:wtf:

We pay for 60/5 Mbps at $60/mo.
I had this happen when I upgraded to a 6141. I called Comcast, told them I’d upgraded and had them basically turn me off and back on again. After I did that I went from 20 to 100+
I had to call them to get it activated at all, so that part has been done. Sometime in the new year I'll get someone out here to :dealwithit:

Gf and and I had two individual phone plans with AT&T, we're paying like $310 total, knew we could do better. My kid has an iphone 5 whose battery was dying, was going to get her something better for Christmas, was going to give her by Iphone 6S+ and upgrade. GF needed a new phone, her Samsung was shitting the bed. So we walk into the AT&T store at 11:00 a.m. We took a 2.5 hour lunch.....and left the store at 6:30 p.m.

For $30 less than we are collectively paying now per month, and additional $800 in credits, we have unlimited talk/data and text on an Iphone X for me, a Samsung 8+ for her, they gave me an Iphone 8 for free for the kiddo, with unlimited errthang, they gave us an Ipad for free with tri unlimited, and..........wait for it Brad and :millennial: nation.....a free Apple WATCH. :fullretard: :dafuq: am I gonna do with that.

Anyway, plenty of useless junk was acquired, and total bill was reduced, :notbad: I guess. 7 hours to make all that shit happen doe. :dillerman:
Good luck with that. That shit aint free. I was given a free Ipad and some phone for my sister in law. I ended up having to pay $600 for the phone and I have to keep data on the Ipad for two years. Thanks Verizon...buncha cocksuckers.

You have issues with the generic old plastic ones? I've had 5 or 6 of them since 2001 and never had a problem.

they recently changed the caps, so the old ones don't work on new bottles.

Grabbed a red Maclaren off the bookface last night for $25. :notbad: when they go for over $200 new. We wanted something a bit smaller than the jogging stroller for when we take my car places.

:scrooge: :baby: stuff.

I have no need for another one but I can tell you this one's legit. Perfect for autox/track day video gear, holds my 2 GoPro Sessions, GPS thing, OBD2 dongle, cables, etc. Good get.

I should get another one of these for my video gear. I bought one to hold all my gopro stuff for autoX and while it's great, it doesn't hold all of my stuff. I actually have a Pelican case that's got foam cutouts for my pistol, but I don't keep the gun in it.
Maybe I should re purpose it, or see what Harbor Freight's got.

Asics Lift Master Lite... I was leaning towards the Adipowers but they're expensive and I could only find white. These seem comparable and were less money plus not white. I've also had good experiences with Asics in the past.
