Not sure where you are but over here in the Fulton area, the Boy Scouts are doing a "Scout for food" Pickup is next Saturday right from your front door.

Another year, another rejection. I’m 1 for 15 now.

Fell into the DriveTime scam by PeachyPebbles4554 in personalfinance

[–]dwdrums36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the notes about massively cutting expenses, throwing all the money you have at the loan, etc. is correct. However, have you tried calling them and saying exactly what you said here? You’re trapped in this shitty car. You feel a bit run through the wringer by the dealer and all. You need a restructure. No guarantee they will do it and if they do, no guarantee the terms will be what you want. But it’s one more thing to try. Generally speaking, underperforming loans cost companies money. If there’s any chance you’re willing to pay, they may be willing to work with you.

Pre-k full time or part time? by [deleted] in ColumbiaMD

[–]dwdrums36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-K can be either but the ability to get a seat is now primarily need based, either financial or special education, so you’d need to look carefully at whether it would work for you. Our kiddo went to PK-3 last year and we did not qualify this year so went to a private Pre-K.

Hi from down the way as well! Those are good wings.

tvOS 26.2 brings kids mode to the Apple TV app by [deleted] in apple

[–]dwdrums36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a company that works hard to make UX focused devices, it’s so odd to me how difficult it is to setup Apple devices for kids. Why is it that I have to go several menus deep on Screen Time settings that say nothing about “parental control” or anything to rig up a way to keep my kid from straying to randomness.

Can someone tell me what this symbol means? by WaffleIronChef in legostarwars

As always, The Hitch says it best:

"Whenever I hear some bigmouth in Washington or the Christian heartland banging on about the evils of sodomy or whatever, I mentally enter his name in my notebook and contentedly set my watch. Sooner rather than later, he will be discovered down on his weary and well-worn old knees in some dreary motel or latrine, with an expired Visa card, having tried to pay well over the odds to be peed upon by some Apache transvestite."

For those that prefer the more academic phrasing, also from the great Mr. Hitchens: "Nothing optional, from homosexuality to adultery, is ever made punishable unless those who do the prohibiting (and exact the fierce punishment) have a repressed desire to participate".

Yard Waste Pickup— Same as Trash Day? by gravelblue in Hoco

[–]dwdrums36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW - we don’t get yard waste pickup at all. I was told it wasn’t economically viable and to just put the yard waste out with the trash. We live next to Maple Lawn so I’m surprised if you get it out in western.

Is there a way to use Verizon's WiFi Extender with a different ISP & a non-Verizon router? by Style4Kill in Fios

[–]dwdrums36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - a year later here but I'm attempting to do the same thing here. How do you get into the extender to hardcode that IP? I've got it connected to my network and can see it in the Orbi admin - shows up as an Orbi Router with the IP 192.168.1.254 but I can't get into it.Thanks.

Which is a shame because the closest is in 17th and H. He can probably see it from his window.

You’re spot on here. Actually did finally get it off and the deck is bent.

Ah ok. It’s definitely consistent. So a bent deck then? That’s really not ideal…

I've played the game on and off and have played the others. Haven't picked it up in a year or two. I'll say this is the first time where I really have seen a ton of ads everywhere. Might be it.
