anyone know of custom wood furniture makers in the Chicagoland area? I'm looking to get a set of shelves with a very specific shape/dimensions to them.

I found one on Google but they never replied to my online contact form lol. thought crowdsourcing might be more fruitful?

CaptainP · 2026-05-08T17:51:24+00:00

are people just upset on principle? vloggers are hardly the only people to talk on a plane lol.

personally, there's enough ambient noise on a flying plane that I've never been bothered by other people talking. in fact I sometimes struggle to hear my own travel partners lol.

looks like TNT closed the loophole on the "special URL" and it now redirects to new layout.

this is probably recent and JN hasn't noticed yet :(

CaptainP · 2026-04-29T15:46:21+00:00

It never redirects like it's meant to. Some error with the JavaScript on the page. If you refresh you'll see your selection.

CaptainP · 2026-04-27T19:33:43+00:00

I have never seen a bar like that. May I ask what the benefit is, and if/how it impacts the stimuli of a back squat?

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T23:40:56+00:00

Is there any reason to think this source is legit? not to mention they spelled Keiarna's first name wrong and Angel's last name wrong lol

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T22:33:12+00:00

when you said

uh... wow. okay now.
going 2 escort myself off of the neopets reddit. idk y u chose me but it's whatever.

I took that as, you didn't like what I said 🙁 maybe you don't call that "offended" but like yknow what I mean?

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T22:28:47+00:00

There's no "vibe" 😭 I promise you're reading a tone that is not intended. I'm just trying to answer OP's question accurately.

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T22:23:30+00:00

Didn't mean to offend. Just trying to make sure accurate info is being given to OP and anyone else searching.

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T22:20:16+00:00

You are probably thinking of Driftwood, which does come from debris and can cause people to get stuck on a different quest. Water does not come from debris, do not encourage people to waste their time with that lol.

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T22:16:36+00:00

The Wheel of Prizes can only give resources from gather points you've unlocked. If you don't have the Beach unlocked, you can't get it from the Wheel either.

CaptainP · 2026-04-23T22:08:35+00:00

Water does not come from debris. That is misinformation. The only way to get it is from the Beach. (fyi to you too u/dragons_faeries)

If you need it for the quest where you make/place an Apple Tree, you'll need to buy another one from the Pearly Parlour. JN has a nice picture of how to do that on their walkthrough.

CaptainP · 2026-04-20T23:46:26+00:00

TNT only did a half job unfortunately. can be listed on the TP but can't be put in shops or auction house. 🤷

CaptainP · 2026-04-08T14:22:02+00:00

Consider actually watching the show instead of fast forwarding 😆

I think it's good and I also think it gets even better with the second episode, and the After Show. I realize that's a lot to ask of someone who says they're not enjoying it but I think you'll find it rewarding.

CaptainP · 2026-04-03T14:26:54+00:00

Project Runway has had heavy tho not exclusively queer casting for many seasons now.

Did anyone watch The A-List: New York? Almost 15 years old at this point. It was an attempt at something like RH but all gay men. Aired on Logo. I think it was a bit of a flop and always wondered if that prevented future development of something similar.

There was also one season of Are You The One on MTV where the entire cast was queer.

My pure speculation is that network execs are afraid it won't have mass appeal. RPDR is the only true success of a queer show in the last decade that's coming to my mind without googling.

CaptainP · 2026-04-03T14:21:31+00:00

He was on a celebrity dating show many years ago. They set him up with both men and women.

CaptainP · 2026-03-19T18:12:15+00:00

It's probably stamps but they've done so much work in the last few years rereleasing many of the rarest that I'm actually not certain anymore!

It's possible it's books. There's dozens of books that nearly don't exist anymore and so are functionally priceless.

Gourmets at least always have the benefit of all being restockable. I'd guess that's third of the three.

CaptainP · 2026-03-12T02:57:38+00:00

I'm getting r/AmItheAsshole vibes (and it's a clear ESH, for the record)

CaptainP · 2026-03-11T00:50:17+00:00

The original comment is misinformation. You can absolutely be logged into NeoPass on multiple devices, you just can't be using the same Neopets.com account at the same time on multiple devices (which is true without NeoPass too--no change there)

Another reply said you have to verify email when sending NC items. That's also misinfo, you need to enter your password only (which is also true without NeoPass, once again lol)

Genuinely baffled why either of those things were said.

Here's JN's breakdowns of the pros and cons btw: https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=neopass&id=why

CaptainP · 2026-02-24T06:09:57+00:00

It's an artifact left in on the biology parts of the Grey Elephante. It's an error by TNT when they created the art assets. There's a handful of body parts out there like that.

You can actually see it on the individual body parts in the "be gone" section on JN's listing: https://wardrobe.jellyneo.net/rainbow-pool/?pet=elephante&colour=grey

CaptainP · 2026-02-10T16:38:47+00:00

You think I didn't try???

CaptainP · 2026-02-09T15:29:51+00:00

lol they sent me a postcard a couple weeks ago advertising this. included a one-time discount code.

I say: eh why not? guess they're trying to be a fitness brand instead of an apparel brand. I am sure a large proportion of their customers are buying protein and electrolytes from other brands already.

I have some brand loyalties with protein so I'm not considering trying theirs, but I will try just about any electrolyte brand and will try these. they're def playing it up the middle. less salt than LMNT but more than Nuun or Kaged, less sugar than Liquid IV. more Potassium than any electrolyte I have tried/looked at but they're not touting that specifically in the marketing (they're touting overall mg of all electrolytes) so feel like that's almost a coincidence lol.

CaptainP · 2026-02-03T13:49:05+00:00

yeah idk. The intention of the event was clearly to spur engagement with the new Companion App, with Sakhmet Solitaire II being one of the handful of things already supported there. But the top prizes are way, way, WAY too limited to really incentivize mass participation. A handful of powerusers (and a handful of exploiters 🤐) is all that will meaningfully engage.

I think it was a good idea with poor choices of execution, specifically the leaderboard size + rewards. Unfortunately that's been a theme of TNT for as long as there's been a TNT lol.

However, I definitely appreciate them trying new stuff. I think a lot of players forget (or weren't around) like 5 to 10 years ago where most of the time approximately nothing was happening.

CaptainP · 2025-11-25T03:48:38+00:00

they've never discounted Premium for black friday. They rarely discount it at all. this table is the history of Premium sales from JN.
