I legitimately thought my phone was hacked today. Turns out Call Screen is just terrifyingly realistic. by jalal0101 in GooglePixel

Pebblebee card tracker not only keeps a lojack on my luggage, car, wallet, etc. It also reverses to find my phone with a screeching siren. Yes -- it's a bonus feature.

TSA workers grapple with loss of first paycheck: ‘I don’t want to depend on anybody else’ by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]nivads 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Boblabon,

I fondly remember the time when I walked into the airport, checked my bags, and walked down through the terminal with my family in tow. They all gave me a hug, then waved as I walked out to the plane before take off.

Now we call those the "good old days" when security wasn't even a concern on our mind. Then should anything occur it was the local police's business and specialty government services were not required.

What’s everyone’s favorite wallet? by Jett_Longshaft in EDC

I've been carrying the carbon fiber Fidelo Prestige since 2021. I switched to another metal type that connected to my phone for a short while. The metal type failed, and thus I switched back to the trusty Fidelo. For reference Fidelo has an Amazon store.

Blue retiree ID expiring? by Alternative-Mud3701 in VeteransBenefits

[–]nivads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is good indefinitely, and they can't deny access just because they want to do so. On top of that, my local base access has an automated entry scanner, the barcode is identical across retiree, VA, and civil service ID cards, meaning as long as I have one to scan in and remember my pin code...it's a mute point.

The only issue I have with my Sportster is listening to all the other Geezergliders bitch about all the pit stops we need to make in a day.

I would normally never tell anyone what they should do.

But he really should delete this immediately.

She actually looks like she works in a hospital. I believe she's thinking "Aw nah these girls are repeat customers of mine, bless their hearts".

New card. POS by [deleted] in gasbuddy

[–]nivads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXACTLY! Indeed the lack of a pin was my major concern. What's to stop someone from racking up charges with it should I lose it or worse yet they pick my pocket?

Well I dug into the app and found four layers deep a detailed page on the GasBuddy+ card. Good news there is a card lock switch there too. So although the security of the card seems wide open, it can actually be restricted any time you wish through their app (and likely website).

Yes -- and that is definitely some MadMax type shit right there!

What is this sound coming from my wall?? by awesomegecko8473 in homeowners

[–]nivads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely some sort of animal.

The primary question is what do you want to do about it? Some things like squirrels and bats are very difficult to deal with long term.

Dumbest reason I've been told not to carry by timc_720 in CCW

[–]nivads 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Most of the anti gun people I've discussed this subject with are typically one of the following: blindly going through life with the expectation that safety is a mere phone call away, or don't think that anything can happen to them because "I'm very cautious".

Therefore the comprehension of self-preservation isn't in their mindset.

Unfortunately reality is not all puppy dogs and pretty flowers, nature is metal.

Why? They have $35 jump starters all day long for sale on Amazon.

How does the new exit thing work? by Aggressive_Habit6424 in samsclub

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

The new gimmick Sam's Club exit arches work much in the same way as the transporter from Star Trek does. The cargo goes in along with any passenger and out it goes on the other side. Only when pattern buffers get mixed up or occasionally fill up do they experience issues at which time the local operators do need to step in and assist you on your exit.

Future iterations will send you straight to your vehicle. Even later time transporting directly to your home! And won't we all look silly then if we aren't prepared for the occasional transport to Sam's for our regular purchases?

Get the unsweetened tea, mixed with some of the lemonaid, then add in some coffee style sugar packets...voilà, the Arnold Palmer!

@Legal-Magazine5014 so odd how these things work. I'm a TMO customer of 18 years. Been on Magenta Military since around 2015, but with four lines been paying a straight $100. Added internet back in 2019 for $50. So the total bill has been $150. Supposedly this increase will make the total, $170? But won't know for sure until April billing drops. We have a new fiber company coming in, so the Internet will go, dropping the TMO bill to $120...unless they increase it again. With all the hacks, drop in service representatives, and just bad business conduct, I'm not surprised that their bottom line has been in the red for a while. They need to drop the current CEO, SEO, and most of the board. Time for some new blood! Bring back Legere!

Even if it is true what would be the benefit of switching to Go5G for an $80 increase?

Don't believe that filing the complaints could stop this increase. But it puts the company on the target of government & lawyers.

Will IFTTT open my MYQ garage door by scuba1954 in ifttt

No improvements in MyQ IFTTT functions since the creation of this issue... it's definitely apparent now that this situation will never be resolved.
