About 97s

Stay at home dad, part-time barista at Starbucks, and potter. I used to be heavily involved in the tech world, now I just observe from the outside.

    My son has been competing since 6th grade. They got 2nd place at states and loved it, so intense watching them play.

    It is frustrating isn't it to watch people back when we played idolize it as some glorious career, when it reality it is probably one of the most stressful, depressing and negative…

    I played back during the glory days of 2000-2004 and through the net-teller shutdown for America. Back then the money was absolutely absurd, because the game was very new online an…

    Ah excellent. It was under the Fi App. I am not sure I am even going to be able to get calls without wifi calling on. Kind of a nightmare. Thanks for your help.

    I am not sure I understand this. I have a S22 Galaxy Ultra. I do not see anywhere in my settings to turn on or off wifi-calling. Did we already get an update disabling this? I have…

    Yea I mean I get that, but I had my pixel 2 for over 5 years. Without repairing it at all. I assume my samsung S22U will also last 5+ years. So I just don't see the point of repair…

    The time consumption was a big one for me. It is easy to underestimate how much time 30 minutes a day is in 10 years. People always talking about how they have no time etc. But if …

    I feel like the issue with social media is you are not really social at a level that is helpful or relationship building. It is more of an observation of your friends doing things.…

    Hi. I am not bragging, just sharing opposite experience. I found it refreshing to view things in my own light and no be influenced by others as much. Observing my friends or social…

    For sure. The only time I watch TV is when I am eating because my hands are occupied. I guess the other time is when my wife or kids want to watch a movie together.

    I talk to my friends via text every so often to check in with them, and I use discord to talk to daily friends. The problem with social media is you don't check in with friends, yo…

    It is hard to know what you enjoy. I am 38 and I work a part time job and run a business from home. Is it exactly what I want to do? Absolutely not, but does it pay the bills, yes.…
