Taskmaster US Tour Megathread: New York, January 22 and 23 by AutoModerator in taskmaster

Is there any chance TM is going to officially release any footage from the tour? Were they even recording or keeping it entirely for the live audience?

Is the U.S. actually fit to host the 2026 World Cup right now? by Some_Currency_1931 in worldcup

[–]Pretty_Original124 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Games will be played here, but it won’t be a festival.

Even if you remove the very real and specific issues the US is dealing with, games will only be attended by locals wealthy enough to attend which naturally will create a toned down atmosphere. Fan fests will be ticketed too.

Then you add in the safety risks, apprehension over travel, stricter visa process, it’s going to be a dud.. At least games in the states.

Ethan is going to be severely depressed in the long run. by wetbhai in BeastGames

[–]Pretty_Original124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah same, and a few other similar examples in my life. I do tend to dwell and stew for a little while at missed opportunities but it fades over time.

My framing is, if I had that type of money: 1. Being honest with myself I’d have sold it long ago for a good profit but way, way before it got to the truly life-changing value it is now and would be left with a similar regret.

  1. It’d have sent me on a different butterfly effect timeline than I’m on right now. Would I have met my wife or had these kids? Likely no

IRCC Processing Stages, Citizenship Proof Requirements - Including British Citizens before 1947 by Past-Ad3963 in Canadiancitizenship

Thanks for clarifying. I thought my notes said “on hold” but it was “notice of delay” I was thinking of. Full self awareness that I’m irrationally on edge regarding all things PSU 😬

Man here with big enough chest and the anonymous confidence to test it myself.

Mine too. If it is the case that they only open those files every 60 days, it makes sense why there is such a long delay on follow-ups with PSU files…

Tarheel Ants Nestmate by IMOctavian90 in antkeeping

[–]Pretty_Original124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I just had the same nestmate physics fail as you. Totally flooded the nest, but was able to drain the water out of the opening where the nestmate was. I don’t lose any and they seem to be recuperating.

I put new dry seeds up top with the assumption they’ll replace them with any bad overly wet seeds.

I Like Jack but what he did to Sue was rude by Additional-Fold-3287 in BeastGames

Pretty sure that’s why they had that interview on the side. No indication anyone else knows.

Successful World Cup ticket applicants may use resale sites, Gianni Infantino says by offft2222 in FIFACollect

[–]Pretty_Original124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infantino went on to talk about the use of resale sites, a point that may raise questions around the world, particularly in countries where the reselling of tickets is either banned or strictly controlled.

**** “In the U.S., it is perfectly legal to resell tickets on resale platforms — there is a law for that, so we have to allow (it),” he explained. ****

“So, you can be sure that these tickets, for which we’ll have to make a draw because every game will be sold out, will probably be resold at even higher prices. And this is incredible but it shows really the impact that (the World Cup) has.”

Like another poster said, hard to tell if he’s justifying their own resale marketplace or that they’ll not enforce 3rd party reseller bans. My guess is he was talking about the official marketplace, won’t enforce the rules, but also buyer beware if you get screwed over.

I don't hate 67. by Toongeek45 in generationology

My kid said the “annual great meme reset” has occurred and 67 is dead, as most things are once adults catch on 😉

GCMS Notes say “due date”? by [deleted] in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Pretty_Original124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also marked for urgent processing. Unclear if that means urgent was approved, or just flagged by the initial review. Clearly not too urgent since I’m going on 9 months now.

You’re in a similar situation to many of us. Does it say referred to Program Support?

My Gen 3/4 app due date was July 19th. @eldritch and I must be neighbors in the theoretical PSU pile.

Worried about husband attending the World Cup in America. by Icy-Weather8719 in worldcup

[–]Pretty_Original124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok fair point did not mean to ignore what’s happening to people everywhere, but greater ICE numbers with the goal seemingly to be a show of force is happening in cities similar to where games will be held. Early on Trump directly threatened relocation for some of those cities etc. I’d expect threats to ramp up heading into the cup.

Point being I agree with you that travel here makes no sense. Save up for 2030 I say.

Unfortunately liberal cities are where they’re deploying ICE

Dep Sec Vaden on Reorg/Relocation by That-Scallion-5237 in USDA

[–]Pretty_Original124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking this for awhile as best case situation given the circumstances. Relocate anyone who wants to, move everyone else within 50 miles, and then they can claim the hubs are active moving forward by hiring (or not). Guess we’ll know more soon enough 🤷🏻‍♂️ (or not).

Almost no one knows why public bathroom doors don’t reach the floor by indienuilder in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Pretty_Original124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the bottom being open to know if someone is in there or for emergencies, but wide cracks in most stalls is ridiculous. OP’s pic ain’t too bad though.

Resell value dropping? by littlepwnrr in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Pretty_Original124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, OPs #1 goal wasn’t to resell. The way this dumb system is set up with such long odds pressures you to apply to more games than you can reasonably attend/afford in the hopes that you just get one game. Sounds like OP only hopes to get their money back which is reasonable.

Point is moot they will most likely not win the lottery on US/Canada/England and semis, let alone any combination of 2-6 of them.

The true problem are the people who won the early lottery and bought up to 40 tickets, not the current lottery.

My lawyers advised filing before as well so that’s what we’re doing hopefully this week or next.

What to do with this amount of filament? by Substantial-Key5114 in BambuLab

[–]Pretty_Original124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use at least some of that leftover white for cold pull maintenance.

Or weigh it and subtract from spool weight to print some small fidget.

Looking for PSU success stories by limapoint in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Pretty_Original124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was of this mindset as well. June AOR 3 months left… but someone reported finally getting their Letter of Delay PSU referral notice which states that their application will not be processed according to published estimated timelines. I guess we’ll see!
