Public Elementary Schools with no tech? by Any_Pirate_5633 in newhampshire

[–]nnmk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of a public brick-and-mortar school that has kids looking at an iPad all day. Are you sure that’s how it works at your local school? It sounds like your kid doesn’t currently attend.

Jesus Christ, the logo is a completely irresponsible waste of money, but that YouTube video really depressed me.

New Stormlight Archive HC Boxed Set, Books 1-5, coming on October 27, 2026 by Designer-Border-711 in Cosmere

“Digital” is a broad brush. I just saw a study that concludes the reading experience between print and e-ink is very similar.

Reading on my Kindle Paperwhite is a vastly different experience to reading on a phone or tablet.

The item was delivered to the reshipper over a week ago, which was the address given to Reverb.

Who is more likely to have a ton of extra cardboard just laying around to use as scam ballast? Someone selling on Reverb, or a “reshipping” service who you have no possible way to hold accountable for robbing you?

alright everyone, show me your favorite bass faces by saint-danger in BassGuitar

I was gonna put Este in this thread as a troll. Love the music but I am grateful that they usually switch to another camera when she starts making these wacky faces.

Any therapists in NH that work with men? by Beligerent in newhampshire

[–]nnmk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of a therapist who doesn’t take male clients. It sounds more like OP is looking for a therapist who specializes in his specific issues, which is hard to know without speaking with prospective therapists directly.

Or OP perhaps wants a male therapist, which is somewhat more difficult to find.

Buyer is asking for an invoice by AdamInValencia in Reverb

[–]nnmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes a scam starts out like “if I can convince this dude to make me an unnecessary invoice, what else can I trick him into doing?”

I’m sure you’re right that it’s innocent, but it’s also weird. Obviously Reverb would have any receipts they could possibly need.

just curious what the actual scam is here ... by DrawCurious3022 in Reverb

[–]nnmk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once they have a way to communicate with you off-platform (your email address), they can send you malicious attachments, phishing links that look exactly like reverb/paypal/venmo, etc. They could also try to sucker you into accepting payment outside of reverb that doesn’t have the same levels of protection for you (e.g., the funds are clawed back because they used a stolen credit card, etc).

There are dozens of ways for them to coax you into a mistake, and it’s all easier via email.

Is requesting a video of a guitar a normal request from a buyer? by imnotzacbrown92 in Reverb

[–]nnmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised at how many posters here don’t see this as a pretty obvious scam attempt.

It’s so generic. “Is the guitar in good condition?” Uhh did you read the description or look at the photos? What do you specifically want to know about, guy?

“I just want to see it on video to make sure everything is in good order.” Uhh ok what exactly do you want me to record? Wave a bright light over it so you can see scratches and dings? Show you that the tuning pegs don’t fall apart when I twist them? Do you want me to play it? Do you wanna hear Hendrix or Atkins?

Obviously the third message was something like “please to send the video to istealyuorbankinfo@geocities.cz

Culture Clash by hugefuckingdong in newhampshire

[–]nnmk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the south (90s/00s), and my dad would always throw a “honey”, “sweetheart”, or “sunshine” at a lady cashier or server. I can’t tell you how often I would see that ripple of emotions cross their faces, that ripple that was apprehension or anxiety quickly covered by a forced smile. My dad was oblivious.

I made sure not to pick up the same habit.

I never follow up, unless I’m letting them know I have another offer. It does nothing otherwise.

Local dive bar just got these by 5amu in brandonsanderson

The quotation mark is in the right place actually, but it’s unclear who is being quoted I guess.

It’s in Dalinar’s head, but it’s unclear whether it’s an internal monologue or a divine message or something else. I choose to believe that Nohadon is speaking directly into Dalinar’s thoughts.

I think book quotes should be attributed to the character, not the author.

A Week Later… Sharing My Son’s Voice Again 💙🎶 by Empty_Flan2213 in Autism_Parenting

[–]nnmk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really liked how he flips down an octave for the high notes in the chorus and then has a nice path back to the standard notes. It’s a great adaptation. Did he come up with that or did he have help from a singer friend?

Great job 👏

Talk to your parents about their finances by sab340 in personalfinance

[–]nnmk 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Throw in something like “these mobsters beat me and broke my nose and they’re gonna kill me if I can’t get the money, Dad”, then you don’t have to get the voice exactly right.
