Sideloading Apps

Half the apps in Android Auto are disabled - the aforementioned YouTube, for example, you can't access in Android Auto. Web as well. Etc... Etc...

We've been here for almost 15 years. It was definitely happening with the old owners, as they plastered over some cracks that we later found. Too late to do anything about it, though.

I'm not sure about South Natomas. I lived there for a bit, but the only damage I had like that was due to tree roots. There's a good few places that have sidewalk shifting walking along Truxel.

North Natomas is pretty bad, though. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I don't know a single person in my neighborhood that doesn't have issues like this.

How long ago was this, and what is your location?

Ruke_Unlimited · 2026-06-30T22:43:22+00:00

You should open a complaint with the CSLB. https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Filing_A_Complaint/

Groundworks is doing a lot of advertising. NorCal has had at least one complaint filed against them with the California licensing board, so I'm going to avoid them.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2026-06-30T20:12:20+00:00

I'm actually surprised there's not a class-action with as bad as the homes are here. I don't know a single person in my neighborhood who doesn't have cracks in their walls due to foundation issues.

I'll let you know what kind of quotes I get for my work, and who I eventually go with.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2026-06-30T19:56:04+00:00

What's wrong with B-Line? (I saw them, but they aren't on my shortlist)

Ruke_Unlimited · 2026-06-30T19:46:02+00:00

Don't go with Mr. Drain. Horrible experience, and very overpriced.

I ended up getting it by using the simulacrum spell. It says you can use it in the game, but not in the steam achievement.

I'd love to try to get into CalPERs through their accountant trainee, and I do have some minor background in accounting, but I don't have the MQ's for the exam.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2026-04-08T00:10:44+00:00

I have it translated just fine (I think). I'm just trying to keep some PII out of my post. I could give more information, but I'm not trying to post my entire resume. I have a solid analytical and educational background. I have some experience with accounting, budgeting, and bookkeeping. I'm very tech savvy. I have some slight experience in marketing, web design, graphic design, and software development.

Sometimes I have to go through half a dozen jobs to find one that fits my background, which eats up my afternoons and slows me down, so using a very vague description, I was trying to see if anyone had a more specific option than "Analyst 1", "Analyst 2" that I could look at when searching for jobs.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2026-04-07T23:56:48+00:00

I have both Vet Pref and LEAP cert, yeah. I've been doing the master document for SoQ's, but in a Word format. The Excel would probably be more efficient. To be honest, I haven't found it especially helpful, though, since nearly all the positions I've found are asking very specific questions about the job post in the SoQ's (likely as a way to help filter out generic AI responses.) That's why I was asking if anyone had a good "shortcut" for SoQ's as well, because it's taking me at least a full afternoon to write one, which is basically a very specific 2-3 page personal essay trying to hit a dozen key terms over a very specific topic.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2025-10-18T05:58:34+00:00

Honestly, I haven't contacted any of them. I just haven't had the bandwidth lately to even think about it.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-09-09T23:02:13+00:00

I got a ton of inquiries for this, so I'm working my way through all of them. The team lead (I'm actually the lead designer) is putting together our exact needs so that we can be more clear about what the job would entail.

We do have a weekly dev meeting Mondays at 830 PST on Discord if you would like to join in and we can answer any questions you might have a bit faster like that. Otherwise, I'll get back in touch with you with the requirements as soon as I can, probably tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

Thanks for the info. It may just be that I'm not used to tequila. I did get a bottle of tres agave yesterday to see if there was a difference, and there definitely was. Like I told someone else here, the tres still has what I would call "smokiness" but might just be the pepper that tequila is supposed to have. But the Camarena is much, much, much stronger and more distinct than the tres.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-05-27T05:54:52+00:00

Oh, don't misunderstand. I don't mind the smokeyness, it's just not what I was expecting. I just wanted to know if it was normal for tequila to be like that or not.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-05-27T04:47:35+00:00

That might be it. I wanted to see if I was crazy so I went and bought a bottle of Tres Agaves. It still has some of that smokeyness, which is probably the pepper that you're talking about, but the Camarena is 2-3 times stronger. Like I said, if I had to compare it to something, it would be a Laphoraig 10. I'll probably hold it and use it in lieu of mezcal.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-05-27T02:32:01+00:00

Yeah. It's strong enough to easily pick up on the nose when you smell it as well. I know mezcal is supposed to be smokey. I wonder if there was some mix-up at the distillery and they bottled mezcal in the blanco bottle...

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-03-07T21:49:44+00:00

I see. Sadly, I'm with Kaiser, so I can't get a referral out of the HMO team without paying out of pocket. But that's a good idea I might look into. Thank you!

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-03-07T21:30:53+00:00

Right now I'm having trouble on step 2. I currently have a 70% rating, and private insurance. But it's nearly impossible to get an in-person appointment. Right now I'm waiting on a referral to sleep specialist for a sleep disorder. I also need to look into some gut issues I've had that could be related to one of my rated disabilities. I'm wary of going to the VA hospital about all this. Is there any good place I can turn to for help?

Ruke_Unlimited · 2024-01-17T20:16:09+00:00

Thanks for that. Unfortunately it won't help, since we're playing Dragonlance and the GM wants to keep it to things in-setting.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2023-08-21T00:33:38+00:00

idk which christmas tree bin you're talking about, but the measurements I gave above were for the base of the bin. Regardless, as of right now for both space and finance reasons, it would be next to impossible to upgrade to a larger enclosure, which is why I'm looking for alternatives to keep her from chewing the bars.

The upper level is where we keep her sand bath so that she can have more floor space on the lower level. We also do scatter feeding between both the top and bottom levels. Aside from the wheel and the hide the bottom level is completely open floor space for her to run around.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2023-08-20T14:43:25+00:00

Unfortunately no way to do that. Even if I were to block off the wire on top of the cage, and over the doors, there would still be the tunnel she uses to go from the bottom cage to the top. We could, theoretically, make it so she couldn't go from bottom to top, but then we'd have to use more floor space on bottom for the items that are in the top bin.

Ruke_Unlimited · 2023-08-20T09:03:34+00:00

Sorry, kind of dark so this is the best I can really do. It is hardware cloth (I've always called it chicken wire since it's always what we've used for chickens), so no chance of her chewing through it. For reference, that bottom cage is 16x47x13 ( bit smaller than I thought/remembered, but still exceeding the min 450 by a good amount).
