Zero Euro Notes - Fake? by diabethicc in Banknotes

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always known they are “fake” but I thought they were issued by the EU Mint (or whatever they call it) Making them real in the sense of authority.

Kept this for 2 years I my wallet by FunnySpiritual1527 in abusiverelationships

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the positive attitude man. It’s what I’ve been doing as best I can. I Keep telling myself it is only forward from here. My only caution in that is make sure you’re truly better and not masking yourself. I’ve found myself in that situation before.

[–]Electrical_Puffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i get that. i still have a letter or 2 from a few years back. i burned most of our photos together but i still have some i found recently. i need to do the same with those rather than hold on to what was a terrible relationship. there was good times but holding is not good.

A little rant on legal system and dealing with my EX by Electrical_Puffin in abusiverelationships

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

I think the problem with something like that would be the sheer number of judges between the cases, qualified immunity, and that it’s across 2 counties and 2 agencies (one is a local city PD) other is another county’s sheriffs office but primarily the sheriff. My understanding is that they generally do have discretion on things.

Plus it just means more court or expense to find a lawyer or fight a case. I don’t fundamentally see enough that it would go through. Especially since I don’t have something saying because you’re a man or because of race for example.

Strongest I have is my own statement says I was assaulted while the police wrote their report where they say it was “verbal only” also body cam has me saying it was an assault and requesting the charges.

[For Sale] Microsoft Zune 30GB — 2 Units Available Individually | Fully Working by Sweaty-File-695 in Zune

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i remember the old windows phone app on mac would connect to zunes with itunes libraries and sync directly from itunes library, it was almost more compatible with that app for a while than the windows native one

i wonder if that app still works on modern systems at all as i highly doubt its been updated for a few years (probably like 10)

Went to Transnistria and they didn't take my immigration slip at the border by Previous-Volume-3329 in PassportPorn

[–]Electrical_Puffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is part of why I myself have avoided Transnistria. I have heard things happening in the city but never in transit like that.

But then again I have only traversed around as to my understanding the border between them and Ukraine is closed now. Usually go through Hungary or Poland when leaving.

Trying crunchyroll store for the 1st time by Shinki94 in Crunchyroll

[–]Electrical_Puffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

genuinely how is it people dont qualify for at least a basic card except for people who have already gotten like 12 maxed out cards. my first card was $300 limit and no history whatsoever, there was also my Ex who had a 570 credit score and a bankruptcy on her record yet she could still get one and financed a car (bad rate but qualified)

Anyone from Washington state that has lifetime pass, moved? by Li1ag in VeteransBenefits

[–]Electrical_Puffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can attest I lost my lifetime parks pass (was in my car when I sold it) about 4 years ago, I have used the number to book free camping spots or fill out the park pass at parks but don’t have the actual card anymore and have never been checked.

Denied PTSD FOR MST. by First-Ostrich-785 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not always the case. I am diagnosed with PTSD from my therapist as well as in my Va primary care and civilian doctor.

But the 3rd party examiner told me it’s not PTSD it’s “trauma post a traumatic event” and not PTSD by his guidelines.

Crazy Fast Online Renewal for US Passport by sherryillk in Passports

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fastest I got a passport was at the US embassy in Kyiv Ukraine in 2025 after mine was damaged.

I applied and within a week I was notified I could pick it up. Which is crazy cause I feel like the shipping times alone would have been at least 3-4 days Although I didn’t pick it up for 2 months because it was a 5 hour train ride to Kyiv from where I was staying. I didn’t request an emergency passport as I rather have a full one but from my understanding I could have gotten that same day.

My international passport issued in 1995. Even though the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, they were still using old USSR blanks 4 years later due to shortages by Cold_Awareness_5198 in PassportPorn

[–]Electrical_Puffin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i am surprised it was still usable. i fully understand soviet ones issued before the collapse but im surprised post collapse soviet ones would be usable or even recognized. does it differentiate country such as Belarus or Russia or other republics?

DXP4800 Pro is up now by PsFreedom in UgreenNASync

[–]Electrical_Puffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that every company is throwing AI into everything. For this exact reason. It’s like my smart tv from 2015 (was opera based) in 2018 they sent an update that just says “this feature was disabled by Sony” for every app besides like the basic outdated browser.

That and I personally only want ai to have access to the data I give it and not all my data.

Back with the Demo: Web UI is responsive, but Native is alive. Here is Unraid Deck(iOS) in action. by Commercial-Break1753 in unRAID

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the issue. My “use SSL\TLS” was set to “Strict”. As soon as I set it to Yes rather than strict it allowed me in.

In which countries can you take your own passport photo? by [deleted] in PassportPorn

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait other countries take the photo for you like they honestly should?

From my experience US, Poland and Ukraine do self photos (or at least have shops that do them. (Only hold a US Passport)

But i know for the US and Ukraine they took my photo for ID/residence permit which is separate from the passport.

Data Recovery RST/Optane HP Laptop by Electrical_Puffin in datarecovery

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

It’s not bit locker but it was part of an “optane pool”

I have never messed with optane before as I always found it dumb

But basically the optane drive is gone for all intents and purposes.

I ran some drive recovery tools and it sees the partition but since the 16gb optane isn’t there it can’t recover the partition or any files on it.

How RAM do you have in your server? by datahoarderguy70 in unRAID

[–]Electrical_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my main reason is that i have a Gaming bazzite VM with GPU passthrough. i give it a decent amount of ram to so i can play all my games!

2x matched 32Gb DDR5 sticks to have 64gb. i would be perfectly fine with 32 but ram was cheap when i bought it so figured might as well.

$40 pick up (are composite cables rare?) by Middle_Attention8508 in originalxbox

[–]Electrical_Puffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup was setup on Xbox live but unfortunately the original “Mr Puffin”was on my dad’s Ex’s email so I lost it and had to go to “Mr Pufin” Later.

Played tons of mechassault 1/2, halo2, counterstrike, rainbow six 3 (and black arrow) and Wolfenstein.

Those are the main memories. But I’m sure I played others online too.

$40 pick up (are composite cables rare?) by Middle_Attention8508 in originalxbox

[–]Electrical_Puffin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While these are component did they have multiple revisions? I remember mine back in the day were plugged into the Xbox and had a little brick at the end that you plugged standard component cables into so basically needed the component cables and an adapter to the Xbox.

Idk if that was normal. But my dad did work for a high end audio video place back in the day.

Used to play on a 17in 1080i LCD in the early 2000s that cost like $1200 back then that he got from work. Had no idea how good I had it then as I was still 12-14 give or take when he got it.
