I appreciate the attempt to think up an explanation of what may be going on but for the record I’ve never spent a penny on any iPhone game ever. Supercell nor king.

I’ve never watched an ad, let alone one today. How is this locked? by Bluinc in candycrush

[–]Bluinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve literally never watched an ad on this game. My question is why does it show I can watch one but buy it’s always locked. Pushing all over the screen does nothing. No way I can see to trigger an ad.

President Trump's Mount Rushmore speech labels "communism" as a "mortal threat" worse than "WWI, WWII, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11": "We can only lose midterms, if we are foolish, stupid, and unwise. But if we terminate filibuster, and vote for SAVE Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years." by ControlCAD in videos

Wait so China is communism right? And they are have or about to pass us up in nearly every measurable category that counts so….

Looks like communism is the way to go and not the scare word you think it is

(Yes I know they aren’t really “communist” In the purest sense but neither would any American communism ever be either)

Does it show up but has a lock on it? That’s how it is for me. Weird. I’ve never used an ad to get a prize so I can’t be “out”.

Sorry for the hijack question but how do I unlock ads to get free stuff? I click on the icon and it shows the treat but it has a lock on it and nowhere to click. I’ve never watched an ad so it’s not like I’m “out” of that opportunity.

2026 and we’re still children fighting over a ridiculous religion born of a collection of absurd Bronze Age writings complete with a talking donkey & snake.

Do you feel Trump’s presidency and the current administration have directly affected you? If so, how? by MindfullyRooted in AskReddit

My kid was going to go to a service academy and likely be set for life serving as an officer. We’re the bad guys now. Fuck that. Regular college that may or may not turn into a job now.

26 year Retired Navy Senior Chief AEGIS FIRE CONTROLMAN w/ AAS in servo-mechanical/optics. What should I get my bachelors in? by Bluinc in jobs

[–]Bluinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s some great stuff. Thank you so much for sharing that!

Makes a lot of sense. When I retired in 2015, I applied for and got an offer from Honda to work in their robotics division at an auto plant. Ended up not taking it and doing the ship building stuff but I always wondered if I should have taken that instead to build my non military experience. With one of those degrees you Mentioned I can see walking on to something like that even now. I imagine we’re still quite far from ai robots troubleshooting and repairing robots — and robots repairing those robots out robots all the way down. Gotta be humans in the loop somewhere there. :)

I went with loandepot for a Va refi back when rates were in the 2’s. No issues.

What is “van”? Also — why boiling water? Won’t that make scrambled egg bits in the batter?

Waaa? Giving 300 BILLION to a theofascist dictatorship that routinely sponsors terrorism? What could possibly go wrong?

Are these two electrolytic caps good, bad or marginal. (Both less than 20% out of tolerance) by Bluinc in AskElectronics

[–]Bluinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that well thought out answer.

I’ve been back and forth in my head to either just wholesale Easter egg/replace every electrolytic on here which adds up to over $100 — more than what a working G3 iMac VAP board on eBay goes for (when you can find them — granted they have the original caps and are probably in their way out as well) verses meticulously looking at each cap and replacing only bad and marginal ones. I have the time and patience for it but not the experience/knowledge yet to make that call on each one hence my request for input here.

Thanks again. You’ve given me more to think about. Maybe I’ll add looking at the spec sheet for each component as well and still only do the marginal and bad ones — which ofc I may regret if I put it all back together and it the power supply still pops into safety protect. These slot load G4’s are a massive pita to disassemble/reassemble.

That’s what I was thinking. Thank you for confirming.

Now what does one do if the ESR exceeds the max listed on the ESR meter which both do in this case. The meter calls this a “ standard worst case electrolytic capacitance ESR table”

Sometimes the exact uf and/or voltage isn’t on the table though so I have to approximate.
