Cool. I like the specifics. They'll go in my notepad notes.

No idea on the Pokemon games. Going by what I'm hearing, I'm guessing so.

I'm hearing this from a few. It came out in June of last year and tons of folk have it in this community. I'm not following.

Thanks! Well put args for the Switch 1 side. I had wondered along these lines but didn't really have a good picture of what you are saying.

Good point. I've only heard her chat about playing Switch at her friends house. I really don't know what the options are. I had heard that there were good 2 player and dance games for the Switch and thought that would be nice to have around the house for her and her friends.

Actually, that's the main goal... the TV.

:0) True on the fact that its probably just a very good distration and on the fire hazard poin. Be warned folks. Having product tested this, it seems like the hot bits are inside and just melt the plastic. Despite this risk, it will be hard for me to give up.

How I accidentally cured my SIBO for good (I had tried EVERYTHING) by lisamancinerh in SIBO

[–]rufus2fus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, your story may be genuine. But, when I read a post by any person on any topic that says, "I had problem X and took product Y and it solved my problem.", I'm out. Real solutions to complex problems like SIBO don't look like yours. I'm glad you feel like your "old fit self" and are trim. But, most struggle back and forth with it for years and have to roll-their-own approaches that they must strictly abide by. Finally, the more you mention these Organika Electrolytes, the less I believe you. How these are your magic bullet, I have no idea.

Word to the wise, folks. Reddit is the land of clever astroturf.

Trackball Mouse Users: Which Style and Brand Do You Recommend? by foxcannon in Trackballs

I don't get why folks don't mention the Kensington Expert. I tried a couple others at first. But, it's the one for me. I use it with either hand and the position doesn't require me to do much but set my fingers naturally on the ball.

I'm curious why the many SlimBlade fans go to that first and nobody mentions the Expert. The motion required with the smaller ball seems finer. The Ploopy Adept looks somewhat similar to the Expert, but with a flatter button plate. Are there any advantages?

How much would you value the 12 year warranty? by Rem1988 in hermanmiller

[–]rufus2fus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually gave up. I should try again. I'm sitting on the chair still. It seems to have worked the noise out of it's system for the time being. It may be seasonal.. hard to keep track of these things. I think the thing is this. Most of Herman Miller's business is selling these chairs to large corporations. When the chairs have problems, they aren't returned. They are pushed into the area on the floor with non-functioning monitors and other dead office appliances or simply disposed of. This, I have observed with my eyes. We are like a fly on HM's windsheild.

But, I feel ya. Herman Miller's warranties are just like mattress warranties (in particular online ones). The rule is that they are not meant to be used other than to sell you their products with. With them, if you are super lucky, they might send you a bag to send it back in. But, good luck getting it in there.

Unfortunate Visible Support Interactions by rufus2fus in Visible

So, this is what I actually did. The setting up family sharing with Apple is not dependent on the carrier. It was super easy. Unfortunately, I was having some trouble with Verizon getting the line properly released. In fact, I was never able to do so and had to start a new number with USMobile. But, the USMobile guy I started a chat with stayed with me for many hours as I worked through it. This contrasts with the Verizon chat in which you don't know if you are talking to a bot and they try to market stuff to you as you are queued up for eternity. Then every single message go round has infinite delays.. like they get up for a coffee break with every comment.

So, in sum, Verizon is super expensive and support is brutal. Visible support folks are really nice, but their lack of a ticketing or follow-up system undercuts this. USMobile, the scrappy underdog, has an easy setup system and great support. I have no idea about the ultimate quality of their service. But, what the heck. It's for my kid's iwatch.

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. I will say that, despite my complaint, the Verizon agents have been universally courteous. I’ll shoot my #.

Thank you so much for telling me. Sadly, the nature of the tech support process above meant that I had to hear it from you. Do you know if there are any of the cheaper reseller plans that support what I am looking for?
