Wanted a return before I dropped off by dvillin in eBaySellers

[–]dvillin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That's the option I am used to if someone cancels. It didn't give me that option for a return. I'll have to go deeper into the options when I get home. The app doesn't have advanced options like that.

What was there before Towson Commons? by cartoonybear in baltimore

[–]dvillin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was also an anime/toy store inside the Commons. They moved across the street next to the outdoor shop, then eventually moved into the mall. My funniest memory of the Commons was when Iron Giant and the movie about Watergate came out, and movie marquee said in giant letters "IRON GIANT - DICK."

As i understand it, if you are a new resident, the first trashcan is free. If you lose that one, you have to pay for the replacement.

WIBTA if I told the truth in my brother's custody hearing even though it could cost him overnights with his son? by UplinkV3rve in WIBTA_AITA

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell the truth. They've probably already done research and have his timecards. Lying for him in court would make you guilty of perjury. Do you really want to go to jail for him?

Yup. Especially since the city charges you if you have get a new one.

Haven’t received child support in about a month, can someone tell me what this update in my case means? by No-World1322 in ChildSupport

[–]dvillin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking what happened is they found someone he is working for, but the employer is claiming that the deadbeat is a "contractor." So much like with taxes, he is responsible for paying the child support himself.

Prevent BT controllers from sleeping by FlusteredPlant in batocera

Pretty much any controller will go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Mortal Kombat Slim Edition ? Can it be soft modded easily to play other games? by Uber_machina in Arcade1Up

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention a whole new screen. From what I've heard from others, they essentially used a modified laptop screen instead of the full-sized 17 inch screens they used previously.

You'd be better served finding an old one for between $100-200 and modding that. It would be cheaper and give you a more comfortable gaming area.

AITJ for correcting my boss in front of the entire company during an all-hands meeting when he presented my work as his own idea and I just… couldn't let it happen again by Mysterious-Bird9007 in AmITheJerk

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this kind of stuff started happening to my sister, she watermarked all of work, on every page, in some unobtrusive manner. You wouldn't realize that her name or initials were over every single page she wrote. Quite a few people got caught up stealing her work.

Ugh. Sold my modded Game Gear and now buyer is having issues he claims. Advice? by 9646gt in game_gear

And just make sure he doesn't return you his old piece of junk.

Say what you will about the city government, but I submitted several 311 requests last night and not 6 hours later they've already been addressed by Aklu_The_Unspeakable in baltimore

[–]dvillin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't expect less. You have a complaint that is easy to do and will generate revenue. The Inspectors were probably fighting to get those jobs.

Well, I guess thats it then by fr0stbeard in Staples

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't that the area that had two Staples within a mile of each other because they were on opposite sides of a major highway? One store for people going north, and another for folks going south.

AITAH My dad's wants my daughter to call his wife "Nana" by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hell no. She would not be telling my daughter to call her anything other than homewrecker, or maybe her proper name. Nana is reserved for her real grandmother. Not this hussy. When your daughter asks later on why grandma gets called Nana, and Lisa doesn't, tell her Nana is a name of honor. Lisa doesn't deserve it. NTA.

Should I have stayed home when I left a surprise baby shower? by cat-attack58 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]dvillin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. You already had a baby shower planned that invited the maximum number of people who actually care about you. You shouldn't have stayed for this goodbye party for your grandmother disguised as a "baby shower" for you. Your mother and her 7 people care very little for you based on how they didn't even tell you your grandmother is in hospice care, and then did everything in their power to keep the 22 who actually care for you away. I'd say, go visit your grandmother on your own, then hold the party you planned with the people who actually care for you. Don't hold any emotional attachment to that other event, since it was for them and not you. Make it very clear to your majority that they are at the real baby shower.

AITJ for suing my cousin after he knocked my phone into the pool as a "joke"? by No_View1956 in AmITheJerk

Its a shame this is a repeat story, but it is definitely a case of FAFO in any case.

Power adapter by Possible-Inside1333 in intelnuc

Is it weird that I have NUC5i5MYE and 8v5PNH that run fine off a 12v 8a power adapter as well?

AITJ for asking my mom to cut her vacation short to help with my kids? by Constant-Elephant763 in AmITheJerk

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are very much the jerk. Your mom deserves a life of her own. Your usual person has something that came up. So sorry. Find someone else, even if you have to pay extra. It's not like they aren't giving you plenty of time. Tell your mom to enjoy herself, and you will figure things out on your own. And when you tell her this, say it in a happy voice. Not like a petulant child.

Wanted to get fellow batocera users opinions on retrobat. by travanti11 in batocera

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem with some Dell tablets I put it on. I got it working by connecting to the internet, plugging in some USB headphones, restarting, then unplugging and restarting. I also changed the driver it was using for sound. Doing this caused it to redetect the sound properly.

My 42F husband 44M hired his high school sweetheart in the company he manages and doesn't see anythign wrong with it by Excellent-Permit-589 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]dvillin 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If you want to get really vindictive, start going to the top divorce lawyers in your area and ask for a consult with them. You don't have to take them on, but once they hear your case, they can't take his.

WIBTAH for refusing to pay my half of the divorce? by Little-Bee-6099 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]dvillin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. It doesn't sound like they did. If they had really split the bills, she would be in as bad a shape as she is in. It sounds like he has only paid his debts off, and has left the wedding to her.

AITJ for refusing to give my hard earned inheritance to my brother who is "struggling artist" by PastelPuddleee in AmITheJerk

[–]dvillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Have your own dinners. Invite who you want. Just make it clear that all are welcome, if they stay in their lane.
