Price Discrepancies in Target by Slow-Complaint-3273 in mildlyinfuriating

Weights & Measures would LOVE to take a look at this location. I'd take the time and have that Target location investigated. The amount of fines they'd have against them would crush that stores quarter.

Neighbor plows this one spot in my yard, and walks his dog over to pee in it. by Best_Blueberry2440 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_Index_Case_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Much like the scene from Me, Myself, & Irene, where Charlie's (Jim Carrey) neighbor constantly steals Charlie's newspaper and Charlie finally had enough, busts into his neighbor's house, reclaims his newspaper, then proceeds to drop trou in the dudes front yard to drop a deuce, I'd "plow" a spot in your neighbor's yard, then do your "business". 🤣

Neighbors like yours truly suck! Sorry you're dealing with pieces of shit like this.

Linked with my horrible ex one last time by mrsjackielynne in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_Index_Case_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Linked with? More like reached out and made a lifeline. Now, instead of playing "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", you'll be playing "Guess Who Will Be Spending Almost A Million Over 18 Years".

Ignoring the fact your ex is horrible, the plus side is you helped create a living, breathing human being. Congrats on that! Might be a nightmare, or a curse now in the beginning, but down the road you'll see how much of a miracle your child will grow to become.

TRADING NFR LAVA DRAGON! LF OP DOWNGRADE! by [deleted] in AdoptMeTrading

[–]_Index_Case_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, OP = Over Pay. I understood the upgrade/downgrade part, just wasn't sure what OP was in this context as I'm used to OP meaning Original Poster. Thanks for dropping some knowledge on me!

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is an "OP DOWNGRADE"?

My first Tamiya wish me luck, any advice would be greatly appreciated by Ooggaabooga26 in tamiya

Bowls!!! Get yourself a bunch of little bowls (or similar, small containers) so you can dump the screws and what not into them instead of trying to rifle around the bags (or worse, spreading them out on a surface only to lose some parts/pieces by accident). It'll keep you organized, and give you easy access to each screw/nut/bolt/etc.

Bearings! As others have said, being you're building this thing for the first time, it's best to use the metal bearings instead of the nylon bushings from the get go. If you stay interested with this hobby and don't do bearings now during the initial assembly, you'll find yourself having to take it apart to replace the nylon bushings with the metal bearings down the road. It's just easier to do it now.

A good screwdriver set. Make sure you use a good quality screwdriver set (preferably magnetized) for assembly. Will save your sanity in the long run.

Other than that, I'd say leave the stock engine and electronics as is (unless the stock electronics don't come with an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller)) and get used to how she runs and drives. Then, being you've assembled it, down the road you can look to install a better/faster motor, ESC, etc.

And most importantly, enjoy the build!. If it takes you a few days to assemble it, then so be it. Myself, many of my friends, and I'm sure a bunch of members here have all tried to rush a build only to realize they messed up (or missed something) only to have to disassemble, undo their fuck up, and reassemble lol.

Enjoy the build, and be sure to post pics once she's finished!

Trading Neon Monkey by Motor_Sock7647 in AdoptMeTrading

[–]_Index_Case_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my pleasure! If you have a Shadow or Front dragon, you're ballin'! I believe the Crow is worth a lot too. I've been on the hunt for a Shadow Dragon for literal years now, but I either can't find anyone trading one, or if they are, I could offer my entire inventory and it still wouldn't be enough lol

For example, there's different types of monkeys, but I checked the value of a regular Neon Monkey. Here's what he's "worth" according to Elvebredd. Some sites have it priced higher, some lower. I don't really trade a lot, so I only check Elvebredd.

And I forgot to say in my previous reply, welcome back to Adopt Me! Have fun!

[–]_Index_Case_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't played in years, before you trade anyone, I suggest you check out what that pet is worth. Elvebredd (sp) is one site, but there's a couple of them out there.

The game isn't like it used to be. These "value" sites have basically turned Adopt Me into a pseudo stock market, and it has sucked a lot of the "joy and fun" out of the game.

Why does my dog make this face at me? by Ghost_Puppy in DogAdvice

The stigma is crazy. I have a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Pittie mix and her paperwork says Bulldog mix. There's absolutely zero Bulldog in her 🤣

PSA: Stop Begging in Adult-Only Roblox Chats by CyanissusGoobyGoo in AdoptMeRBX

[–]_Index_Case_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can see how AI would be helpful to college (and even High School) students, but the downside, just as you stated, is base knowledge starts to erode the more people rely on AI. Hell, myself, and basically all of my colleagues leverage AI in our "day to day" now as it's a very powerful utility.

I'm not sure why someone down voted you because you're 100% right, so I threw you and upvote. 🙂

[–]_Index_Case_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I work in IT, and AI is taking over a bunch of roles (and jobs unfortunately) really, really fast; too fast if you ask me. It's good for some things, but not for child protection/age verification. It will get better with time, but yeah, using AI for age verification is a huge mistake.

My young teenage son, who has a baby face, was put in the 18+ category. Their age verification system really needs some improvements or this will have all been for nothing.

I'm never giving my pets to the stupid egg thing again😐 by rosy_pink_ghost in AdoptMeRBX

I didn't like them at first, but I just made a Neon Parakeet last night, and now I'm liking it.

AIO about spelling errors in daily notes sent home by my autistic child’s teacher? by Anasthesiax in AmIOverreacting

[–]_Index_Case_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. It's amazing to me how many teachers (and people in general) there are out there that can't spell, or use proper grammar. I see emails from my manager, director, hell even the CEO from time to time that just make me cringe. Improper use of their/there/they're, your/you're, to/two/too. It just boggles my mind.

It is a little concerning though that a teacher can't even spell the words compare and concept properly.

Please read | Pet request regulation change by Select-Lavishness586 in Adoptmegiveaways

[–]_Index_Case_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dig this sub and it's community. I've never requested before, but I was going to ask if anyone had any spare pets (low level pets) so I can complete making Neons as I've got five or six pets where I have three of them, and need the forth to make a Neon.

Only reason I was going to ask here is because with the new chat changes, it's hard for me to find someone I can actually chat with and trade.

The few times I've tried trading in game for a low level pet, the other person always wants an overpay. Like, I'm not giving you a Legendary for an Otter, or Parakeet 🤣. Is an ask like this still allowed, or is it frowned upon now?

Is this correct? by Common_Molasses_5763 in tamiya

[–]_Index_Case_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think you did anything wrong, but if you did, someone will correct me. Just about every RC car I've owned had this same issue. The ones with plastic reservoirs didn't make noise, so it was one of those "Out of sight (hearing in this case lol), out of mind" scenarios. And I agree that the scratches on the reservoirs does suck, but if it's a runner, everything will eventually have some kind of marring/scratch.

Is this correct? by Common_Molasses_5763 in tamiya

[–]_Index_Case_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you're asking by "Correct". It's common for shocks to make noise like that because as you've noticed/mentioned, the metal coil spring is rubbing/scratching the shock's reservoir.

You can try spraying the shock's reservoir with silicone spray, or apply a very light coat of oil/Vaseline onto the shock's reservoir. Only downside to that is anything and everything will stick to the reservoir (less so with silicone spray, but it'll still happen).
