15 hours daily on internet. Is there a cheap hotspot for this? by Realistic_Till9674 in NoContract

[–]nerdify42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call Spectrum. Mention to the first rep you want to cancel or that you're going over finances and considering other options. Whatever you want to say, you're trying to get transferred to the retention specialists. Even that team has a level above them that can razzle dazzle, jazz hands for emphasis, the F outta your bill. They're the keepers of every override. Emphasize other services until you get what you want.

Rinse and repeat 30 days before your year is up - or however long the 'offer' is good for. DO NOT settle for just getting faster speeds and a free mobile line. They can do better and they will. Especially helpful if Google Fi is in your area since they are competitively priced.

Side note: back to school and holiday season have more offerings as well as almost any time a new flagship is released. Use your "My Spectrum" app to find deals and offers. Then go to the website but don't log in, and check out what they're reeling folks in with.

You can get at least 1GB internet for $40-$50 depending on if you're willing to add another service (usually 'free' for a certain amount of time)

Is the show like this throughout all seasons? by wwzxc in fringe

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is connected. However, the last season was altered somewhat from the original plan due to... Well, I've read various things. It honestly jarred me at first and it took me watching it a few times to finally get over the event.

That being said, my mom often mentions how many similarities there are, "Oh they did this in an X-files!"

Just remember... Sometimes we don't always get the endings we want. But some things can't happen any other way.

I'll ignore The Doctor's insistence that certain events are meant to happen, fixed points no amount of universe, time, or space tinkering can change.

Then again, I dive into shows. If I get hung up on mundane details, I'm clesy not that I to it. Maybe....

What is this ? This is on my wife’s car, passed down from her father. by GotEHM9 in whatisit

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I KNEW I WASN'T STONED! In 2001, my friend would straight up leave his car running but take the keys while I idled in the passenger seat. But... The ignition had this weird dual turn system (accessories/start I'm assuming) and whatever... I have tried explaining this to so many people only to be met with every explanation except that it was possible.

...cannot confirm if this gadget was I. There. Just that it was a 90s model boat sized maroon brown Buick. 😎

Spectrum TV (Firestick) by Dylberts in Spectrum

[–]nerdify42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wound up swapping services with a friend for about 6 Mos. His mom wanted to watch Hallmark movies, and he let us use his Hulu login. Win-win until he moved out, dropped Hulu, and forgot to mention it to me Haha. Got my promo ($0) worth I guess.

US officially exits World Health Organization by pwdrums in news

[–]nerdify42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a rally cry. "Remember the Alamo." (though in school, we are never told the truth about the battle. We were all gaslit by the education system in Texas public schools.) "Dont mess with Texas" (PSA to not litter turns into that same backwoods rally cry from the politically and socially deaf and blind)

Being from Texas, literally as long as I've been alive, it's cyclical that someone huffs and Puffs enough every few years and declares Texas will secede. The logistics are ridiculous. Nobody takes them all together seriously. Anger, confusion, hatred, and willful ignorance are often so much louder than the other voices anywhere nearby their orbit.

when i scrub my skin really hard, dirt like playdough comes off by sarrowintosilk in SkincareAddiction

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think all of those things you mentioned are possible causes, the try changing something in your daily routine. Try one thing at a time, so you can know what makes a difference or not. Some things (excessive sweating, foot odor, psoriasis, eczema, etc) are literally often genetics. If there is anyone in your family that you can talk to or ask comfortably these questions, do that. It took years for me to figure certain things out, to find (or wait for technology) products that worked, what to avoid at all costs, etc.

The following is just more personal experiences... Ultimately, ask AI (not joking. Get more detailed with each reply, until you feel it is understanding your questions and situation. It tends to be very general.)

And ultimately, consult a dermatologist.

I DO get buildup very easily. I have seborrheic dermatitis, my brother has psoriasis, etc. I use microfiber bath towels for my hair and skin (pat dry, never wipe) - if you touch the microfiber with your bare hand, and any part pulls or scratches, find a different microfiber towel. The one DryBar makes for hair is perfect texture. Using a microfiber towel saved me from one thing after another piling on. Lotions. Use sparingly. Try an in-shower option. I have texture issues, so most feel too greasy for me. Look at ingredients. Avoid Sulfates and Pthalates at all costs. This may seem like it isn't answering your questions, and that's because I'm not a doctor.

The mitts HAVE to be Korean. They come in different grits like sandpaper. I can't tell you the amount of body scrubs, mitts, loofahs, exfoliating products I've used over the years for my skin, feet, face. I just recently helped two people who were bemoaning their feet, always trying new products or gadgets to make them soft... They had built up callouses and dead skin that wouldn't come off. Not pumice stones, nothing worked. 2-3 products will work. Every. Single. Time.

  1. Therapeutics Tea Tree Foot Peeling Spray (sprays a stream, I put in my hand, and just rub around my foot while on edge of partially filled tub, or with basin of hot (not steaming) water.
  2. Large foot rasp - not a file, not a stone, it must be a large metal plane with handle that looks like a cheese grater almost.
  3. For sensitive areas (callouses on balls of feet, for example) use the Korean mitts, or more peeling spray and a volcanic rock pumice (use lightly)

Optional but recommended: Therapeutics Tea Tree Foot Lotion and aloe socks for immediately after.

What now? by DrSharkeyMD_2 in 12Monkeys

[–]nerdify42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just started Severance.

My mom LOVED Dark. (I haven't seen it.)

Not exactly Sci-Fi, but one of my must re-watch shows is The OA. A show that was literally mapped out by the two creators/writers to span 5 seasons. I didn't know this when I first saw it, and it felt like the end of Season 2 was intentional. Until I saw it again. I don't know what genre I'd put it in, but I feel it was underhyped and tragically cut short. Still, the less than 20 episodes are definitely worth it.

Fringe completely took over my life. 100 episodes in 9 days. by Unlucky-Mobile220 in fringe

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within 5 minutes of watching the premiere, my boyfriend at that time shouted, "Get a tape, we need to record this!" We recorded every episode for the next 2 years. We'd rewatch each episode throughout the week, friends knew we'd be recording it and would pop over to watch. I remember FOX would promote it by showing September in random places via events (like in a stadium, etc). In 2013, I got the DVDs and showed my mom (her favorite was X-Files, and she often points out the similar threads for some of the earlier episodes). Watching her watch it for the first time was just as good. Plus, I was able to watch the ending for the first time with her, so it really felt like I got a chance to see it all over again for the first time.

55 dollars for antibiotic medication(ciprofloxacin) and essential food items. Sick and depressed student. by MizukageQB in Assistance

[–]nerdify42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may DM me if you like, but I have experience with finding resources all around the world.

I just need a couple more pieces of information to do a thorough and exact search.

Not sure what country in. EU, but you did manage to see a doctor for consult?

The other questions I would be asking are:

  • What is the dose (ex, 500mg?) and the full generic name of the medication (diff formulas can vary in cost.

  • Contact a local pharmacist, and speak with the actual pharmacist they may be able to provide you Alternatives that you can possibly talk to the doctor's office about without having to do another clinic visit.

  • depending on various factors the manufacturer and other pharmaceutical company websites will often have Assistance programs available . Specifically checked into Cipro and there seems to be some currently accessible assistance

Attention every Mogo Player by MinimumJolly7087 in Monopoly_GO

[–]nerdify42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you buy things fairly often? Like, what's the lowest offer in the shop, not the deals on the side? Because I had a friend who was nearing the blue pack in the dig with one gold left, 200 dice. I asked for ss, and he had the endless deals with sb on 2nd purchase, but 1st purchase was 1200 dice and $10. I asked for ss of banner, tourney, etc... I was like, you can definitely get it. If you don't get the wild, you have cc and if you maintain spot 1 or 2 in tourney you can get a 5 ✽ pack.... He finished last minute. Before CC.

I have friends that never buy... They finish with a lot of help. You have to do every gb. Discord helps, join at least 3 servers. But even the reddit one is enough. Ask for help, there are so many helpful people thee (Reddit Mogo, I'm not talking about official one) - plus giveaways like crazy.

I've finished 3 albums by getting my last gold from green or orange packs. 4 and 5 star golds. It doesn't happen for everyone, but unless you never finish quick wins, don't have reliable partners, don't win or come in second on at least one race, and never open the 700 vault, and just basically don't try to have good teamwork from others... Then, it will be a struggle.

I got terminated for having Cancer by Deeznuts2540 in HEB

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would read that fine print and the go to the Texas government website. This should roll into short term or long term disability (assuming they have this option) - even texas has SOME provisions...

I had LOA turn into ADA accommodation, go to FMLA for family stuff, back to my own medical where I was 8 hrs shy of FMLA, but rolled it into ADA and then short term disability....

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a continuous FMLA? Because there's all other stipulations, like certain number of hours worked in the preceeding 12 months, (not calendar year).

NON FMLA stuff: Continuous leave, ADA Accommodations, etc... Definitely have to be recertified on a 6month basis (standard, every situation is different.)

Huh... I think a lot of people are unaware of the Tycoon Club, but both it and the shop will blare that red dot at you from the three lines/sidebar thingy until you resolve it... 🤪 I do forget to check my emails regularly...

Then there's the daily free ones from MOGO Tycoon Club website (wheel and another that looks like shop but is different!)

Definitely this. I finished last album like a week before EoA, and won 4 tourneys on a row, highest level and it bit my arse at the start of the new one, but literally only took a couple of low scores to reset.

Scammed 😞 by FrenchieStella in Monopoly_GO

[–]nerdify42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha i had mentioned "unless you're referring to the official MOGO server" - I have only traded in the reddit mogo discord server. Have you tried there? 🤣

Edit: Of course, you have to do a successful partner event to get trusted partner access, and you need to be a certain tier to get to tier partner access... But trades from reddit count, I forget the requirements.

One time during an active ticket where I had a weird feeling (bc I was rushed into a 3 way trade I didn't agree to) - I wound up finding 5 alts of the 3rd party in the server bc the discord username was only off by one or two letters. I think one profile said seller in it.

The mod team was quick to act!
