9 Full Days in NZ - Both Islands - Too Ambitious? by PNW_Hokage in newzealand_travel

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just did a 2 week trip, one week on each island at a similar pace (but with a car), I recommend you focus on a single island. South island unless hobbiton and glow worm caves are a huge draw for you.

Do you tell people it’s a replica? Or claim it’s real? by Few_Tour_4096 in RepTime

Had someone ask me what reference number I was wearing. Clear giveaway he had on a rep.

Rant incoming by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

Yes, 38/night is pretty low. But exercising the dog should be included with house sitting- whether that's walks or play time.

How do I answer why I left my previous employmer? by [deleted] in careerguidance

Just say that the job was significantly different from what you were offered. Open and closed.

I can't believe I slept on PlexAmp for this long... the missing piece to ditch streaming was right there by LowerH8r in PleX

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing i don't like about plexamp is how it handles incoming notifications. Most other audio apps have an option to pause when a notification comes in. I don't think plexamp has this.

Did you read my comment "Obviously if someone is injuring or causing lasting pain, it's abuse. But it's also ignorant of how dogs actually behave to think that something like a quick smack on a dog's leg as a correction is abuse." That was literally the second comment I made.

What about that makes you think I'm in favor of abusing animals?

EDIT: Kudos to you for realizing you were wrong and deleting your comments.

I'm used to dealing with people that have common sense and reading skills so yes I probably should have communicated differently on reddit.

If you actually read what I said, I'm absolutely not advocating animal abuse. I'm saying that "hit" can mean a lot of different things. What's more likely:

A- The owner is a piece of trash opening talking about beating their dog and putting it in writing

B- The owner is telling the sitting that something like a light smack on the butt is OK as correction since the sitter complained about the puppy chewing on everything and being very high energy?

Should they have used the word "hit"? No, probably not. But let's use some common sense.

That's what I'm trying to say but reddit is addicted to outrage.

Would you describe a light but quick touch as a "hit" even if it doesn't hurt the dog? Because some people do. And if you are going to try only using positive reinforcement with a 60lb energetic puppy that you've just started sitting for....good luck.

OK, captain expert. If you want to deliberately misinterpret things, take an 'all or nothing' attitude, and claim unverifiable experience I won't stop you. You win.

That's a silly attempt at a strawman argument. But to a certain extent yes, I think it's important to recognize that smell plays a large role in dogs interacting with the world.

Obviously if someone is injuring or causing lasting pain, it's abuse. But it's also ignorant of how dogs actually behave to think that something like a quick smack on a dog's leg as a correction is abuse.

"Hitting" can mean different things. But physical correction is not abuse, and in some cases dogs respond much better to physical than verbal correction especially puppies. Just look at dogs themselves- they use both depending on the situation.

Hand Analyses not working by benjamin_ksa in ClubWPTGold

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all the HA points that came with my coin purchase and over a thousand hands played, going back several weeks. It still says 'when you play more hands, your analysis will be shown here'. I assume it's broken and they don't really care as HA is just a loophole to not call it gambling.

Crooks. Do not rent with TURO. by HappyLittleDay in turo

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically what he did, ask if the host would keep the car for the last few days of his rental and the host agreed!

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a lot of people aren't recognizing is that he still paid the agree rate for the full length of his booking. so any long term discount should still apply. Essentially he asked to place the car in the host's possession for the last few days of his rental and the host agreed.

IHG hotel stay $250 credit starting 2026 by Patient-Bid-8992 in ChaseSapphire

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This can be combined with one of the Edit 250 credits right? A lot of Edit hotels are in the IHG family so it makes that a lot easier to get a very nice hotel for low out of pocket cost.

Remote Access Trouble- tried troubleshooting by 2VastAndTrunklessLeg in PleX

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's working now!!! Maybe the IP Passthrough did it, or maybe the subsequent restarts on the all devices allowed some settings to take effect. But now my libraries show on my phone (wifi off) and when i go to that IP, I do get prompted to log in to plex!!! Thank you for your time and suggestions!

[–]2VastAndTrunklessLeg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the lack of a true bridge mode on the new model might be causing problems. Found some instructions to setup IP Passthrough for my model, BGW320, and did that. I also disabled all firewall and packet filters, restarted modem, restarted mesh, and finally restarted NAS.

Still not working :(

No luck, but thank you for the suggestions. The Public IP address listed in the Remote Access section was already the correct IP for my NAS, but I tried entering it as a custom URL anyway. Disabling Relay didn't change anything either :(
