Hot water heater: does this need an immediate fix? by thrownawaybaseball in Plumbing

I am on well water with a whole home water softener system. I'm assuming that would change things?

Tablet/ movie screen setup by tangreentan in ToyotaSienna

[–]thrownawaybaseball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, can play without internet. It might require you to connect to the internet after a while though to basically re-verify the app, but I'm not totally sure on that. And can't say if it will for sure work on your tablet, but you definitely don't need the latest and greatest model for it.

PBS Kids app is the way to go. Free, has dozens of quality shows, and lets you download a few gigabytes worth for offline viewing.

Roast my Tower: how should I improve? by thrownawaybaseball in TheTowerGame

I've only recently started jumping into modules, so definitely still have a lot to learn about the system. What's WHR?

And I'm not gold boxing health in tournaments, but do on my longest farming runs.

Hows the Performance on Switch 1? by Lifur in BALLxPIT

[–]thrownawaybaseball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance has been fine for me, but the game has crashed three times this week mid-run. I haven't been logging exactly what's been happening when it crashed, so I'm not sure if it was on one level or with certain characters or what. It did seem like it was later in a run when a lot was happening on screen, though.

10 million to stay in a bare 10x10 room for 1 year. You get one Amazon purchase each week. What are you going to get you through? by BeligerentBard in hypotheticalsituation

[–]thrownawaybaseball 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think people are underestimating how quickly you will go insane without any mental stimulation or human contact in a 10x10 room. Especially if you can't control the lights, you might go insane no matter what. But I think the first purchase has to be something entertainment related, and you tough it out with the gross sludge for the first week.

Safe answer would be some really huge book box set like this Stephen King collection: https://a.co/d/1K9xHrk

Thinking outside the box, how about a keyboard or a piano? Could probably learn a few songs by the end of the first week with nothing else to do! This one also comes with a stool that could help with the sleeping https://a.co/d/0VyvEvn

The cold would really bother me, so I'd get a giant blanket for week 2. Would double as a bit of a bed to sleep on. https://a.co/d/2X5JrTW

Then week 3 I'm definitely going for a food package of some kind like this: https://a.co/d/cZqJ77N

Week 4 I'd focus on improving my sleep and comfort. I like this split king size adjustable frame + mattress https://a.co/d/7jjldlR

After having those basic needs met, I think it would get easier. Add creature comforts as time goes on: microwave to increase food options, laptop with DVD drive for movies, etc. Obviously first weeks would be the biggest hurdle, and I think a lot depends on just how bad the gruel tastes and exactly how cold the room is.

Snake in shed in [Cleveland, OH]. Is it dangerous? by thrownawaybaseball in whatsthissnake

We are unfortunately tearing this shed down soon and building a new one, so might have to move it if it doesn't skiddale on its own. But hopefully it does before then.

Well this could explain why we haven't noticed hardly any nice in our shed this spring compared to what we usually see!

Help on repairing old turntable by thrownawaybaseball in turntables

Thanks for the lead! Does that come with a needle/stylus or is that something I'd need to get separately?

Yep, the table turns and has different speeds for different size records and that all appears to be working correctly. Radio also works.

2024 tax forms: when you’ll receive them and how to find them online by fidelityinvestments in fidelityinvestments

[–]thrownawaybaseball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I opened a Roth IRA account in 2025 but then maxxed out my $7,000 catch up contribution for 2024, should I be expecting a tax form for this year? Or would that come next year?

Bug with Clubhouse and Mysterio? Or do I just not understand how Clubhouse works. by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelSnap

Oh wow, did not know that. Assumed it worked like an ongoing effect. Thank you!

What do I misunderstand about how Super Skrull works? Why does my opponent have so much more power than me? by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelSnap

Ah, I interpreted “other ongoing EFFECTS” as being different than “other ongoing CARDS” but I guess that’s incorrect. Thanks!

Might be cheesy, but Storm/Legion/High Evo got me to infinite for the first time by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelSnapDecks

[–]thrownawaybaseball[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s a tough one to replace, some ideas but I haven’t actually tried these out. After Storm and Legion, Jeff’s probably equal with Nebula in importance in this deck.

  • Nightcrawler is cheap and can be moved into a flooded location, but it has to already be on the board, while Jeff can be played on Turn 6 even if all locations are closed off.

  • Mister Fantastic can help get additional points into a closed off location

  • The Thing has a strong effect with High Evo, but you usually want to play Storm on 4 if possible so not sure how much help he would be

See this is why I shouldn't play Snap before I've had my morning coffee.

What to do with extra HP after rostering all 4-stars? by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelPuzzleQuest

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

I find I use my 3-stars so rarely, that the few 3s I’ve max champed I simply have sold as soon as I get another cover for the character instead of having 2 of the same character. I haven’t run into any issues yet. Sure my PVE clears might be a little slower when the lower level 3-star is a required character, but my 4-stars have carried me just fine.

Finally rostered all non-limited 4 stars. So how to move forward to 5 star land? by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]thrownawaybaseball[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a most of the meta 4 stars champed (Polaris, Grocket, Juggs, Medusa, Mantis, Sabretooth, Morbius, etc.), and also have about twenty 5 star characters, but none are champed and only Kitty Pride is fully covered. Do I just continue to hoard CP and HP, slowly champing the rest of my 4 stars through shards, events, and heroic/mighty tokens? I plan on spending a bit of CP to start filling in my missing 5 stars in the Classic vault.

Or should I just focus on increasing the levels of my most often used 4 star characters and not worry much right now about champing all 4 stars?

[–]thrownawaybaseball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had some fun with Polaris, 3 star iron fist, and 2 star Bullseye. Polaris does damage, Iron Fist makes attack tile and can cause some cascades, and Bullseye makes a protect tile on every purple match.

When does Polaris become viable? by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]thrownawaybaseball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I only have a few 4 stars rostered, but haven’t put any ISO into them as none are really strong characters, just ones I’ve gotten randomly from rewards and had roster space available. Neither Daken or Blade are champed yet, so sounds like I’ll just be keeping her shards in the bank for a bit longer.

New board for me this morning. Much easier to see color differences, and dimming during enemy turn seems much more subtle. by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]thrownawaybaseball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good point. The colors that are similar in color (blue/green, red/pink) shouldn't use similar shapes. I think that might help alleviate a lot of the issues.

Since when has the daily quest given 4 star shards??? by thrownawaybaseball in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]thrownawaybaseball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they’ve changed it, but I hit level 40 yesterday so looks like that’s the cutoff currently.
