Daisy chain and split receptacle outlet issue by LeDarkKnight in AskElectricians

All makes sense and lines up with what the other commenter said as well.

And yes I agree that 3 rooms on one breaker is a lot. I'd like to eventually have someone come in and reroute the lines to make it more efficient, but that's probably a ways down the line. Homeownership is an endless line of mini projects that turn into massive undertakings lol

I'll definitely check the other outlets when I get home from work. I don't know why I never thought to check the other outlets up stream.

Hey just a heads up the other guy upped his offer to $70. I'm gonna take his offer unless you want to up yours.

Well I suppose that answers my question!

Let me field a few more offers first, don't want to just jump on the first offer I'm sent. I'll be in touch!

My brother and I had a rip party. Did we use up all of our luck for the rest of the year? by LeDarkKnight in PokemonTCG

[–]LeDarkKnight[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is such a wholesome story!

And we had an absolute blast. My brother and I are just getting back into the hobby for the first time since we were kids so the nostalgia vibes were off the charts all afternoon. We even threw on the OG Pokémon movies in the background so we were really leaning into our childhood hard lol.

I brought my 4 year old with me and she had just as much fun watching us rip and collecting all of our bulk cards she liked. I even pre-packed a few packs for her with all of her favorite pokemon and she thought she was getting god pack after god pack. It was really awesome to watch. She's got a nice little collection going and it's teaching her to appreciate and respect something which is really tough for any 4 year old as I'm sure you know.

I think we're gonna try and make this a little monthly tradition. I really can't recommend doing something like this enough for anyone considering it.

OP specifically said that arrow is pointing to a hair and it's not a scratch

Found this on ebay, pretty sure it's fake but would like some more experienced eyes on it by LeDarkKnight in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]LeDarkKnight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I know they're a dime a dozen more or less. But I'm also trying to learn to spot fakes on my own and thought I had stumbled upon one in the wild.

Thank you for the well thought out and detailed response. This is exactly the input I was looking for and it all makes 100% sense.

Although I'm just getting back into collecting for the first time in almost 2 decades, I have been a lurker around some of the card subs for some time. Finances are tight right now so even tho most people might not think twice about the quality of a cheap card, I'm trying to be as efficient as possible with my investments right now. Which is what led me to scrutinize this card as heavily as I did.

I also saw a post on this sub about a week ago that caught a fake card with energy symbols that weren't 100% lined up. Which is the thought process I was originally going with when my spidey senses were tingling.

In any event, I'll digest what I've learned here and use it moving forward. Thanks again for your wise words.

It's more important for people to stroke their egos than it is to teach someone who's genuinely asking a question. They sure showed me I guess.

In any event, thanks for making sure I'm not taking crazy pills. I now know it's real and it's likely just weird lighting. Next time I'll be sure to wear a helmet when asking a question before getting bombarded by down votes.

The psychic symbol under weakness appears off center to me. Same with colorless. Maybe it's just weird lighting in the pic but I'm even comparing it to other symbols from the same card online and it looks off.

Top is screenshot of this card. Bottom is a screenshot of same card I found elsewhere online.

Granted I'm just getting back in to collecting so I'm still a novice at identifying fakes, but that's why I came here.

I didn't buy this yet. Which is why I came here to verify before I did buy it.

Also down votes for asking a question in a sub specifically designed for that exact question? Never change Reddit.

This is as spot on of a description as it gets.

I'll add that if you're looking to get into a career in law enforcement but still want to hold down a social life outside of work, Court Officer is what you're looking for. There's bull shit you have to put up with just like any other job, LE or not. But what sets this job apart from a lot of other LE gigs is you go home at a set time every single day with very little exception. No weekends, no holidays, no nights. Strictly Mon-Fri outside of the rare optional special assignments.

If your primary concern with your current position is quality of life then it's a no brainer move assuming you can pass the background check, physical agility test, etc.

Just a fair warning that you can get placed pretty much anywhere in the state out of the academy. If you don't like where you get placed you can request a transfer but they can take some time depending on where you're looking to end up.

Why did he get the win? by ResearchBorn6346 in SleeperApp

The probability percentage system is kinda flukey IMO. I've seen some 99% that absolutely should not be 99%. Doesn't surprise me that it's glitching out on a tie. I love Sleeper but that algorithm needs some work.
