if vinyl flooring packaging says to prime concrete floors before installing, but your concrete floor is painted already, can I consider that primed? or should I go get primer?
I checked reddit but the flooring sub says I’m an idiot for installing peel and stick vinyl on concrete, so that is unhelpful.
Is it a glue down or floating installation? If it’s floating I wouldn’t worry about it. For glue down, I might err on the side of following the instructions, but I’ve never done it. I did a floating install of an engineered hardwood, and did the whole seal the slab paint on thing. Not as big a pain as you’d think, but I also owned almost nothing and had just bought the place so the floor was very empty for me to work.
it’s glue down.
yeah, it’s a tiny, empty room, so I don’t think it will take long. But always nice to skip a step if it’s unnecessary.
Smell the tofu, if it’s bad you’ll know!
Question: For anyone who has Mint Mobile. How much does your monthly bill increase after the initial $15/mo time period you purchased?
I am thinking about switching and buying a full year at $15 a month but a nervous about the disclaimer that the rate is not guaranteed after your initial purchase.
I’m worried month 13 will go up to $30+, Which is about what I pay now and I don’t think it would be worth the switch If I’m going to have to inevitably switch again in a year.
Any experiences/insights? Thanks y’all!
Also: Thank you everyone for the tofu tips! It is not smelly.
I still pay $15/month per line after a few years. The customer service is terrible but we always get through. LMK if you want a referral code!
Thanks for the info.
How did you manage that? Did you call them after your initial time period? Did you re-sign up like a new customer?
I think I pay $20/month for 15gb. Still a huge savings over what I had been paying on ATT.
I think it auto renews? At any rate that part is seamless enough that I don’t specifically recall details. It’s only been a problem when we have new phones or something. We’ve had a high rate of phone loss or destruction or me buying the wrong kind and it’s hard to activate a new phone without the old one, especially if you’re 12 and no one knows your password for the app.
Has that been enough for you? I use sooo much data I’m getting throttled on my current plan every month for the last few days on my “unlimited” plan. Ugh.
It has. I had 5gb at first, but the wifi at work is SO SLOW that I upgraded to 15 to not have to worry. But if you are already hitting max on your unlimited, I would be wary
We all have 5gb and it’s plenty for me unless I do a lot of video chatting on data. The boys wish they had more because they like to watch videos on the bus.
ETA: The $15/line I have always paid is for 5 gb each.
Not currently on Mint but used to be. The $15/month is the cost if you pay annually. As far as I know, the annual cost hasn’t gone up at all, you just have to pay for the whole next year upfront.
Do you know how much data you use? You should be able to see the info!
Yep - I had mint mobile for 3 or 4 years but I had the 5gb per month plan and I paid for a full year at a time so it was only $15 per month. If you choose to pay for 3 or 6 months at a time the monthly cost goes up, and if you have more data the monthly cost goes up.
Prior to having Mint I had google fi, which at the time charged you $10 per gig, depending on how many gigs you used. So I had already changed my behavior to use 1gb or less per month. I only downloaded podcasts when I was on wifi, I didn’t idly scroll on my phone or open apps that used internet unless I was connected to wifi, etc. When we switched to the 5gb plan with Mint I didn’t know how I would ever use 5gb in a month!
$15/mo is the annual price for the 5gb plan. A plan with more data or shorter time will be more per month 
I also have Mint and did the intro unlimited at $15 month plan, and am debating between the 5 and 15gb plans. I am very low data user in general, but traveling these days, especially road trips, really increases the data usage.
What looks best under this sweater and with dark brown pants? There is a tiny bit of orange around the flowers. Are the cream items too bright/stark? I think a new/not faded brown turtleneck would definitely be better and will get one. I could also get a dark brown cami if that works. The sweater is super lightweight so I’d like to be able to wear a turtleneck with it this winter and a cami when it warms up a bit.
Or maybe this color that’s more of the orange and less of the brown is better with the dark pants? I do love orange! I don’t think I love the white cami the model is wearing.
I like the orange best, it brings out the warn colors on the sweater.
The cream is too bright to me, the brown too dark. Both might be better with a statement necklace or scarf.
I like the dark brown.
But I think part of that is because my eyes are perceiving it as a bit more burgundy which I think would be a great option if you have anything in a burgundy?
Yes burgundy would be fantastic here. Your whites are too white, go wash them until they’re a bit dingy.
Orange is my favourite.
