Re: Today was my day to call Sirius about my yearly subscription. - 5 months ago

Mine comes out to $7.86/month. I called (will definitely try the chat feature next time), and they told me they couldn't do the same package (or maybe packages had changed), but the new one ("Music and Entertainment," I believe) had all the same channels and included streaming (which I've used most every day since it was first made available as part of the standard packages a year or t

Re: Not "sold" on buying an Instant Pot, but, sure sold on ONE feature! Yogurt! - 6 months ago

I have a 6 Qt. Instant Pot with the yogurt setting, and make a batch about once a week, and have for the last couple years now. One additional thing of note, is that you really only need to use store-bought yogurt as your starter the very first time. After that, just set aside a couple tablespoons of the last batch to user as starter in the next. I have this strainer, which I use to turn the

Happy Birthday to DealMac!!!! - 1 year ago

Twenty-four years ago today, the DealMac forums were founded! Yes, that means it was 1997. For those who don't know, the MacResource forums really stemmed from the DealMac forums, as DealMac made a decision to totally restructure their forums, and a ton of the regulars at the forum didn't like it, so MacResource created this forum, which was more along the lines of the original DealMac forum

Re: Resistance bands $6 shipped YOU FOOLS! $6 folks, do it. - 1 year ago

pRICE, do you actually have this exact set? I've had my eye on getting some, but almost always, there are reviews (often with somewhat unpleasant pictures) in which the reviewer says the band snapped, and smacked them on the body somewhere. The set you linked doesn't have any reviews, so I'm even more leery of them. I realize any set--particularly at the sub-$20 price range--is likely to be

Re: Well, Sirius sucked me in. - 1 year ago

I've been a subscriber since I bought my new (used) car in 2018. I pay roughly $5/month, and always put a couple weeks worth of reminders on my calendar to call them to get the same deal, and I always have thus far (three renewals, I think). I listen in my car every time I drive, and also stream it on my computer and iPhone and iPad. My favorites are: 70s on 7 80s on 8 The Bridge Yacht

Re: The value of Live Photos is not now, it's later - 1 year ago

Beautiful memories. Not sure how many of you caught wind of the "MyHeritage.com" animated photo thing that kind of went viral this past weekend. You have to create an account, and you're limited to 5 animations before you have to pay, but it will take any faces it finds in a photo (has to be 300x300 or greater resolution), and "animate" them. It can be a bit creepy, and i

Re: Yacht Rock on The Family Guy - 1 year ago

Duuuuude!!! Yacht Rock Radio on Sirius XM is my #1 favorite! (Really, it is!) I love the mellow, peaceful, "love is the answer, but it almost inevitably leads to heartbreak" music. I am a child of the 70s, so perhaps it was the subliminal soundtrack to my youth, but like the song says, "moonlight.....feels right!"

Re: Tiger Woods injured in rollover car crash, extracted with 'Jaws of Life' - 1 year ago

Since he's recovering from back surgery, my first thought was that either a medication he may be taking for the back surgery recovery, or that in combination with some other substance may have contributed to this.

Re: PSA: Got two bucks?? Lotteries gone nutz! - 1 year ago

Do *any* states allow buying lottery tickets online? If so, I never knew. I will say that as I passed a scratch off lottery ticket dispenser at the grocery store a couple days ago, I had a passing thought to buy one for a buck to give to my daughter, but I didn't have any cash (as is typically the case). They need to make those machines accept Apple Pay (and credit cards). Maybe they alread
