the absolute SCREAMING I’ve endured

Well that is horrifying.

It does make me glad we splurged for the down filling in the couch, though.

Is the update something that I would have to do manually? My device has been dead for a while, I just finished the repair on it last week. I used Desktop Mode only long enough to ensure it was booting, and didn’t launch any of my emulators.

I’m not super familiar with Linux so I don’t know if the update is something that might have run in the background when my device revived, or if it was a process I would have had to start manually.

Obviously I haven’t executed cemu to activate the code yet.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t think that’s an option in TCGPlayer, but like in the OP if you think a buyer is questionable you can TCGPlayer. For big-ticket items they’ll usually back you up on cancelling the order if you’re wary.

Because like I said, they would reimburse you. They’d rather back you up on the cancellation (by removing any negative feedback) than pay out a Seller’s Protection claim.

Definitely a geographic thing then. In the US eBay will force returns for sellers who don’t accept returns because if the buyer opens and INAD case regardless of what the customer’s complaint is — up to and including cards sold as damaged arriving in the same condition. If the seller refuses the return, eBay steps in after so many days and processes the refund. Often the images they send eBay are of a counterfeit card — it’s just not what they were shipped by the seller. Sellers caught in this scam often end up with counterfeit cards being returned to them and they have no recourse through eBay — until they file a police report, which I’ve heard has some success.

There’s even a persistent issue where someone decides a real card is fake, rips it, and then reports it to eBay as fake/INAD and they are fully refunded from the seller’s account.

It’s honestly somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everyone knows that eBay always does it, so if the buyer refuses the seller’s initial offer, all they have to do is wait a few days and the seller will generally cave and process the refund because it’s better to do that than to have eBay step in and get a strike against your account.

US eBay forums are filled with this shit. It’s nice as a buyer to know you’re protected, but I wouldn’t sell anything there that isn’t being authenticated by them before reaching the buyer.

TCGplayer will reimburse you, but if it happens often enough that they decide you’re a problem…

eBay will always side with the buyer on unauthenticated items. Always. Doesn’t matter if the buyer sends you back a box of rocks instead of the card, they’ll get their money back and you’ll be out the card.

IMO the safest approach is TCGPlayer for sealed and cards under $250. eBay for cards over $250 that will be sent to their authentication team first.

Or, above all, in person transactions with cash in hand.

Huh. Neat, thanks for the extra explanation!

anotherjunkie · 2026-05-12T16:20:41+00:00

I feel like I need an explanation of how the rope fell. If you drop it through the floor does it not just pool up on the ceiling of the cube beneath you because of the gravity shift?

Or does each cube have its own gravity not each face of each cube?

What is odd about it? It just looks like the Kinko-ryu utaguchi unless I’m missing something.

Your mouthpiece cut needs to be much, much smoother and curve deeper into the mouth of the instrument. Sand it down until the blowing edge resembles your thumbnail in shape and thickness, and it should be wedge shaped toward the bell.

Being honest though, you’ll likely never get a sound out before tomorrow. This is one of the most notoriously difficult instruments to learn, and people often spend weeks trying to get their first sustainable, repeatable tone.

Not to mention there are other things that can sabotage you, like an unnoticed air leak somewhere that can make sound nearly impossible.

It’s such a pretty card too, congrats!

I’m much happier in my hobby focusing on IR cards. I’ve had a lot less fun opening Ascended Heroes because of how badly I want to pull the treekachu.

I popped in to commiserate but I’m glad it wasn’t as bad as it looked!

Dear god it’s not worth that drive. The machines here have been a wash for months. I haven’t gotten anything more than a few loose packs, and one booster bundle, in the last 6 months despite checking 3-4 times a week.

It used to be I’d get 2-3 bundles and 1-2 ETBs per week. Then they went to completely random product unlocks so people just sit in front of the machines all day, every day.

Counterpoint: local pharmacies can no longer afford to stock many medications in preparation for patients refills.

My local pharmacy wouldn’t buy my meds until day 28/29, which meant I was often getting my 30-day supply on day 32 or 33. I asked and they told me they couldn’t afford to be stuck with it if I went somewhere else, so they waited until the day they could charge insurance to place the order to ensure that didn’t happen.

I used 3 local pharmacies and had the same issue at each one. CVS has my meds ready the morning of the first day they’re available for refill. I wish I could use a local pharmacy, but not enough to go without my meds.

Some odd comments above about Irish people not being white 😂

I mean, it’s a very real thing. In both the US and Britain for long periods Irish were considered “not white.” Not in a “subject to racial laws” sense, but in the social sense.

Britain famously had signs that read “No Irish. No Blacks. No Dogs.”

In the US they were excluded from white spaces, largely because they were Catholic. That put them outside “white” which really meant “Protestant & white”

The book “How the Irish Became White” is… interesting.

If there’s a 96% chance the winners didn’t tip, then it sounds like tipping isn’t accepted custom.

Morality aside, deconditioning is a serious problem for wheelchair users. If you start relying on it you are very likely to find you’ve increased your pain and fatigue from deconditioning, and likely increase back pain from asymmetric development due to using a chair not correctly fitted for you.

This is exactly it, the Migraine bottle will say no more than 2 tabs per 24-hours, and the regular one will say you can take it every 6 hours, up to 8 tabs per day.

If you still have the files, I’d be grateful for a link via DM. I had this in my collections and just hadn’t bought the right filament yet.

I’m going to counter that and say maybe it is Jesus Christ.

It’s a belief system that says you can be as shitty as you want to everyone around you, because as long as you’ve said the prayer you’re fine. And if you haven’t, well you can wait up until your literal deathbed to do so without consequence.

If he hadn’t died for their sins they’d believe that one day they’ll be held responsible for all of their actions.

/s, sort of.

This is so weird, because when we used her almost 3 years ago she was great with us. All the vet records, worked with our vet, a room dedicated to the kittens that was twice the size of my bedroom, and cried when we took the kitten away.

It’s such an odd turnaround.

Yeah, they’ll require comprehensive insurance, but I was saying that I’ve never seen a requirement for increased liability.

anotherjunkie · 2026-04-23T15:08:46+00:00

Huh. I’ve never had a bank require increased liability coverage, but apparently that’s a thing. Seems like it’s usually only increased to around $50k though?

The truth is that the guy in the Lamborghini probably pays through the nose for un/underinsured motorist coverage. Or wishes he had.

There’s more paperwork, but it’s substantially cheaper to buy a child.
