LGK5t Android phone not so bad once get use to it  This is actually not a bad phone at all for a Android. I recently got rid of old phone, prepaid plan from the now out of business 'Virgin Mobile', which 'Boost mobile' then bought out. My old LG phone was OK, but this one is larger, but no 'pen'...I do miss that pin feature to be honest, but other than that new phone is decent, and about half a inch longer or taller than previous LG phone, which does matter, just feels like you have more room on screen. But on this new phone everything is 'slide'...and still not sure how to close out a 'window'...but you just slide it upward and it goes back to app icon...whatever..it works. Last phone had 'bugs'...it was a old phone though. Was going to pay $500 plus for newer lower end Apple phone, but sales lady kind of talked me out of it and said for my needs the LG would do just fine, and you know what, I think she was right.

I hate new printers that require wifi or eprint BS
I just like, miss, old printer that you plug into computer and print, no freagin wifi or eprint BS needed, these tech companies so gdm noisy they even want to know what you print so can marked crap I guess.
I just miss not having to 'be online' or hooked into wifi to operate a simple printer!

I have new computer now, new printer, new extra screen or monitor to go with new computer, new cell phone and well, I don't know.
I like new computer, it's very quick, cause it has no moving parts, no disc player, nothing moves inside of it, no 'engine' sound...sales person told me it was the way to go...but if knew didn't have DVD player I doubt I would of bought it, stupid me just assumed it did.
Not going to name brand or anything yet, for privacy reasons, but maybe I will later.
But will say it operates very fast, and partly cause obviously it's new and not mired down with over 8 years or so of 'gunk'.
It has other features as well that I have not tapped into, like being able to run it or access it from my cell phone...not sure if I like that though.
I'm a bit old school, and as such I prefer to keep devices segregated from one another, that way if one device hacked, they don't automatically have access to everything else.
But then again, it would be nice to be able to access home computer from anywhere, print from anywhere, and ect.
I kind of envy those who totally embrace today's new tech, I'm sure their lives are way more convient than mine.
But I'm just not wired that way, I was raised around back country mountain men or Prairie land types from the Pacific NW, and these types were like 'Outlaws', and paranoid always of intrusion, so some of that way of thinking has rubbed off on me to.
That aside, new computer operating above expectation, and even also got VPN again, should I need it.
Having to go back and re-order a lot of stuff, cause when try to sign in using new computer, sites don't recognize and I don't have hours to waste on the phone on hold trying to convince them it's 'me'...so I'm just starting over again from scratch.

Seems to me, old technology the best, before 'China' had a chance to inject their tenticals into everything.
I have older flip phones from years ago, when life still simple, so rather than buy new one, after reading reviews, may just try to reactivate old ones or one, before China had a chance to infect them with tracking 'you' bs.

Heck, may even try to sell older flip phones for as high as $1000.00's, why not, you'd be surprised what some people would pay for privacy.

It saddens me that white people, who use to be so racist, now selling their nation out to China, or anyone else who waves the most dollar bills.

Air fryers are OK, I cooked some potatoes in one yesterday, the came out tasting like cardboard, cause there's no oil or grease with these air fryers.

20 inch box fan review 20 inch box fan review that I bought at CVN, drug store (or what we use to call them), I get pharmacy center is more correct now days. Anyways, bought this fan about 14 days ago or so after one I've had for years, and near ran around the clock, finally passed on. I'm the type that just needs the sound of a fan running all the time, to block out background noises, and must say this fan is good for that. I paid under 40 for it, maybe $34.00? Well I'm here to say I'm happy with it so far, it runs steady, a bit louder than my last circular fan I had, but that's fan, cause like I said I like the sound of rushing air, like a water fall or something. It blows a strong stream of air as well, I never have to turn it above '1'...(has 3 speeds), but one is powerful enough for me. I actually bought 2 of them and glad I did in that seems as of late everything decent is selling out. Anyways, it's a decent steady fan, and so far does the trick just fine. I would recommend this product if looking for a simple type of old school fan, it does have 5 blades though, and probably why able to push air through so powerfully. Anyways, with summer coming up, that this might help some. The brand? Entertek, a kind of generic made in China brand I guess, but it does the job well. This is a good fan, it still works perfectly, now I want to go get another one, but last time I did, they only came in all white, and was a different brand, but I like this here black colored brand the best. I like having fans blowing all over my place, it's really relaxing, the ambient sound of the fans blowing just blocks out all background noise...and keeps the air moving, thus keeps the air smelling nice and fresh. I think I'll go get another fan, heck, I have nothing better to do. |

I think life is about being comfortable 'now', or in the 'now', instead of always feeling must sacrifice comfort now for better times that may never come in the future
Ye, when poor, many of us are conditioned to always save for tomorrow, as if tomorrow is garunteed.
But now, now that a bit older, can already feel the effects of age on my body, I'm like why should I assume that when older, things will be good, or that I'll even be alive, or if am alive in good enough health to enjoy anything, why should I assume that?
It's why as of late, I'm more focused on 'now', and being comfortable now, getting what I want now, to put myself at ease 'now'.
And like the bible says, tomorrow will just take care of itself.

That's how we've been conditioned to think, and it makes us selfish, not just towards ourselves, but towards others as well. |

This is me again, so far not all the impressed with this 5g phone, I can't tell it's 5g from 4g from 3g, volume not as good as last phone. Samsong? Not impressed, I like LG type of android phones, they're loud, easy to use, and practical. More reviews to follow as I get to know phone better. Also, when want to install chrome, or activate chrome I should say, you have like 'tiktok' right there, as if google and tiktok are married, so like to install chrome, it's like the chinese spy app tiktok comes with it, not sure how to unmarry them with this phone. Or maybe like so what if china spies on me, and maybe I should just be a fool and get rich like others off of tiktok. |

Ye, maybe I should just say 'screw it', as far as being afraid and weary of tiktok spying on me, so what, right?
I mean my own government already does that, and what's china going to do with my info anyways?
I mean they have so many trillions of bits of information, I'm sure they don't look at any but maybe 1 % of 1% of it, but most of it is just data noise to them, I guess, and if not, so what.
I've seen so many, that I feel I'm more talented then, become millionaires do to the exposure they get on tiktok, then once a millionaire, destroy your phone, wipe your online identity, and just vanish...right?
Especially at my older age...I mean so what if china or russia spies...I'm a boring azz person, I know no one, so the info they collect on me will put them to sleep..

Lesko rotating fan  This Lesko rotating fan puts out a higher or moves a higher volume of air than I expected. Cools me down probably more so than the full sized box fan version, and I only have it on the 1 setting.

I notice sonic rodent reppeller also works on knats and flying bugs  I notice these sonic rodent Repeller's also seem to work on knats and other flying insects within your home. I have a product similar to to one pictured, but different brand.
