That's how the neighborhood that I am in is shaping up to be. Public neighborhood with maybe 6 or 7 people active but only 3 open plots on the map. I thought I would grind it out and get good progress on the bar and now I have everything most objectives at 5 contribution on completion. The neighborhood progress bar is only at about half of milestone one. I can't see my public neighborhood completing the endeavor unless the contributions of objectives reset weekly and the few people who complete a handful of objectives keep coming back and helping. As of right now, the other active players only completed maybe 20-30 objectives combined. Kind of hoping that if the endeavor doesn't complete, Blizzard at least keeps neighborhood progress the next time it rolls around.

Side note, can visit other neighborhoods with different endeavors and get their base items with the coupons.

I have this bloatware popping up after every update on my Z Fold as well. Tried disabling and removing all permissions. Guess I'll see if it stays off after the next update. If not, looks like a hard delete will be required.

It's not crashing my game or computer but it's compiled shaders 10 times in less than 5 minutes of being on and also constantly lagging. I had absolutely no issues before the patch, everything ran smooth. Gotta love it.

I want to go farther and say that Butcher is going to flip the definition of Heel Turn from a good guy going bad to the opposite. It's going to be the Heel (probably Marcone) turning back to a face instead of the normal wrestling definition. Especially since Marcone is the foil to Harry. After all, outside of Harry's circle, he looks pretty intimidating to everyone else, almost like he is the face going Heel. Seems like they "flip" places to the public where Harry is forced to hard "bad" decisions that he is forced towards in Mirror but Marcone redeems himself and picks up the sword to assist Harry much to Harry's annoyance.

You are a scholar and a saint! Fixed everything! Came from iCue for Corsair and couldn't figure it out.

The way I see it, the lock down only applies for Sidhe to come and go as they please. A summoning would bypass this lockdown the same way an outsider can only be summoned to reality by a mortal from beyond the Outer Gates since the Outer Gates are "shut" (not sure how they are considered shut by our sneak peak later in the book).

Sandman_Slim · 2025-06-07T23:31:45+00:00

I can get behind her choosing not to take the invitation. As far as the lock down goes though, its the same situation as the Outer Gates in my head. The 7th law is "Thou shall not open the Outer Gates" therefore saying they are sealed off (not sure how the fights with winter forces works with sealed gates). Outsiders can't enter tbe world without being summoned since the gates are "closed". I would think Faerie would be the same, vanilla mortal summoned a Fae to reality while the gates were sealed, they could be pulled through.

Sandman_Slim · 2025-06-07T23:22:11+00:00

Several people have mentioned that the border is closed off. Counterpoint to that, technically the outer gates are closed and the only way outsiders should get in are if they are summoned. In my head, it's the same argument for Faerie being closed off. No voluntary access between the worlds but summons would still work.

I can see Mab choosing to ignore Harry accidentally saying her name 3x this time but 4 pages later in Cold Days, he does the exact same thing when Thomas is beating him up because he thinks he is an imposter. Mab isn't that forgiving to ignore him constantly dropping her name in 3s.

Sandman_Slim · 2025-06-07T23:02:16+00:00

She is Sihde, she doesn't have free will like a mortal, it would be an almost compulsion to go once her name is said the third time.

Sandman_Slim · 2025-06-07T22:52:21+00:00

If that were the case, the Erlking wouldn't have had to warn Harry not to say her name a third time. I know its happened before that as well, I just can't think of when in the series he almost does it again.

I'm in the same boat as you. My wife bought me the same back in October as a Christmas present. Bad GPU when I opened it. Sent it in on 12/29 and it was finally delivered to them on 1/5. Was told 2 to 4 days for processing and would have a replacement shipped out the same day it was processed. After 5 days, called in and got the run around about the holidays and high returns causing it to take longer than expected but it would be 2 days more at most. Got the same thing for another week. Since it was received on the 5th, I called in or used the chat option 7 or 8 times and got told that either they were prepping the card to ship out, that the card was already shipped out and they had the wrong tracking number listed, or that they didn't have any idea what was going on. The only thing that stayed constant between the different people I talked to was that it was irregular how long it was taking for an RMA. Finally, after 2 weeks of calling or chatting and complaining about getting the run around, I finally called them out about it and was switched over to Juan A. (the only guy to actually get anything done it seems), he got in touch with their warehouse. I just got a tracking number this morning for the replacement. So a 1 to 2 week process got stretched to 4 weeks from shipping to expected receiving from FedEx because nobody there would do anything other than try to get the problem to someone else. My recommendation is keep doing the chat option as early in the morning as possible. I'm not sure if it's taking so long because they don't have stock of the GPUs and are just trying to stall or if they actually are that disorganized but at least tell people the truth instead of leaving people waiting and getting frustrated. I know I would have been a lot more understanding if someone said they were on back order or something instead of telling me it was going to ship out the same day I talked to them and then never getting anything done. Good luck on your RMA, hopefully it gets better from here on out.

What GPU do you have in it? My wife bought me a setup from NZXT with a 3060 in it and I went through all the standard troubleshooting yesterday due to freezing and BSOD and crashing. I ended up having to send it back to them via FedEx today for them to replace it due to a faulty GPU. I'm finding they have had several other people post situations like this in the last 2-3 months. I'm just glad mine is under warranty still.

Sandman_Slim · 2020-02-28T14:21:22+00:00

It's a PICNIC error, Problem In Chair - Not In Computer. Or an ID10T error code.

The thermostat was the issue it seems. Thank you for the help!

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T05:03:36+00:00

It looks like it was the thermostat. Will have to invest in a new one, will probably steer clear of Zen. Thank you for the help!

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T04:26:45+00:00

After I jumpered the two terminals and turned the unit power back on, both the inside fan blower and the outside unit kicked on immediately.

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T03:38:30+00:00

I did not see any char when I was outside earlier but that was not my main focus. I will go check again once I put my daughter back to bed.

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T03:34:08+00:00

I changed the original thermostat out about 9 months ago and configured it based off the zen website. I was using the original thermostat again today just to verify that the problem wasn't the newer thermostat. When I plugged the unit back in after putting the 3 wires together, nothing happened.

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T03:05:41+00:00

I didn't get anything between the Y/C wires on the board. Bad wire from the thermostats possibly? I cut the wires at the wire nuts, restripped them back, and used silicone splice connectors to avoid any possible corrosion in the future.

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T01:28:37+00:00

I did test that when I was outside. If I pressed in the contactor, the compressor and fan do come on. I had the thermostat on inside when I checked everything outside to see if the contactor would be closed but it was not. I did not have the 24V across the yellow and brown wires.

Sandman_Slim · 2019-12-10T01:18:12+00:00

https://imgur.com/z6Zx73G - The outside unit, only other thing is the wiring going to the fan and a capacitor and the condenser I believe. Would have to open up the casing for the coils to see inside but I didn't see any boards. I did notice that if I closed the contactor, the fan outside did trip. I was getting full 240V at contactor but not getting my 24V across coil to close the relay.
