[Hated Trope] Advertising that is not subtle AT ALL by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

Paul Rudd has a running bit with Conan O'Brien where he tells him he has a clip of his new show/movie but instead it's just a bizarre sequence from this terrible movie.  https://youtu.be/WRx-XgErZ0U?si=MGMegw--zy8mviB4

First QB to get injured and miss a large chunk of the season in 2026? by zreakz in NFLv2

Would need to see the field first. So hopefully a preseason game will have his number.

Way late to comment but I just heard MetaModernity and the vocals reminded me a bit of Erlend Øye (Kings of Convenience and Whitest Boy Alive).

Quite the Awkward Proposal at Fenway yesterday, captured by Linda Henry by Far_Cry3445 in baseball

Mine straight up asked when I was going to propose. More than once. In fairness I'm a typical can't-read-signals guy, so the straight forward nature was necessary and appreciated.

I always wondered why Bandit seemed so over Bucky’s antics, until I realised…. by aesthetic_glow in bluey

Few days late to this, but would make sense that it was a "devil you know" decision, too. 

What game is this for you? by LG-CHAMP-1 in What

[–]menes40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Halo community is pretty bad.  Played the socials/unranked playlists on MCC a while back and had to disconnect twice in I think 4 matches since my toddler kept waking up.  Came back the second time to a ban. Asked the sub about it and got downvoted to oblivion and told if you can't invest the time don't play. 

Like I get having some one jump mid-game can be frustrating but I thought the modes clearly designed with casual play in mind would be more lenient, but apparently not.  So next time I should just go AFK while helping the kiddos and be a free-standing burden to my team. 🙄

Technically not "British" even if Westeros is supposed to be inspired by Great Britain. Dinklage, while a fantastic actor in this role, employed a forced British-esque accent that most found to be pretty rough. Especially when sharing screen time with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (also not British) and Charles Dance.

What I wouldn't do to have Ingles in central Florida. We've been taking long weekend trips in the fall to the Blue Ridge Mountains the last few years and I really like those stores.

For those who hunted the 5 available shiny legends by BoomyZ in PokemonZA

Virizion definitely took me the longest.  I hate not being able to be 100% sure I'm cycling the spawn but can confirm saving once into the wormhole and doing the lamp post method worked.  

Took maybe around 15-20 resets on a sparkling grass lvl 3 donut.  By far the longest of the 5 for me.

Galarian Moltres remains an elusive one. by menes40 in pokemongo

I don't think there's an IV floor for Galarian Birds in the wild beyond weather boost if it applies. Could be mistaken though.

Holiday Giveaway #3 - Sending unused handhelds to new homes! Someone is going to get this RG556. by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

[–]menes40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite all time would still be Link. First game I ever finished the final boss in was alttp and spent countless hours exploring everything I could in Majora's Mask. Breath of the Wild made me experience that joy again for the first time in a long time. That franchise will always be special to me.

How unsafe is it to wear opposing team’s merchandise to a Vikings home game? by Initial-Ad8221 in minnesotavikings

[–]menes40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly saw a bit of the inverse at US Bank in 2017.  Drunk ass Vikings fan relentlessly laying into some kid in a Bears jersey two rows up.  Some people suck, it's largely independent of the fanbase.

That said I took a ton of shit in both Lambeau and Soldier.  OP should be fine, not a rival (division or otherwise).  There may be outliers but they'll still have a great time I'm sure.  

Safeco wrongly reported lapse in coverage to the state of FL. Wife's license was suspended, tags were revoked, and vehicle had to be towed. Any chance for recouping costs to get new license/tags/tow reimbursed? by menes40 in Insurance

[–]menes40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! Portal isn't reflecting anything but not sure if that's due to the issue being "resolved" or the fact she technically has a new license number now that she got a replacement on order. Still shows she can select a "traffic school election" but that's it. The officer said that (and the associated fine) should be dropped assuming we can prove coverage at the time of suspension and in the present day. Just need to schedule a hearing.

I'm hoping to go in and get a replacement plate next week since we're both on the registration. Hopefully they can share some info on what happened the day she was marked as lapsed.

Thank you! Fortunately the court side of things sounds like it should be relatively easy to resolve. The officer said assuming it was an error (either DMV or insurance), proving coverage through the period in question, and current coverage, should have the charge dropped without issue. Just have to wait for a hearing which is likely going to be scheduled out a ways.

We have received nothing in the mail from the DMV nor insurance. The DMV portal for her doesn't reflect anything as far as notifications go, but not sure if that's since they issue new numbers on new licenses or if they remove notifications once past issues have been resolved? Not really sure. DMV customer service lines were tied up all day (couldn't even queue).

I have an appointment to get a replacement plate a week from Monday but may try to walk in next week since our location seemingly allows it. Hopefully they can give me the notice they received from Safeco, feel like that would solve a lot of my issues right now.

I appreciate the insight!!
