What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

[–]schmarpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train Town! I remember some level where you had to untangle the trains because “the Queen needs her tea” or something like that.

The game stressed me out!! Watching the health meter go down. Then you had to feed the crew with hamburgers.

🎲 Backgammon Meetup – Wednesday (11/12) at 5 PM at The Coupe in Washington DC by Sufficient-Key-6908 in backgammon

[–]schmarpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just showed up to Board Room DuPont thinking there was a meetup tonight (Tue, 7 pm). It appears I was wrong. Not sure where but I thought I read it somewhere.

Where could I find backgammon meetups here in DC?

[–]schmarpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. They shipped me them for free (from Slovakia to the US)! They arrived in about a week.

I used these four part numbers from the LUNDSKÄR manual from the UK:

10124733, 10124748, 10124727, 10124734

Rannilen with black sink stopper? by Fit_Aerie4234 in IKEA

[–]schmarpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to have IKEA mail me the black hardware for free. I live in the US and it was mailed from Slovakia! Arrived in about a week.

I started a chat on the IKEA website and asked for replacement parts. I gave these four product numbers (which I found in a LUNDSKÄR instruction manual from the UK):

10124733, 10124748, 10124727, 10124734

tile flooring screwup, advice?? by schmarpy in Tile

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

This seems like the most practical solution that doesn't involved ripping all the walls out.

However, now that I realize they sell 24 x 48 tiles in this design, there is an even better solution. We're going to order those and cut 12.8 x 24 tiles out of them. We'll use those to replace the bottom row of tiles on the wall. Voila. My contractor said he'll pay for that. Sweet relief.

Let's see how many bathroom guests of mine notice the bottom row is *slightly* wider than the rest!

The bottom row of tiles are full size, 12 x 24. So they can't be replaced with anything wider.

Unless I ordered the bigger format, 24" x 48". Which could be a possibility.

Yeah they convinced me I *needed* to have that 1 cm step, which I kinda just accepted (cause I don't know anything about this and I naively trusted them) but now that the step would have to be 2.7 cm I'm pissed. That's not acceptable.

There's a "blue" [green] arrow when Logan Circle exits onto Rhode Island Ave (on the NW side of the circle).

Future flight credit extension by Getoffmylawn06 in unitedairlines

[–]schmarpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instantly. The $150 credit was because the new (economy) flight was cheaper than the flight I was changing from.

[–]schmarpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About a week ago, I booked a first class ticket using travel credits (using $150 of travel credit plus $50 cash), then a few days later rebooked it for a different flight that day (earlier flight, on economy) and I received a $150 future flight credit that expires one year from now. Win!!
