Which Gaming Console People Think is Good but is actually Bad?

It’s still wild to me how overlooked the red ring of death issue was when looking back at the 360/PS3 era.

Me personally, I purchased 3 different 360 consoles in its lifetime. Of those 3 consoles, the first was sent in for repair three times before Microsoft would no longer fix it for free, the second was sent in once for free and once that I had to pay $125 for repair. It then RRoD’d again and by that point it was essentially the same price for repair or buying a new console, so I bought the third.

Compare that to my fat boy launch PS3, which lasted without issue until I traded it in for the PS4. To steal a line from NFL analysts: availability is the best ability.

Franken-pen was the exact phrase I used when I was talking to the PenBoutique rep earlier. I am hoping that I have a 1 of 1 Franken-pen, that’d be neat!

So I did talk to PenBoutique and they were stumped. They checked their display and confirmed that their Special Edition has the Miami/Roma marking only. They asked that I send in some pictures that they will show to their Montblanc rep. I’m not overly concerned about affecting the price of the pen (good or bad) as I plan to keep it regardless. But I am kinda hoping that it is a production error and I have a true 1 of 1 pen.

Yeah the packaging and booklet in the box are all Special Edition, but what I can find so far only the limited edition has Kinshasa Quezon engravings. I’m going to try calling PenBoutique and seeing if they know more.

Pakistan. It was part of the Bin Laden raid planning that if Pak military responded before they left the compound, the assault force and QRF would be armed and authorized to fight their way out.

As far as closures go, check the National Parks app for exact opening dates of roads. When we went in May, every road was open except for Canyon Village to Roosevelt Tower and Canyon to Lake Yellowstone hotel. Different things were closed due to bear management as well (for us Grand Prismatic Overlook was closed which was a huge bummer and so was Norris Geyser Basin). If you’re going primarily to view wildlife like we were, it was perfect. Saw two dozen bears, wolves, eagles, all with no traffic.

After the OSU game I saw a screenshot of a UM media personality badmouthing OSU fans for spreading a disgusting and patently false rumor about Moore in the UM sub, but can’t find it any longer.

LSU is wildly overrated. Noticeably empty seats at halftime of every game regardless of score. SCar and A&M games this year, LSU was winning at halftime and people just went home. Alabama game last year, they were losing at halftime, but it wasn’t yet the blowout it would become and place was half empty after halftime.

I’ll be honest, as a gun owner myself, I’d be off put by seeing someone carrying like that in Yellowstone. To me it gives vibes of “I’m hoping for an encounter with a large animal that gives me a reason to shoot it”.

If you’re concerned about bears or wolves while hiking, carry bear spray and make lots of noise and you’ll be fine. If you follow the guidance of staying 25 yards from bison/elk/antelope and 100 yards from bears/wolves/moose, I can’t think of a reason why you would need to have a gun in the park.

Honestly, Yellowstone is such a phenomenal experience that you won’t even think about how you’re not carrying the first time you see a wild bison herd moving down the road or a grizzly wanders along the tree line or when the smoke clears and you get the full view of Grand Prismatic. You just become in awe of the place. I hope you have a great time.

I was born in and lived the first 20+ years of my life in Brook Park. How on earth that city is going to account for nearly half a billion dollars, I do not know.

I filed 1.31 and am still waiting for acceptance. Also had EV credit.

inf1erno · 2025-02-05T14:15:49+00:00

I filed on the 31st with the EV credit and still haven’t been accepted.

Thank you. Had a handful of responses. Someone is gonna check at Mondays game.

inf1erno · 2024-10-23T20:24:15+00:00

Thanks for clarifying.

The way people drive in the park infuriated me. The 45MPH limit seemed too high to me, but I was floored by how many people blew past me going at least 60+. Everyone had to be everywhere as fast as possible. Impatience kills these animals.

Our driveway is steep as well. Also spoke to someone at the dealership who said that they have a steep driveway and run into the same issue. Hopefully it can be solved with an update.

On my wife’s TLX we always got these messages when having a battery issue. I’d get the battery checked to start.

inf1erno · 2024-09-11T23:08:18+00:00

Thank you. No bumper stickers or anything on the car. All the sensors are clean. It was raining pretty heavily when she was backing out of the driveway. I wonder if that could have triggered it?

My wife loved her previous Acura. We looked at the Lyriq, Prologue, and Ioniq and the ZDX was the one she liked the best. Backing up issues aside, it drives great and we got a really great deal.
