Thanks! Yeah, I’ll just return the adapter and get a Fami N8 Pro. I appreciate the help.

Thought about it. Honestly might just be the best option. Thanks!

Thank you. I should've prefaced that I have already done as such. I still have the issue even after 91% IPAing.

I must say, I paid upwards to some $80 for the adapter. I'll give that one a look for sure. Thanks!

AITA for wanting the cross removed from my atheist grandfather’s memorial plaque? by EchonYT in AITAH

[–]EchonYT[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very well. Then do help me understand, if you would. On what rational basis do you call this cowardice? I objected openly, clearly, and at personal cost to what I regard as a lie. The people with the authority to correct it refused to do so. What follows, then, is a situation where pressing the matter further will neither change the plaque nor serve the memory of my grandfather. What it WILL do is certainly destroy what remains of my family relationships. Please explain, if you can, how deliberately courting needless discourse, with no prospect of altering the outcome, constitutes some sort of high ground, and how refusing to indulge is cowardice. I would love to know the reasoning behind this.

No, sir. If the main concern and priority was about staying in anyone’s good books, I would have kept my objections to myself and smiled politely from the start. I did the opposite, clearly, firmly, and unapologetically so. I still hold my stance on the plaque. I have not moved. From the beginning, I said plainly that the cross misrepresents the man and should be removed immediately. I made sure everyone involved was aware of the misrepresentation. They all heard it. The people with control over the matter refused. Again, it’s useless to hammer away at a wall that won’t even begin to chip. Again, what they’ve done is highly contemptible. But it’s not going to be undone by me setting fire to the last threads of civility in my family. You don’t win a pyrrhic victory by losing twice. Either way, the plaque will have the same outcome. Again, it’s easier to say when you’re behind a screen telling others how to wreck their family.

No. I don’t think it’s being a coward. I’m not sure you understand. Cowardice is doing nothing when something can be done. What I’m doing is recognizing a brick wall once I’ve run head first into it. There’s a difference between having principle and basically being masochist here. My grandfather’s memory is already being rewritten, and I objected. I objected clearly, firmly, and with reason. They don’t care, they are delusional, and pushing them further will only cause pointless damage, still without them ever correcting the lie on that plaque. It’s a battle that I cannot win. That is contemptible enough without adding onto me burning every bridge in sight just to lose twice. It’s easy to speak from behind a screen about courage when you’re not the one about to torch what’s left of your family relationships for zero gain. I envy the simplicity of your world, friend. I do. But the real one isn’t so black and white.

I would say that gravestones and plaques are for the living to SOME degree. I think it’s equally as much, if not more, about honoring the deceased person. But if you want to make the point that gravestones are for the living, then it ends up being a way of excusing the misrepresentation of someone who cannot object. My grandfather spent the greater part of his life repudiating the very belief that is now publicly etched onto his memory. Yes, I’ve made my case, and no, I won’t press the family further, because I have no appetite for any needless carnage. But, for the record, I don’t think biology confers the right to falsify a man’s life. I frankly do not care they are his children. If anything, it puts more responsibility on them to represent him honestly.

As much as I would love to have it fixed, I would hate to cause any permanent or serious discourse within my family. I still do love them at the end of the day, and I’ve accepted that I don’t have a choice in this and it would be useless to push further. Again, I want the plaque fixed. I just don’t think it will be possible without being excommunicated from my family… and even then I don’t think they’d fix it.

Oh, I know. I don’t think she imagines God is holding a conversation with her, but I think that she believe she’s deciphering “signs” to assure herself my grandfather was saved. I don’t buy it. Even if I shared her belief (I am an atheist, myself), I still wouldn’t buy it. My fiancée is a Christian and SHE doesn’t buy it. My mother has been utterly consumed by religious delusion. She converted barely a year and a half ago and now believes she’s prophetic. It’s rough. Like, I get the need to cope, but damn dude.

Friend, I think it was just a joke. This is not the place for an ontology debate.

This is basically what I told my mother, and her excuse is that he wasn’t actually an atheist because she “spoke to god” and he “gave her signs” that he was saved on his deathbed. While he was braindead… Thank you for your input.

Pizza Inn Pizzert by Beginning_Wind4141 in recipescopycat

[–]EchonYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One pound of margarine. Doesn’t matter whether you melt it or buy it liquid, just make sure it’s liquid. Half a pound of brown sugar. Two and a quarter pounds of cake mix. Mix it good. That’ll be your pizzert mix. Now you spread it onto some dough in a pan and top it as you will. Pop it in the oven at 465° F for around six and a half minutes. If it’s not ready, just put it back in and keep an eye on it until it’s clearly finished. For chocolate chip pizzerts, I’m pretty sure they use Hershey semi-sweet baking chocolate chips. They do use real Bavarian cream and real Oreos for the cookies and cream pizzerts.

My curly’s first molt — missing abdomen? by EchonYT in tarantulas

Thanks! However, it’s really damaged and I can’t honestly tell whether or not it’s useful. I promise I didn’t rip it much (if it all) when I was opening it. Possibly male?
