turkey roll -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 08:11
This having-a-day-off-but-the-kids-don’t thing is messing with my head. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 23, 07:59 1
- kids have tomorrow off here. -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 08:10
I don't understand the battery in my iPhone since iOS 11. - Dano Nov 23, 07:38 8
- My wife's phone did that for a bit on 10. A full factory reset and setting up as a new phone fixed it. - spamlet Nov 23, 09:56 1
  - This happens with the ipod touches at work as well. -- nm - Qale Nov 23, 10:01
- My 6s has been horrible lately for drops like that. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 08:10
- I had that problem with my old 5c, I think it was because the battery was failing. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 23, 08:03
- Hmm. My wife’s 6+ has been having battery issues since the upgrade, but nothing that weird. Just can’t hold a charge. - Beryllium Nov 23, 07:57 3
  - If the battery had been in single digit or teens % when I plugged it in at least it would have made sense -- nm - Dano Nov 23, 08:04 2
    - did you have other apps open maybe? - Beaker Nov 23, 08:07 1
      - I had music playing and opened Runkeeper. That was it. -- nm - Dano Nov 23, 08:34
Legal ruling adds intrigue to NCAA concussion settlement -- (link) - Beaker Nov 23, 07:36
*checks Koodo for BF promos* Ha, no thanks. To be fair, we have pretty solid grandfathered plans, so something quite remarkable would need to be there -- nm - Shaun Nov 23, 07:30 2
- This is were I'm at as well, I currently have unlimited everything with 6.5gb data for 58 bucks. - J Nov 23, 07:39 1
  - We got phones last June and we were able to keep our plans, since they were higher than $40. YMMV of course. They have this phone on a decent promo. -- (link) - Shaun Nov 23, 07:51
Also just bought an ugly Christmas t-shirt. -- (link) - Shaun Nov 23, 07:07 2
- T-shirt? I missed that part of your post. This is a weird board. -- nm - Krusty Nov 23, 07:22
- hideous. -- nm - mud Nov 23, 07:13
Google Home Mini ordered. -- nm - Shaun Nov 23, 06:48 15
- Same here -- nm - J Nov 23, 07:01
- Google Home Mini - on my desk! - Andie Nov 23, 06:54 13
  - Google Home Mini - not wanted in mudville. -- nm - mud Nov 23, 07:02 10
    - All i will use it for is timers, and asking questions, weather, schedule etc. - Andie Nov 23, 07:05 8
      - So far about half my questions are "Ok google, what's the temperature outside?" as I walk towards the front door. -- nm - Ender Nov 23, 08:47
      - (I swear, my favourite use will be for Dave to ask it sports scores so he stops turning off whatever I'm watching to 'check the score.') -- nm - Andie Nov 23, 07:06 6
        
        I'm not even entirely sure what I'll use it for. It could be humourous to see what happens when a 3-year old decides to try it. -- nm* - Shaun Nov 23, 07:24 2
        
        The chromecast control through Home is where I'll use it most. Movies Anywhere seems to work best through Google for Canadians -- nm - J Nov 23, 07:52 1
        
        I do have an actual Chromecast (not hooked up) but I'm hoping it can control the Mibox, since it has Chromecast built in. -- nm* - Shaun Nov 23, 07:53
        
        ha! -- nm - prayformojo Nov 23, 07:14

  - Ooo what store? I'm going to check SDM on Saturday for one (because they are stupid and flyer stuff goes live Saturday for some reason). - Shaun Nov 23, 07:02 1
    - The Source -- nm - Andie Nov 23, 07:04
Explosion heard in area of missing Argentine submarine -- (link) - zork Nov 23, 06:35
The mall I'm in has a 'Fashion Santa' (and a regular Santa for kids), the new FS isn't nearly as good as the old one. Pics! - Andie Nov 23, 06:31 3
- boooooo! -- nm - mud Nov 23, 07:15
- That's weird. I'm not completely against it but it's weird to me. - Krusty Nov 23, 06:47 1
  - oh, it's pretty weird. They've been doing it for about 5 years though, so it obviously works. - Andie Nov 23, 07:13
Elf needs coffee badly. -- nm - Amanda Nov 23, 06:21 2

  - how cold is it? I'd probably wait. (space heaters? fire place?) -- nm - Andie Nov 23, 06:22 1
    - it's not bad inside now....66F, but it's in the 30s outside. Can't burn the fireplace, no space heaters -- nm - prayformojo Nov 23, 06:23
It's obviously heel vs heel in many eyes, but the idea of Peter Thiel trying to buy Gawker.com is true salt the earth tactics. -- nm - Qale Nov 23, 05:25
$90 back on the laptop purchase thanks to EBates. Puts me over $400 since I signed up last year - Beaker Nov 23, 04:30 4
- Ebates is decent. I prefer Swagbucks though. Lets you redeem points for various giftcards as opposed to getting a quarterly cashout. - Shaun Nov 23, 06:50 3
  - still is. run by the same company? wondering if the percentage rebates are similar or vary -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 06:56 2
    - It depends. The SB return values vary from time to time just like ebates. - Shaun Nov 23, 07:23
    - 8% back from Dell was nice, wife also gets 5% off through her work, so was even better -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 07:04
Do Amazon do like a price back thing if they lower the price before your order ships? -- nm - Karl_S Nov 23, 04:29 3
- Some stores will even do that up to a few weeks after you buy it. Maybe amazon too? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 23, 07:58
- they should yes. message them, I've done it before and they usually credit back the difference lickity split - Beaker Nov 23, 04:31 1
  - Thanks - Karl_S Nov 23, 04:37

- Wichita St is going to be a force come NCAA Tourney. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 23, 03:57 1
  - They're going to be very good this year, early losses don't mean much. I expect to see them in the Sweet 16. -- nm - Krusty Nov 23, 05:53
- Nice!My Buffs won in a similar fashion a few days ago at a tourney--down by 11 with a few minutes left, then by 4 with 30 sec left. Won on a '3' that - Flavorize Nov 22, 23:13
nmb RC & Bery - peglegpete Nov 22, 21:49 3
- This is the best thing ever. At least since Ultimate Paperclips. -- nm - ReluctCynic at home Nov 22, 21:54
- *snicker* Yeah, I noticed that. Left it in, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 22, 21:51 1
  - *****HUG***** -- nm - peglegpete Nov 22, 22:19

    - Bery needs to give us blue checkmarks! -- nm - Bacon Nov 22, 20:46 2
      - Well, if we ever try to pivot the forum to be more open and inviting, that might come to pass. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 22, 20:54 1
        
        Me and Qale would be the last two without checkmarks. -- nm - Mop Nov 22, 21:05
