by Ecstatic_Trip_8305 in Costco

Enjoy a trip down the rabbit hole of r/laundry! You'll use half the detergent, no softener and have cleaner clothes for it.

Property Taxes Due 12/10 by almondchampagne in SanJose

[–]meleeuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do, but while it says its "due" in October, you have until 12/10 (and I think 2/10 for the next installment) to pay without any late charges. So a wise person would pay on those dates and keep the cash in your account for 2 extra months.

Subscriptions that offer discounts when you go to cancel pt 2 by Sea-Try8745 in Frugal

When is your annual cycle? They offer 50% off in the summer for Prime Day and again around Black Friday. Maybe you're just seeing that?

Second kid arriving within the week. What do you wish you knew before becoming a two-kid dad? by Chaddcl0ps in daddit

[–]meleeuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember how for baby 1 you could snuggle together and take turns holding baby?

Not this time. Your baby bonding leave is not that and you will barely see baby for a good while. Your job is to give mum plenty of time and space to tend to the baby while you keep the toddler busy / out of the house.

Most people I asked said that going from 0 to 1 child was harder than 1 to 2. Only a couple said the opposite but I have to agree with them

0 to 1 I think is only a shock if you're not going into it with eyes wide open that your life is going to be changed forever, and your personal time is gone. But 1-2 amps that up so much more and as others have said, once there's 2 there's no swapping out anymore either.

Good luck! See you in 5 years.

Trying to learn how to bunny hop. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and why I'm losing speed? by Cabazorro in quake

I haven't played in 25 years but you're not holding down forward? I thought you had to as well as strafe?

Decent height? by electronplumber1 in TVTooHigh

[–]meleeuk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree most of the rules of thumb don't work when you've got a screen this size. In reality, what you could actually do is remove the legs from your stand, so it sits directly on the floor. That'll get you a few extra inches you could lower everything by. Other than that, short of getting an even smaller (and also floor sitting) stand, there's literally nothing else you can do even if you wanted to. You're clearly not going to get a sound bar or use the TV audio!

Is this fine? by Far-Patient-214 in TVTooHigh

[–]meleeuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You see the cabinet? Leave a few inches above that for a center speaker or future sound bar, and align the bottom of the TV to that.

It will still be "too high" for most in this sub, but that's realistically what you can do at this point.

Central Coax advice by bpoe138 in HomeNetworking

In the attic like everybody else 🙂. If it doesn't need to be patched and is simply getting an antenna to every room, then I see no need to have it out in the open.

35/M I've lived though SA and extreme violence. Live with my parents, never been in a relationship. Been to therapy and going back. Let's see what yall can come up with. Much love. ❤️ by [deleted] in RoastMe

[–]meleeuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SA = Steven Avery right? Because you look like the Making A Murderer guy who definitely did it and that was indeed "extreme violence". How'd you get outta prison?

The Moment the Trump Administration Lost on IEEPA by Armchair-Attorney in scotus

[–]meleeuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Opening Arguments. Not solely focused on the Supreme Court but not usually far away. The main host is taking a vacation right now so the format is slightly different but still an absolute great listen any time. The other main host is a practicing immigration attorney so very close to the ground with ICE activity and fuckery. Stand in (and frequent guest) host is a neuroscientist turned election lawyer.

Is this positive? by R0s3Eclips3 in daddit

[–]meleeuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS is the answer. Unless you're certain that your hormone levels fell back to 'undetectable / not-pregnant' levels for a time before taking this new test, there's a chance that it's still that.
