Takes almost no effort to grow it out here to a certain level.

So pretty sure I'll be switching to t-mobile tomorrow. Think I'm done with ATT's poo poo. I could probably call them and threaten to cancel or whatever and get my bill lowered slightly, but gently caress it.

T-mobile has a promo this month only. If you port a number you can get 20% off for the life of that account. Each employee gets 5 of these codes for the month. So I'm going to go to the local store and see who I can schmooze. That brings their one plan to $54/month.

I also saw people are selling the code on ebay for $30. Shady, but worth it in the long run.

The Military/Veteran discount for t-mobile is 15%, for reference.

Tmobile is great if you live in an urban or suburban area. If you can see corn, good luck.

Their customer service is top notch, though. I've been with them since like 2005 and haven't had a single issue.

My gf has t-mobile and she gets free poo poo every Tuesday. Like a pizza, chips and guac at chipotle, movie rental. Is that for every customer or what? Hey free poo poo.

Yeah from people I've talked to it should be good. Area is urban enough. I remember for a while they were on par with sprint aka poo poo. And sprint still does that CDMA phone poo poo like verizon lol

I know t-mobile has completely changed. How are verizon and att keeping customers? poo poo, I'll be saving $30-40 or so and I'll have tethering.

How is T-mobile in downtown areas? I know ATT is practically unusable in the city center.

Only problems I ever have with Tmobile in urban areas are when I go to like a baseball game or something but that's like 44k people all on their phones at once and it's been getting better every year. Like I said, outside of stuff like that, Tmobile only really sucks once you can see corn or soy. I lived in Decatur, Il for a couple of years and it was spotty. Back here in St. Louis, it's amazing.

Also yeah, Tmobile Tuesday app is the poo poo.

Also, their CEO is a crazy person, but like, the entertaining kind.

I had T-Mobile in downtown Denver and their coverage was complete trash, as in 1 bar no data in the densest part of the city. They were decent in Albuquerque except when you dared to go inside a building. I switched back to Verizon.

If you want the full-size prints and PDFs, the USGS has a ton of awesome maps in addition to your regular ol' 24k ones (plus map locator). If you're on your phone, check out Avenza PDF Maps, which incorporates the same map viewing and downloading functionality along with some basic overlay and GPS tools.

I'm normally a fan of USO lounges, but the lounge in El Paso is the seventh circle of hell. I'm stuck here for the next couple hours while Paternity Court plays on the TV at max volume. Everyone else here is morbidly fascinated by it, so there's no changing the channel.

Still beats listening to Fox News at the terminal gate, I guess.

I have some cheap sony ear buds that don't need to be jammed into your skull like hearing protection and magically don't fall out because my ears are normal-ish.

Just buy one of those standard sized headsets that doesn't have Beats plastered on it.

About a month and a half in with my Airpods and I love the goddamn things. They're pretty loving flawless save for a few issues I have with them.

Anyway, cool youtube channel: Binging With Babish. Guy is an amateur cook/professional filmmaker. He makes dishes from movies and tv (plus cartoons!). He's rad as gently caress and is the reason I keep jotting down new kitchen gear to buy.

I bought the insurance but I've been too lazy to take it in. The battery is starting to get pretty lovely though so I'll problably get it in before the contract is up and see how long I can go with the replacement.

Same.

Well, a ten pack for $15. Always nice to have a spare when one gets torn or covered in something.

I'd roll with a cracked screen if it came to that, but my s4 mini is a tank and the screen is still intact after three years.

I had it in my pocket when it happened. I think the factor that ended up breaking it was that I was at work and wearing my climbing harness.

PSA: military personnel can get the American Express Platinum card for no initial or annual fee. It's decent enough in general, but the real draw is travel perks. $200 a year credit for airline expenses (food/drinks on the airplane) and access to a range of airport lounges.

I'm at the Centurian Lounge in DFW. My connection is two hours delayed, but that's bearable because I have an unlimited supply of free drinks and food. I'm pretty sure I'm going to clean them out of Stella before the night is done.
