Re: Anyone using AdGuard? - 8 days ago

Quotemacphanatic Got a really good offer for lifetime family plan. Leary about the lifetime part, but the price is seems good at under $40 for up to 9 devices. Wondering if anyone has any experience with it. If this is the deal on Stacksocial, use code FAMPLAN to bring it down to 15.97. Saw this last month and it still applies now.

Re: Severance fan poll - no spoilers - 4 weeks ago

The show is a slow burn and I had a hard time getting through season 1, but season 2 is better. I'll continue with S3 since I have Apple TV+ free with TMobile. I prefer Silo on Apple TV+.

Re: T-Mobile price increase - 6 weeks ago

I received the price increase text also. Supposedly if you have a price lock guarantee you won't see an increase, but nothing is forever. So much for calling themselves the "Un-carrier". Once the stipulations of the Sprint merger ended, T-Mobile started becoming like AT&T and Verizon.

Re: When everything's meant to be broken.... now Southwest - 6 weeks ago

While domestic airlines have been doing away with expiration of award miles, Southwest is joining American, Frontier, and Spirit as ones whose miles will expire. Add that to seat assignments, bag fee charges, Southwest won't stand out anymore. I last liked Southwest over 10 yrs ago but I only use them for short hauls. They have very little perks for long flights. Their fares aren't low like they

Re: Cauliflower Crust, anybody find a good one that is widely available? - 6 weeks ago

I don't know where to get cauliflower crust but Costco sells frozen Milton's cauliflower crust pizzas and also ones from their own brand, Kirkland. I've only had Milton's and it was fine. I'm not a fan of frozen pizzas in general.

Re: New (to me) scam - toll roads - 2 months ago

I had one of the toll road scam texts this morning and it's been a couple of decades since I was on a toll road. A couple of months ago I was in the San Francisco Bay Area briefly, didn't cross any bridges or saw any toll lanes, but I received a FasTrack phishing text. Big Brother is watching.

No, Costco doesn't sell eggs by the dozen, otherwise I would buy it from there. I wonder if people who spend 5.00 or 6.00 on a Starbucks coffee drink moan about the price of eggs.

Re: iOS 18 Power Off Button - 6 months ago

The power off button should be in color. One thing I like most about IOS 18 is the ability to lock and/or hide individual apps with Face ID or Touch ID. But it doesn't work with Settings, Contacts, or Maps. I also like the Hide Distracting Items in IOS Safari though I wish you could make them disappear permanently so they won't show up the next time you're on the same site. Passkeys is great, and

Used to be where you can subscribe for 36 months. They did merge with Surf Shark but are still separate entities. As for PIA, the company that

Re: crack in the world?!…..Costco further cracking down on membership card sharing…… - 8 months ago

They've already been scanning membership cards at the entrance of the Costco I go to sometimes. Membership isn't required to get prescriptions but a membership will give you lower prices on them, and can be even lower than with insurance, in my case.

QuoteRAMd®d Hm. Costco's site shows a $99 battery for my car. It doesn't mention if that includes installation, which is a DIY walk in the park, but then I have to take the battery back for the core charge. AAA wanted ~$235, installed. Other places wanted at least $200 up. This seems pretty cheap for a battery these days. This is a flooded battery. There are AGM car batter

Re: Caitlyn Clark shove - race or jealousy? - 10 months ago

That hit on Caitlin (correct spelling) was upgraded to a flagrant 1 call which it should have been in the beginning. Carter has had a rep and was out of the league after being let go from other teams, partly because of conduct. She tried to fight a teammate on one team. Carter is generating publicity for herself. She says all Caitlin does is shoot 3-pointers which is stupid. If it was Angel Reese
