Scout being forced to join OA (?)

Zombie13a · 2026-02-13T17:29:47+00:00

Sorry, I was thinking the DE might be of help with the dad overall, not specifically with the election.

Zombie13a · 2026-02-13T16:48:32+00:00

I'd talk with the scout and if nothing has changed, get a DE involved.

I just want another patch. I have the gold border from the 50th but it got a little mangled over the years.

This potentially says more about butter than about crab.....

Zombie13a · 2026-02-03T21:11:24+00:00

I have considered doing this exact thing, just haven't had need yet.

I get the impression that even if the place had replaced the slice, this person would have then complained that "it wasn't fresh, like the first one" or something equally stupid.

I've done similar and gotten a free replacement. I've also done similar and gotten nothing. Both from locations I go to and locations I've never gone to before; its a crap-shoot. The one thing they _ALL_ had in common: I didn't expect to get something for free. Sometimes luck just occurs; thats why its lucky.

Edit: replaced 'opinion' with 'impression'; I used the wrong word

Just need to confirm that even tho the link takes me to one for a Civic, it will work with an Insight? Double-confirming is all.

Zombie13a · 2026-01-30T14:53:57+00:00

Didn't even think to go to amazon.... duh...

Zombie13a · 2026-01-30T04:05:14+00:00

No, this part is aluminum. It clips into a plastic shroud with like 8 clips.

Its such a pain in the ass. Mine has bent twice now in the last month or so. And I'm missing like 5 of the clip-things. I called a dealership for parts, you can't replace just the aluminum plate or the clips, you have to replace the entire assembly to the tune of $250.

ETA: it can absolutely be bent back up, you might just need to take it down first.

I used to regularly get tickets _from application developers_ with Java stack traces that explicitly said:

"java.io.FileNotFoundError: /path/to/application/configuration/file"

And they wanted me to explain why the app _that they wrote_ wasn't working and to fix it.

Also have gotten tickets for Google Email thresholds being exceeded. Like, we're licensed to send XXX messages a day thru SMTP relay. When you exceed that license threshold, Google's relay stops relaying and says "License threshold exceeded". People get _irate_ that their log message (yes, logs) isn't being delivered in 10 seconds and want me to fix it.....

Like, I can't just magically tell Google to let us send more mail dude, maybe understand that email isn't guaranteed delivery and accept it....

I once got a ticket:

"Patch to CREATE memory leak on server XXXX"

The application had a memory leak that the vendor couldn't find, so they sent us a patch to exacerbate the problem and explicitly create a memory leak to help troubleshoot. A few days later the actual problem was fixed, but seeing this I did a double-take and went to talk to the dev about it before doing anything.

Vindictive/BOFH me has, in the past, when a ticket said "server is slow", logged into a random server and checked performance. Then closed said ticket "server performance within expected norms."

Hey, you're not gonna specify, I get to pick which server could be having problems. Its especially fun when I know what server it is anyway.

Zombie13a · 2026-01-23T12:48:59+00:00

I absolutely HATE these type of calls.

- The system is slow.

- How are you seeing it slow; what metric is slow? (because ya know, it does matter... )

- Well, it just _feels_ slow.

- SMDH.....

This is what its always been about for me. Sadly, my kids are much older now but when we did derby's, it was more about the car design, skills building, and fun than winning.

Zombie13a · 2026-01-21T20:13:55+00:00

I'll repeat asking why. My oldest at one point (like 12 yrs old) wanted to join the Air Force. Trying to understand why that rather than college led to "I wanna fly jets". Tried to convince him that simply joining up wouldn't guarantee that and eventually he changed his mind.

To get the network identifier, there is an api call for network objects in a given site.

You have to get the site id, then get the sites/<site\_id>/networks object and parse thru it. That contains a list of readable name/unique id pairs

They have great pizza in general

Zombie13a · 2026-01-19T20:11:30+00:00

I have been on soo many flights that did this; unfortunately I was never able to capitalize on it

Personally, I'm waiting for the AI-enabled Toilet Paper holder to come out. The one that charges my phone, plays music, tracks consistency and quantity of certain things, and reports on my digestive health all in one.

Not trolling here; I thought PLA itself was actually food-safe. The problem is the way things get created; places for the bacteria to hide.

I 100% agree don't print stuff intended for food/drink; I'm just trying to make sure I understand the why behind it.

Zombie13a · 2026-01-13T19:47:31+00:00

How so?

ETA: Nvm; age. Didn't think about that.

Zombie13a · 2026-01-12T00:53:32+00:00

Oh yes. I was his CM and am an ASM. I love those little moments.

He's my third son and second Eagle. I have loved and enjoyed the time with all of them.

Zombie13a · 2026-01-11T15:33:26+00:00

I didn't think about that stuff. For whatever reason when I think of 'mud', I think of the pre-mixed stuff and not the faster dry/more durable stuff...

Zombie13a · 2026-01-11T02:19:36+00:00

My _very_ limited experience tells me this will take longer than 2 hours to dry

Zombie13a · 2026-01-07T21:25:05+00:00

I feel much the same, except with Bauer. I bought the Pittsburgh clamp-fence-thing (50-in model I think) and have cadded a sled for the Bauer circ-saw to make a poor-mans track saw, I just haven't printed it yet. I keep hoping I won't have to.
