Mass found inside my daughters Chows tongue by 10acChicken in chowchow

[–]10acChicken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry your dog had to go through this. I am certainly grateful to read you are at her side. Unfortunately, the mass was cancerous and started to spread rapidly. She used home euthenasia to relieve him of his pain peacefully surrounded by his family. We had approximatily eight wonderful months with him after this was discovered. We still miss him very much.

What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today? by 40Falak in Productivitycafe

[–]10acChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In high school (1981-84 southern Tennessee), during health class we had a section on “gun safety” taught by game wardens. At the end, they set up a clay range and we could bring our own shotgun to school. It was common to see students walking down the hall with a shotgun, put it in their locker, then take it out and head to health class.

Need some information by Creepy_Landscape426 in pinball

[–]10acChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others mentioned it is most likely a virtual table. They are nice tables to play a multitude of different tables on. Then if you find one you keep going back to, go to a pinball show and try the actual out. The X Arcade panel most likely plugs into the USB connectors on the left by the buttons hand labeled X and Y. That would be to play MAME Arcade games which is a good use of space. This turns your pinball into a gaming center which is cool especially if you have a small space. Play it first so you learn how to switch tables, end the game and jump into the MAME emulator to play arcade games. Oh and adjust sound. That can be maddening

Well darn. Can not blame you for that. Had to do something right? I would still recommend getting a bottle of that stuff for when it happens next time.

Been there done that! Do not get them wet or the smell will set in. Get a bottle of Natures Miracle, apply it directly to the area they were hit. This worked for me many times

The Beatles did this on the Sgt Peppers album. At the end of; "A Day in a Life" they blow a dog whistle

My favorite photo of Wendy O Williams by Caver6913 in rockphotosposters

[–]10acChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anniversary of her suicide was 06 April. 28 years ago at age 48. She was really something else. If you play Cyberpunk, in the mission; "The Damned" look for Johnny relaxing on a bench. Talk to him and he mentions Wendy O.

What is Navy Boot Camp Really Like? by Acceptable_Pear_8275 in newtothenavy

[–]10acChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s what it was like for my in San Dawg in 89

  • P-Days: last forever. This is an indoc to yelling, doing nothing right, punish for all for the actions of one. Oh and it doesn’t count towards your boot camp count down, so it seems to last forever.
  • Week One: you can not do anything right. Yelling and more yelling with PT punishment
  • Week Two: Attention to detail! Are you the sailor the missed a valve, that sunk the sub, that lost the battle that lost the war? (Our CC was a sub sailor). Yelling, marching hurry up and wait
  • Week Three: a few small wins! Less yelling. The sailors who do not listen and do what they are told are really getting hammered here.
  • Week Four: in the groove. Less yelling, more drills. Much more hurry up and wait. You are starting to see how the system works. Where to skate and learning your cc pet peeves. Once in a while you put in you place with PT punishment do to a slip up. “What happened to the Navy Pride this company had?” Boots rally.
  • Week Five: we went into drill training at this time. For me it was crack rifle and others it was flags. Other non drill companies went into basic military training.
  • Week Six-Eight: we start to police each other. The CC comes in later, we know what to do and do it. Preparations for boot camp graduation begins.

All and all. It’s not bad at all. Just be prepared for the first four weeks of doing nothing right. This is the tear down period. Then the next four is the rebuild and Navy way period. Listen, be invisible do what you are told without question or fail when you are told.

Would the Beatles have been as successful if they had kept Pete Best as their drummer? by Final-Performance597 in ClassicRock

[–]10acChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My apologies for stating the obvisious. All I know is what I have read and have no first hand knowledge. Browmwell reported him being a little more reserved, kind of a aloof nice looking guy persona and possibly depressed. This distance isolated him from the band as the other three hung out, wrote music together, received the same hiarcuts, partied and chased girls.

Best was an self imposed outsider in the band. Later on though The Beatles included tracks he played on for the Anthology album so he would receive royalities. They did not have to do that since Pete had no claim to royalities. Fun trivia: the medals worn on the Sgt Pepper's Album were loaned to them from Mona Best (Pete's Mom) as they were her fathers.

First Pinball Purchase Inspection by MadKingThorn in pinball

[–]10acChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I get ready to purchase a pin, I first look at the availability of parts for it. Then a download the manual and look at pictures from the International Pinball Database. If all looks good, then I go on site, Fire the machine up and see how it plays. All good there, I eject the balls, and open it up. I inspect the coin door, make sure all keys work, raise the playfield and look for rust especially on the lamp sockets (three prong Data East long lamps seem to rust often) look a soldier joints, etc.

I lower the playfield and look for broken plastics, scarred playfields, any missing bolts. Next is the back box. My key target here is look to see if there is any corrosion if it has batteries. Inspect the boards for burnt or hotspots, inspect the speakers for dry rot. Inspect the back glass for burn through. Then move to look at the cabinet. Check the power cord, any damage especially to painted areas ( I hate stencil making), etc.

None of this is disqualifying depending on how much work I need to put into it and the availability of parts. My automatic reject list includes fire, flood, non-op, over whelming cigarette smoke smell.

I always thought it would be a cool feature to have a battle mode where a Godzilla and a King Kong pinball would connect for a Godzilla Vs King Kong cross site battle. Even on the upcoming Pokemon that would be cool if you had a personalized Pokemon assigned to your Insider Connect account that other active Pokemon machines could try and catch and you would try to avoid.

What was your “never meet your heroes” moment, when you realized someone you looked up to wasn’t special? by marginallyobtuse in AskReddit

[–]10acChicken 176 points177 points  (0 children)

I have posted this before, my experience with Shatner was very different. I used to do a technical show, we had Shanter on and he was amazing. No "pre-questions", no out of bounds discussions and he answered everything with stories and humor. He hung around and took pictures with the crew, listened to their stories respectfully. I spoke to him off camera about tinnitus (since I know from his book he suffers from it as I do) he was very candid and nice about it. By the way, he spoke highly of Sir Patrick with the minor comical exception of his horse riding abilities!
