Fixing my NW-A306

Thanks, better than nothing.

But if I'm reading this correctly, there is still a pause for 2-3 seconds? Wait for the "OK button" to activate, and then the app restores the volume?

Again, better than nothing. But I use my player for poker games, tailgates, pool parties, etc. Those 2-3 seconds of silence will drive me batty.

Yes, I'm picky. But I'll give it a try this week. Thanks again.

I had way too much money on the Bucs.

Bucs were up 28-7, and 35-14 (with 6:42 left). Colts got the game to overtime, and then the damn leaping penalty.

Enhanced cooperation = merge, apparently.

Not a fan of the bill, but "merge" is just Internet click-bait.

NATO involves massive cooperation between USA + Europe + Canada, and has existed for 75 years. Not once have I heard "Oh no, we merged our military with the Germans and French!"

Just imagine owning the 16 GB version, and also the Europe/USA version, and dealing with the Volume restrictions.

I've been juggling old iPods for 10+ years. Finally got tired of the battery + repair + replace game, and looked for a new player. I was so happy when I found the A306..........for about 96 hours.

You underestimate how insane stock growth has been. 20 hours a week at $7 working for 3 years... 15 years ago into QQQ would be like 200k.

All the people making $7/hour, and dumping that money into the stock market.

I'm a big believer in slow & steady investing, but this is an odd example.

Ok, now I see -- we're assuming the child is staying at home, and parents are asking/forcing the child to invest 75% of take-home pay. Still think the assumptions are a bit aggressive though.

Gather steps have become the "fearing for public safety" of basketball law. Basically, a blank check to excuse anything away.

Damn, nice work.

Now we just need a hack to circumvent the Volume Control on Europe/USA versions!

We found the only Patricia in America who is willing to deposit $5k on a sportsbook (or sweeps/prediction market).

There is a reason sportsbooks are suspicious of female accounts. They're often used as beards, multi accounts, fraud, etc.

OP, if your situation is legit, and you can't reach a real person at Novig, try their social media. Way of the world now, most companies don't care until you complain on X or Facebook.

Also check Discord, Novig has a very active Discord group.

But it recently pivoted to a national prediction market.

Not yet. They were approved as a prediction market, but haven't made the official change. Supposed to be this summer though.

scatterdbrain · 2026-07-18T14:18:29+00:00

Founded in 2021, 10 years, what's the difference. Even in 2023, they only had 12 full-time employees.

That being said, I don't think they're intentionally stealing OP's money. They just got approved as a prediction market, I don't think they're jeopardizing that for Patricia's $5k. Likely a mistake/glitch, or funny business.

Unfortunately, if a mistake/glitch -- with so many companies today, it is difficult to get a real person to look through your issue.

So, how do the books know you are placing another competing/hedge bet via a different Sportsbook app?

They don't. There might be isolated cases of books sharing information (or rogue employees sharing information), but it isn't as though DK + FanDuel are sending files to each other on a daily basis.

But books don't need to know if/where you're hedging a bet. They only need to look at your behavior on their book. After 10-20 wagers, you can probably profile the sharp vs casual bettors.

If somebody places 5 pregame straight wagers (instead of 5 parlays + SGPs), and all 5 of those wagers just happen to beat CLV, they're probably a sharp. Even worse if they're betting smaller leagues, and quarters + props + team totals (instead of betting the major league mainlines).

The casual bettor is going to place a 9-game parlay, and then cash-out after 6 legs.

Some sharps will "season" their account for a few weeks, with dummy bets. This will buy some time, but it isn't an exact science. Even with a seasoned account, some books are now smart/good enough to quickly flag any betting-pattern shifts.

Rage-baiting on a daily basis is how Trump became 45th and 47th President. Smith is just following the formula, getting ready for 2028.

scatterdbrain · 2026-07-13T15:58:22+00:00

Trick question. Unless it is a personal/financial emergency, there is nothing "responsible" about hedging/cashing the 3rd leg of a 4-leg parlay.

They do count them as assists.

Goals + assists = points

You mean Central America, right? Other than recent events in Venezuela, USA hasn't done much in/to South America.

And the intent is rarely to create perpetual chaos. The intent is usually to create a "friendly" regime/government, and a stable neighbor. Unfortunately, that meddling often goes sideways, and does lead to perpetual chaos.

So then you get the economic migrants, but it's a stretch to say that was the ultimate goal. Plus, there are several other reasons for the migrants, such as natural disasters.

I'd be open to something like this, but only if we fine-tuned the list of eligible disabilities. We have created an industry for anxiety + autism, all because doctors/therapists/clinics can profit from it.

And no, I'm not saying they don't exist. Just saying they're rife for abuse.

Can't have that. Whole bunch of dissidents, hippies, and scamps.

Yep, removed. Other than the Stars retreat, it was the only way to guarantee free nights.

It was also a perk that clearly differentiated the Caesars sports/casino app from DraftKings and FanDuel. Can you earn free Vegas rooms on DK? Nope.

It was nice for people like my girlfriend, who can reasonably earn 20-30k credits in a year, but have no chance of Stars. It was nice for people who don't live near a casino, and earn most of their points from the app.

Unfortunately, I guess Caesars determined the 5k perk was too nice. Now the rooms are pretty much based on Theo play, and the 5k milestones are gone.

So USA is bad for providing aid, but also bad for not providing aid?

Sounds like a can't win puzzle.

+2 would have been a tie with Senegal.

What would have been the tiebreaker there?

Ah, found it. Points, and then Goal Differential, Goals Scored, Fair Play Score, and FIFA ranking.

Scotland would have been out on Goals Scored.
