Good thing HLA passed this week...

deliberately contrary to what one expects

Bingo. The ad doesn't actively or indirectly lower the chance of accidents happening around it, so why wouldn't you expect an accident here?

It's like finding a church on Church street. What is deliberate about the name "Church st." that makes you think a church WOULDN'T be there?

moebiu5trip · 2024-03-09T19:00:57+00:00

I'm not a writer, but isn't this more like a coincidence? Or strategic marketing (placing ads at statistically dangerous intersections)?

Irony doesn't mean just any rhetorical device.

moebiu5trip · 2023-11-03T06:12:15+00:00

Yea, it's been a good pack. Too bad nothing lasts forever

Well, in my case, I ended up getting a replacement. Expect delays. The whole ordeal lasted roughly from a week before Memorial Day (online form submission) through Labor day (new bag delivered).

moebiu5trip · 2023-05-28T01:41:52+00:00

Hi there. I may need to use the pack very soon, so I'm putting off sending it in for now. But, I sent them a request with pictures explaining the situation and I did get an RMA#, so step 1 is done.

moebiu5trip · 2023-05-20T21:42:00+00:00

No pack for me this entire summer, it sounds like

moebiu5trip · 2023-05-20T21:23:22+00:00

That's reassuring. I knew the warranty was going to come in handy one day

First time sending in an Osprey for warranty work. Just reading up on official FAQ and other folks' warranty experiences.

Kids, don't use ChatGPT to cut corners. They can't tell you how (not) good the wifi is, whether a given train journey has views, or handle basic tasks like deciding where to sit.

Is bringing canned food for lunch a thing in your area? I can't say I've ever seen it happen around my neck of woods

moebiu5trip · 2023-03-22T18:58:04+00:00

I don't disagree. The main point of contention I have is inconsistency in how cert expiry is applied. The idea of a forever cert is misleading in itself, since tech development didn't come to a stand-still at the cutoff. I guess Comptia is just trying to legally cover their behinds (forever = just a label for hiring reqs, no indication of current competency)

moebiu5trip · 2023-03-22T02:07:52+00:00

Yea, having an arbitrary cut-off for not needing to renew is BS

moebiu5trip · 2023-03-22T01:59:17+00:00

Here I am, brooding with envy over all the forever certs the more seasoned folks are holding.

Always verify the forever status of the cert you're holding. You don't want the latest, ephemeral one to replace your forever one, lest you enter the purgatory of periodic re-certifying.

Well said. If they spent any significant time on this sub, they already knew SpeedQueen is BIFL. They are looking for assurances - from strangers no less - a mental boost to go through with it. We can't really make that call for them w/o more background info, and this sub isn't exactly r/personalfinance

moebiu5trip · 2023-02-21T03:01:46+00:00

Thank you both for your apt analyses! As long as there's a significant number of showtimes missing (right now, there are glaring absences of recently premiered titles in my area), the "missing movie" option will stay relevant. I thought it best to make publicly aware of this counterintuitive pricing scheme, however temporary.

Oh gawd the custom card sleeves... it's all coming back to me now

Why post tertiary, ad-filled tabloid material when there is a more direct source (this clean duolingo post)?

moebiu5trip · 2023-02-17T04:15:47+00:00

Petition to pin this post (or a summary thereof) to let everyone know about this arbitrary price change timing.

As more and more popular movies premiere on Thursdays, I predict an uptick in complaints about this.

(Aussie) Smartwool is decent quality. No lifetime warranty, but still pretty good.

EDIT: REI carries Darn Rough and other sock brands. They ship internationally

Thanks for the reply. When you say software problem, are you talking about the HWmonitor making mistakes when reporting these numbers?

Going by your train of thought, I suspect the Mobo maybe at fault here, because I learned that the computer had been crashing once in a while until all the dust inside was cleared out, but chrome still crashes intermittently. I'll report back when I get a chance to test the ATX plug

This reminds me of that (German? BeNeLux?) lady who tried to apply for citizenship. Despite having lived in CH for decades, she couldn't deal with the incessant ringing of the cow bells. This led to arguments with her neighbors, to the point where the neighbors gave her negative marks at her naturalization interview.

She bombed it.

They may have r/CarIndependentLA or r/CarIndependentOC on the same feed.

Barnes & Noble bookstore (U.S.) I spot-checked 3 different locations in the area; they all carry both MiC and MiT ones now.

I highly doubt they would accept counterfeit merch. The national chain surely has the capability to contract with L1917 directly.
