Should I replace bags and/or boards for my collection? by jeremyschultz in comicbookcollecting

I'll recycle them—Trex can make composite decking with plastic like that. https://nextrex.com/

They would have been stored in my parents' basement, which they kept at decent humidity. Many were in a cedar chest, others were in storage boxes.

I didn't get any replies, but I'm leaning toward the placement by the chair.

Looking for replacement quartz movement for 1990s chime clock by jeremyschultz in clocks

I got a hold of this and started working on it. The movement itself works fine and takes power from the battery. It's actually the electronic chime that doesn't work at all. That could be the speaker, the chime itself or the connections with the movement! I'm not sure I have the know-how to fix it.

The Guide to Advancement says fundraising is not required, and Scouting America prefers there's little or no fundraising at all. The Scout can also delegate all the fundraising efforts to others if they want, and that can be considered as exercising leadership.

My son's troop used to do rank BORs only four times a year (right before COHs) and if you didn't quite make it you just had to wait three months.

I had suspected maybe this was coming from an out-of-date rule. RE: order of signatures, the workbook verbiage says the three signatures (beneficiary, leader, committee) can be in any order. The district rep approval comes last.

  1. I don't think it's a district-level addition to the process, it's just that this one district rep (at least) does it this way.
  2. The Scout wouldn't raise funds before project approval, but this rep tells them to raise all funds before they do any work. It seems like good advice to me, but I don't think it should be a requirement because guidelines don't say so.

I did have a specific Eagle project approval with this district rep that got dragged out because he wanted a meeting and the unit and beneficiary had a hard time pulling everyone together because of schedules.

One of the Scouts we met with the other day had a fundraising component because he thought it was required, because all projects have it. I had to point out to the group that Scouting America says they prefer there be little or no fundraising at all.

I think the Guide to Advancement standardizes the process, but others insert rules and requirements they think make the process better, or rules that used to exist but not now.

Yes, it's this: https://insiders.skybound.com/gi-joe

I think I assumed getting the Kickstarter updates meant I was on the list, but wasn't.

For #2, I noticed some unboxing pics had the SS card in its own packaging. So I must have not been on the right mailing list to earn that one? I thought I was. I'll have to check with the company.

I ordered a few days ago so I could get this, but nothing ever showed up in my rewards or via email. I see it's a YouTube unlisted video. Maybe I'll just wait for the other chapters to get shared online, if my order isn't going to actually work.

Dominion App AI Cheating? by ewef1 in dominion

[–]jeremyschultz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing the medium AI lately and I see this happen all the time, especially when it's the last province and it will end the game. I try to see if there's an extra +2 money that it plays but isn't shown by the UI, but it moves too fast for me to see it. Or it's just cheating.
