    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I signed up online and they mailed me the equipment first, but I got the phone in person at the Tmobile store at Wamesit Plaza on the north side of town. Super easy to install.

    Nope! No games like that with T-mobile.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I got the $50 plan as a bundle with moving my mobile service to T-mobile. With a family plan, you'll have higher costs, but here's what I'm getting: * Home Internet Plus for the price of regular Home Internet ($40) * Go5GPlus mobile ($90) with a fully subsidized Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (I am...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I did the thing, and the cord is cut. I'll see how my streaming adventure goes. Missing baseball and doorbell aren't a big deal for now. But everybody, let me tell you: do not be gaslit by Xfinity. Their speeds SUCK SO, SO, HARD. Tmobile is double the speed. No messy coax cables. Just a few...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I'm doing it. I'm finally cutting the cord. I've been waiting for the right circumstances to hit for me and it finally did. I'm getting TMobile Home Internet and moving from Google Fi to TMobile, cancelling XFinity. Including new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL costs, not including new streaming costs...

    Will you ever root for Duran again?

    Fan idiocy is a microcosm of society in general. Somehow along the way, via media (movies, TV, clips), we as humans have utterly failed, and communicated that people who purchase tickets to an athletic event have also purchased temporary licenses to hurl insults and invective at the players they...

    Duran homophobic slur fallout thread; suspended 2 games

    This isn't about politics - what we're discussing has zero legislative impact. Fundamentally, this is about being better to our fellow human beings. Honestly, it's so, so freeing to be kind and loving to people, and to unconditionally give and receive gratitude. Hate is what's childish and tiring.

    Duran homophobic slur fallout thread; suspended 2 games

    I've been on the receiving end of this word more times than I can imagine, as have you, I'm sure, and I'm interpreting your post as weariness from hearing it your entire life. I've had to perform emotional labor to remove that word from friends' vocabularies, and it worked. We suffer together...

    Duran homophobic slur fallout thread; suspended 2 games

    As a 20+ year member of this board, and as a member of the queer community, it's heartening to hear the multitude of voices condemning Duran's on-field actions, and this is a great chance for a gifted athlete in the prime of his career in the public eye to learn the power of words. There are a...

    Figure skating 2024 and beyond.

    His free skate was spectacular. But what's most impressive is he saved all three combos for the second half to maximize the point value, but also made his last element event MORE difficult. 4 lutz - 1 euler - 3 Axel? Are you kidding me? And yes, presentation is his weak spot, but he's 19 and got...

    White Sox fire Ken Williams and Rick Hahn

    Just bought the 55" Samsung s95b for BF via my Beneplace employee benefit. MSRP $2100, got it for $1015+tax. It's beyond gorgeous and I'm insanely jealous.

    Phone Locked during upgrade

    What if you changed the passcode on the old device to 4 numbers? Is it too late to back out and do that?

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    I'd be interested in hearing more after a week or so. BF is in the market for a 55-65 as well. He'll be 100% streaming, and we're looking at options. Built-in Chromecast/GoogleTV a plus, and he's got the latest dongles for AmazonFireTV and Chromecast already.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    Between that and A-Rod constantly shadowboxing the "analysts" and "front office numbers guys," I almost pine for Tim McCarver and Joe Buck. Almost.
