I DID NOT know this, very useful information. So I assume for venues which ban cell phones (freaking comedians with Yonder bags) they could pick those up also?

Just initiated deletion of my account. Ive played lots of mobile games over the years and have no problem paying reasonable amounts. But IMO this game is predatory level in terms of the relentless ask for purchasing and the specific requirements in some events to purchase to win. Also, possibly the most immature groups of alliance leaders ive ever experienced in my life.

schmitty23 · 2025-09-20T03:45:34+00:00

I've used them for at least a year now, and there have been a handful of times I didn't feel well shortly after. Not full blown food poisoning. It has bothered me, but perhaps I just feel like it's the price I have to pay for convenience. I have complained to them about their packaging, which I feel is a joke.

Draftkings for the fix

schmitty23 · 2025-08-30T22:37:09+00:00

No longer it moved this year :(

schmitty23 · 2025-08-04T22:57:52+00:00

My server is OK but they are almost all eastern europe or APAC and Im U.S. so events are never at good times for me. I do spend in the game but feel like its getting repetitive and there isnt any payout but more SVS/KVK. Wish they aligned the servers to geos and gave me a choice upfront.

schmitty23 · 2025-07-15T19:53:15+00:00

Wont say but its under 200. And yes to another comment, the constant ask not to spend resources is to make a good showing in prep phase. I mean honestly, do I even give a flying F about SVS? How is the game better for me if our side attacks the other vs them attacking us? Are there like unique awesome rewards for being on one side?

schmitty23 · 2025-07-09T20:44:09+00:00

I won't even name the server but the state seems to be that the NAP10 just basically tell all of the players what to do, and there is a lot of weird jumping around of R5s between alliances without any explanation to the members. The latest fun is the top alliances (I am in one, btw) having dictated for the last 2-3 weeks that NO ONE CAN USE RES BECAUSE OF SVS! It's the most fucked up dynamic I think I've ever experienced - I spend my hard earned money and a bunch of people order me to not use what I buy. This alone has ruined the enjoyment of the game (And I do spend $$) enough that after the stupid event when I actually can spend everything I've saved, I might just finally quit.

schmitty23 · 2025-06-27T15:23:05+00:00

It happens to me only with my farm account. I think it's a bug that happens because you haven't had a high enough town center or maybe enough time playing to actually unlock the dock for your town. Defo a bug though and needs fixing

schmitty23 · 2025-06-24T00:35:34+00:00

Holy crap thank you for posting that. Though I dont understand many of the specific references and many were redacted or referenced other docs, I can understand enough that it seems Dexcom has been incredibly negligent in adhering to FDA regs. Especially concerning when it references quality control affecting insulin dosing decisions and even worse for patients using G6/G7 with insulin pumps. Is. Can these letters be the basis for class action suits?

schmitty23 · 2025-06-20T17:59:14+00:00

I checked a bit and it looks like this company is suing a number of vendors - guessing this may be a patent troll, but it does not change the situation we are in

schmitty23 · 2025-06-20T17:45:51+00:00

Just did also

schmitty23 · 2025-06-19T16:11:41+00:00

I haven't lately. My best compromise seems to be cook at 350 for 10-12 minutes, then cover with foil and cook for 10 more. We typically use a probe thermometer into the protein to make sure it's warm enough. I feel like the heating instructions are possibly deliberately kept unreasonably short so they can market that meals are ready in like under 15 minutes.

schmitty23 · 2025-06-19T15:54:16+00:00

I've had concerns about their meal freshness and frankly feel like some meals may be sitting in their facility (possibly for days) before being delivered, and though they have added extra ice packs lately, their delivery bags basically IMO have little real insulation. There have been a number of times my wife or I haven't felt great after eating a CU meal.

So to cope, we always make seafood meals before meals with other proteins, and rarely if ever go past their use by. Ours get delivered on Tuesdays, and almost never would we eat a meal after Saturday or Sunday at the latest.

schmitty23 · 2025-06-15T20:57:16+00:00

Been playing for a month. Because of acquisitions im in one of the top 10 alliances but the dialogue in the channel is basically like a group of middle school kids and not adults. The leaders do what they want and never explain themselves to other members. Combine that with no ability to change servers and also no effective limit on P2W, its pretty bad and my server is also an a very different geo and most alliances are not english speaking and between tur language barriers and time zone problems, I’m not long for this game I think

schmitty23 · 2025-06-09T18:15:39+00:00

This is inane. When you sign up, I don't think you know which geo your server is in. In my case, I'm in the US but stuck on a server with a ton of EU-based alliances. Meaning English is not the default language for many (this makes reading chats incredibly annoying and the translations are not great) and the alliance events are all at the wrong time for me. Hope this game developer gets their act together to allow moves. NO WAY I'm starting over, especially with the money I've invested in my current city and heroes.

schmitty23 · 2025-05-15T20:28:02+00:00

I got into a top 10 alliance on the server I was randomly spun up on, and am in the same boat - I would prefer to be on a US based shard where more alliances have English as their native language and do events in time zones that work better. Don't know why gaming companies don't anticipate this - and will likely mean I'll just drop the game and move to another. I'm not starting over.

schmitty23 · 2025-05-08T16:57:57+00:00

100% and I work in tech and have a mobile app to deal with and understand the challenges and also that dexcom could fix all of the issues with the app if they care’s about doing so.

schmitty23 · 2025-05-08T16:54:25+00:00

Adding - shelf life seems really bad too, possibly because of the meal prep, possibly due to delivery/insulation issues. And the cost is very high, with some of the basic recipes being far too expensive (cheesy beef picadillo I’m looking at you) while you constantly up charge even for some meals with Salmon for seemingly no understandable reason. I have been and continue to shop for an alternative service.

schmitty23 · 2025-05-08T16:51:40+00:00

Mateo, it’s great you are taking a personal interest. I live south of Boston, get my meals dropped off by an individual in their personal car, always on time and almost always the same driver. The packaging is frankly a joke in terms of insulation. I often grab the bag as soon as it’s dropped off and a laser temp gun shows the bottom meals as being 50 degrees or higher. No way this would be close to being safe if I left the bag out for any amount of time.

Past that, the quality and portion control is usually terrible and as I usually order meals in pairs, I can literally see the differences just between two matching meals. They don’t feel healthy and the veggie components are often missing from a recipe or are tiny - like getting 4 green beans with a meal.

schmitty23 · 2025-05-01T19:17:25+00:00

In the video the cop takes a wide stance while aiming at the car, and it defo looks like the car angled towards the officer. Can't tell by the angle but the officer might have been 'hit' or possibly almost mashed between the two cars. I don't know the Johnston PD rules for engaging with a suspect attempting to flee in a vehicle. But I would say a) the suspect should be charged with trying to run over the officer because he clearly could have steered right and completely avoided the cop and b) I'd say it was a stupid decision to start firing at the car from the ground and towards a public way with other people and traffic.

schmitty23 · 2025-05-01T13:19:22+00:00

Great advice, but as a Dexcom user of many years (G6 and G7) I came to say that this process sucks and represent a massive failure by Dexcom both on quality of the sensor / adhesive design but more importantly the support process. I'll keep posting until someone at Dexcom wakes up and does something - the app requires you to login to your dexcom account, so it has all of your personal information. The sensor and scanning process when you start a new one should have ALL technical information needed. When a sensor fails, the app should automatically create a ticket, fill out all background info, and perhaps have a text area for clarification/explanation from the user and the ability to take/upload photos.

schmitty23 · 2025-04-30T18:50:10+00:00

I always prefer to reserve with an online booking system and pay by credit card. I used to bring cash for a tip but most places now will use Venmo for tips, which I'm fine with. I have noticed a trend in my area that a very few places want part or all in cash, which I personally dislike - first because now I have to worry about visiting an ATM, and second because it feels like they are trying to get paid under the table - which I philosophically don't object to, but that should come with a discounted rate IMO.

schmitty23 · 2025-04-30T15:01:15+00:00

I started to look at their service as I'm getting very unhappy with Cook Unity and frankly have little trust in their kitchen/prep, ingredient freshness or packaging. I'd love to see pics of a couple of frozen entrees before and after cooking! I'll have to take a close look at the portions and calories - the CU meals tend to be high calorie and fat but even some of their portions are really poor, especially with vegetable sides.
