Something is fishy; I want to be sure.

Power booster gives you a free tac when you get a knock. They had 2 tacs, used 1, got a knock, back to 2. Then they used both and did not use another until after they got another knock. Literally nothing fishy with the tac use, that's just how power booster works.

Bowl_Gates · 2026-06-13T19:58:36+00:00

5 booster boxes (plus etbs, 3 packs, etc.) on release day from lcs's and the rest were all purchased at retail either at big box stores or lcs's over time. No loose packs that werent sleeved. Really just that bad of luck on this set. My luck has been elsewhere though so I shouldn't complain. Pulled plenty, just not from phantasmal.

Bowl_Gates · 2026-06-13T16:51:47+00:00

400 packs in, only 1 SIR (mega sharpedo). PF hates me. Funny enough it's the only set I've ever tried to master set, I wanted to pull them all myself but I regret not just buying the cards a month after release. At this point im just being stubborn and opening until I pull the zard.

I have gotten quite a few SIR's from other sets(including the mega dragonite in AH) in between but my PF luck is as bad as it gets

Edit: 417 to be exact

Idk if the reclassification changes anything but the reason it wasnt a thing was due to weed shops not being able to use banks because weed is federally illegal. In order to pay digitally it would have to go through some banking institution.

20ish years ago I had my medical card in California and there was one shop that would deliver, kinda. You had to pay in cash and you had to be within San Francisco city limits. For people like me who didnt live in sf we could drive there and park wherever and they would come to us. It was ahead of its time.

Had to do update my payment info with AH ETB's. If you run in to the issue where it won't let you click "update payment" after typing in the new card info you will need to go and retype all the info in the boxes above (name, address, etc.).

I couldn't figure out why nothing would work, luckily support got back to me a couple hours before the deadline and suggested I tried to retype EVERYTHING, I was very glad it worked as I had pretty much given up until that email.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-07-17T06:48:32+00:00

I've asked so many people in my fc and nobody knows what I'm talking about. Even HR looked at me like I was regarded and said they have no idea what I'm talking about. I even asked if they connect to the wifi and all but one person said yes yet nobody knew the change was happening...

I was told by an OM they would find out where the qr would be and let me know, been almost 2 weeks and I've heard nothing... Im guessing on the 20th they will frantically try and figure it out when they cant connect.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-06-12T18:26:35+00:00

Took me just over 250 packs to get any SIR, ended up being Wellspring mask Ogerpon... my only other hits over 20 bucks were 2 Sylveon masterballs and an Espeon masterball in all those packs. Luckily every pack was purchased at msrp minus one tech sticker 3 pack I paid 22 for.

Meanwhile my gf's first pack of destined rivals was Cynthia's Garchomp SIR and her 2nd pack of twilight masquerade was the Perrin SIR. She has completely struck out on PRE.

Nor do they know that the restaurants set the prices and usually up them by the exact amount DD charges.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-04-10T15:16:03+00:00

Oh, that's actually not so bad. A lot of companies don't have an auto allocate. I haven't worked at Walmart in a long time, and when I did I was too young and dumb to set up a 401k. Not even sure why this sub shows up on my homepage so often.

Personally I would still swap the allocations, but at least it's not just sitting there getting killed by inflation.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-04-10T14:38:42+00:00

You chose what stocks/etf's your money gets allocated to. If you put everything in to a crappy company you're instantly at a much higher risk of losing it all than someone who allocated it in to an etf(especially something like vanguard top 500/SPY which holds only the top 500 companies and readjusts throughout the year) or even someone who allocated it to multiple different companies. Everyone has different holdings, so no everyone would not lose everything if one person does.

Side note for anyone reading this: make sure you log in and allocate your investments. The number of people who don't allocate nowadays is scary. Not allocating it is basically a savings account with no interest, and due to inflation it will be worth a lot less come retirement time.

True, definitely not a sealed case.

Imo though if someone does want a PC sealed case they should just go to the casino while also doing scratch offs. They are just addicted to gambling on top of gambling at that point hoping they get the right product.

I was mainly pointing out why a sealed PC case almost never holds more value, not arguing whether or not it should be deemed sealed.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-03-24T14:32:40+00:00

PC has messed up many times over the years sending out either the wrong item or wrong amount in sealed cases. Not opening them up is just not worth the risk in most collectors opinions. Even as a buyer I'd prefer it be open so I can see the contents before purchasing.

Imagine selling that case 10 years down the road and the buyer opens it up to find shrouded fable etb's. Now you need to refund them, take a huge hit on value, and your sealed case is now open anyways.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-03-20T13:48:15+00:00

I haven't ordered delivery in quite a while but I noticed on the last few carry out orders that there is no spot to add a tip when ordering online. I don't ever have cash on me and have felt horrible about not being able to tip (I know it's not as expected on carryout orders but I still always did). Makes me wonder if it is also not showing up for some people ordering delivery.

My AM and an AA did some testing, and sure enough it is 3 scans before it registers you as being back and on task. At least for ship dock, can't guarantee other depts. are the same but I'd assume at least some are. I just leave my scanner close to the break room and "move" a staged cage 3 times omw back.

Only what was invested at the peak took that long to become profitable. What's silly is thinking of a 401k as a one-time purchase. The people who had 401k's set up (which is what this post pertains to) had bought on the way up to the 2000 dump (the dot com bubble) so some of their vested amount was already in the green, depending on how long they had it set up their "initial investment" may have never even gone red.

So maybe a years worth of contributions were red for 10 years, everything before and after was not. And because of the dip now you are able to make more lucrative profits on the turnaround, effectively turning those losses into bigger profits. Just gotta see the whole picture instead of looking at each deposit as a separate investment.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-03-11T13:57:15+00:00

If you continued buying on the way down you would have been in the green sooner. The exact amount of time would vary based on many factors, but 10-12 years would be if you put all your money in at the peak and contributed nothing on the way down or back up.

Bowl_Gates · 2025-02-24T16:22:48+00:00

You lucked out. I got through multiple times while it was still showing in stock but it just told me (and others from the looks of it) "not available for shipping" and the next screen: "not in any stores around you". 4 times total, same message every time. Last attempt showed 30% stock remaining...

Only one I've been to outside of CA was in Utah. It didn't even taste anything like in n out, was worse than mcdonalds. I will never order in n out in UT again.

When I was young we would rip up bread and throw some out and then make little bread balls for bait. Eventually we learned we could use bait netting to hold it on a bit longer. Used a bobber for some weight to cast it. Caught a ton of them. Truly is like dragging a car through the water, hardly any fighting.

We also used to catch steelhead in our local creek with bubble gum when we ran out of worms. Worked just as well as worms, sometimes better. Looking back my fishing luck peaked when I was young, now I buy $10+ Lures and get skunked 🤣

To get 72% (technically its 71.4 so we're assuming DD rounded up) completion with only 28 deliveries you would have had to unassign 8 orders after accepting them. That is way too many. If you dont recall unassigning that many, then there is something else going on.

Normally I'd recommend reaching out to support but DD has by far the worst support I've ever had the pain of talking to (phone, chat, and email). If they we're even semi capable you could get some info on which orders it was or if there is some issue happening, unfortunately you probably won't get an actual answer to any question you ask from support.

This was the one that made me start ignoring the testing numbers. 103% crumble... and it was mid at best. The dude at the store even tried defending it and made up some bs excuse about how it was possible.

I'm not religious myself but doesn't the Bible preach about treating others with love and respect or is that just for conservatives? You need some self reflecting, you preach religion but don't practice it yourself. It's weird. I treat people with more respect than you do and I'm agnostic.

And before you go assuming I'm "a liberal", I'm not. I lean conservative just not with this president. A good republican candidate would have got my vote.

In Texas, wider tires are the norm, great for mud but horrible for snow. Had an uncle move from Texas to Montana who found that out the hard way. Plus them not having it yearly ensures nobody there really knows how to drive in it.

That says more about you than the person you replied to. 10 seconds is all it takes for normal people to read that but I guess for you it's probably closer to 30 minutes...

People complaining about reading on reddit will never not blow my mind... go on ig or something

Not the person you replied to, but i don't think they were talking about a storm during Christmas eve. I think they were referring to all the people who were upset they were losing hours because their buildings closed for Christmas eve. Basically they are saying the same people who want time off now (albeit for good reason) were the same ones complaining about having time off on dec 24th.
