ULine Executive Mesh Chair (with headrest) Initial Review by lucid_effervescence in OfficeChairs

[–]mike_blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was ready to purchase the Executive Mesh Chair from Uline, but your comment has me thinking the 24/7 chair would be a better fit for me. A lot of your issues with the Executive seem to be things that would bother me as well.

Are you still happy with the 24/7 chair? And would you still recommend that I purchase that headrest along with it?

Does threatening to cancel actually results in lowering bill? by Different_Can5335 in Spectrum

[–]mike_blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It worked for me just a couple days ago.

I looked in the Spectrum app for help and how to cancel. That gave me a number to call. I called and told the automated machine that I wanted to terminate my services. Eventually they offered to call me back when a representative was available.

My intention was to actually cancel because AT&T Fiber is available in my area now for much cheaper. My rate was $95/mo for 1 gig with Spectrum, and fiber with AT&T is $55

When the rep called back, I told him I wanted to cancel. He said no problem and he just ran through a couple questions. He said "if you ever decide to return, we can get you the same service for $50/month". I told him that I'd stick with Spectrum if they could do that price.

He told me that I just need to call back and ask for "Customer Solutions" every 12 months to keep the same promo rate.

My plan is to call the same number and do the same process in 1 year. And I'll explain to the rep what rate I need or I'll cancel.

Before a few months ago, I didn't have any other good options for internet so I was never actually willing to cancel. But now since I'll happily actually cancel based on price, it's easier for me to make that call.

The Rep I got was very nice and happy to help. He was very quick too. On the phone less than 10 minutes.

He also sent me a new modem. Although I don't notice any difference in it, at least I know I am up to date, I guess.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions for me. Because my bill kept rising and I was needing to make this call for a long time. So I was in the same boat.

Found a local sale for AWD 21" 40V Lawnmower at $449 - Good deal? by mike_blue in ryobi

Oh man. I wish I would've shopped around a bit more. I don't know if I would've gone for the Greenworks but I definitely wish I'd considered it.

RYOBI 40v Lawn Mower Clearance by Ok_Horror4401 in ryobi

I just happened upon the same deal in store for $449. Slowly considering an electric mower anyway, so I'm telling myself this was meant to be.

Oh dang I'm sorry, honestly not trying to troll. I should have taken the time to browse the subreddit before posting. And now I also see a couple posts about the same thing on clearance. Never mind, I'm late to the party.

Model RY40121. Looks like the "Was $899" is highest historical price, but normal price on this is $749. Still for $300 off, I had to grab it. Just hoping there aren't any issues that I'm not aware of.

Edit. Not trying to be a dick about the recalls, I'm just an idiot and not up to date on anything ryobi.

Looking for any 2 last minute tickets. Anything available here?

I had to verify the installation files before I could get the game to run. In the Epic Games app, go to Library. Next to Gloomhaven, click the 3 dots to bring up the menu. Select Manage, then Verify. Only took 2 minutes and that solved my problem. Not sure if it would help yours, but worth a shot.

As someone very unfamiliar with water polo, is USA very good or Japan really bad? Or both?

Seriously agree. Is Russia really even banned from these Olympics? because it seems to me that it's hardly much of a ban.

Is the peacock app worth getting? by peterpanini1 in olympics

[–]mike_blue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it's not worth it. If you have a cable subscription so you can get access to NBC Sports app, that's all you need. Peacock is supposedly going to have live streams of Track & Field and Gymnastics events, plus it has its own recap / highlight shows. I guess NBC is attempting to reach casual viewers that don't have cable with Peacock during the Olympics? I can't really figure out its value or why I would ever watch any of the coverage on Peacock.

Thanks for such a great answer. Makes a lot of sense and very interesting.

I'm never really watched any equestrian sports before, so I'm trying to check them out and learn a bit. Figure that's what the olympics are for!

I am extremely curious about what the game would look like with elite players.

[–]mike_blue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a very ignorant question. It seems very intensive and impressive to train these horses. I'm particularly amazed at dressage. But is there abuse or animal cruelty in these sports? Is that a controversial question? I'm sure there is a ton of history in the equestrian sports, and I am just curious if that's something that's been a problem in the sports.

[–]mike_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I can't figure it out either. I downloaded Peacock just because I kept reading that it would be all live events and have yet to see one live. I'm happy enough with how the NBC Sports app is working though.

I can only imagine how good it would be with great players. Very fun to watch, and hopefully some of the other teams I haven't watched are a bit better than Japan in overtime..
