web you have adblock unless they get on youtube levels of trying to block it. what if you pay for mobile? would that include web ad free or they really trying to charge you like $20 for both?

they already make billions off ad revenue. really doubt many in the states would pay for it. i already just browse it a few times a day. usually when i'm bored at work. other than that it's mainly just for messenger. definitely wouldn't pay for it.

this. there's already so many out there for free.

really youtube just needs to up it's game. make it cheaper and actually put exclusive shoes people want to see on it. i don't even know if they still do anything exclusive anymore. cobra kai was the only thing i ever did watch on it and know they had some pewdiepie show before. but as far as i know now it's legit only to get ad free.

Topicis 128GB on phones worth it nowadays?
creativeme
11/13/23 4:18:16 PM
#31
obviously depends on the person. for a lot 128gb is fine if they don't do much with the phone but text/call/internet.

i have 512gb on my phone and used up 270gb of it in the 2ish years i've had it. so 256gb wouldn't be enough for me. i went to the metallica concert last night and a 3.5 minute vid i took is 500mb itself. so 4k video definitely eats up space quick. 4k pics if you take A LOT will eat up space a lot too. if you pay for the cloud it's not really an issue since you can just transfer to that and free up space but i never been a fan of the cloud and prefer to just keep my own hard backups which i have cleaned off the majority of the pics/vids on this phone a few times already. honestly if i kept everything i've ever had on this phone including games and other apps and just never deleted anything i'm sure my phone would have been completely full awhile ago.

You do not get punished for the crime

that makes it so much easier to say yes. honestly surprised nearly 25% say no. like i get the conscious of committing murder or something would be hard to live with but chances of getting a crime that bad when there's millions of different crimes is pretty rare. most aren't all that bad and majority of crimes even if you get caught don't have any jail time.

i got "copyright matters"

which probably everyone here has committed already.

how old is the battery? if it's the original then definitely time for a new one. you can get tools to test the capacity and even being "charged" it's probably still a good bit weaker than it should be. my last car i had 6 years and never had any problems with the battery. so not really sure how long batteries last nowadays. my car before i had 9 years and know i replaced the battery at least once. maybe twice.

switch U

lmfao

i was gonna say switch up

and the ultra switch is honestly almost as bad as the wii u name. people will think it's just like a switch pro and not a real console and it'll sell like crap again. especially if it looks basically the same as the switch. even if they turn it into a large 3ds switch thing like the patent.

it really should just be a switch 2 and backwards compatible with the switch. for once they should just keep things simple and keep riding the switch name instead of a drastic change. all of us only expect it to be about as powerful as the ps4 which should probably keep it around the $300 price point. i know we'd all like a console on par with modern ones but nintendo has shown they haven't cared about that since the GC days.

The only felonies that should bar you from voting are crimes related to voting. For everything else, voting rights should be reinstated the moment you step out of prison.

yea i agree. i still don't understand why a felon isn't allowed to vote. if you want them to wait like 5 years to make sure they'll probably stay out of prison then fine but no reason someone that commits a felon as a teen and gets out after a couple years should never be allowed to vote.

hard to say till we find out what the plan is for the company that bought it.

i put it in the 5-10 range. i think most social boards will be gone in the next few years. i think it'll mostly just be the game boards and then like CE, sports and a few other special interest boards with a lot getting grouped together. possibly old obscure systems just getting a general board instead of each game having it's own board.

now i only see the active users fluctuate around 1k during the day. hard to find any info of active user history but i remember it always being like 3k like 5? maybe 10 years ago.

only info i see on wikipedia

GameFAQs has been positively reviewed by The Guardian,[2][3][4] The Canadian Press,[5] and Entertainment Weekly.[6] In 2009, GameFAQs.com was one of the 300 highest-trafficked English-language websites according to Alexa.[7]

The custom-made GameFAQs Message Boards coded by Veasey began operation on November 7, 1999.[69] Although the original purpose of the board system was to facilitate game discussion, other board categories have been added since the boards opened. Every day, approximately 20,000 topics and 200,000 messages are posted on GameFAQs' 60,000+ individual boards,[70] and on November 7, 2006, there were more than 100,000 accounts actively in use.[71] During October 2009, there was an average of 84,853 unique logins a day.[72]

like the total order is under $5? or your cut is under $5? cause delivery fee itself will put most orders over $5.

it seems like a job you should build your schedule around. like work the lunch and dinner rush hours each day. especially on weekends. definitely location is a big part of it.

the GPS on it does seem like it sucks. i know i've had a few people have to call me cause the GPS was off. definitely seems like you should just use your phones GPS instead of the apps but not sure if you're required to keep the app running the whole time or if you can switch to different screens.

definitely seems like more of a job for some extra money and not to be your main job. like if it's a stay at home parent and they do the lunch rush while kids are in school. then go pick up the kids and go home till the other parent gets home and then go back out for the dinner rush. do that like 5 hours a day and maybe it's worth the gas and wear and tear on the car but would need something fuel efficient either way.

doctor shortage is a big part of that. so many are retiring from old age and not enough people want to put in the time to become a doctor anymore. a 2 month wait for new patients is pretty standard though. i would just keep the appointment with him and the new one you got. maybe just go to both for the 1st year if you can afford it(insurance might not want to pay for 2 though).

but could try the new one till december and see how you feel about it. if you think it's fine then cancel the appointment with the december one.
