  • They ride on T-Mobile’s network, so they have lower priority. Also, support is terrible and almost non-existent. I use Mint myself and it’s been ok. It’s great until you run into an issue, and it can be hell to get it resolved. If it works though, you should be fine, that’s why you should always use the trial sim first so you can test for 7 days if it works on your phone and if you have good reception in the places you’re usually at.


  • All the obvious ones have been mentioned already, so I’ll just add:

    • Keyboard tray if your desk doesn’t have one. It allows you to achieve the 90 degree arm position without having to set your desk too low or your chair too high.

    • Wrist pad. A nice gel pad provides great support for your wrist. Just make sure your keyboard and mouse are at the appropriate heights, because if not, a wrist pad can make it worse.

    • Head rest add-on to your chair if it doesn’t have one.

    • Laptop stand to lift your laptop screen to eye level. It also helps to keep it aligned to an external monitor so they are the same heights.





  • Well there aren’t really a lot of options with OP’s requirements, so something has to give. It’s either that, or:

    • Projector, but not super great quality and needs specific setups (dark room).

    • Extra large monitor, but heavy and expensive.

    • Smart TV that lets you bypass setup without connecting to the internet - best option, but they will have to find an exact model and someone who has tried it to confirm before they buy.












  • Honestly don’t know. In grade school we had a classmate who was always at the top of our entire batch. As expected she graduated as valedictorian. We all took the entrance exam for one of the coveted high schools and surprisingly she didn’t pass…and I got in lol. She kinda faded away after that. She’s probably fine though, just didn’t meet expectations going into high school.

    Does the fame require me to work and have public appearances (i.e. celebrity/actor/etc.), or can I be just a rich famous person without it? If it’s the latter, I’d take it. Be rich and famous but will fuck off somewhere on a private residence (gated mansion or island) and just live normally like I do now. Then if I want to travel or watch a concert, being rich gets you privileges like VIP entry where you can avoid the hassle of crowds.
