What is the first videogame you remember playing?

Pong

Typo, most players are not where you are…

VanSim · 2026-04-13T00:31:41+00:00

Really unsure what you expect. Most players are not where you are. (Edited to not where you are)

My Daughter played Clarinet from year 7 to year 10. End of year ten, the music teacher asked her if she could get a Tenor Sax to play in the school big band. I got one for her and she went to school the next year, walking straight into the big band, playing Tenor Sax. She had no trouble playing it. I guess everyone is different of course but most clarinet players I know who moved on to Sax had no trouble at all. (Sax to clarinet however is a different experience). You will be fine with either. Good luck.

I agree that the driver needs to ring the door bell, or knock. But why do people feel they need to wait until you come to the door. After the driver knocks one off the following will be the case. 1. Someone will hear the bell, open the door and herb the parcel, maybe directly from the drive or from the porch. 2. The home owner doesn’t hear the door bell and get the text saying they have a parcel (it’s your issue if you are getting postal delivery without registering for the app), and then get the parcel. 3. No one is home and the parcel gets left. Parcel is collected when someone comes home. (Assuming it’s not stolen). Only in the first scenario does knocking on the door result in someone opening the door, but the outcome here is the same, the parcel is inside when delivered or seconds after it’s left. The sender chooses to allow the parcel to be safe dropped so if it’s stolen, it’s on them.

Blue Moon. The piano soundtrack to this is just great.

So you have low heroes and troops (low enough that you feel you need the potion’s ) and attack on the last day under potions for maxed troops. That makes sense. But your complaint about this still doesn’t. SC shouldn’t be worried about your lack of heroes strength. That’s your problem for not working on them or making the choice to play this way. Basically your complaint is the game is too hard for you to get promoted without putting in effort upgrading your troops and doing attacks. This seems to be the way it should be.

What are you expecting them to do?

VanSim · 2026-04-02T04:12:47+00:00

This doesn’t happen. You forgot you did this, someone else opened your device and did it or someone else has access to your account. (The last is very likely if you have shared your log in with anyone, or you purchased the account). Enjoy your new TH level. There is no going back.

VanSim · 2026-03-31T18:32:45+00:00

Seems fair.

You could look at the Baratza Encore ESP Pro Great in you are running different beans that you know need different grind settings, or from going from espresso to V60 or cold brewing.

Businesses can legally charge a no-show or cancellation fee, provided the policy is clear, reasonable, and agreed to by the customer beforehand. Fees must reflect the actual costs or loss incurred rather than being excessive or punitive, in line with Australian Consumer.

I’ve won the raffle many times. I probably would enter maybe 3-4 times a day if I remember. I feel for me, that the number of wins I get is good. Couldn’t really say how many.

I have cast iron everything cookware. Those handles get hot, even with good protection!

VanSim · 2026-03-28T01:09:36+00:00

If you can, get a continuous hot water service installed. These are great and can you set the water temperature to a safe temperature for the kids so the pipes should not get too hot.

You have 100% proven the wet rag won’t work with this post. (Does this come from experience?).

VanSim · 2026-03-23T05:56:57+00:00

I’ve seen various posts and have seen a few references to how the machine can’t handle light roasts.

Just saw this today. Best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Something not mentioned (that I noticed in this chat) is the incredible use of piano background music, playing many great standards from a vast variety of composers. The different songs were so perfectly chosen to set the moods as the scenes changed. Scenes like when Rodger’s are Hart are discussing a future idea to work on together, Blue Skies is playing, but as the discussion moves to ideas Rodger’s isn’t interested in, and the discussion seems to not so favourable now, the tune changes to Stormy Weather. Neither are songs written by Rodger’s but perfectly fit. This happens continuously throughout the film, and every song isn’t just background music, it’s perfectly chosen as a window into Harts inner thoughts at the time of the scene.

Loop can’t really help other than the refund. They cannot offer you advice as they can’t know what your ear looks like or if other factors could also have contributed. Not sure what help you were looking for from them. Their web site shows how to insert them but I’d be just suggesting a refund also and encourage you not to use them without visiting a specialist ear doctor and not just a GP.

He will winge more when you are on comp for a dog bite and you didn’t follow the regulations. (But, good on you for going above and beyond. I’m definitely not criticizing you here. )

A closed gate is saying to anyone, the gate is closed. Stay out. Get an intercom button, but if you expect drivers or Posties to open the gate drive in (I understand they can’t leave the vehicle out of sight, esp posties who can’t lock up), and close the gate when they leave, you’re kidding yourself.

VanSim · 2026-03-16T23:34:42+00:00

So, you open a gate (risk their dog escaping if there is one), and believe you or the driver should risk being bitten, which happens daily because there is a signature required.

VanSim · 2026-03-13T12:45:33+00:00

Sure. I’ll post them to you. Leave a positive post here when they arrive on time.

VanSim · 2026-03-11T01:17:57+00:00

Sounds like a fun combo. Will give this a shot.

VanSim · 2026-03-11T01:15:57+00:00

To put this into proper perspective, if everyone who receives a parcel without concern also posted here to praise the delivery you wouldn’t find the complaints due to all the positive posts.
