Fuck DirecTV in the goatass.
Got an email from DTV/ATT wanting me to "review my order". What "order", I didn't order anything. So I review it. It seems they decided out of the kindness of their hearts to bill me for an additional genie mini that I don't have and didn't ask for. Called customer service and the Indian woman tried to tell me that it was for the main genie. I told her it was not on there before, and that the charges for HD receiver, DVR, and whole home service was the main genie. I told her that if she couldn't explain how the bogus order was created and take the added mini off my bill, I would call the state attorney general and file a fraud complaint. She sent me to an account supervisor who confirmed there was no record of the order, confirmed the equipment I did have, corrected the billing, and knocked $25/month off for next year. Fuck them.

So I got a WSM...
Don't know how frequently you expect to smoke, but I do something every couple of months, usually rotating between pork butts, ribs, and brisket. So it may be 6+ months between brisket cooks. So, I keep a log what what I cooked, how I did it, how long it took, how much fuel it took, vent setting, and how it turned out. I refer back to my notes every time I plan a new cook.

Strange travel question

Game of Thrones Season 8 (NO BOOKSPOILERS) thread
Most say Cersei is ruthless, cunning, but loves her children. I call BS. she only "loves" her children because she gets reflected glory. Witness the "Tommen betrayed me," line when he committed suicide. She's not particularly cunning. Most of her schemes go badly. For example giving the high sparrow so much power. Sending Jamie to Dorne to fetch her daughter back home. Sending Bron to kill Jamie and Tyrion (wtf did she expect?) She's not ruthless, at least not directly, and only when backed into a corner. She did it through 3rd parties. Ned tells her he knows her children are bastards of incest, so she is forced to have Robert killed and Ned charged with treason. She has the Sept of Baelor blown up because she was going to be imprisoned again. But she watches from a distance. She tells Jaime not to leave her to go fight with the North, or she'll have him killed. Then has The Mountain stand down. She wanted to have Tyrion executed for killing Joffery, but not by her hand, but after a trial and with an executioner. So to me, there was no doubt she would stand down again and not give a public order to kill Tyrion. Also, she's had no experience with warfare. All she has is Euron Greyjoy, who while adept at sea battles has no on land experience. She has the sell swords of the Golden Company, and I'm sure their leader is skilled, and it is possible that Jamie will return to fight for her, but... Finally, remember the Battle of Blackwater, when it looked like Stannis couldn't be stopped? What did she do? She went and hid in the throne room and prepared to commit suicide. If the Targaryen forces look like they will overrun Kings Landing, she'll kill herself. just my two cents.

I re-watched it with subtitles on. It said Jon: Yells To me it sounded like "No!" or just a none word. But if you wanted to heard "go", you could.

I thought the coin was a reward for her finding the scroll with Sansa's message that Ned was a traitor and come kneel to King Joffery.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (NO BOOKSPOILERS) thread
I think you guys who have berated me as not understanding recessive/dominate, ok I agree, but my point is two fold. First Jon has for his entire life been Eddard's bastard, but we are being told now he is Targaryen. I see that as being a being a bigger twist than Syrio being alive and a faceless man. Part two is that while Bran has seen it in his vision, how will the people become convinced Jon is Targaryen? His life's story is about being a bastard. He doesn't look the part. The first reaction of the banner men houses will be "bullshit". As to Syrio=Jaqen, its fun to speculate on a message board, but I suspect it won't get cleared up in the final 6 episodes.

I don't know if Syrio=Jaqen, but it is no more a stretch than black haired Jon Snow being a son of a platinum haired Targarian. Especially given Ned Stark's evidence about Joffery, not being a Baratheon. And it is interesting that Syrio disappears just before Jaqen arrives. So why was Jaqen in the cage going to the Wall? Was the great assassin actually captured?

do you call everyone you disagree with a racist? Because that seems to be dominate line of attack on this board. I say she is educated beyond her intellect because even though she had a degree in economics, she had no clue about the simplest concepts, and her GND is laughed at by anyone who thinks about what it would entail. But she's attractive and an outspoken socialist, so nowadays, simpletons think she's cool.

Even though you are certain he is a criminal and have labeled him a traitor, you'll be ok if he is "exonerated of any wrong-doing". lulz

Fuck DirecTV in the goatass.
Gotdamnit.... I'm still with DTV. I'm old fashioned. When they "upgraded" me to the Genie 18 months ago, they said it was free with a 2-year contract. I said ok. Come Aug, we gone. Well on the 3rd, I woke to an error 775 - can't communicate with dish error. Call DTV, get it working but they want to send a Tech to check the connections. Set that up for the next day. Then she tries to up-sell me to their Protection Plan that covers TVs, laptops, etc for $21/month. Heard this shit before, told her I wasn't interested. Tech came yesterday and tightened the connections. (apparently they'd gotten loose) This AM, I get an email saying that the repair had been made and the work order was closed. For some reason I decided to read the copious amount of text below the graphic. It said I agreed to the $21 protection plan and that the billing would be reflected on the next bill! Went to their website to remove it. Can't find a way to remove it. So I call them, hold for 5 minutes talk to some woman about it. She puts me on hold for a couple of minutes to talk with an account rep. She then transfers me to the account rep (after a 1 minute hold) who asks what I'm calling about. Finally I think I got it cancelled. Told him I didn't agree to it, want it taken off, and there to be no pro-rated charge. Also told him that I resented what DTV had done and considered it fraud. Then they tried to up-sell me to ATT internet services....SMDH.
