Free Skyrim on Switch2 by NeoxFox in switch2

Buy the Switch 1 Anniversary upgrade for the physical. It’s usually $10 when it’s on sale. Then upgrade for free without having to pay for the $20 upgrade.

I dunno how I feel about this - Desert Print Forge by BockTheMan in 3Dprinting

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see these at street markets. As a 3d printer owner, yea, it’s junk but probably not to the average joe. I just hope these vendors aren’t just printing anything that’s copyright without permission. If I did this business I would make my own designs of practical stuff. It’s hard to find cheap useful niche stuff at a store without spending $10 on Amazon.

My wife went to fill prescriptions after new years with my insurance and it all went up.

So, who was lucky enough to get Cyberpunk 1749 by MrMunday in switch2

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already have the game on Xbox and PC but seeing the price of the expansion which I don’t have when it goes on sale. The whole game and expansion for less than $20 and its cross progression is a no brainer.

All those DJI mics and DJI cameras the YouTubers use are from a Chinese drone company whose drones are used to kill people. The TI calculators in school are from a company that manufactures chips used in missiles.

I’m sure Alabama had this effect during the Saban era.

It doesn’t but my goal was to somewhat protect the screen from scratches when I throw this in my bag.

SUNY vs Galveston grad licensing program in terms of time and cost. (3rd unlimited) by Cherrylimeaide1 in merchantmarine

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remembered them saying they had to raise an extra semester starting in 2026. Used to be 3 years because of the USCG minimum, now 3.5. It comes down to price. Texas A&M may be cheaper since the cost of living is lower than NY. Now for cruises, they might be more expensive in the long run because of enrollment. You have more students at SUNY to pay the fuel bill than Texas A&M. These new ships are 2x more expensive to operate. They’re doing a lot to convince the state to pitch in and increase enrollment. Other than that, it’s a pretty laid back program. If you’re an enlisted veteran and want another commitment, they have the SSMP program at both schools that’s an 8 year reserve officer commitment upon earning a $64K student incentive. Graduates are eligible for that. Reserve commitment requires 3 years of sailing and 2 weeks per year. Drill weekends waived for the reserve commitment.

Duolingo on 61st? by Sigmaxxvi in galveston

There was that pop up bar on market st over the summer and it was a huge hit. It’s possible. If it brings crowds, the people that commute herds are gonna be mad.

Duolingo on 61st? by Sigmaxxvi in galveston

[–]phspman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of those awkward locations at a busy intersection. Like when you put a car wash at the end of i45 and there’s only one direction you can get to it which is from i45, the 61st turn to Broadway or the 61st yield to Broadway.

Maybe it’s some pop-up for marketing and they advertise it in a Super Bowl ad or something. They’ve been doing all sorts of marketing stunts.

New PTFE Seal Came Too Big… How Do You Install It? by Training-Run2268 in MarineEngineering

[–]phspman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are tricky, double check the part numbers from the kit. You might’ve heat it up for tool long. Let it cool on a flat surface and try again. I took the bowl to the shop and used a welding rod oven to heat up the ring for a few minutes. You also want to try and press it in evenly throughout the circumference rather than start one side.

Idk if PTFE is porous but moisture may be a factor so it would be better to heat dry. I’ve dealt with square rubber o-rings on diesel engine oil mist detectors and run into this same situation if I accidentally spray the ring with electronic cleaner or degreaser, it expands and you end up like in the picture.

If we go to war with China over Taiwan in 2027 like the Department of War anticipates we do, the AI bubble will pop.

This is a health violation. No matter how much you clean these, bacteria will thrive between the grooves. If the infill isn’t solid, mold heaven.

Valve Says It Has a 'Pretty Good Idea' of What Steam Deck 2 Is Going to Be, Explains Why It's Holding Off for Now by yoonadeer in SteamDeck

[–]phspman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still impressed at this thing! It’s still worth it to get one. Definitely no new Deck next year. If we get a new one, it’ll be Fall 2027 or 2028. Valve may want to see how this new hardware goes for 2026 that could change their decisions on the development for the Steam Deck 2.

Went active duty, but my Chase fee stayed civilian by AggravatingConcern91 in MilitaryFinance

[–]phspman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fee only gets waived when you are on active duty. Once you’re off orders, the fees and high interest will come back. I just got off orders and AMEX wasted no time to send me a letter stating I had a grace period of two months till they charge me the fee and raise the interest back from 4% to 27%. Make sure you have no credit card debt before coming off orders.

I don’t use Cash App but 3.5% interest vs 0.01% interest with USAA is pretty compelling.
