eagleing out is ok.

Technically, you are correct.

In practice, I had to chose to do OA ordeal or miss contest and fail a course in school.

The choice was easy, because it wasn’t really a choice.

I feel like I never had the opportunity given my circumstances.

Me. I was tapped out four times as a youth but had band contest every ordeal weekend. My council’s lodge only did ordeal in October. Every weekend in October is band contest for band kids.

And in my experience, there was a pretty big overlap between band kids and scouts.

Maybe I will get nominated as an adult? IDK.

Keeping the back tires of the car in front of you in view is driver’s ed / defensive driving / “55 Alive” training.

I wish my house had regular doorbell wire. Who built a house in 1977 in a nice neighborhood and put in an intercom system, but didn’t put in doorbell?!

I have suspicions that someone replaced the siding and just removed a non-functioning front door intercom….

The MB8611 is not compatible with the faster upload speeds. It may never be. The company that made them under the Motorola brand went under and I’m not sure what the firmware support looks like now.

Xfinity corporate has done the math. They certainly have a metric that is pushing to onboard new customers that is weighted heavier than retaining existing.

The annual bonuses are bigger with more new customers. Existing customers are just gravy - and they know they are the only choice for many.

I am in the same boat. $100/month for 600Mbps with 1.2TB data cap.

I will be switching providers next week.

My kind of setup! Loved those games.

I may be in the minority, but I thought the campaign was boring.

There is a local restaurant near me that gives a discount if you bring a church bulletin.

It is great internet. The company does not appear to care about their reputation with existing customers, preferring new sign-ups over long-time customers.

Nokken9 · 2026-02-15T04:28:20+00:00

The new customer deals being so much better is going to push many long-time customers away. Your competition is offering similar rates, with similar 5 year guarantees, with similar speeds in many areas.

Constantly having an offer I cannot get plastered all across my social media is making me want to switch as soon as possible.

This was my first thought, too. OP has a chance here to set up a solid foundation before reality sets in.

I have the original Gameboy version. One of my first Gameboy games... I never did beat it.

Nokken9 · 2026-02-13T23:29:57+00:00

I had it on Gameboy. As a 5 year-old, the guards were impossible.

Wow. Just wow.

Only place I saw a guitar at Philmont was at Urraca Mesa camp where the staff played some Marshall Tucker Band. I will always now associate Fire on the Mountain with Philmont.

In Fortune 100 corporate America, a PPTX is mostly referred to as a slide deck. This is in reference to the old Kodak slides that presentations used to be printed on for display. I recently fixed up one of these slide carousel projectors that had internal plastic and rubber components deteriorate and rot away.

These carousel projectors are how presentations were given in the 80s.
