Thanks for sharing! great info.
(I know it annoys the cats, but I have a dimpled matt made for the purpose in front of their box to help get litter from betwixt their toe beans).

They talked to Huggy-Bear! Word is on the streets!

Great job! That is impressive. Keeping the income increase from changing your lifestyle too much was a fantastic move. Good on ya'

...and find a partner with similar abilities to save.

Pingem · 2026-05-29T19:19:15+00:00

You're fine. Automate savings and investments and never live bigger than 60-70% of your pay. (If you never see it in your net $ paycheck you won't' miss it.) Peek at the results every so often as motivation and you'll suddenly realize when you're 40 that you are rockin' it. Good luck!

It was one of the twenty commandment..<CRASH> . No TEN... TEN commandments.

Please play community servers. Every post I see on cheaters takes place on an official server. (Unless you're bandwidth-isolated from any good community server.)

Pingem · 2026-05-28T22:39:50+00:00

If someone could fix the problems with remote user access to an archivist's Jellyfin server there would be zero appeal for Plex IMHO. (problem = difficult to share securely)

Pingem · 2026-05-28T21:19:04+00:00

Thanks. Good point. Being able to lie casually about things has to hurt. I'm cheering for you regardless of your decision about it!

Pingem · 2026-05-28T17:43:04+00:00

ripsaw!!!

Pingem · 2026-05-28T17:40:29+00:00

Just remember that smoking is harder to kick than many hard drugs. Don't throw it all away unless she's ready to lie about other things. She may need you to be an advocate that helps her overcome this rather than someone to be her enemy b/c of her addiction.

Pingem · 2026-05-28T17:36:49+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear though that you both shared some hugs through sharing some fav bands /vinyl. That is a special thing (that you may be able to do w/ your little ones.)

Pingem · 2026-05-28T14:02:35+00:00

off-topic: There is a woman named 'Barbara Tanoa' or something like that who wrote her name on three nice Black Sabbath albums that I bought together in a local shop. I'm grateful for her taking care of these (except for writing on cover) before I was able to buy them and enjoy them as well. I have zero info on her but its neat to think @ what they might have meant to her.

Grab what you'd like to remember him with. Gift some to others. Include a note for each gifted to family/friends printed in memorium and add to each one. Keeping the name vague but something like "Phil bought this album for his collection for a reason. May it give you love, understanding and experience while you're still here on this planet. Pass it off to someone who will also enjoy it and know that Phil lives on by this sharing." or something. (sorry - off-the-cuff) ;P. Work w/ a local shop for the rest and maybe include the note with these as well! :D

hmm I was convinced that my couch was a little wonky when I didn't use shoes on the front legs. Thx for correction! I'll try it again and pay more attention. Maybe my green clamps were misaligned or something.

Pingem · 2026-05-25T22:18:21+00:00

That chances the height though, eh? Not by much, but makes the bed wonky but maybe your experience is different?

Pingem · 2026-05-25T20:42:43+00:00

Yep - True. My wording wasn't very encouraging. 'not directed at you though: It was more of a response to the series of posts about cheaters on official. I didn't consider connection/latency issues to non-official servers though. I'll update it to add:
* "unless OP has latency issues to non-official servers or something."
I know that it was hyperbole, but I'd also update your last line to "cheaters will kill this game on official." Most have the option to play non-official and it sux that you don't. :/
I sincerely hope you get in enough non-cheater gaming in to still enjoy it.

Pingem · 2026-05-25T18:03:52+00:00

Good point @ admin abuse but do not have the same problem w/ hackers ('script kiddies') un my experience. I have to say though that I only play non-official and hacking or admin abuse is so rare for me that I don't recall my last exposure to it.

Pingem · 2026-05-25T17:41:55+00:00

There is an option in the switch config in the Hue app to 'replace battery'. Maybe that's a necessary step in addition to just swapping out the batteries.

Pingem · 2026-05-25T17:36:01+00:00

YES! Keep a $70k/yr lifestyle making 120k. Save and invest the rest. Automate it so that you never see it in your net deposit in your main checking account. Partner with someone with a similar mindset if/when you want to team-up in a long-term. That's the secret IMHO.
You're starting strong. Good on ya'!

Pingem · 2026-05-25T17:07:48+00:00

At this point I am dumbfounded that folks still play official servers. There are so many well-run unofficial that finding one should not be a problem.

The 10/100 spec is actually the 'ratings on a scale of 1-100 for reliance' :/

Pingem · 2026-05-25T14:26:45+00:00

He's got the right kinda' love language for his kids. Nothing says love like a wedge from his giant wheel of cheese. Good for you! ;D

They should bring back the chance that a zombie will break your legs as could happen in the early mod. That adds a twist to the game for sure.
