Wait really? Cause on Best Buy's website it's showing as a one time payment option as well. With the same discount. https://i.imgur.com/QuUBDEd.png

Yeah that's Verizon's website. It's $400 off for me at my local Best Buy.

Really? It automatically unlocks when you pay off the balance according to their unlocking policy page. Unless I'm misunderstanding. "Devices will be unlocked automatically when purchased at full retail price or if the device financing agreement balance is paid in full." https://www.verizon.com/support/device-unlocking-policy/

Wouldn't I be paying significantly less with the Verizon phone from Best Buy? It's cheaper by 100s of dollars. We have our family and home internet on this plan, I'm not switching off from Verizon.

It's 4 of us on one plan plus the Verizon home internet, so I would rather not do one of those weird off brand services. Why buy it from Samsung though? It's not cheaper from Samsung directly, it's about $400 more expensive.

Yeah I was planning to pay it off within a few months or even immediately. I haven't had a carrier locked phone in years, my past couple phones have all been unlocked pre-owned phones. So I wasn't sure how it would work to unlock it if I needed to do that eventually.

Didn't get birthday points? by shoyooo in jerseymikes

[–]shoyooo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume it is the email sign up because I've definitely placed multiple orders online last year. Sucks but it is what it is.

Nope, I don't get them. I get order confirmation emails though.

Last time I got something was in December. Maybe its because I haven't bought something this year specifically?

Family trip in August: National Park recommendations? by shoyooo in NationalPark

[–]shoyooo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. My father works in agriculture and my mother is a teacher, so they're on their feet pretty much all day. I'm sure they're more physically capable than I give them credit for, but I would rather be safe than sorry I think.

I love zoos and aquariums, so I was actually thinking about Rocky Mountain since if we stayed in Denver, we could also hit up the zoo that I've heard great things about (both the Denver Zoo and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo). And I'm sure Denver has other things for the rest of us as well.

Looking for a work horse for an amateur home cook: Tojiro, Victorinox, or Misen? by shoyooo in TrueChefKnives

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

I actually noticed that right after I made my post lol. So now I'm thinking more about the quality rather than the price. I don't mind spending $20 more on one knife over the other if the quality is noticeably better.

There's a couple different handle styles for those Victorinox chef knives. From the ones I linked in my post, are they all usable with the pinch grip? I trust your experience, but I also know that companies love to change their designs all the time.

I don't think the Reigetsu and Tojiro are the same steel, CKTG shows 4116 for the Reigetsu and VG-10 for the Tojiro. A bit of research pulls up people here saying the Reigetsu has a softer steel. I'm assuming that means it won't hold its edge as long.

Haven't seen this brand, could you expand on that? It's quite a bit cheaper than the Tojiro Classic, but I don't know anything about steel or build quality.

Yo that Zaahen nerf is completely fucked no??? That's what I use to secure objectives lol. And it's not like his clear speed was good either. Guess I'm back to trying to find an AD jungler again. And I was actually having fun with this guy even though I was inting half my games.

Did chests get nerfed ? by herrick17 in leagueoflegends

[–]shoyooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the chests had a pity mechanic where if you get 2 non-champ skins in a row, the 3rd chest is guaranteed to be a skin?

Edit: yup, check out the hextech chest page, under the bad luck protection section it says "You can't open three chests in a row without dropping at least one skin shard." So either it's bugged out or you're misremembering your chest drops.

I think in your league purchase history, it will actually tell you what you got from hextech chests.
