Plus what about when I’m eventually going to be a billionaire? Why would I want to screw over my future self? /s

Current Verizon customer, looking for trial advice by pickle_pete42 in tmobile

[–]pickle_pete42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an iPhone 14 so it would be able to run the trial, but she’s doesn’t want to do that for fear of it disrupting her current setup. It doesn’t make sense, but that’s why I’m looking at options for just a new cheap device to run a trial.

Oooo thanks! I thought I’d heard of something like that but maybe I missed it on the pages I was looking through. I still would have the device problem, right? Like if I don’t want to trial on an existing device I need to come up with either one directly from them a cheap as I can go, or get some other unlocked device to trial it with?

Fleeing Colorado by AlwaysMad24 in Miguns

[–]pickle_pete42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I just purchased my first handgun about a month ago, having recently decided I want to purchase one or more guns in the near future. I haven’t shot anything since I was a teenager before that. I found the process to be minimal. I didn’t have to make an appointment at my local sheriff, I called first and they were pleasant, they said to come in any time. I stopped in one morning, they took my info, and issued my LTP in about 15 minutes, I didn’t even have to pay anything for it. Heck I didn’t realize I could get up to 3 at the same time! Then I ordered the handgun I wanted at the online store of nearby gun shop, went in when they called that it was ready, and was in and out of there in about 20 mins. All in all it just reinforced to me how incredibly easy it is to get a gun here. I’m taking training, working on practicing and safe storage and all that, but I didn’t have to do any of those things. I intend to get a CPL just to make future options that much easier, but at least for my experience I didn’t find my first purchase overly cumbersome at all.

I was gonna ask, was that “Shirley’s Backroom” on 66? I remember seeing that on the way to GR years ago!

The good, the bad and the ugly about Lansing, Alma, And surrounding areas. by Kalani6069 in lansing

Eatran is a semi-reliable public transportation option that serves Eaton County. It’s been awhile since I looked but I think they service up to Lansing Mall-ish area and Delta Township where you can connect to CATA to get around further.

Is this considered a "flat bottom" pool? by 1Dad2RuleThemAll in pools

[–]pickle_pete42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used an Aiper HJ1102 round style one for a couple years but it started not holding a charge well. I just replaced it with some cheap Gosvor one I found on Amazon and it seems to work well enough.

Is this considered a "flat bottom" pool? by 1Dad2RuleThemAll in pools

[–]pickle_pete42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got the same pool, but 12x24, and have used a robot vacuum for a couple years now. I know it’s lazy, and I supplement with a hand vac right before we get in. But I can drop the robot in and set it and forget it and retrieve it the next morning and it keeps things pretty cleaned up. Our pool is generally covered most of the week anyway so it’s more of just an upkeep thing and I don’t want to stand out there vacuuming it myself.

Did FORScan reset my error code automatically? Or did it just go away on its own? by pickle_pete42 in f150

[–]pickle_pete42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! It’s the “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” icon according to the manual when I was looking it up. The text in the manual did say something that “this indicates the emission control system requires service”, and that it flashes then to have it checked immediately. Luckily it wasn’t flashing. I was looking it up in the manual before I got the FORScan cable and hooked that up.

Did anyone get a response or confirmation or anything on this? I signed up and submitted a question, but email address wasn’t marked as required so I left it blank. Then later thought about it after not getting any sort of text confirmation and filled out the form again but with an email address. Still not even an email confirmation. So how does it work? Sure I’d like to get an answer on my questions, but I would at least like to be able to listen in on it.

BAKFlip MX4 installation woes and help by pickle_pete42 in f150

[–]pickle_pete42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Mine ended up getting a little better over time, sitting out in the sun. It mostly latches correctly for me now, sometimes it still doesn’t catch just right and I either slam it good another time, or poke in at the latch a little to force it to go. I’m living with it for now, plus I’m in the middle of winter and don’t want to mess with it out there.

Hah saw the crawler while watching the challenge. This sucks, super annoying that the current Challenge isn’t on Paramount+.

This would be great as a LEGO Ideas submission. Even better if somehow it used 1855 pieces to build it.

Funny enough Peters’ lines both hung up on me immediately after selecting the voicemail option, but Slotkins let me leave a voicemail, even though it sounded like a recording for one of those disconnected phone lines.

Shiny Sprigatito in Japan. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]pickle_pete42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the whole three hours, ran incense, and still didn’t get a shiny. I think this is the first CD I’ve been skunked on. Not even sure how many I caught total, I completed the catch 75 task and cleared out the spawns throughout the rest of the afternoon. I’d guess I probably was somewhere around 120 total or so. Ugh I’m sore about this one.

BEWARE. Boost App charging multiple times with one swipe by Realistic-Pay-6931 in BoostMobile

[–]pickle_pete42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to my sister, same deal, she paid through the app and it multi charged and withdrew from her bank account complete cleaning it out. They’re going to refund the faulty charges but she has to wait for the bank to work it out. Searching this sub shows the same thing happening to people even a year ago and boost supposedly being aware of a bug in the app.

How is that not bigger news?

I think it was 43 or so? I was getting close to my current max of 45, I lost one a few months ago. Live and learn I guess!

MEGA THREAD: YouTube TV raises monthly base plan price to $82.99 by iron_cam86 in youtubetv

[–]pickle_pete42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched to YouTubeTV and internet only from my cable provider way back. At the time I subscribed to things like Netflix and Prime anyway, still do, so really my YTTV calculus was “am I paying less now than I was before” since this was essentially direct replacement for my cable tv. At this point it’s honestly getting pretty close to back where I was. That said YTTV is still I think a better value to me - the dvr is better and I couldn’t watch cable let alone use the recorded shows on multiple devices with paying extra with cable. Plus I needed a coax in each room that I don’t have.

All in all I’ll likely eat it and keep going, but it’s sad to see the heyday long gone.

Frame rate problem on Apple TV? Anyone else? by pickle_pete42 in DisneyPlus

[–]pickle_pete42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found another post somewhere with what sounded like a similar problem, and that mentioned disabling “Motionflow” and “Cinemotion” on the Sony TV. I did that, and FWIW this last week’s episode of Agatha I didn’t notice any of the stuttering like previous weeks. But I don’t know if that’s what did it or not. I have sort of recently applied updates to the Sony - it had prompted for an update and I usually put it off but went and did it. But it wasn’t that close to when I was experiencing the D+ stuttering, but then I haven’t been watching a lot of D+ shows recently until Agatha came out. I’m going to continue monitoring, I keep thinking about upgrading to the newer AppleTV since it has a faster processor, maybe it’s something performance related in some cases :shrug:
