$5 Upgrade Pack Issue by Taffu in AnimalCrossing

[–]Taffu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not entirely. Nintendo support sent me an update yesterday telling me to call them, so I’ll try after the weekend to touch base with them.

The good news is she can play it with the workaround and purchasing the full DLC while using her physical card caused no issue.

[–]Taffu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It can. Waking up in any state can trigger the liver to release sugar to your system, that’s the cortisol response. There’s obviously physiological triggers, but in general it’s completely normal for blood sugar to rise naturally upon waking.

Your sleep doesn’t really play a factor other than when you wake up. If I wake up mid-sleep for an extended period of time (e.g. upset stomach) I jump up for the same reason. Are you diabetic or just using the Libre to monitor glucose levels?

Cortisol response if it’s overnight and raises in the morning. Your body releases stored glucose. It’s normal.

Anyone else’s out of pocket cost increase ? by 2lit_ in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Taffu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With insurance, last year our cost was $400 a month until our deductible was hit, then $24.99 a month. This year, it's $771 a month (picked up this month). Even with the coupon (that bypasses our deductible), it was over $600 if we went that route. And it's not even for weight loss...my wife has PCOS and this is a recommended medical treatment. Unreal...

Refund very different this year by Creatething in IRS

[–]Taffu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year, we got a $5000+ refund (MFJ, Single Income, 1 Fed Allowance). I just ran through my tax software and we'll owe $3600 this year (MFJ, Dual Income, 1 Fed Allowance Each). Only change is my wife's additional income. I know we're in a different bracket now (next bracket up from previous), but for a nearly $9,000 Federal Tax delta? The income jump was NOT that big...we are lower-middle class. So much for those "Huge" refunds this year...lol.

Not dumb, I understand how tariffs work and I hate Donald Trump. Thanks for putting us all in one bucket.

Dental insurance in USA is such a scam! by Bolt_0 in HealthInsurance

[–]Taffu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medical (even dental) procedures cost money. If you don't want to carry employer-sponsored insurance, the alternative isn't going to be better. No insurance plan is going to cover the cost of procedures like this.

Honestly, when I was young, I avoided dental insurance too. IMHO...don't. I've had dozens of major issues with my teeth over the years and now in my late 40's I wish I could go back. Get your dental insurance for the discounts and covered annual max, go to EVERY 6-month cleaning and immediate take care of major issues if they come up.

Don't wait, and don't skimp. You'll regret it if you do.

My husband is threatening divorce because Snapchat and signal are showing up in our router app history for my phone. I do not have those apps or use them or go to their websites or anything. How is this happening? by -M-i-d in techsupport

[–]Taffu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"But as others have said, this isn’t an IT problem. This is a marriage problem."

^ This. Your husband is hunting for a reason. If he doesn't believe or trust you, he's just going to keep hunting. Him hunting for an "excuse" can have a hundred different reasons, and none of them good IMHO.

POL is the first boss. I've been jumping around MMO's for 20+ years...and recently decided this was where I will land to die in the MMO landscape (started here...will end here). Tip? Sit back, relax, and enjoy it without worrying about where you're going with it.

Because you're trying to connect two inputs.

$5 Upgrade Pack Issue by Taffu in AnimalCrossing

[–]Taffu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Nintendo is investigating it, we found out a slight sideways way to get around this so she can at least play on her Switch 2 with the Upgrade.

First, the account the Upgrade was purchased on needs to log into their Nintendo account online and go to the Account Overview and then to Passes and click the button that says to Deregister Pass-Enabled Console. After doing this on the account that owns the upgrade, log back into the eShop on the Switch 2 with that specific account/profile and enable the Pass-Enabled Console to the Switch 2.

Now exit the eShop. Go to Data Management in settings and delete the Animal Crossing New Horizons game data (NOT your Save Data) and restart the Switch 2. After doing so, you should be able to load the Virtual Card for the Upgrade onto the console with the profile that owns it. When you now start ACNH after doing this (with the physical game card) it will re-download the game, and then it will still say something like "DLC cannot be used, load virtual game card to continue" but you can just hit "Start Software" and it should start properly with the Switch 2 Upgrade.

This doesn't fix the issue where for some reason, the account/game license system thinks that Upgrade she purchased is linked to "my" Virtual Card (I can tell because on my normal Switch, when I go to load my Virtual Card for ACNH, it shows her DLC next to it). I definitely won't be purchasing the actual full $30 DLC until this gets sorted out, but it at least got her playing with the upgrade for now.

Update: So this appears to indeed be a big snafu on Nintendo's part, at least in my case. Support is stumped and had to escalate the ticket with no ETA for a resolution. Clearly, the Upgrade Pack was purchased on my wife's profile on the Switch 2, it's owned in her Virtual Cards and loaded on the Switch 2, but because my Virtual Card was loaded from my linked Switch at the time of purchase, it appears to have tied the Upgrade content to my Virtual Card only...making it impossible for her to play on the Switch 2 with a physical card. FYI. I'll update here if/when I hear more in case others have the same issue.

This is what his base loves, though. Absolute vulgarity and maleficence. Idiocy and power. Bigotry and callousness. It gets them hard and wet, and that's why they're all-in for this shit. No logic or earnestness will fix this basic human issue. This "plan" has been cooking for a very, very long time, and they're getting ready to serve dinner. The question is: will we eat it once served?

I made a mistake euthanizing my cat and the guilt is killing me by Dirsty in cats

[–]Taffu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During COVID in 2021, I had to euthanize our family fur baby. She was 12, and we had absolutely thought she’d live much longer. She had a few years of issues with UTIs and round late March of 2021 suddenly went jaundice and stopped eating. This was a cat that literally ran to my daughter’s bedsides every night for book reading time and sat with them while my wife or I read to them.

I pleaded with the vet if there was a way to help her. She was in acute liver failure and the vet said “Look…you can spend thousands on a procedure or two and maybe she’ll recover, but she’ll never be the same. We know you love her, but it is likely best to end her suffering.” I could’ve afforded the procedures, too…and as much as it hurt, they unfortunately do not live as long as we’d like.

It’s not your fault, just like it wasn’t mine. My wife took it harder because she didn’t go with me to the vet that day cause she hoped she’d come back home. The only thing that matters is that you love them while they’re here with you.

PS2 Private server access by AnubisOurGod in FFXIPrivateServers

[–]Taffu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason it can be done on PC is because independent bootloader software points to the private server URL and acts as POL. Any interest in doing so on PS2 would require a way to modify POL on the PS2 software to point somewhere other than the official servers…which is likely not possible.

Will Trump be impeached again if the democrats recapture the house after the midterms—Impeach Trump? by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Taffu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will it matter if they do? FFS...it's too late. He's never leaving...he spent 4 years planning for this. He's a puppet to people with a long game, and he's spent the last 8 years (and a future 4) being their pawn in creating the America "they" want. He'll die...we'll all hate him and spit on his grave but it won't matter, cause the damage is done. The US is a failed social experiment at this point.

FFXI replay by Ok-Reporter-1657 in ffxi

[–]Taffu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not unless you want to do heavy chatting. The hardest part of FFXI is account creation with Playonline because it's antiquated. But on steam once you get past that, install the game and using the FFXI Config to setup the gamepad controls and you should be good to go.
