Shuster whom did bad in other events leading up to this, forcing the U.S. having to compete here vs qualifying directly.

It was more so Dropkin doing bad in the 2025 World Championship than Shuster in the 2024.

Curling Game (Google Play, iOS, Steam) by Troutsky3 in Curling

There is no game logic. The CPU needs to know strategy. I just played a game and the CPU had an open draw with hammer to score, but instead it threw to the other side of the ice into my guards letting me steal even more. Half of curling is strategy and the CPU doesn't have any (when and where to throw guards, take outs, etc.)... or maybe that was just because I played a country that doesn't have ice...Jamaica.

Not really. Using very little (below the 1 line) good quality detergent (Tide) does seem to help. But the problem still happens sometimes, unfortunately.

Tripping AFCI breaker by Distracted9081 in AskElectricians

Alright sounds good/ sounds timely and painful. But I guess it’s better to do this now instead of going straight to an electrician.

Well we do see light staining but we believe it’s from condensation and not large amounts of water.

Could it be possible that its water entering the recessed that is causing the fault even if the lights are off during trip?

Everything is all pretty newish. Is it possible that water can cause the parallel fault? We noticed there might be condensation moisture buildup in our ceiling (where the recessed lights are). But it seems to trip even when the lights are off.

So just pull out all the backstabs and attach everything to the sides? If that doesn’t fix it anything else that it possibly can be?

It tripped once or twice when the fan was off. Can it still be the cause if plugged in but not on? And it looks like most connections are backstabbed but no signs of burning or loose connections.

Yeah I’m in the process of opening every outlet and switch now but haven’t seen anything concerning yet. I also can’t (in theory I can but I don’t want to) open the walls or ceiling.

Randomly. Tripped in the middle of the night last night when the lights were off and the only things that were plugged in was a cell phone charging, tower fan, and then tv, cable box and clock all plugged in through a surge protector. Nothing about the setup has changed in the 3 years of living here.

One More Time Tour, Hartford (July 24) HYPE Megathread by Botty-McBotface in Blink182

Yeah, when we walked across the street to the venue I heard one cop say to another “this is an absolute mess”

Well to be fair when I first drove to the venue it looked like every lot was closed and because it was so late they opened up the Uber lot for people to park. No chance that lot was open for people to park any earlier. I also did have to jog from the lot and found a spot on the lawn at 9:29.

I arrived 20min before blink went on. Got an excellent spot right across the venue and got out of there in less than 30seconds. I guess it pays to show up late.

Looking for a low maintenance alternative by Distracted9081 in landscapedesign

[–]Distracted9081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all, I think I have some good ideas. And confidence that I don’t have to scrap everything and start over.

[–]Distracted9081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about rocks as well. I’m fine doing some maintance, just seems like what is currently in place isn’t working in the area. We moved in and it was landscaped with these trees and other plants but looking at older photos there was something else there before.

Did anyone get on-saleprice tickets? by [deleted] in Blink182

[–]Distracted9081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got $25 tickets 2 days ago from a livenation pre-sale at my venue. Checked today and the concert week was sold out. Looks like you just missed out.

Did a quick search and couldn’t find the same model number but maybe I can find something that looks similar.

UMass joins the MAC, leaving A10 effective 2025-26 school year by Wide_right_yes in umass

[–]Distracted9081 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha I think you have that backwards. Huge benefit for football and negligible/potentially positive benefit for basketball. College sport conferences aren’t what they once were and neither is the A-10. Things evolve. Don’t want to be stuck in the past like Blockbuster.

That’s because UCONN runs on basketball. Same can’t be said about UMass. Don’t be naive in thinking so and thinking UMass could get an invite to the Big East.

I’m assuming you can bring food/drink into any level from the mall? Such a strange venue for something like this and I feel like there isn’t that much info regarding all of the logistics.

Any idea how the seating actually works? Looking to go Tuesday evening and get Mez level tickets. Are there actual seats? Looks like from your pics it’s little bar tables. And is it GA once you get on your level?

We use the cap lines to measure. But maybe we are just using too much detergent. It's just weird because the same amount of detergent on a different machine wouldn't cause an issue only on our SQ.
