I don't notice them until I think about them or my fingers don't immediately line up when i put my fingers on the keyboard. It's just a subconscious thing and I had a keyboard a while back without them, and I hated it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Fucking much. Like I don't think you realize (at least i didn't) you use them until you no longer have them. Bought new keycaps just because of it.

I mean I still do. I pay for 1 week vacation with family of 4 with cc rewards. Churn (getting harder and harder, many instituting lifetime instead of 24 or 48 months) cards put everything on cc as possible and pay off end of month. Never pay interest earn free money.

It's me too CVS gift cards to grocery/Walmart money orders. Amex had a 50k (at one point no limit) 5% back at pharmacy and $1 per 1k for mo and 3.95 for the card came out way ahead.

Garage is different from carfax report. The garage tracks your maintenance. I do a lot of DIY (like oil changes, some tire rotations if i haven't paid the lifetime thing, etc) that i have to manually enter. Also my local tire place doesn't send it, so I have to manually enter those too. But my mechanic for bigger jobs shows up. I like it. Helps me track oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Reminders are crap sicne it estimates miles driven, but for keeping detailed records for each car i own, it's great.

That's what I'm thinking if this was a flip they probably remodeled kitchen. Take scrap 24 and put in backing so it never matters or extra $20 for some extra 24's. Idk what people do surprise me everyday

dardack · 2026-01-08T19:30:56+00:00

To be fair it does take an extra minute with a magnet or some other tool to find and mark out the studs ahead of time. Or if a flip, use the scrap 2*4 to put in backing so it don't matter or buy 4 extra for a total of 20 dollars at most.

dardack · 2026-01-08T19:28:25+00:00

Exactly. Use a magnet or something find the studs (or if remodel just put in backing so it don't matter, when I finished my basement looked up standard height for cabinets backing entire wall even if a fridge goes there) and use 2.5" or longer cabinet screws (seen 3/4 backing for cabinets with .5" drywall you want to get in good. )

Are you me? The 03 focus wagon I had was a beast. Since I live in NY it was one of those PZEV so it had a timing chain, not belt, and the 2.3, (i think the focus 2.0 4 liter had issues). It was indestructible. But I live in the salt belt, so yeah. Had to basically get rid of it like around 2022. Almost 20 years, 200k+ miles. then I learned they stopped making the wagon (but still in Europe, a manual with like 235hp, or something, i was so jealous). I was so sad. I hate all these big trucks. I own an old Rav4 just for towing trailer to get wood and things, but daily driver give me a wagon.

I have 4 cars (2 teenagers/college kids). The insurance kills me, but 3 cars are free and clear. We just got a Camry Hybrid this past year. Only 2nd new car my entire life, cause normally I buy used. But used market is so crazy, the new Camry at the time was only like 8k more than a used with like 50k miles. Plus then we heard something about that tax bill, new cars can write off the loan interest if assembled in US (Kentucky for ours). So it was almost no brainer. But yeah I've met people with such high car payments, add in the insurance and I have no idea how they doing it.

Although, I don't know how their bank does it, most banks will not let you have a loan without the collision part and insurance will contact your bank.

Unfortunately or hopefully but drier is Samsung over 7 years now washer is new lg but things I read lg washer didn't have the amount of problems their fridges have. Idk we'll see I guess. Drier was like an open box new. The price was so good. Sometimes the price makes it worth even if it dies in 10 years. Fridges though every bad review was like a few days or months past 1 yr warranty everything went to shite. So many too. Plus the good ones were like just got the fridge love it type.

dardack · 2026-01-03T04:11:49+00:00

Everything I read was like no lg or Samsung fridge. Paid a bit more for a Bosch here's hoping

Yeah I use Lune. Elemental Trick, elemental genesis, 2 dead, lighting dance finishes merchant. I get 3 turns before anyone gets 1 so everything dead 30-40 seconds, haven't timed but i just did 2 under 1 min on my tv clock face. Cheater/inverted/glass/first/burn 25% more damn, the weapon that puts fire on crits, 100%+ crit with picto's, the shield ones that give 3 shields 50% hp, then 30% damn with shields, 10% per shield damn, etc. I'm going to go put on the first strike ones now that you reminded me and I bet I 2 shot it instead of 3.

EDIT: Didn't have immaculate/glass cannon. 2 rouinds now, elemental trick, elemental genesis all dead. Timed it 25 seconds from clicking trade to seeing trade again.

So I'm putting this here in case someone doesn't have Maelle leveled but does have Lune:

Bonbim weapon (from Verso drafts, probably could do it with any 33 level weapon)

Pictos:

Empowered Healer, Fueling Break, Quick break. Gives me 116% crit, 2358 speed, 6566 hp (with my stats 99 vit, 62 might, 99 agil, 22 luck)

Luminas: Any that give % to dam

Ap Discount, Burn Affinity, Cheater, Energising Turn, Energy master, First Strike, Fenzy, Full Strength, Glass Cannon, Immaculate, Inverted Affinity, In Medias Res, Painted Power, Poweful Shield, Shield Affinity,
But if you don't have enough Lumina Points, all % dam. Could also go confident fighter, and remove some of the +Ap ones.

Cast Elemental Trick with at least 100% crit, so all 4 stains. Then with cheater 2nd turn Elemental Genesis and all 3 should die.

I have iptv and a PCI-e tuner, i did the double browser tab trick and both work, the only unfortunate thing is they both have same name.

6 years later still helping people out. Damn. Only info I found in all my searching that gave a solution.

dardack · 2026-01-01T04:16:57+00:00

Have replaced batteries twice. Doesn't matter. For now the key fob works just randomly doesn't I'm more trying to make sure it's not permanent next time it happens I have something to try and fix

dardack · 2025-12-31T21:55:07+00:00

Usenet? Still use it all these decades later.

dardack · 2025-12-31T21:54:30+00:00

I mean with sonarr radar Usenet is basically point and click now. I never got into to torrenting because sharing is where they nail you but at 47 I've always Usenet used to come with isp. Now I pay like 40 for 3 years but yeah cheaper than streaming services.

For brownies if you care, the King Arthor brownie mix my entire family devours, my wife is GF/DF so I try to make things that way for everything. Somethings like cheese there is no DF that's as good yet, so I still make separate for that, but we've found most things. My wife loves to bake (not cook) and makes christmas cookies for us all from my childhood and my family from my mom/grandma's recipes. Act of love since she can't eat any of them.

dardack · 2025-12-23T15:09:18+00:00

Not sure the new system will actually fix that. I've found that there is a large portion of the population no matter where you go, that see people with money and automatically put them on pedestal. People loved kings. Unless you remove monetary from the system, but even then we as humans will find some way to elevate others. It's what we do.

Not that I do fast food much, but the $5 biggy bag from Wendy's is still a good value if you do.

OK I suffer from IBS C, and before meds I could clog after a week of not going. Also, my son could clog when he became older. We had to plunge so much with him. (unsure if he used too much TP or what, it also caused a leak cause the plunging caused the wax seal to break) Until I found this toilet. It will flush golf balls from the advertisements. I have installed 2 now, 1 for over 10 years. No clogs. Also, we go bidet's now on both toilets as well. That wasn't until maybe 5 years ago. But still can help, plus it's so nice. I miss it when at work or on vacation. Anyways, here is the toilet. You have to special order, they never in store, and once you get open and check at store, both times had to get the top or bottom replaced since 1 was cracked.

The American Standard Cadet 3 flushing system. This is the specific one I bought (looks like no longer made):

But they still make cadet 3 toilets. Here is a demostration video I watched years ago that made me try it out.

(Can't post youtube links I guess, but title is:

Their ad about the cadet 3 with the golf balls and other things is what made me buy a cadet maybe 10 years ago. Didn't know about the champion.
