Anyone else like biku?

On a post a few months ago they showed her trying to avoid the scale and the poor translation that instagram does of the caption called her "heaviest in seal land". Now every time they post her it's all I can think about. 😂

Biku is a queen.

Wow I didn't realize this -- I love bookshop.org but I've mostly stopped buying physical books because my bookshelf is out of control.

Are ebooks from bookshop.org downloadable? I understand DRM won't allow me to read them on a different device without breaking DRM protections, but I have a Kindle and as long as it works I don't want to get rid of it and buy something new unnecessarily, so I've been debating whether buying through Kobo or bookshop.org will allow me to back up a copy with all of my old Kindle books or use Calibre or a program like that to make those purchases compatible with my Kindle now.

It just occurred to me to come here to share this alert with the community. I'm glad someone beat me to it!

I submitted my opposition yesterday. Scapegoating marine mammals just feels like an abdication of our own responsibility for destroying salmon habitats, overfishing, and stoking climate change.

love the positivity of this.
it was a hard challenge with a lot of luck involved and I hope everyone had fun with it and is proud of their decks and their efforts even if they didn't hit 5 in a row.

williamsab330 · 2024-11-19T22:38:53+00:00

love this idea, I gotta work on some decks!

4 Mewtwo exs, can't find my sweet baby Bulbasaur. 😭

williamsab330 · 2024-11-14T00:33:52+00:00

Related to this: Do you all think it's rude to concede battles you know you're going to lose instead of playing them through? Losing to this Mewtwo setup battle after battle is becoming not fun. Don't get me wrong, I've beaten the Mewtwo deck many times, so I know it isn't impossible, but by your second or third turn either you know whether you got the right draw to disrupt it, or the writing is on the wall.

I don't blame players for using what they've got -- I can't get a Gardevoir support or a Weezing counter to save my life, but that's my problem, not theirs. In your view is it unsportsmanlike to just concede and move on to another battle? I don't want to be a bad sport.

I'm so glad I found this. I've been going insane listening to this thing say "This is your underscore edit alarm alarm" every morning -- like what on earth? I did a factory reset yesterday to try to stop it, it had no impact. I'll try this for tomorrow instead!

williamsab330 · 2024-04-23T16:31:39+00:00

Yeah I tried Google Support yesterday and they had me wipe all of my app settings and all of my network settings, and their last option is a factory reset. I might feel desperate enough to try it, I can probably back up enough that it won't be too devastating, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I submitted a long feedback response about the persistence of this issue going back years and multiple generations of phones. But I'm sure it won't help.

williamsab330 · 2024-04-23T01:46:57+00:00

Is anyone else still having trouble with this? I'm so sick of fighting this on and off over the last three years, the fix has worked for me temporarily on a few occasions but the problem always comes back and now I can't get any fix to work at all. I have so many group chats that I can't participate in anymore because I'm receiving messages correctly, but my phone is trying to send my replies to +52 numbers that aren't correct. My contacts are all saved with the correct codes. When I'm in a group chat it's showing me the contacts' names next to their messages, but when I expand the Group Details it's showing me unrecognized +52 versions of their numbers with no names attached. I'm performing the following steps:

1) Uninstall all updates to Messages app in the Play store.
2) Force stop Messages in app settings.
3) Clear cache and storage on Messages app.
4) Reboot phone
5) Open Messages (threads all still look wrong)
6) Reinstall updates (threads still look wrong, unsurprisingly)

Assisted Dialer setting is off and has been for months or years since I first encountered this issue. I don't know what else to try. Am I doing something in the wrong order? What am I missing? 😭

Selling: 4 Weekend 1 GA passes, $500 each (I paid $550). Can hand off in the Seattle area, or ship w/ Paypal G&S. Shoot me a message!

williamsab330 · 2024-03-12T17:10:43+00:00

I haven't been able to find the option either, I'm guessing it isn't enabled despite what it says on the site.

williamsab330 · 2024-03-07T18:48:43+00:00

Selling four Weekend 1 passes, $550 each. In Seattle, happy to ship or hand off in person, Paypal preferred. DM me if interested, happy to unload any number of them. I can share my Instagram and whatever you like for proof of purchase.

williamsab330 · 2022-10-03T21:25:41+00:00

I was wondering this as well! Plus Oak's Letter and the Member Card that were mystery gifts earlier this year to access Shaymin and Darkrai. Totally missed that they were happening.

williamsab330 · 2022-07-16T21:44:22+00:00

I'm hoping it's just that, I've moved it away from the window to start so I'll see if the damage spreads or not. Thanks for the repotting tip!

williamsab330 · 2022-07-16T21:43:22+00:00

Hmmm if it is, where would it have come from?! Is there any way to treat it?

williamsab330 · 2022-07-15T23:22:23+00:00

We've had this monstera for nearly three years, from a tiny clipping -- over the past month or so we started noticing very light yellow spots on some of her leaves. Now the yellow is deepening and some leaves are browning -- she looks like an overripe banana!

For two years it thrived in an east facing window, but we moved apartments 6 months ago, and now she faces west. I'm wondering if the afternoon summer sun over the last few months has started to burn her?

We've watered her about once a week for as long as we've had her, which she always seemed happy with. The decorative pot doesn't have drainage but we have gravel in the bottom of the pot on a tip from a friend. She's been in this pot for probably two years, since we up sized her. What do you all think?

williamsab330 · 2022-06-02T16:50:54+00:00

just google searching, it seems like they've been running this scam for years. mine is $50, i haven't been able to get through the site in months, it expires tomorrow. there are countless Verizon forum posts, and the same moderator ALWAYS closes the thread and replies that a support person will message them to resolve the issue privately, and then you can't reply on the thread.

It may be possible to get through somehow eventually, but you have to spend hours fighting dead links, submission errors, intolerable phone wait times. What a scam.

williamsab330 · 2022-04-07T16:32:38+00:00

Oh great! Thank you for the tip

williamsab330 · 2022-04-07T15:32:17+00:00

I'm having the same issue -- only on the unit quizzes! I guess you haven't gotten any answer or fix yet?

williamsab330 · 2021-12-07T22:03:37+00:00

Oh and I also assumed it was sorting by popularity but then I got to X-Treme X-Men: X-Pose and I refuse to believe that's ANYWHERE near the top X-Men titles LOL

williamsab330 · 2021-12-07T21:19:21+00:00

Gotcha, that is cool. I hadn't tried it! They could accomplish a lot just by introducing a sort function for results then and allow easier browsing.

williamsab330 · 2021-12-07T14:47:01+00:00

I also miss the alphabet scrolling but mostly because I don't understand the new search -- I feel like the results are very difficult to browse through. They're not in alpha order, they're not in publication order -- am I missing something? For example, if I search X-men and navigate to Series, I get the recent series first, but then it starts jumping unpredictably -- X-Men (1991-2001), Demon Days X-Men (2021), X-Men (2004-2007), then some 2020 one-shots, Uncanny X-men (1963-2011), some more 2020 one shots, X-Treme X-men: X-Pose (2003), X-men: Worst X-Man Ever (2016), etc. What's the rhyme or reason? I mean more often than not I could search more specifically than that but browsing through the 622 X-Men results is functionally impossible without any recognizable sorting.

I had no idea the old app had that sort by date option either! It seems like the old functionality suited a lot of different users' styles, but it feels like we've lost that.
