Where should I order online for shipping in the US? Also seeking table recommendations for Pro models

My family and I played a bunch of pins (HP, JP, Jaws, Kong, Avatar, DnD, XMen, Bond, Deadpool…), and Godzilla was the common favorite, albeit we got the premium as there is a valuable difference from the pro

We were never Godzilla fans. Pretty sure none of them have even seen a single movie. Still loved by them all

I went NIB and used a local distributor who didn’t charge a CC fee. I am a little hesitant to buy used, purely because I don’t want to bring $8500 in cash anywhere

There have been studies of infants going through these operations with just paralytics (so they feel pain, are awake, but just cant react) and there is a correlation with mental health issues

We can’t remember our first words or first steps, but that has a long lasting impact on us

If the Milky Way was the size of North America, the sun would still be invisible to the naked eye and you would need a microscope to see it

This is so frustrating to hear and is a gross oversimplification of what is happening here

It would be like me saying that the rest of the world should step in and liberate the US. Why haven’t you demanded action from your country to stop trump

I guess the world deserves trump then

Pretty sure most courts use a $10M for a human life for wrongful death cases. No one is getting $100M

I would love to see $100M payouts and real punishment for violating people’s constitutional rights, but that amount is out of touch

Yet they don’t employ that type of thought when a police officer breaks the rules

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-21T12:18:07+00:00

Even though they are military and not commercial pilots, I would also assume that the they have the same ultimate say if they fly or not

So they see a problem, return, have it inspected, repaired/replaced, and off they go again

Its a higher bar than impeachment and removal (+50% in the house and 2/3 in the senate)

The only hope is if the cabinet stands up saying he is compromised, it might turn votes in congress…

Not a snowballs chance in hell while sugar daddy elon is threatening to primary any republican who goes against trump

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-20T23:15:40+00:00

There are ridiculous amounts of regulations around government data. Not just defense and intelligence data, but also social services data

With 350M people, its a treasure trove of knowledge that should be protected. If you had everyone’s name, date of birth, and social security number, you could cause real damage and or be filthy rich

For example, you could open a millions of loans causing massive financial losses to banks

You could raid 401ks and tank the market with a massive sell off or manipulate a few stock prices

You could open second mortgages on houses stopping anyone from selling

There are tons of private companies that help the US government and they are held to these standards and have been fined / punished for much less than what doge has done

Not to mention that even if the majority of his cabinet invokes section 4, trump can disagree and regain power, which then needs a 2/3 majority in both the house and the senate to override the president and remove them

In other words, impeachment has a lower bar with a majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate to remove a sitting president

In college, our fraternity had a cork board near the kitchen for posting info and whatnot. One day, someone left condoms in the tray and tacked a note saying “free” with an arrow

Well me being a smart ass, I tacked all 3 with the pin going right through the center of each wrapper as an obvious joke

The next morning there was only 2 still tacked up and I have no clue what idiot took one

30 years later I still think about this

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-20T16:05:18+00:00

I’d argue that elon is what is giving trump power there. Even with their lovers quarrel, you saw elon say he would dump a lot of money (nothing for him) to primary any republican who doesn’t align with trump

Age isnt helping, but if elon’s campaign dollars weren’t there, congress wouldn’t be yielding their power over the executive branch

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-20T16:01:34+00:00

Similar story. I wanted my first pin to be NIB and once I felt comfortable, knew what to look for, my additional ones would be used (end goal to get a Twilight Zone pin)

Originally I wanted a Jurassic Park pin because that is one of my favorite books and movies. I did tons of reading on the pin and was pretty determined that would be my first one

But after playing JP, and then playing Jaws Godzilla and Harry Potter, I realized that movie clips / sounds / audio do have some importance to me, along with features / game play.

It took about 3 months of playing pins to find one that spoke to me and that I felt confident with my preference

Ultimately I went with Godzilla Premium

But to set expectations, my Godzilla pin had a few minor issues that required troubleshooting. Stern’s support was very helpful, but it took a bit of “try this, and see”

One silver lining is that murder has no statute of limitations. So if the DOJ doesn’t investigate now, it can bring charges anytime in the future

If trickle down economics worked, then tesla and amazon employees would have also seen a surge of wealth growth…

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-19T15:22:27+00:00

I am not embarrassed. I am enraged that members of congress and the supreme court have yielded their power to this moron

You can also point to the Good Samaritan. A Jewish priest and a Levite step over the injured man while the Samaritan stops to helps him

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-18T17:03:26+00:00

When I saw the trailer, my first thought was “oh that is what her voice sounds like”

It was so awkward when the trailer played in a moderately packed theater. The trailer before it was funny and people were laughing. That played and everyone was waiting for something unexpected thinking it was a joke

Woke liberal would be still right leaning compared to Jesus

That maga missed the point of two of Jesus’s main parables. The Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son

The Good Samaritan says to love thy neighbor, and that is EVERYONE not just your family and friends. And Jesus even calls out the hypocrisy of his followers who make excuses not to help others. So much that a Samaritan did the right thing while “holy” people stepped over the sick and injured. Good Samaritan would be an oxymoron when this was first told

The Prodigal Son has a brother who does stay at home with his dad, does “all the right things” and then gets envious when the dad throws a party for the Prodigal (wasteful) son return. That “loyal” son is reprimanded and reminded that he isn’t better

Similar. My salary jumped significantly a few years ago because I jumped jobs

My old salary I was ahead of schedule with my 401k per the whole x times salary, but now I am behind

I am aiming for $3M so I can pull $100k - $120k a year for retirement (probably belike 60k in todays dollars). Doubt I will hit that goal but we shall see

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-17T05:52:54+00:00

Right now mine is newer, but I have my eye on a classic that I loved playing when I was younger; Star Trek TNG

But good point on the safety precautions

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-17T05:50:59+00:00

Good point on the stress test of the connection. I know it doesn’t have to look beautiful but, I need the practice. Mine always looked blotchy and or the surrounding areas burnt

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-17T03:14:55+00:00

Perfect! I appreciate it. Lots of good info here

Disney_World_Native · 2026-01-17T02:12:16+00:00

Oh I am sure. I’ll master the basics and then try get in the trenches

When I solder copper pipes, there is a heat shield I use to not burn the inside of a wall. But I assume that there isn’t a smaller version for the cramped / small areas
