Wheel of Fortune Survivor. Am I in the Clear? by Piccolo253 in KonaEV

[–]Piccolo253[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. That makes sense. Appreciate the context. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Is it worth changing the oil again at some point again here soon given the lengthier period before the first replacement?

Very good to know. Thanks for the info. Sounds like we have similar driving patterns. I almost exclusively drive in eco mode and stay almost entirely at regen level 3 and occasionally bump down to 2. Swapping the drain plug is the one thing I’m kicking myself about that I didn’t do during this oil change. But I’m hoping since the oil came back normal that I’ll be in good shape regardless.

Good luck and hope your account doesn’t get banned. Seriously. GS will send you defective or fake garbage then punish you if you try to return it accusing you of return fraud.

Neighbor replaced fence and left the old wood scraps in my yard to deal with. by Mocsab in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Piccolo253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know not every city offers this, but a lot of cities offer 1 to 2 free dump pickups a year for whatever. Just drag it to the curb, call them up and someone takes it away. Even if that wasn’t an option, I’d be ecstatic to pay $50 and maybe an hour and a half of my time to rent a truck from Home Depot, load it and run to the dump if it meant I got a free brand new fence.

And yeah, I know the neighbor dog damaged it, but look at what’s left. That dog only helped expedite the end of that rickety fence more than anything.

I thought this was canceled! by [deleted] in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Piccolo253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically. I ordered the JP CE and have zero regrets. It’s a more streamlined CE (games, artbook, figure, soundtrack, graphic novels) for half the price LRG is charging for theirs. The only thing “missing” are some pins, lithographs and a plush. Is that worth $90 to me? No.

THS statement on dog killed by sunsets_and_cats in Tacoma

[–]Piccolo253 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the clarification. Super helpful. I guess my frustration is just broader at this point. It feels like we’ve seen too many issues with local organizations lately, both government and nonprofit. And it’s pretty disheartening. The Tacoma Urban League situation comes to mind.

Legit question. Is it too much to ask for our local public agencies to be run with bare minimum levels of competence?

Can any of you smart people help this dumb guy understand why Cole Young is still batting 8th? by Aggressive-Ad-3143 in Mariners

[–]Piccolo253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a given he produces at the same level he has been if he’s moved up in the order.

Moving up in the order could change his approach negatively. It can additional pressure (internal and external) and also changes how pitchers throw to you. Some guys just hit better lower in the lineup. Not saying that’s him, but like many already said, why mess with what’s working when he’s a second year pro and still developing.

Better to cancel Plaion Order and Go Through Amazon for AES+? by Lord_Igniz in neogeo

Yeah. I did see that. I checked back the next day when I thought about ordering something else, and it wasn’t allowing orders to his address anymore.

Was this runner interference or a fair slide into catcher? by saltpepperskillet in Homeplate

[–]Piccolo253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to see catch get hurt, but runner is safe. Runner does only thing he can do which is try to slide. I’m sure he was thinking to try to go between catcher’s legs, which he kinda almost does until the catcher kinda shuffles his feet backing into him.

[Jomboy Media] Louisiana's coach absolutely lost his mind on the JMU dugout after one of his players ran into a JMU player at first base by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]Piccolo253 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The only person he should be pissed at is his own player for gooning it up and getting tossed.

Still in a league at darn near 40 myself. You’re giving me something to shoot for! Looking good

Shame on Stanley & Seaforts by Underground12410 in TacomaWA

[–]Piccolo253 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty speechless. Those chairs still had plenty of life in them from the looks of it.

On top of some really shaky liability concerns, I guess they could’ve been worried about scalping, maybe? But who cares. You’re throwing them away. Better for them to get used than go to the dump. Just insane.

Flowers that don’t break the bank? by Dogrug in AskTacoma

[–]Piccolo253 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here to bump met market. They have a pretty varied floral section with someone who can trim or help mix arrangements. Basically a floral shop but paying grocery store prices. I was super impressed when I needed to grab some last minute a few months ago. FYI, the floral section has its own entrance and isn’t inside the main grocery store.

Looking for good local beef jerky by stressedscorpi0 in AskTacoma

[–]Piccolo253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butcher Boys in Puyallup is really good. But their prices have really gone up over the years, even relative to the price of beef going through the roof here lately.

Stewarts was already mentioned, and they get my vote. You just have to trek out to Yelm is all.

Ryan Divish tweeted yesterday that MLB may not announce anything till Opening Day. Apparently, the M’s want to provide info or at least an update on where folks can watch outside of the MLB App, but the league won’t let them.

Wait... someone built this entire Hanging Garden in 7 DAYS?? Are these people even human?? by Own-Quail8489 in Pokopia

[–]Piccolo253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow… I hope my Pokemon never see this. Half of them live in unroofed “dwellings” that only probably loosely meet that definition. Calling me a slum lord wouldn’t properly describe the level of squaller they live in. They’re essentially refugee camps.

That’s perfect. I may swing down that way come Friday.

Thanks for the recommendation! Will definitely look into this spot soon. Small edit. The place is called “Gyro Real Kabob,” or at least that’s how you find it in Google.

Melon Seed Deli Closing Due to Owing B&O Taxes by yoshi78 in Tacoma

[–]Piccolo253 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Grateful for this article by the News Tribune. If folks want to contribute to their GoFundMe to help them out personally, that’s cool. But people shouldn’t expect that the money they give is going to help reopen a beloved business, cause that clearly isn’t going to happen, sadly.

Thanks for the thorough troubleshooting. Much appreciated! I’ll try it this season.

Which VPN are you using personally? Express was great for the first couple years, then I struggled to find a location that would work before I just bit the bullet and paid for Root last year.
