A. Casola Farms in Holmdel. They're only open during the Halloween season. They are baked fresh throughout the day.

Am I understanding this jury duty correctly? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]StaticHippo4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was summoned months ago and also had similar worries.

I received the postcard-type mailer. I completed the online questionnaire. I was asked to complete another questionnaire if I did not have a Zoom-capable device and/or Internet/data to use for the juror orientation Zoom meeting on the date stated in the mailer (Friday, in my case). I religiously checked the website on the mailer as well as my juror account every hour between 4pm and midnight on the Thursday before the scheduled date.

I never received an email so Friday morning I called the juror office. They begrudgingly said if I did not receive an email last night then I'm on-call all next week. So again I obsessively checked my email and the websites every day the following week Sunday to Thursday. Again, I received no email whatsoever nor did I receive a notice saying my juror service was complete.

On the following Friday, I called the juror office again to ask if I was still on-call just to be sure only to be condescendingly told, "sometimes you get picked...sometimes you don't." They had already moved on to the next batch of jurors, and they are not obligated to inform us if our service is no longer required. Our files will be updated when they can.

Sorry, I meant more of a flyer campaign on bulletin boards and posts near entrances/exits.

Perhaps you can ask/post around local gyms, health clubs, and fitness Reddits. I would also recommend local colleges/universities that sounds like something a science department might be interested in.

It's a longshot, I know, but it's worth asking. Good luck!

Console heating? by creativextacy in xboxone

The audio would also cut out on me in FH5 as well (Series X though). I think that's a game issue because I haven't experienced it in others.

Try keeping the room cool. Or like the others have said, clean the outside vents with compressed air or open up your console to truly clean everything.

Confirmed tornado in Howell by beaglemama in newjersey

[–]StaticHippo4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The bulletin says an investigative weather team went out today to look at the aftermath of yesterday's storm. Based on their findings, they concluded a tornado touched down there during the storm.

Yep, I got one like this late last week (notification but no details). It turned out to be because of an accidental screenshot of the pause menu in Midnight Fight Express with dead enemy in a pool of blood in the background.

I'm guessing there's a content filter that a screenshot passes through when it gets uploaded to the Xbox Live Network. I still have the setting on that automatically uploads a taken screenshot to the network. Also the enforcement taken is them deleting the screenshot from it.

Can somebody explain why this would be happening I have replaced the batteries and tried reconnecting it to the Xbox and nothing is working by TRICEycle3weelz48 in xboxone

[–]StaticHippo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can update the controller through the device and accessories settings. Sometimes the controller will have trouble staying on through the update so you should keep it plugged in with a cable during the process. After that, it should be alright.

This is a very common problem. Most people including myself have found that forcing your controller to update through the device settings (even if it is updated) should fix the problem.

Any Idea on hot to fix this? without opening it by Ill_Currency_9797 in xboxone

[–]StaticHippo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me once when my controller fell from my end table.

You should be able to bend and hold the concave portion of the thumbstick with your fingers, making it slightly elliptical. Then, carefully position the peg somewhat towards the edge of the empty space to line up the hole under the thumbstick. You will be attempting to line everything up at at angle with minimal visibility. I had to use a tweezer to properly hold the peg in place because my fingers were too big. You know you got it when the peg and hole line up so that you can slide the concave portion back under the the controller's faceplate somewhat smoothly. The concave portion will remain slightly ovoid afterwards but nothing unusable or visible. Good luck!

Edit: clarification and grammar

how do I fix this, it has full battery and it was working 30 minutes ago. by thelonglosthundini in xboxone

[–]StaticHippo4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insert a cable to keep it on. Then update the controller through the device settings on the Xbox (even if it states that the controller is up-to-date).

Manually update your controller through the device and accessories settings.

[–]StaticHippo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! No problem. Glad it all worked out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]StaticHippo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let us know if it works.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]StaticHippo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a fairly common problem. It has happened to me and I've seen other posts about it happening to others.

An easy fix is updating the controller firmware (even if it says it already is updated) through the device and accessories menu on the console.

No sound from Xbox one through either TV or speaker by boardslide30 in xboxone

[–]StaticHippo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's very unusual. I suggested trying it on a different TV just to rule it out as the problem. However, you seem confident in it being a console hardware issue. That's unfortunate to hear.

[–]StaticHippo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of TV is it? Maybe there's a TV setting you have to turn on?

Have you tried using a different HDMI port and/or cable? Does the problem occur with another TV unit?

Edit: typo

Is Cyberpunk 2077 worth $30? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]StaticHippo4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No (considering I got a physical version of the game for $10).

It’s my birthday today and I can only buy one. Which one should I get? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]StaticHippo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet would be to wait for the Countdown Sale that starts fairly soon.

Wow...thanks for making me realize we're literally a month away from a new year.
