How do they get water out of lettuce???

"Would you convict someone who broke the law even if you believed the law is wrong."

NOPE!

"Excused."

"What groups and associations do you belong to?"

I list them all.

"Excused."

Etc.  Not possible for me to be on a jury.

This is another great reason to use a PMB for all of your information.  Come find me if I don't show up, good luck!

But that has always left me wondering about a jury summons from federal courts???  Anyone have any experience with them?

Wife got one a couple years ago.  We were considering traveling at the time and they basically told her "too bad."  Now, we know they wouldn't just issue a warrant for failing to appear once, so we were ready to ignore it anyway.  As it happened, they settled just before the trial and she was released.

I've always been kicked out of the pool very early on.  There's no way I'd get selected with my views on politics, the police, and most laws.  Sometimes I also pass out FIJA brochures which has resulted in being removed from the premises physically.

Got a new rep today, who instantly gave me the correct codes without further questions or issues.  I have no idea why the first was so incompetent.  I unlocked the SIM with the PUK, in the Mobley, and it let me set my own PIN.  Moved the SIM to the Netgear router, but it said the SIM was PIN locked, which is correct.  In its settings, I entered the new PIN and then told it to leave the SIM unprotected (disable SIM PIN).  This is critical.  When the device boots with a lock, it will not connect to the network, even if you enter the PIN later.  Weird, but I tested it three times.

The speed difference is INCREDIBLE.  I was getting around 6-8 Mbps on the Mobley.  Check out the Netgear...

And then ten minutes later, it all stopped working.  Now the Mobley is not working either.  Back to AT&T support I suppose.  

Do you want them all to have different channels, or the same channels on at least two?  What you're being told is probably that it only supports two channels viewed at once.  You can connect as many TVs as you want with appropriate connections and splitters.

I bought a Nighthawk.  Got on chat with AT&T support almost 45 minutes ago.  Not only do I not have the PUKs yet, they broke my account and are telling me I need a new SIM.  Made the mistake of answering honestly when he asked if I was moving it to another device.  Then they wanted to change the plan.  I'm still waiting for them to figure something out.

Ten minutes of "hold" time so far...

Person.  Average person.  There's no shortage of global stupidity.

My Mobley has never had a great connection.  Or more accurately, has never been stable with a good connection.  As we drive around, it goes from great to awful, in the same areas where we previously used AT&T phones with very good speeds.  It's simply a low performance device with limited bands.  I think I will get the Netgear everyone seems to love, and move the SIM.  I think that requires obtaining a PUK code?

People are such idiots.

I spend a lot of time around dogs, dog people, and dog rescues/advocates.  I'm 54.  I've never once heard anyone mention a yellow thing as any kind of sign for a dog.  People put all sorts of colors on their dogs in all sorts of ways.  I don't think anyone has ever considered it a signal.

well i have now started to get junk in the snail mail from aarp. (i turn 60 this month).

i have only heard aarp is just a money suck hole,  i personally do not know anybody who wants anything to do with them.

 

does any here have any good to say about them? 

have they ever paid off on any of there promises?

ever get your moneys worth from them?

or just add to the trash pile of dead trees.

i am trying to keep a open mind here, so any info is good.

I'm 54, joined early this month just to save just over $200 on glasses.  I haven't used them for anything else, and have turned off all the physical and junk mail options in my account.  We don't eat at any of the junky restaurants they have discounts for, we already have RX discounting through health plans, etc.

Carlos. Man I feel so sorry for you.

To be sure it's understood correctly, that story is not MINE, it is one I found today on an RV subreddit.  Mine wasn't as bad.  It took many months and lots of wasted time/trips, but at least my rig was mostly usable when not in the shop.

If a filter is attached to the output of a tank, it seems like it would catch more moisture since the air is already cooled, and the RH is therefore high.  Attaching it to a compressor directly seems like it would do little, because the RH of the hot air is much lower.  This is just my view of it thinking through the physics, and not something I know for sure.

Another multi-month, multi-problem Keystone nightmare:

Here's how my Viair 400 is mounted in my Jeep.  It has survived tens of thousands of miles in that environment, in the heat of AZ summer, no filter, no special care given.  And I bought it used, the guy before me had it for many years too.  Every time I go off road, I air down, and then refill afterward using a T hose arrangement I made myself so I can air up all four tires at the same time, to the same pressure.

No, they are too big to have just sitting around unused.  We plan for the trips when we need it, and for the ones we don't.  It's always possible to recharge from the tow vehicle, or even find an outdoor outlet somewhere for a while.  The only time I've wished I had it but didn't was when a battery developed a shorted cell.  That's once in decades.  If I didn't use the generator in a year, it would be gone, which is exactly what I did during the years where we always had shore power.  Now we're in the boonies a lot more, bought another since we use it.

Apple users don't seem to know that their hardware is identical to Windows hardware, except they hide the motherboard, HDD and SSD manufacturers etc.

I don't know one single Apple user who isn't totally aware of that, and doesn't know what the benefits are.

My desktop is a Hackintosh, typing on it now.  Apple seems to have given up on the desktop market, it's all overpriced and not great.  While they rule on laptops by far and obviously on mobile devices, the desktops are a ridiculous mess.

I've never heard a positive opinion on Keystone.  I guess you're the first.  With those resources, YOU should make a list too.

And why so salty and aggressive, it's just a trailer.

Every manufacturer can accidentally make a unit with no defects once in a while.  I've talked to one person with no issues on a Keystone (and only one).

Tank compressors are a different thing from tankless.  I'm not aware of any filter that will remove humidity from a portable tankless compressor without being as big as the compressor and double the cost.  The drier for my plasma torch is big and expensive.

I've never used a filter on the portable and have never noticed any change between its air and the very filtered air I have in my home shop.  I refill the Jeep tires pretty regularly since it's off road a lot.

Lately I've been dumping the non-Apple stuff for the most part.  I'm really tired of dealing with stuff that takes way too much effort to set up (Google Home) and on occasion, stops working because the companies had a fight (Alexa and Chamberlain).  Meanwhile the Homekit stuff just works instantly, and keeps working.

I did recently build a Hackintosh.  MacOS is still far less problematic than Windows, and although I use Linux on all of our company's servers, it's not really a great seamless desktop experience for heavy usage.  The way MacOS seamlessly works with all devices (desktop, laptop, iPad, iPhone) is unmatched.  There simply are no options for the extreme integration they offer.  Some people may not need and use it, but I do, all day.  But Apple has really lost their way on desktops.  They are an easy and clear winner on laptops, but the desktops are just stupid.  So I use generic PC hardware to build a Mac Pro equivalent at 1/3 the price, put MacOS on it, and have the best of both worlds.

I've worked in technology my whole adult life, since 1983-ish.  I still enjoy just screwing around with things that don't work quite right, and making them work, or dealing with issues.  But during my workday I'm no longer interested in battling with tech.  And when I'm out and about doing my personal errands I have no room for things that aren't working 100% with ALL of my data on all devices all of the time.  This is what's driven me away from Androids, Windows, and Linux, after years trying to use them all.

Carlos, I will try to never put a link on here for a good deal. I would very hurt too be treated the way this guy is getting treated.

Glenn, I missed your post before and it deserves a thoughtful reply.  You're an RVer, active on multiple forums, and participating in general discussions of all types.  Do you not see how that's different from a guy with no RV, and no participation, who only shows up just to post a link where he gets paid, and which offers nothing you can't just go find on your own directly on eBay?  The link he posted doesn't go to eBay, it goes to saleturbo . com, which just has affiliate links to the same searches you can do yourself on eBay.

I'm an admin on a couple of forums, and a mod on two Reddit subs.  We depend on users calling out spammers like this so we can deal with them, and it's a daily task.
