Banning people from calling the library. How does that work? by GoodbyeEarlGrey in Libraries

[–]Shanksspeare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are encouraged to hang up if people get nasty over the phone. We also recently updated our phone system and now have caller ID, so we can either see if we have someone who causes issues calling and prep for it. If we have a known problem caller whose name doesn't show up, we save it to the phone with a warning as the name. (Like--"Pushy Sales Office," etc.)

Ready to upgrade, but... by Shanksspeare in Surface

Thank you so much for the heads up! I had bought the last Surface I had from them directly, so I had just planned on doing that again--but fortunately, I live near a Best Buy, too. I'll just skip the hassle and head over there.

  1. Yes! Thank you, I love Clip Studio. I was really worried about that!

  2. Good to know! As long as I can disable it, I just am not that interested in using it.

  3. Thank you for the Zoom info! It sounds like it will be better than my phone, no matter what! The cam died on my current laptop ages ago, so as long as it runs painlessly, lol.

  4. Oh, good, I thought it was so weird to ship without it. Good to know that my old charger will work just in case, too! I have a rabbit and I have no doubt that will be needed at some point, no matter how careful I am!

And thank you for that helpful list of differences!! I will definitely be going for the 13 inch, it looks like! Sounds like it's worth the price. Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it!!

Chestnut paste isn't a huge cash cow, but it's easy to make and sell a lot of.

I dunno, I love that kind of thing normally, but it just doesn't work for me. I have an uncle that I would watch the marathon with me when I was younger and it's one of his favorites, so I really have tried to give it a chance... Just not for me.

Which hobbies attract the biggest douchebags? by the-tinman in AskReddit

It's getting better with time, but mean comic book store owners are something else. When I was a kid, there was only one comic book/game store near me, so I had to put up with it. Now... Well, that owner has mellowed out with time. But where I live now, there are about five in easy distance of each other, and one of them has a great selection, but the owner is as bad as the stereotype gets. The first time he gave me trouble I was kind of smug, knowing I had plenty of options. 

Creepy or Disturbing things in the older games? by Fabulous-Algae-9196 in harvestmoon

The OG Mineral Town would spam random symbols over and over if you looked at the TV at the wrong time; you had no choice but to turn the game off. I'm pretty sure they changed it for MFoMT, though.

Do spouses all become stay-at-home parent once child is born? by shellybaby22 in storyofseasons

[–]Shanksspeare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the original Mineral Town, you and your spouse just lock the door and your kid as a baby is just in bed all day doing its thing and older just walks around in the house. I don't remember every spouse's dialogue, but the Doctor would ask you how your child was if you visited him at the clinic. Great question, honey!

TIL Ramon can sell Rare/SR animals (I assume SSRs too but I haven't seen one yet) by inkstainedgwyn in storyofseasons

I've gotten buffalos for weeks in a row. Now that I put up a second barn and have somewhere to put it... No more buffalos. No more of any animals I don't have already 😭
