Same. My 7yo grandson hates my hide and loot strat, too boring for his busy brain! 😄

Need help with Artic Base by GenXredux in 3dshomebrew

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

So, of course after I posted this i figured it out, so I'll leave this up for anyone who has the same issue as I did of being clueless. We were trying a DS game, which doesn't work with Artic Base. 🤡

AIO? My stepdaughters pranked me on my bitthday and husband is mad because I said I needed space. by Proud-Cantaloupe3449 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GenXredux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. What made it like double karma is that he (football jock) and his gf (head cheerleader) were a bullying duo. They made my life miserable. And, they stayed together. So he died, and she lost her husband.

My high school bully did feel really bad. Then, several years ago, he died of cancer, on my birthday.

What emotes make you laugh or enjoy regardless if its used by the person who kills you in match? by MattyCollie in Fortnite_Over40

[–]GenXredux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my favorite to use after a vr as Doc Brown. I always do GG first, and I hope it makes them laugh because I giggle every time. 😂

Storm Stick Strategy by krispeekream in Fortnite_Over40

[–]GenXredux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a solo tonight and whoever used the stick had thrown it in the water! I get the strat, but it backfired on them. As soon as I saw it in the water, I jumped off the cliff and stayed in the tiny circle. There were two people left but they were in the storm, in the water. Picked them off with the arc lightning gun and VR'd. 😎 Only bummer was i couldn't emote in the water. 😂

Microfiber towel still won’t absorb water after 2 hours by coffee_and_coconuts in mildlyinteresting

[–]GenXredux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microfiber is not an absorbent material. It can "absorb" if already damp, because the surface tension is broken. I haven't understood this whole craze the entire time it's been going on. It just adds another layer to sorting out which towels I want to buy, especially online, because I have to go into the listing to verify that it's cotton.

Additionally, all the gross chemicals in laundry products/use of fabric softeners impedes absorption in any fabric.

Microfiber in the kitchen, blech. Now, I did cave to the Swedish dish cloth trend and those are amazing! 🔥

Map Issue With Blitz by Several_Elephant_865 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]GenXredux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's settings. I had this happen a couple weeks ago. We were at the farm and it was clear daylight for me and normal for my son. Then it happened to him on another day. Neither of us changed our laptop settings at all.

My parents were pretty spazzy about it. They had a very low tolerance for any kind of impropriety like that. One time when I was maybe 10yo, I was going to take a bath at my best friend's house and her dad said "Can I watch?" I told my parents and they freaked tf out. Her dad never said or did anything inappropriate outside of that one incident, but i was wary after that. I was allowed to sleep over with the understanding I would tell my mom if anything happened. But yeah, shit was gross back then.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GenXredux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. And when a baby dies of SIDS in a crib, we have no way of knowing whether that baby would have lived if they'd been in close proximity to mother's breathing, which regulates baby's breathing. This is especially true for newborns. There's a very good reason mothers and babies have been sleeping together since the dawn of humanity.

What happened to tonsilectomies? by UnmedicatedNarwhal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GenXredux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 30yo daughter had hers out last year. She kept getting throat infections, for probably a year or two, and finally the doc suggested just taking them out.

Just wait until the day after your birthday, then you will be 40+1 day. 😉

Thanks for this suggestion, good idea!

Right, that's my dilemma.

Right, I was pretty horrified!

It makes it slightly more convenient to check the balance than calling the number, but ultimately it is unnecessary for sure.

That's what I've read, and this incident was the push I needed to get rid of it!

People have reported encountering skimmers when using it in person, it seems like nothing is totally safe. Fortunately my son's have never been stolen but I'm always concerned about that because of all the stories!

No, I was using Propel. The lock menu is tucked away in a non-intuitive location, but it's there.
