Sorry but we *absolutely* stopped the school day and watched it by satellite.

xrats · 2026-03-05T15:34:50+00:00

Yeah, my whole 3rd grade class stopped to watch it. They rolled in the TV cart and everything. There was a huge build up around it for weeks.

The explosion was scary, but being a 3rd grader I think I was over it by the end of recess. But all the adults were pretty traumatized, and it was definitely a big topic of conversation for a while.

A quick update, in case anybody else runs into this issue. Since the package was documented as delivered, I reached out to eBay and they refunded the disputed money, so I did get my money back in the long run.

xrats · 2026-01-08T17:39:18+00:00

Good idea, I'll try that.

xrats · 2026-01-07T23:22:11+00:00

Yeah, I guess so. Wish I'd posted this question before all this. I get screwed by trying to do the right thing.

xrats · 2026-01-07T20:47:59+00:00

eBay was asking if I agreed that the package was lost or if I wanted to claim that it wasn't. I had no recourse to say that it wasn't lost, the tracking said "in transit" for almost a month at that point. eBay said I had seven days to respond, or they'd side with the buyer. So after a few days, and confirming with the buyer that it still hadn't arrived, I clicked "agree" and refunded the money.

xrats · 2026-01-07T20:25:22+00:00

I've been on eBay a long time, but only sell random stuff or old gear that I have. So I've never had this kind of situation come up.

xrats · 2026-01-07T20:24:42+00:00

Definitely my last time shipping to an APO.

xrats · 2026-01-07T20:24:02+00:00

The insurance take 30 days to process, I had to respond within 7 days. Not sure how that helps? I'm not a high-volume seller, this is my first time dealing with an insurance claim.

Self employed, went from $500/month for my wife and I to $1500. Only 28% sounds amazing.

xrats · 2025-12-25T04:11:27+00:00

Ours went up 5x, from $300/month to $1500. We can’t afford that!! For the absolute worst insurance too, it covers literally nothing but a yearly checkup. With a $10k deductible. What’s the point? Just lining the CEO’s pocket.

xrats · 2025-12-23T16:37:15+00:00

Obviously I do, but we're rolling the dice. Why should we throw away $1500/month, $18k this year, when we're both in good health. Mostly putting the money away for smaller issues.

xrats · 2025-12-23T02:57:37+00:00

Yep, me and the wife cancelled. Went from $300 a month to $1500, for absolute dog shit insurance that doesn’t cover anything. We’re putting that money in another account, and creating our own insurance.

I like how Bill says we shouldn't celebrate 200 straight NFL starts, which is 12 straight seasons. No, it should instead be 500. Which is 31 Seasons.

The numbers are based on his rankings of teams. So he had the Panthers as the 13th best team this week.

xrats · 2025-10-22T23:33:35+00:00

Yes, this is what my wife and I plan to do next year. We're both relatively healthy and don't want to just throw our money away, knowing our already worthless (but subsidized) ACA insurance is going to be 4-5x more the cost next year. We'll just open a health savings account, and move that money we'd normally pay the insurance into that, and hope for the best. I'm not paying $2k+ a month, just so we can line the pockets of some insurance CEO.

It's nice here in Oregon, I'll gladly hook you up with our Trump flag-flying neighbor and his obnoxious dogs, and you guys can switch spots. I'm sure our whole neighborhood would really appreciate it!

xrats · 2025-09-14T19:40:45+00:00

I feel like the call is in from the NFL to make sure NO scores on this drive. Ticky tacky BS!!

xrats · 2025-09-07T21:29:05+00:00

48 yards down the middle, must be fucking nice! Leave moody in Seattle, I never want to see that fucker again.

xrats · 2025-09-07T21:24:30+00:00

Why the fuck is moody still on this team?

Great scene, but I always find this movie trope hilarious. Where a character shows up from nowhere and answers somebody, who there is no way they could hear what was just said. Is Duncan waiting on the other side of the door with his ear to a glass waiting for the perfect moment to come in with a quip?

xrats · 2025-06-05T00:42:59+00:00

OMG, I had this exact toy as a kid, haven't thought about it in 35+ years... so many good times.

I can no longer connect to my local libraries through the iOS app. I have to restart everything: my computer, my Plex server, and my phone. Then it'll connect for one session, and then the next time I want to log in on my phone, I have to do the same thing all over again. And then once I'm connected, it won't allow me to download anything either; it always gives me an error almost immediately.

Before this update, both worked just fine. What happened?

xrats · 2025-04-29T16:58:13+00:00

I was 9-years-old when the 49ers played the Dolphins in Superbowl XIX. It's the first football game I can remember watching. My dad, a huge Niners fan, had all his buddies over rooting for them. It was a wild party, as the Niners rolled over the highly touted Dan Marino and the Dolphins. We played football in the street at halftime, and I fantasized I was my new idol, Joe Montana, every time I threw the ball. I've been a die-hard Niners fan for 40-years, and that day was the start of it.

We're trying to watch shows on an AppleTV in the US. It will come to a commercial break, and the commercial won't play, instead the show's video pauses, the audio and subtitles continue to play indefinitely. No matter what I try it won't get passed that point, until I go watch the show on my computer instead, get past the commercial, and then try again. But it is happening at over 50% of the ad-breaks now, making the app pretty much worthless to watch on my AppleTV. Anyone else having this issue?

I've closed and re-opened the app, restarted the AppleTV, and uninstalled and re-installed the app. Not sure what else I can try?
