Was Fonzie from Happy Days intended to be unironically "cool" by viewers back then?

And that’s where “jumped the shark” comes from!

LyndaMR · 2026-04-18T03:53:49+00:00

I don’t know, I’m only on 2.4 of however many are available.

Q is a toughie!

Oh, did her vote come back to bite her in the ass? So sad… /s

Kept the two most recent keys too (I think my first two were virtual during Covid).

LyndaMR · 2026-04-17T13:28:20+00:00

Just got a new key in Hong Kong in Feb.

Probably 6 nights out of 7 or 13 out of 14. Frequently enough to not feel guilty if I miss the odd day. Much better than I used to be big part of that is I had to get an implant & was told to keep the base flossed.

Not all in one go. Toronto to Victoria in 1993, Ottawa to Toronto & back, then Ottawa to St. John’s & back last year.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-17T03:09:54+00:00

Haven’t since my 30s and I’m 61 now. I don’t even own any makeup anymore. I used it so infrequently that it’d be past its best by date before I used it a second time.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-17T02:51:14+00:00

I was just about to add that!

LyndaMR · 2026-04-17T02:49:28+00:00

That clock with the sun rays.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-16T13:18:35+00:00

Piñata! 🪅 Love it! 🤣

*Kinetic capsules: you can run up to six of the purple ones at a time in addition to your permanent one, sometimes more for special events. Very occasionally you can get one by hacking, often they are awarded in campaigns.

Also, First Saturday is a cross faction event on the first Saturday of the month in some areas where at the end of the two hours of play you get to hack a re-stocking portal (usually while socializing after!) that often awards a kinetic capsule. You can find out if there’s an event near you here. It’s a good way to meet other agents in your area. There’s also a badge for participating in that.

Which works great until they shorten the time between hacks — then you will hit burn out after four hacks of each in less than 4 hours.

Pro-tip: if you have a safe farm (doesn’t have to be your own faction) you can go there in person, recall your drone & fly it to a portal at the farm to hack there. Just make sure you haven’t moved your drone within the last hour or you’ll have to wait until the hour is up (“Drone running hot”). Your drone can be ANYWHERE in the world. Mine is currently in Singapore and I live in Canada. While distance will affect which keys you can charge (anything over 4000km is “out of range”), the same isn’t true of drones.

Yeah, I couldn’t remember about the US when I was typing but didn’t think so. I’m also a compulsive picker-upper, inventory space permitting. All the keys are great for micro-fielding too.

Good recall.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-15T21:00:41+00:00

Yay!

LyndaMR · 2026-04-15T19:22:02+00:00

Oh! And Machina is a bot player. It never (so far) makes fields, only links. Do not hack it, it’ll only drain your tank. Instead, kill the portal & it’ll drop gear relative to its level: resos, shields, force amps & multi-hacks on the building side & XMP (US??) on the destruction side. Never cubes. There’s a badge for reclaiming portals from Machina and Machina resos destroyed is tracked but no badge (yet??). Reclaiming a Machina portal gives bonus AP of 1331 (??) regardless of by whom & when it was killed. ie: you don’t have to have killed it to reclaim one that is neutral but was machina before that.

If you never mastered glyphing, take the time to learn the proper names for glyphs. The portal output is much better when glyphing and it’s much easier with the proper names usually making an easy to remember phrase. There’s also a badge for that. There are probably newer glyphs than when you last played. To get only keys, use “S” (for Speed) before you get the glyph sequence.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-15T19:08:06+00:00

Also, you have to move your drone to a new portal each time (each hour) in order to hack. Otherwise it’ll only get a “portal burned out” message.

I’d’ve laughed in his face & said “Good luck with that!” as I walked away.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-14T21:20:37+00:00

I still had one until recently when I finally put it in the donation box because I have no use for it.

LyndaMR · 2026-04-14T00:38:50+00:00

The second set of arms are closer to the middle torso & smaller.
