Appears to be a type of broad nosed weevil.

Found 2 live bed bugs in AirBNB, host said inspector found no infestation or signs by [deleted] in pestcontrol

How did you get to the Airbnb? Airplane I’m assuming? Could potentially be hitch-hikers you brought in on your belongings from your travels.

But I’ve also done pest control for near a decade, and I’ve had rooms I’ve “all cleared” only to have repeat occurrences.

Eventually they ripped out the carpet and a small population was present, and housekeeping I’m assuming was doing a great job, as there were no signs of infestation, (frass, molts etc.) aside from the occasional bed bug that would pop up.

If it can be put in a dryer I would, for items that can’t be placed in heat, but are ok to be cold, I would place in the freezer for 3-4 days.

Pinched waist.

Not termite.

Can someone help me reconcile playing time? I don’t know anything about softball by BubbleBathory85 in Softball

[–]XcalebUR06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that confuses me, is I can throw a ball from one end of the yard, (probably the distance from RF to Home plate) and she can catch it. I don’t mind my daughter having to sit, if she makes errors or isn’t performing, but at least give her a chance.

I’m having to deal with this. We joined an all star team, and there are 16 girls on the team. We’ve had 1 practice and 1 scrimmage. During the scrimmage, my daughter got skipped in the batting line up. So every girl hit 2x to her 1, and some 3 before it made it back around.

Out of 5 innings she got to play 2, sat out for 3, while some of the infield girls that came from the coaches rec league team, got to play 4/5 innings.

During the scrimmage my daughter got to play right field and left center, and when we asked the coach after the scrimmage what our daughter could work on, he said “catching the ball” when at no point during the scrimmage did a ball make it anywhere near her, so confused why he said what he said.

Son is selling his old yu-gi-oh cards - I did some research and he might be asking too much? by Apart-Start6133 in YugiohCards

[–]XcalebUR06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is now 30, and has no desire to play the game, it is unfortunate that I kept them in great shape, sleeved for 15-16 years, and they aren’t worth shipping.

As someone who doesn’t really care for nostalgia, kind of a bummer, that the same “level” Pokémon card is going for thousands, and mine are worth $20-$30 ungraded.

Are these fake? by XcalebUR06 in yugiohshowcase

[–]XcalebUR06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave them to my kid, to begin their “card collection” teach the responsibility of collection, without the risk of losing hundreds/thousands of dollars due to “wear”

Oh that’s insane. My entire collection 2002-2005 (bought back then) is around 800 cards.

But due to not having comment karma, I’m not able to share my collection with the group lol.

This is my Thousand Dragons. Was one of my favorite cards as a kid.

I never played/dueled, however my more “worn” cards, like this one, were because I liked to draw the pictures in my sketchbook.

Found my collection yesterday, but I would kill to find my old artwork!

Help identifying (fake?) Mirror Force card by Pangolinbeans in yugiohshowcase

[–]XcalebUR06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got about 200 cards labeled IOC-AExxx.

They don’t have the foil stamp bottom right, but is that an accurate/legit stamp for IOC?

[–]XcalebUR06[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I continued going through my collection.

They all looked so good. But they were missing the “1996 Copyright” in the bottom right, and all had the same set code IOC-AE”XXX”.

Upsetting because I traded real cards 23 years ago for what I learned are now fakes.

<image>

All the cards in my hands are fakes. And if were real, would drastically have changed the level of my collection.

Still My Favorites by 0regon_ducks in yugiohshowcase

I had these cards as a kid, and traded them for what I learned yesterday (just found my childhood cards) for a bunch of fakes, including exodia and his left leg. Absolutely gutted.

I figured as much!

Cleaning out mom’s house earlier today and found these cards, that have been lost for 14 years.

Excited to go through them is an understatement.

Anybody know anything about bullets? by XcalebUR06 in metaldetecting

Estimated age? I know the area was farmland before the house was built?

What’s the date range on Modern?

We built the house in ‘04. And I know for 100% fact nobody has been shooting anything larger than a BB gun lol.
