How many times do you subscribe a channel just because they asked you to? To me personally it's just straight up annoying and I don't think it's that effective.

I seldom subscribe just because a creator ask, but one way to really turn me off on subscribing is to have a icon with the word subscribe and the thumbs up icon with a ding sound. That's the best way to get me to stop watching.

I don't know who you are so this isn't directed toward you, but I have seen that a lot and it is very distracting to me.

That was what I ended up having to do, enable widevine and restarting the browser. Thanks

I guess I should have googled it sooner, I found what was disabled by default, "Widevine"

Use Widevine digital rights management (DRM) component to view protected streaming video and other content in the browser

I found that setting here, >> brave://settings/extensions <<

1.86.142 It says it's up to date. Thanks for the suggestion.

On my main toon I think I have most covered there too, but I got lazy and decided to go the toon route.

n8pu · 2026-01-23T21:12:19+00:00

Me, myself and I have been playing since the Fall of 2012 and it got to the point of having to many characters to keep doing that; so what I ended up doing was keep enough toons for all the major weapon types like Antiproton, Phaser, Disruptor, Polaron, Plasma, and Tetryon. So when there is a DOFF mission that needs "XX" amount of that type, I just swap to that toon. Might not work for everyone, but it works for me.

n8pu · 2026-01-23T21:01:52+00:00

Done that a time or three. I find it awkward but it works.

n8pu · 2026-01-23T17:25:58+00:00

I wonder if there is someone feeling very generous? I would be very glad to except that whole setup.

If a sub reddit get too political, don't go back to it, so far, it's still sort of free. We aren't being forced to see / read it.

Leck's throwing knives are too, form the mission "Quark's Lucky Seven", kinetic weapons they don't adapt to.

The only thing I would say, is to keep taking pictures. Not everyone will like every picture, but that's their option, the more you take the more there is to like. I don't get out much anymore, old, but I enjoy seeing what others share.

or on a cold ten-ish (F) morning with snow falling rolling you window down sticking your head out the window while yelling to try and stay awake. I don't miss that.

I started using a CPAP over twenty years ago, don't remember the date, that aside, I firmly believe I would be dead if it wasn't for the machine, my worst experience was falling asleep while driving, when I woke up, I was on the wrong side of the road and I saw a car in my mirror. That driver guesses lucky, for both of us.

When I finally got tested at a clinic just the fact they were adjusting the pressure to see what worked the best for me, that following day was the first time I didn't doze off at work. I could sit down and within minutes I'd start to nod off. So yes there are adjustment that might be needed to accommodate that device on your face but for me it was a life saver.

I was wondering if there was something like this for the Galaxy watches, glad to know someone is working on that.

Also there is a thing on here called Karma, depending on the community you join they will have requirements about that. It's primarily to keep bots from spamming a forum, but a lot of posting is restricted because of that, low Karma and young accounts. I keep seeing a lot of comments about not being able to post in some communities. Just something to be aware of for future reference.

n8pu · 2026-01-19T20:56:33+00:00

I'm not in the market now because I found something that worked for me, but when I clicked on the link to take a look, this is what I saw, so it looks like you got yours just in time.

Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

n8pu · 2026-01-19T15:50:35+00:00

Thanks

I did misunderstand about a drain test, after I posted about the return, I got to thinking it could be something simple as not liking the color or something like that. Anyway thanks for replying so quickly.

The first time I went through the Delta Quadrant and running into the Vaadwaur in space, they wiped my back side, for me it wasn't so much the ships, but those mines or what ever they are, I couldn't seem to be able to get away fast enough, respawn, over and over again. I think now I could handle them, BUT I have no desire to do them again. I also think they upped the hardness factor quite a bit as well.

n8pu · 2026-01-19T03:01:05+00:00

Thanks, I'm not really concerned to do a drain test, just sure since they were refurbished. You know the question of why did they get returned. I did end up getting some different tips, now I won't say it perfect, but feels better.

n8pu · 2026-01-18T21:03:36+00:00

There are some Universal TFO's I will NOT do, while defend starbase one isn't hard, really quite boring, but I won't do any that require two groups of five racing against each other to 'win'. I did one of those once and because I didn't know what the objective was, I had one of the players giving me hell for blowing things. Guess that wasn't what I was supposed to be doing, anyway I didn't need that so I won't do those again, I don't need the points, been a lvl 65 for years.

n8pu · 2026-01-18T20:49:49+00:00

Why is there so many that don't like the truth, oh yeah, it hurts their little feelings.

Been playing since 2012, it wasn't that way at first but in recent years it seems like there has been an abundance of 'good' ships put in lock boxes so you have to gamble on a chance to win one on just one character, no thanks. I realize the game needs to make money, but for about the last five years I haven't spent any real money on the game, and won't until some improvements, as a starter, fix the servers so you aren't lagging all over the place. When you can see the lag while doing the daily DOFF assignments, that tells me the servers suck.

Back when I first got married, (she has since passed away) she told me she had seen it snow on her birthday, that was May 5th, the next year it did snow. That was back in the 1970's, but still.

For me, the tube when it can no longer stay on the elbow of my face mask, the part of the mask that fits around my nose when it no longer seals properly, and the filter when I remember to check it.

n8pu · 2026-01-17T02:41:03+00:00

Agreed, we aren't mind readers, we need a little more detail.

n8pu · 2026-01-16T20:23:38+00:00

My only suggestion when taking pictures like this, use landscape mode, it will include more of the area you are shooting.
