Appreciate the tips! After the disaster ordering from that crooked vape shop last year, I’m not wanting to order from vendors I don’t know. I picked up some 18650’s from Gorilla Vapes but they were over $1 more per battery.

Then while topping off my batteries, I messed up my system of newest vs oldest that has worked for me for 6 yrs. Today is not my lucky battery day.

It would be odd for RTD to not let customers know. The message says their site is down for maintenance but it’s a very generic page. Not a branded or designed page. And their SSL lock symbol is gone, which isn’t a good sign. But I don’t know anything for sure.

A Sharpie is your friend. You just have to refresh it now and then because it rubs off.:)

I was wishing I had done that. I got it figured out but I probably need to grab a sharpie too. I just hate getting it on my hands, clothes or my mod. But I will have to learn to deal. :)

It doesn't get on anything. Just have to let it dry. Guess I should say it wares off over time. Just make a mark on each pair. (number or letter)

Bronze, in the spring last year I had them to come out. They wanted me to get an a newer modem. (ex WIFI) But the speeds before the lockdowns were fine. Most of the time the speed is doable. But I believe they are throttling my connection. It will be running fine, and then about the same time, it is like someone turned the switch off. Since DC it was running poorly. But then seemed to clear up for a few days. Now it is back to acting up. But it will run fine during the day most of the time. I did call them one night, but they always had 24 hour customer service. Now they say call back during business hours, due to that five letter word that I am sick of... I was hoping it would clear up. But it looks like I am going to have to call them again. My speed is so slow now, I cannot watch any video, or see some pics either. Most websites will not load for me at all. My computer is updated too.

Yeah, appears you're gonna have to be a squeaky wheel.

They're definitely messing with things. My phone has been acting up since Nashville.

Yes on the day of DC, I could not even find out what was going on. So then during Nashville, same thing. But since Nashville it has been awful. I had a few days where I thought, okay it is fine now. I thought they got it ironed out. But the past few days it has been horrible. So a little while ago, it was fine. We shall see how long it lasts. I also hear there are long phone waits on hold. Very little gets resolved. If you look at Down Detector you almost always see Dallas as one of the most reported cities, and usually Houston is in that group too. Out of nine cities, both are in Texas. If something effects Dallas, invariably it also effects me. So yes something is amiss alright.

Mornin All... :|

the new chemo is absolutely nasty, all of my previous broken/damaged bones are screaming... I have tried 4 times to get a Dr to reply to my questions about this med and Im getting no replies at all. Everytime I call, hes either with someone or isnt in and hes not returning calls. This stuff makes me hurt, sore, tired all the time, no appetite, even tho its a once a month injection, its initial impact is harsh... been 6 days and its just lightened up enuf I feel "perky" enuf to pop in and give yall a recent events moment...

my internet buying card ( visa debit pay n play card) decided to deny a purchase I wanted to make. I transfer about 50$ once every 6 weeks or so from the card to my Steam Game account for purchasing updates and new games to play on the computer. For some reason, the bank decided it was not my normal habit and stopped the transaction... isnt that kewl, the bank is now able to determine what I can buy and when.. has the nanny state gotten to the point it makes the decisions as to when and how people can spend thier money... I had to contact the bank who handles the card and let them know I was trying to make the purchase, and for them to drop the hold on that vendor... you would think that if the bank "feels" something is going on and it doesnt match my normal spending habits they would send me an Email that they denied the transfer asking if it is me or not making the transaction... o_O:grr:

As far as a banking nanny state... if a universal income is ever enacted... you ain’t seen nuthin yet. :facepalm:

When I bought this iPhone on my business account, my bank denied the first attempt. But at least they contacted me immediately to verify and lifted the hold so the purchase could go through.

Feel better BK. I’m sorry for the suffering you’re experiencing.

I kind of like the idea of negative interest rates and taxing the imputed rental value of the home on which you have been able to burn the mortgage. Seems fair to me, long live equality in all things.
