I had shingles 20 years ago, on my back. Awful experience. I put them level with kidney stones in suckiness

Investing, Stock Market and Retirement Planning Thread

A few months ago, PNC sent out emails that they were dropping 3rd party aggregators as well. I guess they had a lot of complaints as they reversed the decision, but them even thinking of dropping them made me move away from them.

This **** is getting annoying. For sports, I watch hockey, that's about it. I have no interest in this conglomerate of sports channels, and I'm sure not paying more than what I'm paying for ESPN+.

Do you have local income tax as well? Connecticut did not have local income taxes, but had the yearly vehicular property tax. If you had a crappy car, then it worked out well.

NTP66's thread of IT

Spent most of Saturday setting up the AX86U router. I've been using the AC56U since May 2015 and I was a dummy and named the SSID the model of the router, so I renamed the SSID on the new router. Boy does that suck when you have smart devices. Some of them were pretty easy, Nest Gen 3 Thermostat and...

I would switch to uBlock origin. I briefly switched to Firefox, but didn't like it. Lots of weird glitchiness loading pages, no easy way to separate my work Google login and personal , and just felt slower. Currently, uBlock is working with Chrome as intended, but if Google does shut it down as exp...

yeah, I have built my own desktop PCs since then. I think the Pentium II was the first CPU I used in my own build, and it was that weird vertical design CPU.

Yep, Gateway 2000 was the first PC I bought for myself, in 1996. I believe it was an original Pentium CPU too. I "upgraded" to the 17" monitor, where the depth of the monitor was at least twice the size of the screen plus front bezel. Fun times carrying that around.

The NordVPN/ESPN+ route is pretty painless if the NordVPN (or whatever VPN provider you choose) has an app available for your platform. The ShieldTVs are Android based, so the play store (and side loading if needed) are available to me. I was using a different VPN provider at one point, but ESPN+ st...

Ok, ok. All may not be lost for Warrior. Deadline is reporting that the show might get new episodes if it does well on Netflix. Actors are out of contracts though, so that might be the next hurdle. https://www.ign.com/articles/warrior-canceled-after-three-seasons-on-max-but-netflix-could-save-the-d...
