Shifting most use to mobile and the sheer quantity of spam calls has caused my family to systematically get rid of those. Yup, 99% of the calls that came in on our landline were spam, so we finally killed it. Yes, 99%, that's not an exaggeration. Ok, maybe more like 95% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I dropped my land line in 2008 and never missed it. Dropped cable the same year. The savings on those two bills alone make a cell phone a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaja Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Just had photos for the engineering club at my school; we're near an airbase. The planes were like 200' above us directly and doing dives and barrel rolls. I swear they were showing off.(They train daily here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on FF for almost a decade, even through the "sluggish" times. Never had a complaint. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommended Here too. I have Chrome installed (though don't log in to it. Never saw the benefit) but only need it on those rare occasions where I need a "fresh" browser connection to test something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicTech Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Started learning Morse code with this puppy a few days ago; I'm actually not doing half bad on the sending! Neat pic of my radio/practice oscillator! More pics found here: https://www.qrz.com/db/KI5UXW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Today installed Waterfox (from https://www.waterfox.net/) instead of Firefox, who has sold its soul to all bad powers. So far, feels much better. It keeps using the Gecko engine from the good old Mozilla Firefox, instead of this ugly, voracious, disgusting Quantum (may everything in its authors' life run exactly as this Quantum runs! I mean, they can optimize their life, just in case.) AdBlock, NoScript, and (some freeloader downloader) plugins work ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicTech Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I fixed my Apple Earpod's lack of bass by wrapping a rubber band (specificallty, the ones that I can use for my braces) around the call button. Weird, innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbalsaurus Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I got an email on the NASA newsletter or whatever it's called saying "ASTRONAUTS WANTED". I'm afraid of heights and nowhere near college yet, think they'll take me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaja Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I found out about a game in development called Dino blade. It's dinosaurs with swords. DINOSAURS WITH SWORDS.

It made big news. So go ahead and give it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to church this morning, did our volunteer time, then came home and watched our kids hunt for Easter candy. Now I'm sitting here relaxing on the couch with a cup of coffee.
