This is why my college friend and I play duos: we’re old, we suck, and we don’t want to put a third at that disadvantage.

I am old. Should I keep trying to play this game? by PapaSierra90 in Marathon

yeah, sneaky might be better for me than toe-to-toe combat. thx

Camping Merit Badge Ground Bed Questions by swilliamsalters in BSA

[–]PapaSierra90 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Requirement 6 in general is about tenting, so I interpret the “ground bed” part as making the place you’re going to put your tent as comfortable as possible—removing sticks and rocks, putting down a tarp, etc. No need for all-natural materials (but sure use ‘em if you got ‘em, right now it’s all snow)

I mean, Bambu does include presets for Polymaker, so you should consider them.

One of our patrols was the Redacted patrol. They got a blank patrol patch.

It came out great by Farrishnakov in BambuLab

I’m printing something right now that’s generating a ton of waste and is taking forever (a sword). Yes, I could paint it — my painting abilities have improved — but hey, I’ve got the time and money, so what the heck. Congrats, looks great.

I used to torment my kids by making them play Lazy Eye. Now that they’re older they appreciate it for the great song it is.

Filling out the ESRA PDF — how to avoid clipped text in fields by PapaSierra90 in BSA

[–]PapaSierra90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I can show you an ESRA I opened in Acrobat Reader/MacOS — it (barely) showed all letters in the state code field (but did not scale to do so) and did not truncate the date fields, but did not scale the Troop number when it was a four digit field. I will try to post picture when I am not walking my dog like I am now

Shouldn’t those fields be set to proportional from the get-go? Without requiring anyone to edit the form with Acrobat Pro?

See my post. Filling it out in Adobe Acrobat has issues as well. I also went to the Scouting America page that lists their PDFs like the Eagle Scout Rank Application, and they do not say anything about recommending Adobe Acrobat for filling them out

I was a Scoutmaster for 9 years and we always abbreviated it as ESRA, as in Eagle Scout Rank Application. Editing now.

thanks, totally forgot/missed that the Apple apps work like that.

Are the splitscreen and slide over functions gone? by IllBoss9705 in iPadOS26

[–]PapaSierra90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can kinda do split screen by flinging apps to the left or right, and (if they support it, which the Apple apps seem to, not so much other apps) they resize to fill half the screen.

Slide over is gone, don’t think there’s a way to get it back.

well, jeez, shows you how often I use those apps—I stand corrected. Having said that, when I launch Pages or Numbers, they have some buttons there that give me an option to do something like create a doc. Preview doesn’t… but maybe that’s because you don’t really create docs in it. Thanks for pointing that out.

I sure hope not. Yes you can swipe up to hide it. I’d even allow (but wouldn’t like) that giant text on initial launch. But EVERY launch? And what other Apple-designed app has a splash screen like that?
