The Postal Service is falling into pattern raising stamp prices each January and July. But its regulator is considering limits to those price increases. A proposed rule from the Postal Regulatory Commission would cap UPSP to only raising prices once per year. The regulator gave USPS the freedom to set mail prices higher than the rate of inflation in 2020 when the agency was at risk of running out of cash. USPS is planning to set the price of a first-class Forever stamp to 78 cents next month.

The lawn industry, specifically mowing, has been littered with failed business models since I got into it in 1979. From low balling to get tons of work, low balling then raising prices, and more, it seems that the same bad ideas get recycled, repackaged and now resold as great ideas. Sadly, people think these ideas will create a successful business when in reality, it's a pipe dream built on tons of work and headache and little real reward besides a lot of cash flow. What we are here to share today is that there is a better way. A way that doesn't require a "growth phase", insane price increases, working with everybody who just wants a cheap service, working dawn to dusk and missing out on family and pesonal time, and being just another cheap lawn guy willing to undercut instead of sell on real value. This better way isn't a get rich quick scheme, it does require hard work, learning about your company's real cost per hour, how to properly and professionally bid, how to advertise and sell, and more. It is actually learning how to be a business person and business owner instead of another cheap lawn guy. What I will say about this way is that it led me out of nearly 6 figure debt in the 80's, led my business to be ranked as a top 10 small business by Landscape Management magazine, and has led me here to my 46 season in the lawn and landscape industry.

Welcome to episode #221 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the massive, yet unfortunate news of GTA VI being delayed until 2026. Though the demand is there for it to come out now, we cover why this delay is a good sign, and the importance of quality over hitting a deadline in gaming. We then shift to some rumors that are floating around regarding the battle pass for next year's COD. Rumor has it that there will be even more exclusive content and potential game modes that will be locked behind a paywall. This should come as no surprise, however it is a big concern regarding how far they take this, and we discuss the potential problems that could arise from this. What are your thoughts on delays in gaming? Does it bother you that GTA VI has been delayed into 2026, or are you excited regardless? What are your thoughts on the potential paywall in the battle pass for next year's COD? Would you buy it, or does it depend on what they have to offer? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Follow us:Twitter: @TheCODCasualsInstagram: @TheCODCasualsTikTok: @TheCODCasualsContact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

Large TV Warranty Experience I've meant to write about my TCL TV experience for quite some time. What can I say, life is just busy. I have two more kids than Braden! When I heard a couple of weeks ago a question about warranty experiences for large TVs, I thought I had put off writing this story long enough. After listening to Braden hype up TCL TVs for at least a couple of years, as well as reading many reviews for TVs and watching the developing technology trends at the time, in September 2020 I ordered a TCL 75R635, a so-called 6-series Roku 4K QLED 75-inch TV with a respectable 240-zone backlight array. The TV had been announced earlier in the year, perhaps at CEDIA or CES and I was ready to replace my 10-year old Panasonic plasma HD TV with this TCL model. I watched over the next many months for the TV to become available. While I hoped for a sale, I also knew from watching similar TVs that the stock tended to get bought out pretty quickly. Amazon finally had the TV available to order in September 2020 and I ordered immediately for a retail price of $1399 plus tax. I received it on October 3. The TV worked great for about 6 months. In late March 2021, the screen suddenly and mysteriously slowly faded to a sort of dark backlit state in the middle of whatever my wife was watching. A backlight was on, but no picture elements were displayed. You could still hear the TV making sounds associated with navigating the menu when pushing buttons on the remote. I started a warranty claim March 31 nothing I was well within the 1-year warranty period. I don't recall exact timing, but a service tech was scheduled to attempt to repair the TV within 10 days. The day he was supposed to come, he called me beforehand and said he'd already been trying to repair the same model TV for another purchaser. He asked me a couple of questions about what the TV was doing. His conclusion over the phone and based on trying to work on the same model of TV was that it was not repairable and he would elevate the case to sending a replacement. Here is where the process got a little frustrating. TCL honored the claim. However, the process became surprisingly slow. As I said, I don't recall exactly when the service tech came, but if it was Day 10, that would have been April 9. TCL told me on April 23 the TV was finally being shipped. It was considered a freight shipment, so TCL handed me off to Pilot Deliveries from that point forward. I had to contact Pilot to arrange delivery if you can believe that! I also had to coordinate with Pilot to pick up the defective unit. I did all of this. By May 3, I still had not received the replacement. It took another call to TCL at this point to investigate the problem because tracking showed it bouncing all over the map. I think it came from China. Landed in California, then I think it made it to Nashville, then Chattanooga, back to Nashville, and hopped over me in Huntsville to wind up in Mobile, Alabama. By this point, Pilot seemed to finally acknowledge they weren't handling this delivery well. It did get flown one last time to Huntsville. Then they sent the TV on an unmarked box truck (No "Pilot" markings) with a kid who was maybe 20 to deliver the TV to my home. The TV was the only thing on the truck. And, it had fallen over which I suspected when I came around to the back of the truck and saw the driver just finishing standing the box back up. The driver admitted this was the case when I asked. But, jumping to the end, the TV has always worked fine. I had to help get the very large box in the house because they should have sent two people to handle this delivery. This was May 6 when I finally took possession. So, a little over 5-week process. I never expected it to take that long. The rumors amongst forums at the time were that because this was most likely a first production run model (remember, I bought it as soon as it was available), there were manufacturing defects. And the failure itself was likely because TCL was wiring the backlight array in-series, so if one light goes out, they all stop working. I think the “dark light” that we could see came from the edges, so maybe the light array was separated into zones somehow. I guess I'll never really know. Finally, some anecdotes: Anecdote #1: I am a sentimental sort and I was a little sad to see the original go as me and my kids had broken in that first TV watching the then new Mandalorian series which we greatly enjoyed. Anecdote #2: My “finance committee” hates it when we spend “large” amounts of money all at once. In all those years I was listening to you guys, doing research, and waiting for the TV to become available, I banked my Amazon credit card reward points just for a TV. When the time came, I only paid $61.02 out of pocket for this TV. We've greatly enjoyed the TV ever since. I couldn't swing $4000-$5000+ at the time for the 55-inch OLEDs that were out then. But the TCL has always been enjoyable. HDR and Dolby Vision content especially look great for deep dark blacks. Would I buy one similar to this again? Maybe—the technology continues to improve even in just the last 4 years and prices have also come down. There are lots of options. Honestly, I think more about a short throw projector for my next TV based on Ara's experiences. Hope you and the listeners enjoy this story about my warranty experience. Josh Huntsville, AL
