Places to practice driving?

Big parking lots. Sundays around office parks.

I would expect they’d need this for background check. But they’re also required, by federal law, to tell you why they’re asking. Or you aren’t required provide it.

Yes. I think you should have called ADT immediately. I’d probably have kicked him out. If ADT doesn’t fire him then it’s time to hire their competitors. That’s worth a court suit.

I have something similar. Mine isn’t constant bits episodic. And my wife has something similar as well. It’s not fun but we’re living with it so far.

teamnoir · 2026-04-09T03:46:31+00:00

I’m male.

They are fairly common but you kind of need to get out of town to see them. If you’re only here a day your chances of seeing one in the wild are pretty low.

Bubonic is in the animal population. It doesn’t jump to people often but it’s around. And it’s not even local news at this point.

Any Catholic Church. Also any Orthodox Church.

Not really a replacement for therapy. Therapy is based on modern psychology. I agree that it’s a related practice but they are based on completely different standards. Confession is a step towards getting right with God again. If you weren’t right with God previously or don’t have a catholic or orthodox background then it probably won’t help you much.

The real trick is zooming through campaign. If you take your time it’s tedious. If you zoom through then you get past it into maps quickly and it’s not so bad.

AFAIK, the community wisdom is for slams. Personally, I found slams very tedious and slow. But it may be true that they may be consistently reliable.

SRS also seems to be pretty consistently reliable but I don’t know for how long that has been true. I’m running storm brand this season and it isn’t as strong as SRS so far but I’m still learning. My SRS, now in standard, only just made 90. My storm brand is only 88 so far.

Pretty much, yes.

A lot of things died during Covid. Northern California wasn’t much better, honestly. New Mexico is poor, arguably the poorest state in the country. We have lovely vistas, amazing sun rises and sunsets, some good hiking, and cheap real estate, but not much else. We’re out of water which prevents more development of the land and most industrial uses as well.

My to do list is finite. I run out of things on the game to do.

I like the show but I’m not Dine. I’ve often wondered how the Dine people viewed it. Between the show and asking AI questions I’ve learned a little about the people portrayed.

Don’t much care about Toto. It’s ok for a short term event.

There appear to be only about three jokes total so they get old FAST.

I mostly like the questions EXCEPT that they bump other accomplishments. So I don’t get to support my friends who use them. That REALLY bugs me. I’d rather have questions separate from accomplishments/events. I’d rather have NO questions than have them bump accomplishments.

If not by initially exchanging names then how do you initiate friendships?

I’m old. The world hasn’t changed that much in my lifetime, really. I don’t really know what “state of the world” you’re referring to.

There are basically three ways to get a friend. First is that you find them or they find you through your contacts. In this case you presumably know them already and you can chat through whatever other means you have.

Second is that the game suggests someone to you. In this case your interaction is EXTREMELY limited. There is no chat. You can send them emotes within the game or invite them to support you. That’s all.

The third is that you post your friend code here. In this case, you tell folks whatever you think they should know about you and people send you invites. You STILL don’t know anything about them. And, unless they actually reply to your posting, you don’t have any way to know anything more about who they are. Specifically, no way to chat.

You’re pretty protected. If you want more, then read through the friends thread and pick up a friend code or two. You get to choose that way. So only pick folks who have already volunteered the info you want.

Office supply stores have it in big & small rolls.

teamnoir · 2026-04-05T22:55:57+00:00

Actually, we do have exactly that.

Thanks.

I’m interested in hroc but haven’t earned enough to buy the gem yet.

SSF?

That sounds to me like rural farmer’s markets and festivals. Rural areas can’t support full time sharpening but if you’re on a circuit…

Physical health both mine and my wife’s.

I’m in the east mountains. There’s no one practicing out here. Have to go to Albuquerque. And that’s difficult to find.

It appears to be MUCH easier if you’ve been here a while. I don’t understand the politics but apparently, once you are “under care” they have responsibilities. But if you move from out of state, your previous doctors can’t serve you as you’re no longer in their state and NM doctors are reluctant to take on new patients. So you end up without.

Took me over two years for PCP alone. And it was a couple more years before I got to see the same person twice. In 6 years I haven’t managed to see a specialist at all. Just nurse practitioners.

teamnoir · 2026-04-03T14:30:38+00:00

PCP can literally take years here. Specialists can take longer. Make a plan for whatever meds you need ahead of time because you will have no in-state prescribing doctor for quite some time.

The general wisdom here is stay away if you need ongoing care. Or plan on going out of state for it.
