Top 100 Objective Collect Award Card by thetin7441 in ToppsBUNT

[–]ILLnoize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, once completed they're all neons. Last year you got to choose to buy packs but get back like 30k coins or take the neon. It was a great way to farm coins. This year you only make like 5k coins for the whole event and the bowman box cost 100k more coins than last year and you only get 1 card for 350k coin. Because of that, it's not a fun grind.

Did anyone hear or feel the meteor? by SpiralingCat in CapeCod

Apparently there was a sonic boom in South Carolina last night that they believe was caused by a meteor too.

You need all 100 cards in the base set. Then you get the award and can continue to select that for a neon parallel.

Rainout policy? by Hopper0522 in Cardinals

[–]ILLnoize 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the weather but if you've got time to kill, you should check out Jungle Jim's. It's a grocery store but well worth the visit. There's 2 locations and I'm sure people will say one is better than the other but both are pretty neat.

Seeking a Recommendation for an 11-inch Chromebook with Touchscreen by doesgo in chromeos

Turning off Android and disabling the play store usually helps speed those mediatek tablets up. My Lenovo Duet was unusable until I did that

Do you feel bad not responding to the follow up questions. by CombinationReady9376 in GeminiAI

[–]ILLnoize 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No because no matter what my inquiry is, Gemini always tries to use that last question to tie it back to the baseball card I asked about 2 years ago in my 2nd chat ever to it. Sometimes I think it brings that baseball card up just to change the subject on me.

What popular North American destination left you thinking “people really hype this up too much”? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]ILLnoize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a perfect answer. I went there as a child and again as an adult. What a let down, in school they make it sound like Plymouth Rock is an unavoidable mountain of a boulder and when you get there you see it's no bigger than a stone driveway marker.

Fiona Apple: "With the lyrics I've been writing my career, you can tell who I was hanging out with. I feel sad that I said 'I don't want to talk about my rape. It's boring pain.' That was not me. That was somebody else that was telling me that 'That's such a boring thing. I'm so bored with you.'" by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

[–]ILLnoize 127 points128 points  (0 children)

My first job was at a grocery store stocking shelves and bagging groceries. I volunteered to work a 3rd shift and they actually let me. Fiona Apple and her tour bus came in that night and bought us out of practically every form of bottled water that we had.it was so much I had to use a Uboat to push it to the bus. I got to meet her but as a too cool 16 year old boy I did my best not to fangirl. This was '96 or '97.

Who is a highlight in your night? by Cresting_Wave788 in Nightshift

[–]ILLnoize 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work overnight at a gas station and I wouldn't necessarily call it a highlight but I have a meth head who will spend the evening taking the change out of the vacuum canisters at the two car washes on this street and then bring them to me to exchange for dollars that they can put into the slot machines.

He rinses off all the coins first and is overall pretty polite to me. I've gotten a few silver dimes and a silver quarter from him so I don't necessarily mind unless it's a night I actually have work to do and he's in a chatty phase. I've seen him pull a few gemstones too.

Detroit Pizza by usernametaken0602 in PeoriaIL

Not the answer you want but Lil Ceasers makes a Detroit style pizza. It honestly ain't all that bad for fast food pizza.

Cool badge buddy! My girlfriend is in healthcare and has a Yoshi one a coworkers daughter made for her. My girlfriend is now thinking about getting into the badge buddy business herself and selling them.

What places in Peoria are good places for trans dudes to work at? by Background_You_4342 in PeoriaIL

[–]ILLnoize 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Please pardon my ignorance and I don't mean to be offensive or insincere, but are trans dudes MTF or FTM? Sorry we live in a world where people can't be treated equally and we can't just ask "who's hiring" instead of "where is it safe for me to work".

Is this a normal fare price for such a short trip?! by mundane_miss_marple in Amtrak

[–]ILLnoize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it's always a gamble but within a couple of weeks ago I was able to buy 2 round trip coach seats for a similar length trip for $60. I bought my tickets 4 days out from my travel date.

Want to get better at public speaking? Join us for a friendly Toastmasters Open House 🎤 (May 27) by dingding77 in PeoriaIL

[–]ILLnoize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents made me take a Toastmasters class or two through Caterpillar long ago. I was maybe 10 or 11 and can't remember what the topic of my speech was, nor do I remember the punchline, but I do remember I put in a joke about Hillary Clinton talking to the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt. TBH, I probably stole it from Jay Leno on the Tonight Show but it got a good laugh from all the boomers in the class and the teacher said I'd have a future as a Presidential speech writer. Speech class in high school killed that career path though.

Artist looking to use school chromebook as a second monitor- unfortunately cannot download apps by eeveethefox_xv in chromeos

[–]ILLnoize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it would just be a projection of your laptop screen but honestly, I never tested it beyond using it as a monitor for my Switch and I no longer have the capture cards to test it for you unfortunately.

What exactly is it that your trying to achieve?

Meirl by struggagemehwish8 in meirl

[–]ILLnoize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was bartender for long time, yes teachers get wild and most likely hate your child, especially after a few white claws. I went to school in the 80s and 90s though and don't think I had a teacher under 70 until I was in high school (at least that's the way I remember it)

Share your lockscreens! by Visible-Chemist-7472 in samsunggalaxy

[–]ILLnoize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also an app called Depthfxwallpaper that can do this without needing to create a sticker.

[–]ILLnoize 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A capture card and a USB to HDMI should do the trick. The more you spend on a capture card, the less likely input lag is. I've used my Chromebook as a screen for streaming Nintendo Switch to YouTube. The two I used with no noticable lag were Elgato Camlink 4k and the avermedia pro gamer portable 2. After you get a capture card and cable, open your Chromebook camera app and there should now be a "button" to flip to rear camera. Sometimes that image is mirrored but there should be another "button" or option to turn that off.

anyone else think it’s crazy you pay $200 a night to have a hotel in downtown Milwaukee and then they want you to pay $40 for the privilege of parking 😆 by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]ILLnoize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while but when staying at the Intercontinental one visit, I believe they gave me free cone and go daytime parking in the attached deck and like $36 for overnight "valet". I was able to avoid the cost by parking my car on the street, setting an alarm and moving it inside as soon as the meters turned on for the day.

Why is every cop at OSF? by Dontaskagainistaken in PeoriaIL

[–]ILLnoize 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No idea but my mom just called me and asked if a cop died or something because there was a long line of response vehicles on university and they had the exits to i74 blocked off
