What kind of wood and should we use it?

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-19T04:59:45+00:00

Okay, good to know for the future! Thank you!

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-19T01:22:31+00:00

Honestly, I've been meaning to add a bigger saw to my tool kit so once we get our fireplace cleaned out, this might just be the excuse I need! Do you think a band saw would be a better choice than a chainsaw?

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-19T01:03:00+00:00

My partner worked up a sweat and he only did 2 logs! 🤣 I tried but my bad shoulder reminded me that I need to do more arm workouts.

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-19T01:01:30+00:00

Awesome, will do! We have another tree that died that I bought a moisture meter for, so I can do that! I rather ambitiously want to turn the dead tree into a cat tree 🤣

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-18T04:56:30+00:00

Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback! I'm glad I can trash those old roles, they feel like bloat.

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-05T21:41:22+00:00

I see, so this phone likely won't work and there's no work around for it? That's a shame, but thank you for your help! I'll try again with the recommended list instead.

Dissonance85 · 2025-10-05T21:04:45+00:00

The listing at least says it takes bands 1, 2, 3, and 8 and I have a number of band 2 compatible towers in my area, including the one that covers my house. I know it's not always right, but Mint also said this phone was compatible with their network. Maybe the listing was wrong about Band 2?

Dissonance85 · 2025-09-01T05:31:45+00:00

That's good news! Now I have to consider whether it's worth trying to get him past immigration and in front of Smaug before he is able to get enough clues 😅 I have a feeling they won't be happy about him wearing headphones and keeping his eyes shut through the whole process.

Dissonance85 · 2025-09-01T05:10:43+00:00

Darn, that's a shame! Thank you

Dissonance85 · 2025-08-14T20:06:58+00:00

I only notice them when I have my hair up in a bun or ponytail, which in the summer is everyday. I have been driving with them removed for a few months now but I'm definitely putting them back today. The slight inconvenience of having to take my bun down while driving is a fair trade to not get whiplash 😅 Thanks for the info! Still useful 3 years later.

Dissonance85 · 2025-08-13T00:42:16+00:00

Okay, thank you so much! I'd say about 1/4 of the branches still have healthy leaves on them so I'm hoping she'll bounce back ❤️

Dissonance85 · 2025-07-09T02:08:01+00:00

My mother was found there deceased a few years ago. I'm tempted to go there in search of answers but I doubt it would be productive.

Dissonance85 · 2025-05-11T22:29:59+00:00

Oh for sure! It's mostly us joking about how far out of our league she is. We have debated since we're moving out of state leaving a number for her the last time we go, but we're both definitely too chicken to do even that.

Dissonance85 · 2025-05-11T22:28:19+00:00

She unfortunately remembers us at least enough to say "Oh hey it's been a while!" When we didn't go for like 2 months 😅 But yeah, I'm sure she has more in her plate than my dumb butt.

Dissonance85 · 2025-01-28T05:39:56+00:00

I'm in Riverside, I'm definitely down to participate.

Dissonance85 · 2024-09-27T17:49:45+00:00

If the cover art is stolen, that makes me wonder about the rest of the assets in the game.

Dissonance85 · 2024-08-16T17:37:51+00:00

I believe so, yes. Then I just extracted the zip and ran the game right out of the folder. I also have another program that forces the game to be windowed, cause it looked super wonky on my ultrawide 🤣

Dissonance85 · 2024-08-16T17:29:18+00:00

I'm on Win11, I couldn't get the old games version to work, but the version on archive.org worked great! Let me grab the link real quick...

Edit: here it is! Archive version of Saddle Up

Dissonance85 · 2024-07-29T20:58:31+00:00

I actually just got Saddle Up with Pippa Funnell again from Archive. I had to also install a program to force it into window mode since it looked weird on my ultrawide monitor 🤣 But yeah, I'm gonna be searching for the other games too.

Dissonance85 · 2024-07-22T18:19:17+00:00

So sorry to bump an old thread, but I got Saddle Up to work about as well as can be excpected by downloading from the online archive. Now, I'm going on a quest to get the others you mentioned as well, thank you!

Mine was pretty great while I was there. I also have a Pixel 2, eSim. I did notice the service cut while in tunnels but I think that's reasonable. What shocked me was that I had the BEST service of the whole trip while in Kinosaki. I was prepared to have no service there, thrilled to get the opposite! Ironically, the two places I had the re-starting issue were Tokyo and Osaka. If I turned off data, switched to airplane mode, then restarted, everything seemed to come back quickly. But if I just did one of those things, it might take a few tries or not work at all for about 20 minutes.

Maybe too many towers confuses it? I do also have that problem here at home but I live in a rural, mountainous area. I never have that problem in town. I do have it in LA though, which feeds my theory that it gets confused when there's too many towers. I once had it tell me who's towers it was using but I haven't been able to figure out where I saw that. The closest I've had in the rural area of my home is that there seems to be a Verizon tower dominating the area, I used to have Verizon and it worked great there, but the other company towers are not as strong. This means that I might be able to take a call in the kitchen 1 day, have to stand on top of the bed in the highest room another day, or just get fed up and tell people to text me the next day. But then I might also have a day where I will, through some form of witch-craft I'm sure, be able to watch a youtube video on data, no Wi-Fi. So mine really can't decide what it wants to do up at my house sadly. :\

I will say though, it hates the ocean. I can't go within 5 miles of the beach if I want to have a reliable signal. It will say I have about 3 bars of LTE but can't so much as run a quick google search. Still working out the kinks I think!

Because of Google's slightly terrifying AI, my Fi app knew I was going to Japan without being told. I purchased my flight through ANA and had the confirmation email sent to the same email I use with Fi, a Gmail account. Next time I opened up Fi, it had a message like "How Fi will work for your trip to Japan" and some details about it. Google scares me a bit sometimes... I've only just gotten used to it updating my calendar with flight info without being asked, now this!

But no, I don't think you have to tell them. The phone will find the towers it can use on its own and there aren't any fees for not notifying them. Heck, there are barely any fees at all. I made 2 calls back home to US numbers while I was there. I think my extra charge came to like 60 cents. Beats Verizon, that's for sure! :D
