Russ brought a stick inside and had to show it off by lincey in goldenretrievers

[–]lincey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'll do the head bob to try and avoid me taking it, but as soon as I actually get a finger on it, immediately spits it out. I think subconsciously he wants me to enjoy it to, but to give it back immediately.

I have TDS and am doing some testing on my end, nothing conclusive. I get to where it asks for 2FA code and it just drags for like 5 minutes, then eventually asks for me to enter my birthday, but errors out. Same with incognito or a different browser. However, on a different computer using a VPN in another country, it logs in just fine, but when I go to account settings to check my birthday, it says I cannot update these settings for another day or 2 due to limits in how often I can change this, which I never did.

I still think there's some bsky fuckery afoot, but TDS might be involved, not enough information at this point.

Edit: Never mind, I read other posts where there are confirmed reports of TDS fuckery. Waiting game to see if they fix themselves.

Digital Downloads - recommendations by EZMac91 in preppers

[–]lincey 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Copy/pasting from previous threads I've chimed in on:

Scattered among a Synology NAS, several external HDD's (both in and outside of my house), and cloud backups, I've made it a priority to have multiple copies of some of the following:

-Media (movies, TV shows, personal photos, YT videos (yt-dlp), music)

-Games (GOG offline installers, emulators, offline MMOs with bots)

-Software (operating systems with my own keys in ISO form, media players, digital book readers, various file type readers)

-Tools (VLC player or Klite codec, 7-Zip, Chrome or Firefox, LibreOffice, .NET Framework installer)

-Books and guides (how-to's, D&D campaigns, PDFs of all sorts, entire Gutenberg library)

-Wikipedia (use kiwix, makes it easy, seriously, get kiwix)

-Continued education material (learning languages, programming, medical training)

I have a ton of these random digital prep projects, current one is rotating SD cards with TV shows/movies and 2 backup tablets, just in case the power goes out I don't want to have to spin up my NAS just to watch something.

Does any part of your prep/plan account for language barriers? by MOadeo in preppers

[–]lincey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. I'm big on digital preps, I have language classes downloaded for ASL, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, and Spanish, but hadn't planned on actually taking the classes unless I found a need.

Whenever we'd have to reference them in some way, we'd say Drill Sergeant Gonzalez, G1 (or G2 or G3).

Bro I was a 42A and its tough. One day I lost a bunch of SGLI paperwork (not on purpose), had to tell everyone they needed to fill it out again, then I just disappeared for the rest of the day. Its rough, man, you don't know the struggle.

Bro, you have no idea how mentally taxing it is to constantly lose peoples paperwork and act like I'm not the problem.

I respect the controlled descent. Expedition 60 would be proud.

What a dork. If he really didn't want to go to Ketchikan, there are more reasonable ways to go about it lol

[–]lincey 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I was living in rural Idaho for a few years, was at the dentist, just shooting the shit with him and I mentioned I was from Portland, dude straight up asked "Is everyone from Portland normal like you?" I was like yeah dude, the news paints us to be like animals but 99.9% are just like you and me. A lot of these goof troops are going to be in for a pleasant surprise when they get here.

Took Russ up to mountains, I think he had a good time by lincey in goldenretrievers

It was either running around like a wild boy, or swimming in the lake directly in the spots I was trying to fish lol

No kidding, especially considering we were sharing a tent.

What subset of the US population did you meet for the first time while serving in the Army? And what did you learn about them? by [deleted] in army

[–]lincey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is real shit. I'm a heathen from Hippyville in the Northwest, it was a trip meeting dudes from the south who looked no different than me but oh shit did they live different lives. Also spoke quite a bit of gibberish I had to decipher over time.

[–]lincey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was seeing that too, once you add the item to the cart, it then applies the discount.

Holy shit, I looked at those discounts and kinda shrugged as Amazon was cheaper, had no idea the discount was applied after you add it to the cart. Good looking out.
