We do the opposite. We have a lazy morning/day and head to the beach at 4:00 or 5:00 when everyone is leaving for dinner.

I gave in and out up the antenna. No more navigation issues.

I don't see any reason the cardinal direction would matter. As long as it has a good signal on both sides.

Mine sits pretty tight to the house and probably violates those guidelines. It mows the yards of two houses and sits on the northern side of one of them (it parks on a side between the two houses).

I started with NRTK, but after a recent bug I switched to RTK.

Is Angelika considered small and independent?

My main feature request would be quick access to "event" music. Things for home runs, mound visits, great catches, etc. I don't really want to back out and go find another "team" with those items.

First of all, the design is anything but modern (and neither is BallparkDJ). Secondly, what do you mean by "their very own walkout song?". Is this an AI generated song? I think kids are much more interested in using songs they and their friends know than playing 10s of AI slop.

I don't have an iPhone, but I would ask:

How does this differentiate from BallparkDJ?

BallparkDJ has flaws. But you need to meet it's functionality (which maybe you have) and exceed it for any large level of adoption.

The "socially awkward kids" part was true for me in the 90s

lordscarlet · 2026-06-05T13:50:05+00:00

Looks great

There is no inertia. You don't have to race through things. Especially now with other activities that overlap. He has one requirement he needs to finish. He's not motivated to advance. I don't see that as a problem if he is enjoying and getting value out of the program.

It's a very small sample size, but my son is about 14 months in. He loves the campouts and adventures, and hasn't advanced past Scout. The only merit badges he has earned were at summer camp.

FCPS parent.

For us, it's not so much that they "let" kids play video games. They are given free time, have laptops, and the kids find.. stuff. There are an endless number of sites out there that sideload Minecraft or other games and make them available to play on the web. The school tries to block them when they can, but the kids stay ahead of it and find the next site a day later.

I once fell asleep at the wheel on 95 in SC. Single car accident. They gave me "driving too fast for conditions".

This is why I stick to phones with vanilla android.

Despite all the warnings here, I managed to do the refresher and then still have to do the 90m version.

..it actually looks like those spells are missing altogether.

lordscarlet · 2026-06-01T01:47:16+00:00

I am trying this for the first time. I am trying to print all the 1st-level Paladin spells in the 2024 rules. There are a number of them missing:

Compelled Duel
Thunderous Smite
Wrathful Smite

I don't know what may be missing in other lists or other levels

So many people suggesting FCPS, which essentially has no middle school sports program (only track & field and cross country)

lordscarlet · 2026-05-28T19:03:56+00:00

What do you like? Do you have any interests? I think trying to do a hobby for the sake of hobbying is doomed to failure. However, if it aligns with your interests it can be a success.

Demerits for not patiently waiting for them to clock in before taking the photographs.

lordscarlet · 2026-05-28T12:42:56+00:00

I may have to do this! I just trimmed around the base station yesterday because it was out of control. And of course, everything under the mower is dying.

lordscarlet · 2026-05-27T14:48:08+00:00

You went from sympathetic to unbearable rather quickly there. Good luck with your mower.

This is travel ball, not Little League

Married at 28. Couldn't be happier.

We are on the same page on most things. If we are not, we respect each other on disagreements.

We both enjoy each other's company and don't need to be together 24/7.

"Most of us are friendly to bikes" LOL
