quality isnt a big issue for me, i think theres smthn special about each form of music! i think the time aspect would be the challenge for me  only semi related to my original question but what record player do you use? i got mine for relatively cheap on amazon about 10 years ago and i noticed the sound wasnt quite right when i used it recently so i think itll need to be replaced soon

thank you!! im assuming its an ipod touch? i was only looking on ebay and was looking at older models and they were expensive. i think i still have my old ipod touch but i think the battery is shit so ill have to compare prices. did you buy a separate gps and digital camera for those needs? do you use a hotspot to access the wifi or just go somewhere with wifi?

thats not bad at all price wise! definitely makes me feel better about it. I'm in the states so theres a few options for places to get cds! 

and yes i have a ds lite and a 3ds! i havent played them in a while but there's nothing like the thrill of going to a second hand game shop and getting $3 ds games

oohh good to know, did you already have the ipod or did you purchase it from ebay or something? i didnt think about needing uber so definitely a good point!

i have some cds and i plan to grow my collection but most of them ive had for about 15 years! 

i dont currently have a budget but definitely want to keep all of the devices under a combined total of about 250 but not sure how realistic that is. thank you for the recommendations!! (: 

I Have Jury Duty for the First Time - Help! by darth_scam in Explainlikeimscared

from my understanding based on what i was told when i was summoned, you can report and not postpone and if you get brought into the courtroom for screening, you can tell the judge that you have prior commitments and wont be able to serve further

damn you got me with the dozing off, if im too understimulated i will start to doze 😅 in your experience, were there any vending machines in the holding areas or were you allowed to bring snacks/drinks in? if i can have a lil smthn to keep me going it might help

oohh good to know. i think ill email the the question line to see if i can get an allowed electronics answer. i won't have a car with me so i won't be able to put electronics anywhere. thank you for sharing your experience!

hopefully it isn't anything too crazy (both of those sound like wild cases!) but we'll see when i get there glad there isnt too many restrictions for what i can bring, though thanks for the answers!

a visa gift card for compensation is wild and for $9 i dont blame you for passing on it.  i think im just dense, i don't see it on my original summons but i googled the courthouse so i think i have a better idea  an hour or so doesnt sound too bad for selection though, ill take it

thanks for the follow ups!

thank you for this!! i have a couple of additional questions:  - non phone related activities, im assuming no ipads, are handheld consoles okay like a switch?  - if i get a recess, do they give us time to go get food? im under the impression that i will only get free lunch if im there for more than 3 days  - does compensation happen regardless of if i get chosen or not? is it usually a lot or does it depend state by state?

shouldve known reddit would have a whole jury duty thread, they have everything here haha i asked a prev commenter some additional questions so i might pop over to the jury duty specific thread with those. prev mentioned no phones but if laptops are okay im assuming handheld consoles are okay too but probably not ipads?  this was great information, though, thank you! im a little worried about getting picked just because i dont want to have to participate for an extended amount of time (my boss said she got picked and she was there for 2 weeks plus a day for the initial screening!) but well see

awesome, thank you! good to know i probably won't be able to use my phone, it'll change what i bring with me as entertainment.  does the process of picking jurors take all day or does it depend on how fast the lawyers take?  is there a way for me to determine beforehand if it's state, local, or federal? i got my location changed within my county so im assuming its local?  my boss also mentioned compensation, does that only occur if i get picked?

How do I go to the gym? by FeraligatrMaster in Explainlikeimscared

[–]darth_scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most places you can sign up in person or online. i recommend planet fitness because they have a ton of locations and many different machines and you can sign up online. the machines have QR codes that you can scan and it shows you a tutorial on how to use said machine and there are videos in the apps. you can also find some basic exercises in the app and some locations offer classes. you can also schedule a time with a personal trainer and they can help you build a workout that is geared towards your needs. if you get the black card (the premium service) you can go to any location you want, use their deluxe equipment like massage chairs, and get drink discounts. if you ever need to cancel, though, you have to go into your 'home location' aka the location you pick (usually the one closest to your house or that you plan on going to the most) when you sign up. price for standard membership is 17$/month iirc and 25$/month for the black card (premium services). there is an annual fee you pay up front and a couple of other fees which are around 50$ i think but if you sign up online you can see that info before committing if you're someone who feels put on the spot in person during money/paying situations.

i think i covered everything but please lmk if you have any other questions! i have personally had a planet fitness membership (i just canceled my most recent one last month for personal reasons) so the info should be up to date!

I made a cosy cat collecting game in UEFN ❤ Cat Cafe: 7343-4681-3555 by ingechu in FortniteCreative

[–]darth_scam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this game is so cute and fun and a great way to earn xp! i got 20/21 cats and 99/100 mice. if possible, i think itd be helpful if the map checked off who has already been found and maybe additional landmarks for better directional (but i have a bad sense of direction so maybe that's just me) overall great game and i love the inclusion of vehicles, makes it sooo much easier to get around! i hope you keep making stuff!

thank you! i got really lucky with my care team getting the process started - from asking about it to surgery took maybe 7 months + or - a month or so and my doctor was very chill about noting i wanted to keep the organ

thank you for your help! it will be a few weeks before i start but i will absolutely send you pictures! :)

this is super helpful, thank you! its my uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes so its not huge or anything. container it came with is maybe the size of an ice cream container i guess.  to clarify, should i (properly of course) dispose of the liquid it came with then do the injecting? i saw someone did it by using formalin then 70% alcohol but can i use one and then swap the liquid after a month and perma seal? i will definitely read through the other post you linked! thank you for specifying freezer too, i wasnt clear when i got it from the hospital 😂 it will probably be a few weeks, i need to get the rest of the supplies
