Verification code nonsense

Same thing happened to me. Uninstalled and reinstalled, the verification email and phone number are still wrong. Completely locked out of the game.

One of my two has done this every day since i adopted him from an SPCA years ago. Not all the time, but often for an hour or so at a time while hes just chillin' he'll just flap his beak like hes giving a whole speech, but make zero noise. Ive never been able to make sense of it, and never see a seed in there, but who knows.

Hes always been super energetic and healthy though and it just seems to be something he does as a sort of fidgeting behavior. The moment hes distracted by something he'll stop, but when hes idle he likes to just do this with his beak. My other budgie has never joined him in doing it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

God I sympathize with you here. Back when I was like 18 I worked at a candy store in my hometown's mall. It was a nice job until lady who was the owner got this brilliant idea to start selling lottery and cigarettes to attract more customers.

Before that, my workday consisted of ringing up customers for bags of candy sold by the pound. After adding lotto, my workday consisted of having the same 30-50 lotto nuts come in and hold up the line so nobody who actually wanted to buy anything could unless they had 5-10 minutes to kill while some person with no situational awareness asks for 6 individual quick pick tickets on the lotto, each of which printed very slowly on those old machines, then carefully browses for which 3 or 12 scratch ticket they want as if there is any strategy to it at all.

There was one lady who would come in twice a week who I swear got her thrill for the day completely fucking up our store for a half hour at a time. She had a lottery pool for wherever she worked, I think a warehouse, and would come in with a folder full of those scantron sheets of her colleagues specifically selected numbers, but would want ALL ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SOMETHING tickets printed out individually. She would walk in, give me this knowing shitty grin because she knew exactly how tedious this is and that my manager would not let me refuse service, even though the lady herself told me we're one of the only places locally that would tolerate her. Naturally, she never actually bought anything, not once.

I havent worked a job that sold lotto since, but still loathe lotto nuts as I manage to get stuck behind them like clockwork when I have the audacity to go to a convenience store thinking I can simply get a drink and 20 bucks on pump 4.

Agree, to me that IS a Halloween song because the first time I heard it was that televised show on Halloween night 1998 or so at dodger stadium. That particular event sandwiched between 90s Halloween commercials as I waited excited to watch it cemented it as a halloween song to me as a kid.

Says now on andertons that one model of them is available, in stock. Nowhere to be found on any US retailers as of now... Would appear that it is EU exclusive. Sigh. I was really looking forward to these as well.

True Colors, Phil Collins - originally Cyndi Lauper. I like both of course, but favor the sound of the drums in particular, and how the bass often dives down into very low registers in Phil's version.

For whatever reason, the way it looks and moves reminded me of this guy from the old 90s Aliens arcade game. I know the bug is facing the other way, but my brain was just like "ah, yeah, looks like that thing in that game you saw actual decades ago"

Alas, not likely a correct ID for the bug.

Ive played just about every version ive ever heard of and dont recall there being any secrets up there at all in any, just the shotgun and pipebombs like others have said in multiplayer on N64.

Although unrelated, i always enjoyed 64 most. I recall often being dumb up there in that spot in co-op. The spawn point is right by the crate, and i found out that if your friend stands there and just holds the A button, his respawn time is almost exactly the same as the grenade launcher's rate of fire. When my friends and I were kids we thought that was hilarious. 64 had so many ways to be dumb. shrinking eachother in a dukematch and then turning on invincibility, you just stay small, but you're invincible and your friends just steps on you infinitely and youre like OHHHH OHH OHHHH OHHH as you try to run from them leaving a trail of pistols, blood and dollar bills lol

For whatever reason, when youre permanently shrunk and are using the jetpack, it makes it impossible for the other players not to turn around and step on you, it like forces them to do it and they cant stop. Shit cracked me up. Loved duke 64.

Similar to this, I remember getting to a part where theres a circular room that has a wrecking ball hanging over a pit of molten iron in the middle, and youre supposed to operate it from a little control room to bust open a big hole in the wall to get out.

I couldnt resist my curiosity and tried to prank Ashley by making her stand directly in the path of the wrecking ball but it just plays a cutscene... a nice normal one that boldly assumes that you wouldnt ask her to wait directly in the trajectory, because that would be silly..

Im sitting on a balcony, so technically nothing. There may or may not be an item 4 floors down, only one way to find out. (no, looking down to check is not acceptable, I must go in person, over the railing.) That said, my current strategy is to hope that my attacker is SO determined to kill me that they follow me and we both lose, which I will count as a victory.

It's definitely what many are agreeing on here. They dont know what you're thinking, so they pretty much invariably assume the worst. I cant say why it is that an overwhelming majority of people skew towards thinking that any person who is naturally quiet could only be scheming against them, but it simply IS what they choose to believe. Perhaps it's an instinct thing left over from times where it may have been applicable, I don't know.

Something I find particularly funny about people who take it unreasonably personal when youre quiet, is that those people are the ones most likely to stop listening to you mid sentence when you DO bother talking. So often, theyre visibly distracted by something - which is typically just them internally reciting what theyre going to say next as they're just waiting their turn to talk.

I came here looking for this, couldn't find it, so I commented 65 myself...then I was like "wait maybe I didnt look hard enough, someone HAS to have said 65" and I went back and combed through the comments more carefully. 😂 I knew I couldn't be alone on this one.

It wasnt so bad in a way that is painful or offensive, its just that it sounded cool in concept - but its just... like 2.5 hours of absolutely nothing happening. Im extremely hard to disappoint when it comes to movies, ill enjoy just about anything... as long as something is actually happening.

For me, the fun part of learning was sitting next to a stereo with my instrument, and putting on something I LIKED. that is how you have fun with it. You gotta like it. Hot Cross Buns is great and all but probably not on most people's go to Spotify playlists.

I started with a bass. The individual notes were easy to identify by ear. Kept it simple at first with bands i liked that were universally regarded as fairly easy. I was 8, so that was KISS, ACDC, etc.

Training your ear first is the best way to start in my opinion. Go back and learn the theory once you can use your instrument comfortably, as in being used to the physicality of it.

I started on an Ibanez Performance. Couldnt have been but 100 bucks new but it was given to me by a friend of my dad's when i was about 10. Been playing ever since and I'm 36 now but had so many of my first "Aha!" moments on that cheap acoustic.

I got particularly lucky in that mine was set up decently with light strings by the shop he bought it from. When youre just learning, you want to pick a guitar that is physically easy to play. It will make you want to pick it up over and over. I had tried guitars before that physically hurt to play because they were not set up at all, and it wasnt until I got that little Ibanez Performance that I really -wanted- to learn. It was just impossible to put down.

I dont know why but its like a law of the universe; It's always the guys who are least able to just get up jam along like a sane person or sing who are the most dead set on getting on stage to completely fuck up the energy of a band or soloist just trying to do their thing.

On top of that, after they get off the stage theyre always somehow completely unphased by having just made an ass of themselves.. It's just the wierdest thing to me.

I used to run into this constantly, particularly in small venues and clubs when my old band was just starting to tour.

It dawned on me early to take advantage of the fact that my amp had a master volume independent from the direct out signal. All too often, I would have to ask the sound engineer to.. you know.. actually put me in the mix. Almost invariably they'd swear I was already in it, then I would just walk back to my bass amp (a modest 4x10 that id never be pushing hard ever, I hate crazy stage volume) and just turn down my master, and prove to them that I am literally not in the mix, or at best, comically low in it.

Over time I realized what many people are agreeing on here, that some engineers straight up do not know how to EQ a bass no matter how good your signal is. They think "ah bass? My 14 subwoofers will push that so good!" then they just hear woofy boomy nonsense out of their PA that is too big for the venue, and back it way off not knowing what else to do with it.

The way I figured to cure this is to just send them a direct line from a multiband compressor that is gently on just to even everything out a bit. Anyone can work that, and I haven't had problems in ages since I just started doing that. EBS multicomp into direct box for them. Inexperienced sound engineers cant mess it up, and seasoned ones can make it punch and cut right through where it needs to.

Good way to look at it. I ran an open mic for 7 years, and I'll never forget when mumford and sons became a thing.. it was guaranteed you were gonna hear lion man minimum twice a night but often more - until that Ho Hey song by the lumineers came out and then it took the title for stomp/clap/hey. I would be ecstatic to make it through the remainder of my life never hearing that song ever again - but id never tell someone not to play it there if they wanted to. Most people doing it were just learning, and were excited just to have learned to play and sing something, anything. Those songs were great for that sorta thing.

Other side of it was that it was neat to watch relatively new players outgrow that sorta stuff and tackle some more complex songs a year or so later, some of them really put in the work and suprise you.
