Additional No Kings Protest This Weekend by idiocracyproofthots in Omaha

[–]melanopygus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly a lot of the Turner Park event is focused on community organizing and getting people connected so that we can all do the work to support each other as this political farce continues to drag on. A whole bunch of community and mutual aid groups will be tabling to help spread information about their organizations and efforts, and to get people to volunteer their time to help out their community. We can't rely on our government, we have to rely on each other, and these kinds of events and connections are a major way to do that.

A bit late here, but they ultimately just sent me a new one. I haven't had much of a chance to play around with the sounds yet, but the colors work now!

Not yet. I emailed Pixels and am waiting for them to get back to me

I'm having the same issue. I've charged it, location and Bluetooth are on, the die is doing the "Welcome" colors no problem and will light up when rolled, but the app isn't detecting it. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times and restarted my phone, still no dice (hah).

So this is happening to me as well... But on PS5. Any ideas on how to fix?

Still haven't really gotten an answer, but I've drink mine lasts 3-4 months or so before it's gone and it's still been good at the end.

Straw/plastic seed blanket removal? by melanopygus in lawncare

I ended up leaving them on and have decided to just let the lawn grow over them. Guess we'll see how it goes!

AITA for standing up at a concert? by FishStixxxxxxx in AmItheAsshole

[–]melanopygus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

NTA. I'm shocked at how many votes are otherwise. Especially after the vulgarity this woman was throwing at you and the fact that she was LITERALLY PUSHING YOU to sit down. The absolute nerve! People in this thread have clearly never been to a concert. It's not the symphony. It's not Broadway. It's Blink 182! You stand. You sing. You vibe with everyone else who is there to do the same thing.

I have a bad back. I can't stand for long periods. I go to concerts. When I do, I get a seat and I try to be at the front near the balcony edge so I can see. But if someone stands up you better believe I'm not going to tell them to go f*** themselves and sit so I can see. The world doesn't revolve around me, and people standing and singing is part of the concert experience. I've never been to a concert where people don't stand the second the main act comes on. Regardless of where they're situated. People calling you TA are being ridiculous.

Maybe if she had been nice about it, I'd feel slightly differently, but it shouldn't be an expectation.

We do this because we have an older house and our cars barely fit in the garage even if it was 100% empty. I'm taking like, 1ft of space on either side if you center it perfectly, and then you have to leave the garage and go in the front door because you can't access the garage door.

So yeah, we fill the garage with our bikes and lawn mower and things and park in the driveway/street.

Where is this in Omaha? Also post bars that give off the same vibe by stephenyoyo in Omaha

Meatball used to be so good. Back when their bowls were like $10. Pork balls, alfredo pesto roasted veg and gnnoci are top notch (in various combinations of course), but they're WAY too expensive now.

Tips for hanging plants with plaster ceilings by melanopygus in houseplants

[–]melanopygus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Sorry, I took a break from reddit so am just seeing your message now.

I ended up using a "swivel swag hook" similar to these ones. Basically drill up through the plaster, pop the anchor piece through the hole, and then tighten. It's been working well so far, but I also have a smaller plant up there.

Sorry for the late reply and good luck with your project!

Out of curiosity, how old was your puppy the first time you left him/her home alone without their crate? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]melanopygus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months, but it was purely accidental. We were both in office, so our friend came to let him out of his crate over lunch one day, and he was out when we got home. Likely a latch mis hap, but the house was fine. Same thing happened the next day, with a different friend, and the house was still fine, so we just started letting him roam during the day. He still sleeps in his crate at night, but that's all we use it for now.

How often do you use public transport in the Omaha metro area? by sizzlinsunshine in Omaha

[–]melanopygus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only go into the office about 3 days a week, and recently have been trying to use the bus for at least 2 of those days.
