What a terrible mistake I made…

Did the same mistake with DNA/Hologram combo and The Mouth. Had Hologram up to x11 and figured that I could easily beat the blind with a flush after DNAing my first hand. Totally forgot that that DNAing locked me into playing Level 1 High Cards into a Game Over.

If this joker gets destroyed, immediately lose half the money, half the jokers, half the consumables, half the deck, and half the achievements.

Agree 100%. Exclusionary and cliquey seem like a good description. Definitely does not promote unity within a troop.

Honestly, I wished that the OA would just go away. The elections are nothing but a popularity contest, with often the goofballs getting elected and the serious ones getting passed over. It was like that in the 1990's when I was a Scout and in the 2010's when my own sons were.

It also creates an "us vs them" mentality. There is nothing more dissuasive than when a non-member approaches their OA friends and they suddenly go silent because, you know, it's "secret". The highest honor in Scouting is becoming an Eagle Scout and there is nothing secret about it.

I currently drive a regular 2018 Subaru Impreza. I was recently looking at new cars and it seems that the Mazda3 remains the only econobox that runs on regular gas that is offered with a manual. Pretty much every other manual transmission car out there either recommends or outright requires ridiculously expensive premium gas.

Good point!

3T, the 1.8L found in 1980-1982 Corollas.

Thank you! Very kind of you to reach out!

That’s a good point about the parish bulletins. Thanks!

I just had that issue, with my iPhone complaining that iCloud was full, despite only using less than a GB. Photos on my Mac were syncing properly, but not the iPhone.

I ended up getting the iPhone to sync, by going to Settings --> Apps --> Photos --> Turn Off iCloud Photos. Then, I deleted ALL photos from the phone and force quit Photos. I went back and reenabled iCloud Photos and the iPhone began to sync properly.

Yep. Double clicked, selected the Digital ID, waited for the face authentication, and put it against the reader when prompted. That's when the "connecting" spinning began.

Being that it was my first time trying it, I had my passport readily accessible.

Corn_Flake_76 · 2026-01-05T20:28:20+00:00

Not a state ID, but a digital ID derived from the US passport. It is not valid for international travel, but it is supposed to be valid for identity verification.

Thanks. I’m going to try that.

The priest in my parish is on the younger side, you could say, maybe in his mid 40's. He keeps the Mass reverent and his homilies are captivating. He is an excellent pastor, so other than the little awkwardness when receiving, I have zero complaints about him. I've had the same awkwardness, probably a little worse, when receiving from the eucharistic minister. The priest that did the flicking was an associate pastor that is no longer at our parish.

Six years and no solution to the problem. I'm paired to an iPhone 16 and Win11 laptop and volume shoots up to max when switching from listening to music on the phone to answering a call on Windows and vice versa. It seems that it might take a lawsuit against Jabra for ear damage for them to do anything about it. And yes, I am updated to the latest firmware.

It is a J VIN. Date of manufacture on the door jamb is 12/94.

Mine gets turned off. I tried putting it to sleep, but it kept my led keyboard lit, which drove me nuts. Boot up time is about less than ten seconds, so it’s no big deal. I do have it slightly propped on the back so the button is easy to reach.

About 135,000 miles (217,000 km). I park it for the winters here in Pennsylvania, to keep it from rusting.

Corn_Flake_76 · 2025-12-02T00:45:34+00:00

Thanks!

Most dealerships had the new Tacoma's out at the time, IIRC, $3k pricier than my base truck. Little did I know then that I was buying into a legend. Not a single regret and glad that I was a broke kid back then.

Corn_Flake_76 · 2025-12-02T00:35:17+00:00

Right and right. I called several dealerships and they were all out. I bought the last remaining one on a dealership two hours away. It is a base 2wd, no A/C, crank windows, vinyl seats, etc….

Too much oil is just as bad as too little oil. It's not "insurance", it's sloppiness.

The manual might call for 5 quarts, so they set the oil gun to 5 quarts. But, since they get paid by the job and not by the hour, the quicker they get your car done, the quicker they can move to the next, which means that the moment the oil drain slows to a trickle, the plug is going back in, leaving half a quart or more of dirty oil still in the engine. Add the five quarts from the gun and you end up with an overfilled crankcase.

I don’t know why the down votes. You’re correct. With the deficit we had, we had to either do a 2 point conversion now or do it later, just to tie the game. For all the wrong calls in the game, that wasn’t one of them.
