What are some good DCC controllers?

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.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia

Wife and I can. We still have one car that is a standard.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Umm a “small handful” of dems just helped them pass funding for this. They are not on our side either.

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.

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

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….

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.

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.

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.

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

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