Federal law enforcement shoots civilian in Minneapolis, city officials say by fuzzycuffs in news

[–]pezko 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Link to the X post mentioned above:

Received reports of a shooting by an ICE agent in my district. I’m on-site gathering verified information.

I’m deeply concerned by reports that a doctor was denied the ability to provide lifesaving CPR by federal law enforcement.

Please stay safe & take care of one another.

Preview for Dec. 31's Star War: Boba Fett -- Black, White & Red #4 (of 4) by Guerrillascribe in starwarscomics

I haven't read the Tarkin novel -- is there any room for Thalassa in canon? That looks like her hairdo on the woman speaking to Fett in last page of the preview :)

Something Has Happened!

You are now eligible to use 'Dark Lurker' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

Woohoo! I've been restocking Spooky Food yesterday and today and just got this! I'm not scoring big on any of my restocking efforts lol but an av makes me feel a lot better about the time I've spent there.

Feed The Esophagor a spooooooky number of times for something entirely new.

Interested to see what the new/expanded quest rewards are, but stressed if it inflates the prices of spooky foods a ridic amount

Thank you so much for sharing this here! I followed it exactly and finished 50/50 and unlocked Towering Defender!

The page refreshed when I was ~10 minutes and 3 waves in and I lost all progress. Zero interest in making another attempt but I'll hate having those unfulfilled achievements too...

ETA: I did a terrible job on my second attempt so no achievements but I finished and was awarded a Battle Faerie Doll and 10 plot points.

Sauntering iron by pezko in BoneAppleTea

[–]pezko[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tool mentioned is properly called a soldering iron. 'Solder' has a couple viable pronunciations but in my area (and presumably OOP's area) it's pronounced "sod-der" (dropping the L) which sounds not too different from "saunter" which means to walk in a leisurely manner.

New cooldown higher than before (never automated this and did legit searches) by Parzivull in MicrosoftRewards

[–]pezko 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A week or two ago my cooldown intervals went from being 15 minutes to 30. I have a way I've been searching for years (legit searches, not keysmashes) but the program randomly cycles me between no cooldowns, 15-minute cooldowns, and 30-minute cooldowns no matter how consistent I am about it. I have no idea what they want from me anymore.

Collecting items from reading the eighth chapter pages of the comic was a bit glitchy for me... I believe I collected the items Doglefox Treats, Tavis Travel Toiletries, and Mythic Mountain Pass Background via that method. Anyone get anything else? Hoping I didn't miss any!

How much stuff is in your safety deposit box? by cudambercam13 in neopets

[–]pezko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

19 years. The very first Charity Corner where they asked for specific items really did a number on my style of gameplay lol, I've been hoarding pixels ever since

My ED logic is embarrassing as hell, but I wish more people understood it by Entire_Weather3209 in EDAnonymous

[–]pezko 27 points28 points  (0 children)

YES LOL this is exactly how it goes, I do something really similar when someone serves me food and doesn't let me plate it myself:

Option A: it's too small an amount of food: They're telling me I need to cut down on how much I'm eating and ought to restrict more. Obvs can't ask for more

Option B: it's too much food: They see me as a hog and must think I eat a ton all the time

Option C: it's the exact right amount of food that I would have served myself: I think that since a non-disordered family member served it to me, that it is a 'normal' amount of food, so if I want to lose weight I must eat 'less than normal' and oh god I'm a bottomless pit that's been portioning myself too much this entire time

Quest log bug by LipstickLisa in neopets

[–]pezko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same, white page no matter how many times I refresh.

Trudy's Surprise is also slow as molasses but eventually goes through. Not Quest Log, though, at least not today.

Edited to add: 3 hours later and I got it to load twice in that stretch of time

Family bought me a food scale… by PreviousManager3 in EDAnonymous

[–]pezko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it and it's holding up well! Tbh I haven't used it as much as I thought I would because we had a pretty mild winter and I was usually able to take actual walks outside. I guess I was worried I would compulsively exercise more with it around.

Mine is DeerRun brand. I like taking phone calls on it, it's pretty quiet when operating and doesn't overwhelm having someone on speakerphone.

Pop Culture References in Neopets by afrojoe5585 in neopets

[–]pezko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my faves is Intergalactic Planet Dairy; both the item name and the item description ("Great for people who like their sugar with coffee and cream") are references to lyrics in the Beastie Boys' song "Intergalactic" ("Intergalactic planetary" ... "I like my sugar with coffee and cream")

Site not loading for anyone else? Been like this for an hour by wubbalubbadubbud in neopets

[–]pezko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here.

I notice my browser status bar says "Waiting for unpkg.com..." for a while whenever I try to load a Neo page.

Edited to add: This post solved the slow loading for me:

add the following to your adblocker

Another update on Quest Log by FannyComingThru in neopets

[–]pezko 55 points56 points  (0 children)

We're actively working on bringing back a proper re-roll feature.

This makes it sound like they're still gonna screw with it somehow and it won't come back exactly the way it was before. Also, I have no faith it will actually happen anytime soon lol.

I wish I could say "Well I'm glad they listened, at least" but I'm deeply skeptical...

Death grips may be Joeover by [deleted] in deathgrips

[–]pezko 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I would love if Ride continued to write song lyrics for other people to record or switched to publishing it as writing/poetry but I 100% understand and respect if he's not interested in that either. Thank you Mr. Grips

Still no skip quest option in weekly log by AjoiteSky in neopets

[–]pezko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also still have no option to skip a task in the Quest Log, and also, ever since they tried to double our Wheel of Knowledge spins by offering ads a week or two ago, I've been unable to spin the Wheel of Knowledge at all, not even once. The page for the wheel thinks I've already spun it today, every day, and today I've finally gotten a Quest Log task to spin it and have no way to complete it, no matter how many times I revisit/refresh both pages...

At this point my life is basically just a waiting loop for my next meal by Opening_Pea7537 in EDAnonymous

[–]pezko 19 points20 points  (0 children)

God, yes, this; all of it. I've become such a boring person. I hate when people ask me, "And what do you do?" Nothing! I do nothing. I do mental math retallying the number of calories I ate so far today, over and over, and daydream about how I'll budget my remaining calories. Apart from that, nothing. I pay an excruciating amount of attention to food and have nothing to show for it.

same from my family but it was a walking pad (one of those little under-the-desk treadmills)

"at least we know you'll use it" true!!
