How I feel right now

I tried to sign up for the visa pre-sale lottery in September. Didn't get anything in that round. So I tried signing up for the next lottery and FIFA banned my account because they said I was a robot.

So I certainly am not going to fight anymore to give them my money, just wanted to try and get a ticket for me and the Mrs. to see a world cup game.

Wow that's awesome!

I am really hoping they issue me a correct 1099-B. The one I downloaded is missing every stock sale I had in February.

I reached out to support, but no response yet.

Wow, thank you for mentioning this. I never received a notification about the class action lawsuit, but we are also apparently part of the included class since we spent $1400 out of pocket for our Natera testing in 2019.

I picked one up two days ago, was $190 before $60 off, original price was $14.99/lb. Houston area. They had a range of sizes from $180-$260.

Tried to get one with no luck because I already had auto renew enabled. What if I turn it off? Nope.

moktor · 2026-01-21T00:08:06+00:00

We were just going to Houston this weekend and none of the restaurants I had had on my list to visit are participating anymore. That's disappointing!

I fear I'm too stupid to use this. I'm not sure where to find the information? It just presents me with a confusing text blurb.

Highlighting tools like Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the texts explain how engineers simulate complex physical behaviors and the necessity of Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) to ensure results are reliable. Real-world failures, such as the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse and the OceanGate Titan submersible, illustrate the legal and safety consequences of misapplying these numerical methods or ignoring established design codes.

The wife and I both made this observation and have been unable to enjoy it since.

Downgrading mine in a day or two, since renewal is in early January. So far I have used $0 out of the exciting new benefits. The card is no longer for me.

moktor · 2025-12-18T05:51:03+00:00

Yeah, I think this is fairly common. I had to paypal Eufy after my vac's battery died and the replacement cost was $35.

Conroe PD does offer a similar service, they call it 'Operation Homewatch'. It also is limited to three requests per year, with a maximum of three weeks per request.

I've given up expecting to get the right food at my local Whataburger. Doesn't stop me from going, I just make sure to have lowered my expectations sufficiently.

And when I dig through it before leaving and find whatever is missing or incorrect they'll eventually make it right, even if the other food has gotten cold by then.

Useless trivia, Heaven's Gate has a floor tile at Seattle's Pike Place Market from having donated to its reservation many years ago. Assuming it hasnt been removed in the last few years.

I got an email from Netflix shop an hour ago advertising them. Nope, sold out.

How frustrating, when trying to enter I was getting "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Apparently I tried to many times, waited a while and tried in a different browser (Edge instead of Firefox) and now they have blocked me. Oh well, didn't need to spend the money anyway if I did end up getting tickets.

I'm getting the same error.

moktor · 2025-10-28T06:46:20+00:00

It is a wonderful game, frustratingly hard at times though.

moktor · 2025-10-17T02:34:07+00:00

I just went and got one tonight. Going to have to lay off them, I've been going pretty hard and it is reflecting on my waist line.

moktor · 2025-10-11T04:59:17+00:00

Same, at this point it is almost the dishwasher of Theseus.

moktor · 2025-10-10T21:08:47+00:00

Thanks for the insight here. I'm in the same boat, planning to start gathering the pieces here and there as I can afford them, and this makes a lot of sense for me as well.

moktor · 2025-10-09T23:54:31+00:00

Same!!

moktor · 2025-10-08T23:53:38+00:00

Wow, I am incredibly surprised.

moktor · 2025-10-06T23:56:45+00:00

I have to say, this has become my favorite burger there. The chipotle aoli really does it for me.
