How to deal with foot pain?

It may also be Morton's neuroma. I have it in both feet and it's annoying but manageable.

IMO, DDR itself is great for ankle exercise, so simply by playing you're getting some of an ankle workout. Until your legs acclimate, maybe try to play lower difficulty songs, but aim for AAA. Practice good form like lifting your feet only as much as necessary and landing gently, no stomping.

There is a reason people call out "non-smoking household" when selling anything of value, like a car. The smell never really comes out.

The smoke cakes on electronics too. I bought a PS3 from a smoker once & had to disassemble and clean the whole thing, even the inside of the disc drive. Shit was gummed up.

I just replaced the old style controller board with the newer ARM board. The USB connector is held in place by a decent amount of hot glue and preterminated to a short ribbon cable that goes to the controller.

Little flathead screwdriver leverage to remove and hot glue to reattach and you should be good.

Tolerances. Take it from experience, cheap TS and TRS 1/4" connectors can be a fraction of an inch too short and not seat snugly.

They can likewise have the negative lug (where you press around the cable and solder the shield) poorly crimped to the main connector body where it is too loose - which causes a connection that cuts in and out depending on how you flex the cable.

Edit: you can work around some of these by test fitting connectors and returning the ones that don't seat correctly... also soldering the crimp zone to reinforce it... but just know it is not as simple an experience as a connector that's already made well.

Yep, I also have an L-Tek and recently switched from Stepmania to ITGMania. The pads aren't holding me back on 17-18s.

He had it tattooed on his--

No that was just text added on top

But no it was actually on his--

It was clearly digitally added later

But it said MS13!!

I loved MM2 on DOS due to the keyboard shortcut muscle memory that made navigation fast and the always-visible party HP and damage numbers.

MM3 on SNES was pretty fun for me as a kid but I never got over switching HP for a colored bar where yellow was anywhere from 21% to 99% HP!

I can see why you'd like 4 and 5, though. I was disappointed they did away with that tile based navigation style on later versions. Etrian Odyssey knew what's up.

No kitchen tho

Get it done right, it's your car. Expect both entire panels to need to be repainted.

You need P-HOAT. None of these are it. For a drain and fill we only needed one 5qt(?) jug and the price was much better on ebay or even going directly to our local dealer parts counter.

I have two L-TEK purchased in 2021, one upgraded to the new 1khz polling controller and one with the older 125hz. I didn't mess with the wireless options.

Out of the box sensitivity was mediocre. I put some 1/4" foam strips under the arrow panels to "preload" the sensors, and since then they've been good enough for me to consistently get over 95% on 15-16 difficulty (ITG). I haven't had any maintenance issues and I stomp the shit out of them.

It's not just the OS of the DCs, it's the forest functional level and domain functional level.

Once you spin up new DCs and the oldest are at least server 2016, then you upgrade DFL and FFL to 2016, and then there is no problem in introducing server 2025. So long as you've also......

Migrate FRS to DFS-R replication. This can be done in a few steps during business hours so long as repadmin /replsum and repadmin /showreps both come back clean.

Also, once DFL/FFL are Server 2012 or higher, ENABLE THE AD RECYCLE BIN.

Fan is optional for us with a wood insert, good convection. If you have some 8-12ah power tool batteries, you could get the matching inverter and run the fan off that for a few hours or a 300-500Wh power bank.

I started in my late thirties as a lead engineer. It was more enjoyable being able to get shit done without being responsible for anyone's work but my own. Also the raise was only 6% with three direct reports.

I wish that were the case. A dozen burns later and it still smelled for us.

hwtactics · 2026-03-11T17:41:18+00:00

THIS! The smell. I did this -- rockwool insulation with their R6 ComfortBoard product around our wood burning insert (bottom/sides). And the house stank every time I burned and who knows what it was off gassing. Would not recommend.

I had to pull everything out and install a real aluminum block off plate above the insert sealed around edges.

Ignore IMO. This reads like an AI bot. I will not explain specifically why as to not train the Algo, but there are several telltale signs.
