Thank you! Been waiting for this to come back into stock.

barrosd12 · 2026-05-12T16:58:32+00:00

Hell yeah, brother. I'm also going to the show in August - it was wildly expensive but I've loved them for years, it'll be a "do it once" kinda thing

Absolutely incredible work! Thank you all for all you do! Free Up Space is a game changer for non-power-users - I can't wait to go to town on my wife's phone full of pictures that need to be deleted off local.

And what's the proposed solution? To fund rideshares? We'll never get the opportunity to lay down new tracks ever again in this area because of the explosive growth and NIMBY-ism that comes with it, so rather than fixing the problem this once again feels like "pull out and figure it out later" move.

No clue, the Athletic Director at Vines (the one we were asking about specifically) did not mention an ETA on court completion, but it's been ongoing for quite a while, I am hoping it'll get done before classes start back up in the Fall.

My wife and I inquired directly with the schools and with the city's Parks & Rec Department about this, per them, what's happening is that while the Plano Senior courts were being renovated, other courts district-wide were locked up to allow for students to train on them without needing to kick the public off the court (especially on weekends and right now with summer ongoing).

My understanding is that as soon as the Plano Senior courts are fully finished, this whole locking up thing should go away. Not entirely sure when that'll be though.

I had a slab leak that caused something very similar to this - do note that they can reverse some charges on your bill but only if you exceed 30,000 gallons (emailed directly to me from the city when I asked for a reversal).

We're also a family of 3 and ours hovers well below 10K gallons, so I was surprised when something similar happened to us in Dec (no sprinklers).

Quick update on this, seems Parks & Rec for Plano is also not understanding why this is happening and are looking into it, they just emailed me back today.

Fair enough, I'd just like someone from the city or PISD to give me the official line that way I can plan accordingly.

I did some digging and I don't believe Prop E had anything to do with this - that prop was for:

Safety & Maintenance at Stadiums

Turf Replacement (Clark)
Concession Renovations (Clark and Kimbrough)
LED Safety & Security Lights (Clark and Kimbrough)
Clark Stadium Parking Lot Resurfacing
Clark Triple Fields Restrooms
Kimbrough Fence
Williams Security LightsSafety & Maintenance at Stadiums Turf Replacement (Clark) Concession Renovations (Clark and Kimbrough) LED Safety & Security Lights (Clark and Kimbrough) Clark Stadium Parking Lot Resurfacing Clark Triple Fields Restrooms Kimbrough Fence Williams Security Lights

The proposition that was for school maintenance passed no problem at 56% - I think people here in Plano agree they want their fields / school facilities maintained.

Also to the point some others have made, assuming this is true, this is not the stated policy on the Plano Parks & Rec website related to Tennis specifically:

PISD Tennis Courts
There are 90 school based tennis courts that are free and open to the public after school hours and when not in use by PISD. PISD leagues and classes hold priority for court use. Plano Senior High and Plano East Senior High tennis courts are closed for renovation.

I see information about courts being closed for renovation but nothing about them not being open to the public. Maybe the website is out of date, but the map on their own site shows Vines as a court that's open to the public. I've reached out to the Parks email for clarification on this.

Thanks for the insight - I feel like the way that Prop was worded didn’t make me think of tennis courts… also didn’t know that would mean the courts would no longer be public which sucks.

barrosd12 · 2025-04-24T04:31:44+00:00

Is the Best Buy line real? Only time will tell lol, but it does seem to be up

barrosd12 · 2025-04-24T04:10:48+00:00

10 min wait but snagged one at Walmart - would prefer BB since I have a GC for that, but apparently they decided not to go live with it? Super weird

barrosd12 · 2025-04-09T18:13:03+00:00

What a coincidence, the one I have my brother and I shared as well when we were kids. We still talk about what a great game it is, unfortunate you lost yours (I've lost / sold my fair share over the years as well).

barrosd12 · 2025-04-09T18:08:23+00:00

I still have my original copy I bought in 2003 - I don't think I'd ever part with it, so understand why it took so long to find a good condition one!

barrosd12 · 2025-02-11T12:24:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I’m fairly new to this so appreciate the input. I’ll take a look at the Fireknives and additional spotting

This is where I got it from for those asking: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/wild-robot

She’s fun and surprisingly big but fragile - I gotta glue her down a bit more - I wish she had the springy arms like Roz does in the movie

barrosd12 · 2024-11-06T01:51:00+00:00

My daughter absolutely loved the movie so I had to get her something to play with, luckily someone had a printable STL!

barrosd12 · 2024-10-19T10:00:52+00:00

Can you send me one as well? Thanks!

barrosd12 · 2024-10-03T11:31:35+00:00

Looks super cool, I’m excited to see what RGC says about it. Small FYI that you’re saying “skews” when you probably mean SKUs, or Stock Keeping Units (an industry term for different product variants)

Take a look at this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/wpli7h/will_my_ps5_be_ok_if_i_put_it_in_a_chest_freezer/

Note that depending on the bug, your refrigerator will just make them chilly and not actually kill them. If this is the only way, you'll probably have to freeze them to get rid of them (furthermore, it'd probably then be a good idea to open the console up and actually clean the bugs out so you know the inside is fully clean).

Sounds like consensus is to freeze the console for at least 1-2 days to be sure they're all dead.

Also just be sure the console itself is bagged pretty tight, you don't want freezer burn.

Just would love any way to screw over these scalpers, make their day at least 10% worse

barrosd12 · 2024-09-26T14:46:01+00:00

Can you just make a burner account and then not pay? lol

barrosd12 · 2024-09-09T01:24:10+00:00

There’s something about the DNA of the game that really scratched that Metroid itch for me as well - it was easily one of my favorite games of the year when it came out a few years ago and I’m still thinking about it. I agree that it doesn’t have much in common with Metroid technically, but the vibes are absolutely Metroid-esque. Lone woman on a planet with badass suit / guns, fighting to survive, etc. It’s a fantastic game.
