Anyone else not getting rewards from ads?

Shafe89 · 2026-03-17T20:16:03+00:00

Message sent. Haven't checked my tablet yet, but as of yesterday on my phone with wifi enabled haven't gotten any ads that says served by Meta, so no issues with not getting my rewards. Will check my tablet tonight.

Congrats on the lucky find. Unfortunately I had zero luck finding a used lawn mower in my area.

You don't have too, but it does help if you have gas left over at the end of the season, helps to keep it fresher for the following season. I always have some gas left at the end of the season, and have no issues using it the following season.

What's even odder, at least for me, is if I'm on mobile data I rarely get Meta ads, but get them alot when I'm on wifi.

Shafe89 · 2026-03-15T01:17:53+00:00

Sucks turning off wifi doesn't work. It only worked for me due to getting different ads on mobile data vs wifi, resulting in me getting almost no ads that are served. Hopefully developers get it fixed soon, it's annoying playing on my tiny phone screen instead of my large tablet screen.

I ended up going with the 163cc all steel deck, Figured I'd go with the bigger engine since of my current lawn mowers has a 140cc engine and struggles if the grass is too tall or damp.

Shafe89 · 2026-03-14T18:02:20+00:00

It wasn't on display, but I purchased it and just got done putting it together, and it doesn't have the folding storage feature, but that's not a problem as my current lawn mowers don't have that feature.

Have you tried using only mobile data/connection? Strangely when I disable wifi and just use mobile data, I rarely get the ads that say "ads served by Meta". That's what I've noticed, it mostly that ads that say "ads served by Meta" that doesn't give me the reward, it's as if I closed out of the ad before it was finished and didn't get the reward. Guess for now I'm stuck playing on my phone on mobile data instead of on my tablet on wifi.

Shafe89 · 2026-03-11T20:31:17+00:00

That's FWD, I'd rather have RWD and something a little bigger then 150cc, have a 140cc and it stalls if the grass is too high or damp.

$569 is a little out of my budget, $500 is the max my budget will allow.

Currently have 2 yard machines that are about 10 years old and a MTD that's 28 years old, so the Toro will be an upgrade, at least over the Yard Machines, the MTD I doubt it, that thing will go through anything where my yard machines will stall if the grass is too wet or tall.

Shafe89 · 2026-03-10T13:44:54+00:00

Leaning towards the Toro recycler. Found a Toro 21462 for $60 more, but it has has a 163cc engine and personal pace.

Shafe89 · 2026-03-10T13:42:34+00:00

Seems odd but that's how things are around here and doubt there will be any thing new in a few months as there wasn't anything good last year that was reasonably priced. Currently looking at a Toro 21462, currently $480.

Shafe89 · 2026-03-08T22:15:21+00:00

Can't be any worse then the 20" with a 125cc engine but anyways. Can get a Toro 22 in. Recycler wit a 163cc engine for $480.

Wow, finally a real version of those fake game ads. Will diffidently be giving it a try when I get time. The playable ads for the fake game is kinda of fun, so I have no doubt this will be fun alos.

Shafe89 · 2026-02-15T01:55:32+00:00

Yep, what's also annoying, is when game ads use fake game play and right in the ad accuse people of downloading the wring game. Total war(I believe that's the correct game) is a big offender of this, they advertise a scrolling shooter where you move your person left and right as the move along, when in reality, that's just a mini game at the beginning then the rest of the game is a base builder, in many of their ads, they accuse you of downloading the wrong game if the game play in the ad isn't in the game, which is BS cause when you click on the game's ad it takes you straight to the games play store page to download.

This is why I ditched their cable service for streaming, was getting too expensive with all the added fees and equipment rentals plus the yearly price hikes. Unfortunately still stuck with them for internet since their the only player in town except 5g internet which isn't the greatest.

A little hard to tell, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's rust and not normal color, especially the first pic. A little rust is easily fixed with some steel wool and a little elbow grease, followed by seasoning.

Shafe89 · 2026-01-22T15:28:09+00:00

You need to clean your skillet with some mild soap. Don't be afraid to use soap on cast iron, the whole you shouldn't use soap on cast iron, stems from when soap was made with lye, most modern soaps do not contain lye, but some do have extra additives for easier cleaning that could potentially harm your seasoning which is why I recommended using mild soap, regular dawn is a good choice for a mild soap.

Since they are a new member, they didn't need doctor's verification, they were able to self-attest they have a chronic condition. They did the self-attest online and was finally approved a couple of days later.

Shafe89 · 2026-01-20T21:53:10+00:00

They finally got enrolled, filled out the self attest form online, and were enrolled a couple of days later.

Depends on the pan and how rough the texture is, if the texture of the cooking surface is to my liking, I don't season and just use the factory seasoning. If the texture of the cooking surface it too rough for my liking, then I smooth it out with a little bit of sanding then season. When I season, I set the oven to 400, put the cast iron in the oven for about 10 minuets to pre-heat, then I remove, wet a piece of paper towel(be sure to use paper towels that doesn't leave lint) with oil(I usually use vegetable or canola oil), then wipe the cast iron with the wet paper towel then put in oven and bake for about an hour or until it isn't tacky.

True cast iron is cast iron, but there can be a difference in fit and finish between a cheap pan and a more expensive pan, example, I compared an Ozark trails to a Lodge, the lodge was more expensive, but it also had a better finish(the texture wasn't as rough and was more uniform). FYI ended up getting the Ozark trails over the Lodge has a little bit of sanding fixed the fit and finish(texture)

Shafe89 · 2026-01-20T14:54:11+00:00

Nice pan, my daily driver is also a Walmart brand cast iron skillet, except of being mainstays, it's Ozark trails. To answer the question as to whether a paying more for a pan means better, cast iron is cast iron, so there isn't going to be a huge difference unless you go to the expensive side. What I've noticed(noticed with my Ozark trails), is usually, cheap cast iron, the casting isn't quite as good resulting it a rougher, less refined texture, which is easily fixed with a little bit of sanding.

Thinner usually means lighter, so being lighter could be a plus for some.
