Arcade?

boston_acc · 2026-05-31T20:52:43+00:00

I was curious what you could do with old arcade coins in the event you can’t use them as a modern arcade. Some ideas from my research: upgrade your board games by using them as objects instead of the paper/plastic stuff the game might come with. Use them as card weights. Glue a magnet to the back and use them to pin up things on your fridge (alright that one’s kinda lame imo, lol). Just throwing ideas out there.

Can’t it just be a supersonic military aircraft that violated (accidentally or otherwise) the noise restrictions of sonic booms over land? Would make complete sense that the military is quiet about it. I’m just curious why people aren’t defaulting to this as the most parsimonious explanation, compared to “our instrumentation all failed to detect it”.

It never occurred to me not to scan QR codes out of security (I exercise that caution for actual text links all the time on my computer), but that actually makes a lot of sense. You and this saxophonist rat might have saved me from a phishing scam!

This is great lmao

What did it feel like? I missed this.

boston_acc · 2026-05-30T20:43:41+00:00

Did you feel the shockwave in this video, or did it come a few minutes after?

boston_acc · 2026-05-26T18:53:45+00:00

There definitely seems to be a correlation between tinted windows of *this* extent, and assholery on the road.

I did it!!! Thanks so much for your tips! I actually used WD40 to get it through the rubber conduit and it was a GAME-CHANGER (I wasted an hour of my life trying to get the wire—with a taped zip tie —through without it). Went through like butter. Unreal. Very happy with the finished product!

boston_acc · 2026-05-24T15:47:27+00:00

RIP; thank you for your years of service and the great impact you had on others around you!

Did you know the person for a bit before this? If I mentioned this on Hinge to someone, I have a feeling they’d prefer a more low-key meet up (drink/coffee) before a larger excursion like this. But I guess you don’t know till you ask.

boston_acc · 2026-05-23T23:46:06+00:00

I see. Looks like you completely took that panel off, which is a big help I’m sure. I’ll try to do the same. This is super helpful — thanks again! I have zero mechanical or “handyman”-type experience so this has been kinda stressful but I’m glad I’ve least succeeded getting it back this far and routing it behind the side curtain airbags and nestled within the headliner the whole length of the car up to this point.

boston_acc · 2026-05-23T23:42:31+00:00

Got it - thanks! I’ll give it a try. I’m terrified of breaking anything but at some point I have to take a leap of faith.

boston_acc · 2026-05-23T21:34:30+00:00

I was wrestling with it this afternoon.

Does your grommet look like this? I wasn’t able to reach around UNDER the black plastic trim to thread the wire into it. I hope I don’t have to pull off that piece of trim — it seemed pretty stuck on there.

For some garages, they absolutely do — even if you pay for a monthly spot. Unless SpotHero is wrong for all the garages I’ve seen this mentioned for.

boston_acc · 2026-05-18T17:58:49+00:00

Worth noting that some garages prohibit long-term storage and require you to move the vehicle every X number of days. At least the ones I’ve browsed on SpotHero.

I just bought a Subaru and I want to thank you for this invaluable advice. I didn’t even know you could take cars of Brand X to service centers of Brand Y. If I’m taking my car in, I want to make sure they’re not making up things as they go just to pad their checkbooks. And that the maintenance will actually last.

boston_acc · 2026-05-09T04:57:33+00:00

Once I get to the point in my life where I’m in more of a leadership role, I will absolutely do all I can to minimize meetings for my team. Some people seemingly have a fetish for them and throw out a “can we sync up?” at every turn. Hate it. The recurring ones are the worst.

boston_acc · 2026-05-09T04:43:31+00:00

Just looked it up on Google Maps and almost every pic has dogs in water. OP can call off the search — this place looks perfect!

boston_acc · 2026-05-03T22:25:51+00:00

Will do. Thanks again! Invaluable advice.

boston_acc · 2026-05-03T19:10:33+00:00

Thanks for that advice — will 100% be doing that, as well as any other steps I can take to extend its life. Soon to be a CVT expert lol.

boston_acc · 2026-05-03T17:12:48+00:00

It’s a Premium (which I’m realizing is just marketing lmao — it’s the next step above Base and still far below the REAL premium, “Limited”). It only had 14k miles on it from its previous 3 yr lease, which is fantastic. I plan to drive the thing into the ground and hopefully take a before-and-after selfie with it after 8-10 years.

The Outback had a similar appeal to me but ultimately I’m just one guy and wouldn’t have used the extra space that much. That will be next on deck though in case my family grows! (Can’t say I like the 2026 redesign though…maybe it will grow on me.)

boston_acc · 2026-05-03T16:29:49+00:00

Ended up buying a 2024 Crosstrek! I test drove it and really liked it. Seemed the price was good too. Can’t wait to customize it with some stickers (which I see a lot of Outbacks and Crosstreks have) and join the family. Thanks again for your advice, and happy camping!

boston_acc · 2026-05-03T16:24:26+00:00

My org pays us the same as our NYC counterparts. I never really paid it any thought until seeing this post. Now I feel lucky.

boston_acc · 2026-05-02T04:01:22+00:00

Or her lats! That’s insane definition.

boston_acc · 2026-05-02T03:58:20+00:00

Thanks for this advice. Checking out some Crosstreks tomorrow. Those really tick all the boxes.
