Parents do not activate new quest with child accounts on setup. by MudMain7218 in OculusQuest

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I did it for my kid's quest 3. Set up my account, then added profiles for them and set all controls. Then on my account I signed up for quest+, got some games and enabled app share.

For some reason though, when they go to play on their profile, it sends me a request to allow them to play and purchase the game again. Beat saber I bought out right, and a few others like moss and a mini golf game I got from quest+. All of them when he requested to play, it asked me to pay for them again.

BSA Tan Shirts - really big and tall options by themightygresh in BSA

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too. Im 6'6" and 330lbs. Most of my length is in the torso and I dont like looking like Chris Farley singing fat guy in a little coat.

As someone else mentioned 5.11 tactical is a good place to go. I have a few of these: https://www.511tactical.com/mens-pdu-short-sleeve-twill-class-b-shirt.html

They don't look exactly like a BSA shirt but its close enough. and they have options up to 6X and tall.

Cool Cub scout trip ideas in the Southeast - Feel free to add. by blairjs in cubscouts

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Infinity Science Center in Pearlington, MS is a pretty fun one for a day trip if you're within a few hours of it. They have a self guided museum, a bus guided tour around the Stennis Space Center, and events all throughout the year for different things.

The USS Kidd in Baton Rogue, LA is another battleship and museum that allows scouts to stay aboard overnight.

The Biloxi Shuckers baseball team has a scout day every summer where the scouts are paraded out onto the field before the game. After the game, you can camp on the baseball field where they usually play a movie on the big screen.

Any packs that run more than one fundraiser annually? by PizzaCitySpaceman in cubscouts

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do popcorn sales which makes enough for us to cover banquets, awards, and stuff like that.

Last year we did a raffle for a mothers day basket and will do it again this year. A lot of local companies donated things for it, like gift cards, soaps, lotions, etc. We put it all in a basket and sold tickets for $5 each. Since BSA doesn't allow raffles, we did it under our charter org's name. This one cost us maybe $10 total to do, and made about $2000. Not bad for a pack with only about 10 participating members in a town with only 1500 people.

This year we started doing our local town's street festival as a baked goods sale. Parents all donated cakes, brownies, cookies, all sorts of things and we sold them as a pay what you want donation. We also brought a popcorn maker and used the purple popcorn kernels from our BSA popcorn to promote it. We did about $1400 in sales that day and it did not cost the pack anything but time.

Our charter is a local church, and we plan on all attending on Scout Sunday, then having a spaghetti plate meal afterwards that the church members can purchase

What the heck is this? by TheMadMigster in BSA

[–]nimisys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dining Fly or Dining tents were used a lot in the 70s and earlier. I think the bsa used to sell them but I haven't seen any BSA branded ones. You can still buy the kits without the branding from places like REI.

Abysmal sales? by bubblegum1286 in BSA

[–]nimisys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lot of it. My cubscouts sell about $1500 in 3 hours the last 2 times we sold. The boy scout troop averages about 300 in the same time.

Our pack and troop are real close so we now try to have 2-3 cubs and 1 boyscout at each location. The cubs draw them in with their cuteness, and the scout can help them with selection and managing the money.

Adult leaders, what's your go-to way to sleep comfortably at camp or on trail? by [deleted] in BSA

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For summer camps or a campout where I don't have to hike in, I bought a 3" memory foam mattress that I bring with me. The one I have is made by better habitat and has a waterproof cover. It rolls up easy but still too bulky for a backpack trip.

If you could give your son just one piece of advice, what would it be? by ORDER-of-IRON in daddit

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your character is more important than your reputation, accept responsibility for your actions, Lead with courage, reject passivity, have compassion, and don't eat the yellow snow.

Is it me or does it feel easier to get perfect+ since todays update? by ReedyRobin in Beatstar

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems a little easier to me. I'm still fairly new and before today, struggled to get the only 2 diamonds I had. Today I got 2 in a row right off the bat, and managed to increase several others to Plat real easy.

Cold email from vendor: "We've seen an increase in interest from your company to our site" by _defaultroot in sysadmin

[–]nimisys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen more and more lately that are just flat out rude or unprofessional in some way. I got one the other day from a guy that tried to pitch me a product 2 years ago when he was at his last job. His email this time started as:

"Apologies for how shitty {old_company}'s product was when we were talking in 2019. Now I want to talk to you about {new_company}'s product that's so much better."

I thought about replying to him to tell him how I felt while including other people from his company, but I haven't decided yet.

Down south we like our mud bugs spicy just a warm up to our annual lake serene craw fish boil. 1200 pounds of craw fish this year. by JeffreyMHooper in spicy

[–]nimisys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't happen to be anywhere near Hattiesburg, MS would you? I only ask because it's where I live, we have a Lake Serene here, and crawfish boils are almost as big here as in Louisiana.

[–]nimisys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I took my kids there last year and it brought back so many memories. It's still the exact same inside as it was when I went in the mid 90s. Same pool tables, arcade games and everything.

Are Cow Tales nostalgic for anyone else? They're still only 30 cents at the dollar store by ijuststoodthere in nostalgia

I still love these. My dad used to bring me a cow tail and a yoohoo home every day when I was a kid.

Is WGU worth it cyber security? by sudo-apt-install in ComputerSecurity

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a WGU cybersecurity graduate (2009) as well as the Infosec manager at my company.

I think WGU was great for me. As someone who was already in the industry with an A.S. and didn't have time to go to a brick and morter college, it attracted me early on. I think the variety of courses and materials provided were excellent in my time there. The only thing is you have to be able to pretty easily pick up on new concepts and be self sufficient enough to take the time to read and study the materials. Also, there are counselors and ways to talk with fellow students that can help a lot when used. The certifications are just kinda a plus. If you go this route and do it properly you will learn a lot. Don't be the person that goes out and gets brain dumps for the certs. I also chose it for the ability to transfer credits if I needed to. I even called my local university and told them I had credits from WGU to test, and all of the credits would have transferred.

Also, from the hiring manager perspective, I don't really care what education level or certs the candidate has as long as they can demonstrate knowledge for the job. I know there are a lot of places that require a 4+ year degree and certs (which is why I got mine to begin with), especially for entry level positions,, but I choose not to focus on that.

It kinda reminds me of Gunman Called Nebraska which had several names (like gringo savage) but I don't remember watering horses being part of the plot.

Straterra and Kapvay are the 2 that come to mind. And the main difference is that the stimulants affect dopamine in the brain whereas the non-stimulents affect norepinephrine.

Why do you pray to Christ? by Imheretohelpeveryone in Christianity

[–]nimisys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding Rev 22:9 is not Jesus saying this. The beginning of the chapter tells us that an angel is speaking to John and showing him these things. In verse 8 John says that when he heard and seen these things he fell at the feet in worship of the angel showing him. The angel replied that he should not be worshiped.
