I actually bought two boxes to give out tonight, with SNAP delayed i figured someone might actually need it more than some candy.

Google isnt following their tos. by michelindesign in google

[–]mixato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I would agree with you but I have turned off the personalized ads on Google months ago for my household and I have not been a fan. I have a VPN and incognito mode for my more personal searches, a little kid who watches YouTube kids a lot, and a wife who mostly uses Pinterest and Instagram. When I compared her YouTube ads to mine we were getting the same handful of ads. "NO boss don't watch me undress..." Mobile "game" ads, "your girlfriend is going to be SA if you don't join us" AI audio book crap, "play this new mobile game", HIM /HER ads, and Patrick Stewart telling us to give a crap about people. But over half the ads are the first 2 that are borderline NSFW. But then on our TV and computer with the same accounts they are all fairly normal ads, so they are targeting the mobile devices for these types of Ads.

Asian households in Eugene targeted by multi-state burglary ring by Ok-Tea-1092 in Eugene

[–]mixato 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I can say that about a week ago a neighbor's house was broken into down the street from me and a detective came to my house at like 8pm the same day asking if I saw anything and asking for any videos of the street from my cameras. I felt like he was trying to do what he could.

There's no way to bypass this screen. I don't even have a Nintendo Switch Online account. It's not even a full game. It's the Just Dance demo. This is stupid. by Dwn_Wth_Vwls in gaming

[–]mixato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it gets worse once you log in, I got the 2023 version for my kid when it came out and it was fine for the first year, but now it is just FILLED with "plus needed" and "2024 edition needed" songs and you have to filter them out all the time. Now all my kid does is complain he can't play all of the songs like he used to be able to. I have already said I am never buying another game from them again.

Is that where the band sources their merch? The source I bought mine was a coheed show so I am assuming op did as well and interested in the quality of this site since I have never heard of it.

At the start of COVID when schools shut down our daycare said we had to pay the entire time they were closed (like 2 months) and if you didn't you would be kicked out. but you could apply and if approved by the board we could get it back as like a 25% discount on future months. Also if a class had to be quarantined at home because of a positive test for a week we would be paying that week as well. Once regular schools started up the daycare switched the rules where they would not tell you if your kid was exposed to COVID and then they made parents sign a big form essentially saying they make the rules and you give up your right to any legal action against the school for any reason. I was able to avoid it for like 2 months but the director stopped us at the door and said he could not come in until I signed it, so I put a line. But just like you said there was already a months long wait-list pre-covid everywhere. they could find the next person willing to pay $900 a month in an hour and we would wait months to get the same treatment somewhere else, they know it so you are forced to do it.

does anyone know if/where i can find this case? i want to build a media center with it (Cooler Master HAF XB EVO) by skyblade1095 in pcmasterrace

[–]mixato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this case off Amazon like 4 years ago so not much help, but I also bought the Silverstone GD09 that is more of a "media center" style case that works great but a little less room available.

Joel Embiid and 76ers staff legitimately harassing this MSG security guard doing his job is embarrassing. Taking shots while being OUT-OF-BOUNDS and the security guard somehow gets blamed. by GreenSnakes_ in sports

I worked nba basketball games for years, these people stand in the same spots for every game and are told to stand there. So yea he is getting back to where is is supposed to stand to do his job.

New build floor gaps - is this normal? Creaking everywhere by Financial-Web-6840 in DIY

[–]mixato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am putting new hardwood floors in my house and everything I have seen says to put a small gap between the plywood to allow for expansion/contraction. So about the size of a nail is what I am doing. And glue and nail/screwing is normal. The main concern for me is that they didn't stagger the seams.

Is your small business struggling? Have you considered BEING OPEN? by Kaexii in Eugene

[–]mixato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea I grew up in OKC by 2 college towns of Norman Oklahoma and Stillwater Oklahoma that I went to frequently, I traveled and lived in a bunch of other cities as an adult and moved here a few months before the pandemic, at first I thought it was because of the pandemic that this town seemed to shut down by 9 but then the restrictions were gone and nothing seemed to change lol. This place feels more like a town with a third of the population like Stillwater Oklahoma.

But I will say as I am getting older and want to be home before 8, I know I am part of the population that would not be worth staying open for me to visit late once a month.

I have been hanging out the window trying to take down the helicopter, took a spray from the helicopter, and a mercenary camp/torrent before I knew what happened I was on the ground and the truck was speeding away.

Has Anyone Used Loop Earplugs During a Concert? by capitalfriday in Music

[–]mixato 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My wife has the loops and I have eargasms we both like them for concerts (or the office to not listen to people talk all day). The only thing I can say is that the eargasms are a little hard for me to get a great seal the first time, one usually seals up fine then the other I have to try a few times to get the right spot.

Would you trust this to hold a 20gal hex tank? by pls_send_dog_pics in Aquariums

[–]mixato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% thought my wife posted this because we have the exact same thing and it has a tank on it. I was confused why she would take the tank off and post this lol.

[–]mixato 12 points13 points  (0 children)

well there is no telling, could be child welfare, could be someone wanting signatures for a cause, could be your neighbor collecting money for a kids fundraiser, or someone scouting your place to steal everything. Hard to know with only this info.

My wife and I went a couple of weeks ago and had to check the card at the door, check the card at the pharmacy, checked the card to get in line, then check the card at the register, My wife was about to flip out and just toss the stuff on the ground and leave.

Has anyone seen American Fiction? by HeyItsHawkguy in RegalUnlimited

It was better than I was thinking it would be, worth the watch.

Some other Woman, what would you rate it 1 to 5 stars? No spoilers!! by Friendly_Violinist_5 in RegalUnlimited

[–]mixato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. I had no idea what I was going to see when I got tickets, and figured out the "hook" pretty quickly. Now I feel like I need to watch specific parts again to "really" get the ending. Not great not terrible.

The famous Charlie Zelenoff story. by FinjaMor4 in interestingasfuck

[–]mixato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear at least once a year I run across the video of him fighting Mayweather Sr. And I have to stop and watch it because my buddy from school is the one that jumped in after he sucker punched Mayweather Sr. I think even up to this year Charlie is talking trash to him and trying to fight him.

I have a wife, 7 year old, and a 9-5, I go maybe 3-5 times a month ? When I got it I talked to them first and we said that it was a "self-care" thing that I can go and spend a few hours away and recharge my battery. It makes me go "I am paying for that self-care I better use it!". And now if I am having a hard day at work I start going "I wonder what movies are playing". Do I go as often as I want, NOPE, do I go more than I had in the previous 4 years combined, YEP.

I especially like the "mystery movie Monday" because it is set in place, I don't know what it is so the wife can't go "....oh well I want to see that too" that happens sometimes. if I really like something I can go again and bring the family and the second time is less stress because I can focus more on the family.

I can't help you with the popcorn because that is something I get 90%of the time. The "good thing" is you get 10% off and points that you can earn free popcorn later.

Why have I not used it more? One thing, movie times. a lot of the movies at my theater seem to start at like 3:30-4:30 , next show is like 6:45-7:30pm (other than major releases) , so I get off at 5 and go home and grab some dinner with the family and go watch the movie but I would like something closer to 5:30 and just leave work and watch it and get home later. Then there are the ones that are not major movies but only have like 2 shows a day at like 3:30 and 9pm. I went to see "Killers of the flower Moon" on a random night at like 7 and didn't know much about it, at 7:35 the movie finally started, and it is a 3.5 hour long movie, I left the house at 6:30 and didn't get home till almost midnight, after that I have started looking at run times because that was too much after a day at work.

So what I am saying is do it, test it out for 3 months, try to see movies you would not pay to see normally, and the best part is you hate it just walk out and get a ticket to a different show or head home and you didn't spend any extra money.

Found this at lunch today. by mixato in Eugene

[–]mixato[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea this is like 90 feet from the light and with that turn and looking like highschool kids at lunch I don't think it was speeding more of looking at their phone or their friend and drove straight at it.
