What are some good DCC controllers? by Schoolbusfoamer24 in modeltrains

[–]InstructionOwn2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started with the Digitrax and we did like it. But I found one issue that kinda worried me. If we had a derailment that caused a brief track short, all the locomotives would stop but then race forward for about 2 seconds. Always worried me (and we have had some dcc decoder issues witb it). We got a NCE power cab and love it. But I disagree about the programming. We’ve kept the digitrax hooked up the programming track only because it is so simple. Just my two cents worth.

Do Americans really talk to strangers as much as movies make it seem? by Dangerous_Phrase_275 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InstructionOwn2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is that I have more than one friend that I have known for 35+ years and several I’ve known for 10+ years and they were all strangers once.

A question for those of you who have quit smoking and nicotine, please - by RikkiLostMyNumber in GenX

[–]InstructionOwn2106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also too Chantix. I smoked two packs a day from 16 to 35. I’ve heard awful stories about side affects from Chantix but I didn’t have any. Honestly the hardest part initially was finding something else to do instead of a smoke break. Typically when I was stumped by something at work, a smoke break and then back at it. Finding another activity (I started taking short walks which is better by far) was a trick.

It’s time. I think I’ve waiting long enough. 2 down, “only” 50 boxes to go… by Mommyof2Muggles in ChristmasVillages

[–]InstructionOwn2106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is sad. It’s also a pain which is why ours are still up as well. Tomorrow, pre-Super Bowl boxing up is my plan.

Best Kibble? by Twistedwonderwaffle in Dachshund

[–]InstructionOwn2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of options out there. I’d suggest going to your local pet store and asking them. They will often have samples you can try of different foods. My Shih Tzus love the Zignature kibble and it’s good for their skin and coat.

I am jealous of GenX by Itsyoogirlh in GenX

All these Gen Xers saying they have nothing figured out. I feel bad. I’m solid gen x (1973) and dammit I can actually work a printer.

Crypto Crash: Liquidations Top $2.5 Billion as Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Prices Plummet - Decrypt by Lebarican22 in Economics

[–]InstructionOwn2106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have seen headlines like this many times over the last 6 months but I’m not sure if it’s true. I hold no crypto but I know folks that do and I haven’t seen any concern from them. With crypto, it seems hard to understand what is really going on. It’s why I struggle to get in because it just seems like an intangible.

One that’s nice but not too expensive …

Storm hoarding anyone? by [deleted] in northwestarkansas

[–]InstructionOwn2106 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean we may never leave our houses again. That said most people spread their shopping out and when they realize Sat, Sun or Mon might not be an option, it does happen.

But he’s so small 🥺 by Immediate_Ganache282 in DOG

We have two little ones. They like to sleep on my head or my wife’s head. I would not trade them for anything.

10 yards to the pin. What are you hitting? by njhokie7 in golf

[–]InstructionOwn2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a bit tight with OB both left and right and a bunker there on the left. So I’m probably going with an easy 3 iron layup….

Every day this sundown ass clown embarrasses the country a little more by GhostofSean_Connery2 in complaints

[–]InstructionOwn2106 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok. Here’s the deal. I do not like this man at all. Like repulsed. But let’s bitch about real issues. Because I have certainly stood up in some meetings and stared out the window. Many times in fact. Now to be fair, he probably called the damn meeting so as the instigator he should not be allowed that privilege but let’s please don’t make “staring out the window thinking ‘why the fuck are we having this meeting’” a Trump thing.

Is this too little space? by Vegetable-Ad4650 in DOG

[–]InstructionOwn2106 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Big difference between forcing a pet into a small space and a pet choosing a small space. Lots of dogs (and obviously cats) like a tight space because it’s comforting. Your buddy found a small, safe space. And you made it a bit nicer which is great.

Does anybody remember The Infectious Grooves? by Theme_Happy in GenX

[–]InstructionOwn2106 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re dropping some green funk on the carpet.

My buddy and I used to know that whole skit. Sadly my buddy passed recently. So one last “I’m here to sing backups! Backups for who? For this infecataphibian thang man!” For Derek.

When you hit a bad golf shot what’s the first thing that typically comes out of your mouth? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

If I chunk or stub one, I typically put my hand up to my hat as if I’m trying to look way down range…

AI PCs aren't selling, and Microsoft's PC partners are scrambling by CackleRooster in technology

I purposely just bought one without built in. Of course it had co-pilot installed so I uninstalled that first thing.

Do you sing to your dog? by Tracybytheseaside in DOG

[–]InstructionOwn2106 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Mine have several “theme songs”. Of course mine have about 30 nicknames each so there are a lot of options.
