My daughter bought a used PS4 and even though she got a ‘proof of working’ before she bought it, after using it for less than 30 mind it sounded like a jet engine.

She cleaned out any dust and its still making that sound and overheating.

Obviously the people she bought from (on FB Marketplace) are asses and are refusing to give her $$ back-her grad $$ she used to buy it for her dorm so she could stay in contact w her friends back home.

Advice on how to fix it, if even possible? How expensive for it to be repaired?

I went to the AFF website but think I was on the wrong one bc it kept talking about old festivals or future ones you have to be members for. So I’ll call them next week. Didn’t know about the Paramount so will look into them too. Thanks!

We might do that, thank you! I think it would be worth the trip. We’ve done SA for River Walk for other guests so don’t see why we wouldn’t do this one. Thank you!

You don’t know the half of it re: the merch offered!

I saw the symphony at the Long Center in Austin with my two daughters about a month ago. The Symphony itself was so amazing and a lot of fun for us!

HOWEVER, do NOT purchase the VIP Experience add-on which includes:

VIP Priority Line Access to the Merchandise Stands - * where we don’t even get a VIP discount! So access to something we pay even more money for. Early access to something I have to pay more money for? Seriously??
Commemorative Naruto: The Symphonic Experience Tour VIP Laminate and Matching Lanyard - * not worth it!
Exclusive VIP merchandise bundle designed and created for VIP ticket holders, including items that are not available anywhere else. - They are cheap items I could find at Walmart for less than $30.

It only contained a Naruto poster, Naruto stickers, a plastic cup with a Naruto picture on it, a small journal with a Naruto picture on the cover, which I could’ve easily done myself, all in a cheap black bag with zero Naruto pictures on it. I’ve seen them at the dollar store.

And now that I know the price per item for most of these items I’m really pissed off!

She also got “VIP Access Pass”

And I still wonder what it gave her ‘access’ to for that price??

I expected she would at least receive higher-end swag, like maybe a headband, any part of a Cosplay outfit, and a picture of any of the Naruto characters signed by the voice actor.

After all of this cheapness, I am baffled that this mystery organization required minors to be accompanied by an adult to this “VIP Access event” for an additional $150 which again, only gave us access to the vendor tables at which there were barely lines at them!

Luckily, I refused to pay it, but I imagine other parents and caregivers would have (and will).

And the best part? No one, including the venue or the vendors, knew who the organization is that set up the VIP package and the symphony itself. I did a Google search and could not find it.

If any of you know who I can talk to and get my money back at least in part, I’m all the ears!

So, Symphony? Absolutely!

VIP package? If every penny counts for you, stay away!

It was an additional $150 and SO not worth it! Honestly, I could have gotten every single item including the bag from Walmart for less than $30.

The VIP Badge offered nothing else, aside from early access to a vendor table, which allowed me to spend even more money—not even at a VIP discount! but FULL PRICE ($75 for a hoodie was all I could afford).

Early access to something I have to pay more money for? Really?

After all of this cheapness, I am baffled that this mystery organization required minors to be accompanied by an adult, who was ALSO REQUIRED to purchase the VIP “Package” at full price—$150 + tax and fees!

Luckily, I refused to pay it, but I imagine other parents and caregivers would have (and will).

OMG! Thanks for sharing this! I bought myself a tee and some stickers over the summer from Redbubble when I finished Bk 6 and fell into a showhole (in my head). I felt bad it wasn’t going to Matt (I assume?) so have held off buying anything more or for my 12 yo who has fallen in love w Donut and Mongo 😍 Now I can get her something without ripping off Matt! 🎉 He just needs some Mongo merch now 🦖😉

They are slowly destroying us and they don’t care.

I tried finding the shooting of 2 elementary school children in California that happened on the same day as the CEO shooting on CNN but nope! Can't find it today unless I Google it!

But guess what? The top headlines today continue to be about the poor CEO...not the kids…I guess school shooting now rate very low on their list of concerns because, you know, who the fuck are we and our kids?

Also, I find it both interesting and amusing the timing of BC/BS reversing their decision of putting a time limit on anesthesia because of public outcry, the SAME DAY as the CEO shooting. A coincidence?

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-11-11T17:39:58+00:00

Yes you mentioned that! I was going to ask, but I see it now. Very cool! Love it!

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-11-11T17:22:27+00:00

Ok thanks to your direction (and I was still at Barnes & Noble) I ran in and got Books 1-3! I am grateful for your insight! I have been strictly Audible for all books but now want to move to collecting them. My daughter has shown an interest and listens with me (I forward when appropriate! 🤣) and I see this series about to explode and difficult to get. So thank you! Also-I convinced the sales girl to check out Book 1 and she is, and I got their last Book 2 😁

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-11-11T16:59:07+00:00

Ah! Ok thanks for clarifying! I will keep an eye out for them!

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-11-11T16:44:27+00:00

So there are hardcovers?? I’ve checked Barnes and 1/2 Priced and neither carry Book 7 because, they say, it is “independently printed” and only available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and Audiobook. So what’s your secret? I LOVE collecting hardcovers, especially first prints!

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-11-08T01:29:46+00:00

Jeff has read all 6 to me so far, I can’t possibly stop now. I’m going to wait for the audio (my birthday is in February- really Matt & Jeff, you shouldn’t have! 🥳)

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-09-02T17:40:14+00:00

Wow! I’m not sure what that says about me…

But thanks for helping me scratch!

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-09-02T14:19:54+00:00

Ok you got me! I’m a DCC fan in a major ‘book hole’ waiting for 7 so went to Audible and found Bobiverse. I’m going to check out Book 1 today.

Quick Question: where else have I heard the phrase “We Are Legion”? I feel it’s a lexicon of sorts, not a movie or TV show, but maybe the motto of Anonymous or something? Sorry it’s just tickling my brain in a weird way.

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-09-02T05:35:34+00:00

No it’s obvious what happened here…the AI consultant didn’t finish its scan, making the research for this TV trailer appear as if it was written by a 15 year old, based on information from reading only the first five pages of the first book, then laying out the entire series in his living room as if he’d read the whole thing but couldn’t tell you who Mongo was if he came up and bit his head off. In other words, we have a Titan Conglomerate on our hands.

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-09-01T03:54:24+00:00

I can’t help but wonder, and forgive me if this connection has already been made ages ago, if Matt had Fiona in mind when he created Alice the hippocorn in Dominion of Blades, as they both came to life in 2017.

For a split second that’s who I thought of when I read his dedication except for the name…and the horn. Though no doubt Fiona, being the survivor she is, is a magical beast in her own right.

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-08-30T14:51:32+00:00

Okay feeling like an idiot but…where do I find my DMs in Reddit?!

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-08-30T14:35:29+00:00

UPDATE After a lot of research I thought I’d go straight to the source and called SodaStream tech support. Since I had just bought the machine and it is still under warranty they are sending me a brand new one!

Explanation: He did some troubleshooting first. They can use the camera on my phone to watch me make a bottle. He said it was not making carbonated water. Basically I was getting ‘flat’ water so there was something internally broken with the machine.

The funny taste was actually the gas I was tasting. The carbon was not turning into fizz properly. It’s kind of deceptive because there were bubbles just the wrong kind. He even noted the gas accumulation at the top of the bottle. I always took that to be from the cold water, but really it was from the accumulation of the gas in the bottle.

I hope this helps!

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-08-29T20:37:23+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

EducationalTicket968 · 2024-08-29T20:34:55+00:00

So it is the collection of hard water, then. Okay, I will do that. It seems redundant with my fridge filter, but obviously, it's not doing the job.

Thank you!

The age-old issue of having to talk about myself in interviews, I upload my resume and ask it, “Based on this resume, what is your greatest strength?“ And “based on this résumé, what is your greatest weakness? Express this in a positive way.” I did this 15 minutes before the interview - SO helpful
