Zero!

 

1. Rich enough to pay off just the 5 day tickets (military rate) and one churro at Walt Disney World. We get paid again if they air variations of it (which more footage was shot) or if it airs any other year.

2. I did not... I'm in Korea myself through November. I'm actually FaceTiming them when my kid runs up to the phone.

3. We were there a decade ago when my Army career started and just moved back last summer. At least there's a Target and Jack in the Box there now.

We'd always go down there for Target, Best Buy and JITB last time we were there. Now my wife and kids are there quite often due to my oldest doing shows with the Wichita theater (just closed Beauty and the Beast there). I saw Artist Vs Poet and Forever The Sickest Kids in WF years ago.

 

Artist Vs Poet brings back memories for sure even though I wasn't living in the area when they were blowing up.

I grew up in and my whole family practically still lives in or around Jacksboro if you've ever heard of/ventured further south of Wichita. Don't know why you'd want to though lol there's literally nothing there but meth

 

anyone have a recommendation for fitness tracker?

I just really want something that will count my steps / do basic heartrate stuff I don't need anything super fancy. Have a fitbit that is several years old at this point and the screen is cracked and the battery life isn't great any more so I'm thinking of replacing it. But nothing seems to have good battery life these days. my fitbit when I got it could get like six days, now its more like four days, but everything I look at seems to suggest even getting five days is a lot. how hard is it to just make something that'll last a week?

WTF

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for a wifi mesh system? I've been looking at the Eero 6 and the Nighthawk MK63S. I need a 3 pack of whatever system I get with at least 1 ethernet port on each router/satellite.

From what I gather Eero doesn't have a web gui to manage your network which is kind of almost a dealbreaker but the price is nice lol. Open to other suggestions as well those are just the ones I've looked at the most

 

Anyone know of any decent online resources detailing how to rip dvds to plex? I’m completely inept with this stuff and haven’t found any decent instructions.

 

Torrents

 

But then it feels like years of purchasing dvds was all for nothing! Lol .. figured that would be the answer

 

I know there’s ways to do it with Chrome extensions and whatnot, but is there another way I can add things from other websites to an Amazon wish list from my phone?

 

Twitter crashing for anyone else like crazy right now?

 

Twitter is acting up with intermittent error messages and notifications that won’t load

 

Think this new platform has any chance to grow some legs? Or did it miss its window of opportunity? Seems like the Mastodon buzz has already started to fade.

Who would think that fewer people will buy chips when a single chips matches the price of a full desktop?

 

.......can there be an Android thread.

We exist.

I promise.

 

I would love one but I feel like nobody would post in it heh.

 

I would post everyday

 

I would all the time.

Saaaame. I stay on 9to5google and Android police all day. Follow news daily, would love to have our own place haha.

 

Be the change the want to see

 

I'm stoked for this. Love the themed icons but the amount of icons I have that DON'T change makes it look off so I stick with regular icons.

Also another sale on pixel 7 and the pro. Not as good as the Black Friday deals because the trade in value for other phones has tanked, but it's still a sale. Been loving my 7, haven't had any complaints.

 

How's battery life on it? That seems to be the only negative thing I've heard. I'm between waiting on a USB-C iPhone or the Pixel 7 Pro. Samsung has too many issues
