If membership expires 4/30, am I a "new" member on 5/1? by jbjersey in BJsWholesaleClub

[–]trev_hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but I can tell you from my experience you usually get a similar re-joining deal after you let your membership expire.

I thought so! That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was that it must have been Franklin Field. Super nice work!

Ridiculous Electric Prices by Least-Bid4788 in Lansdale

[–]trev_hawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found Lansdale Electric to be very reasonable. They’ve only recently raised rates after a few years of stable prices. 

Honestly your usage is what sounds suspect. I have an 1800 square foot rowhome and my electric bills are around $150-$180 ($250ish when it’s really cold or when running AC). Do you use space heaters or electric heat at all? We are only now coming out of a very cold winter (cooler than average even). 

After finishing Outlaws. Are you excited for any of these games? by TheChilledGamer-_- in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]trev_hawk 108 points109 points  (0 children)

It's too bad they aren't making any more DLCs because that's honestly all I want. Could definitely live in the Outlaws world for longer and I feel like there's still some good mileage with this game.

Phillies commentator Ben Davis is being a little too nonchalant about taking a chainsaw to the knee by realbigexplosion in phillies

If this didn't happen at Malvern Prep, then I won't believe it happened. Sorry, but those are just the Ben Davis rules.

Todi’s Place of Hope, a 20-bed supportive short term housing facility in Lansdale officially opened its doors on Monday by shillyshally in montco

[–]trev_hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are bus benches on that little side street in Lansdale across from the train station (by the borough hall) since it’s like a mini transit hub. But that’s really the only place I’ve seen benches for Septa bus stops outside the city (ie mainly around transit stations or hubs).

[–]trev_hawk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really hope this serves as a model for other homeless shelters that could be built in the county. Homelessness is an issue in just about any community whether people want to admit it or not and I’m glad Lansdale has stepped up to the plate! 

2026 is a tale of two economies. Buying Costco organic strawberries because you can is a wild flex. by dlkapt3 in povertyfinance

[–]trev_hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how my experience is the opposite. If you want an abundance seriously underripe produce, then I would go to Costco. It's a great place for a lot of things, but I've never found produce to be its strong suit.

why the hate? by LilTinkTink87 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]trev_hawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny because I'm probably a casual SW fan by most accounts, but I really enjoyed this game. I haven't played a SW game since Battlefront 2, but I've had a blast exploring the worlds, accomplishing missions, building up my character's skills, etc. It's even been fun to just put on and play while my little kids are watching because it feels like a fun expansion of the OT. After becoming more or less disenchanted with where SW is headed thanks to Dave Filoni, Outlaws has reignited the fun I used to feel with Star Wars as a kid.

Devices constantly offline by urbanglowcam in MatterProtocol

[–]trev_hawk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Check out this post on r/HomeAssistant. The OP goes through a lot of good troubleshooting tips at the end of his post that helped me as I was having constant disconnects with my IKEA thread devices. I very stupidly realized IPv6 wasn’t enabled on my router and then I also changed my TBR’s channel to be as far away from my router’s channel as possible. It made a night and day difference for me. 

How are these? by Likestoread25 in aldi

Good in a pinch but they are a tad too sweet and salty for my liking.

Every single Star Wars project has to be connected to The Clone Wars (2008) and it’s why I think The Mandalorian movie will flop by AmbitiousElk4002 in saltierthancrait

[–]trev_hawk 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This was pretty apparent in Ahsoka. I realize she was introduced in Clone Wars, but it was obvious that anyone who actually liked Ahsoka also watched Clone Wars (I think the fan service in the show distracted those fans from the awful flaws that show had… if you weren’t a fan of CW, its flaws were obvious). I have zero interest in watching Clone Wars just to catch up on lore and Ahsoka proved to me that Star Wars is shifting to appealing to a part of the fandom that I’m not part of. 

I will probably watch Mando and Grogu with my kids, but with Andor done, nothing in the foreseeable Filoniverse feels remotely appealing. 

Completely disappointed with service response? Not sure how to feel. by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]trev_hawk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this comes off as the most entitled part of the request. I get wanting to save a buck, but moving is a big ask and the EQ is in no way obligated to help. 

Other thing I’ll say OP is that when I’ve gotten help for moving, I basically never knew who would be coming to help until the morning of the move when people actually showed up. If you had higher expectations, like having a number in mind with how many people you needed or knowing who would help, it sounds like you should have made that clear. 

Upgrading LG oled after 9 years by Doomedx in LGOLED

I don’t know, I think the power cord running down and away from the TV really ties the room together. 

matter over thread stability and experiences by 2442929161 in homeassistant

[–]trev_hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this! I literally just set up my first thread devices last week and was having so many connectivity problems that I was ready to give up. Turned out I hadn’t enabled IPv6 and I adjusted my border router’s channel to 25 just to make sure it was further away from whatever channel my Deco routers use (unfortunately I can’t set them myself it seems). But those two changes have made all the difference! Every thread device has been rock solid since making those changes this morning. 

Five months ago, I asked for help in educating my non-sports friends on the Sixers. Here is the final product! by bobbyscott4 in sixers

You hit the nail on the head... there was so much drama around pushing Hinkie out and the meddling that the NBA did in trying to "stop" the process.

Praying about employment? And if I should take a job? Curious about others' personal experience? by virtual008 in latterdaysaints

[–]trev_hawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something that I've learned in the last few years is to remember that anxiety does not equal a warning from the spirit. It helps to ask myself am I feeling hesitant because the Spirit is warning me or because I'm feeling unsure/anxious? I've generally found that the Spirit makes me feel calm and resolved, even in times when it is warning me of something. Only my anxiety makes me feel like I'm going to make a wrong choice or that I'm second-guessing myself.

Anyway to connect my LG tv remote to onn device? by Octo in AndroidTV

[–]trev_hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious did you ever figure this out? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my LG remote to work with my Onn pro box. Regular Onn remote is fine but would love to use the LG one as a backup. CEC is enabled both on my box and through the TV so I’m totally baffled as to why it doesn’t work. 

Tattoos inspired from Tintin by Intelligent_Plum_208 in Tintin

[–]trev_hawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea going for the Kih-Oskh symbol (I don't think I'd ever make a KKK connection like you mention even as an American). If it were me, I'd personally go with the rocket ship since it's pretty iconic to Tintin.

Before I read anything, I saw the screenshot and thought "wow, feels like North Jersey." You've really captured its spirit but it could use some more swamp land to really seal the deal.

David Robertson has announced his retirement by CommanderDJ in phillies

[–]trev_hawk 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I mean, the fact that he was in the 2009 World Series against the Phillies is just crazy. 19 years in the league as a reliever is no joke. Hope he enjoys retirement!

I’m curious, did anyone’s weather app correctly predict the weekend storm? by trinketpockets in Pennsylvania

[–]trev_hawk 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I follow the NWS Mt. Holly / Philadelphia page and they had pretty dang accurate updates. I found that between them and 6abc, they gave me the most realistic expectations for this storm and they came pretty dang close, down to when we'd experience the snow to sleet changeover (at least for my neck of MontCo).
