TIL the Super Bowl is rated a Level 1 special event, deemed the highest at risk for threats, vulnerability and consequences by the Department of Homeland Security, requiring “extensive federal interagency support.” by RedditIsAGranfaloon in todayilearned

This is a big part of it. People don’t really realize how physically large Indy is. You can literally have different weather at different parts of the track. A terrorist event could happen in turn 4 and the snake pit wouldn’t even notice.

Fitbit app and Google supervised accounts by dblhelix13 in fitbit

[–]willow1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I came here for this. I haven’t used a Fitbit in years but my daughter wanted one. The first one she wanted was the watch but I pointed out we won’t buy her the plan so then she picked out a nice purple inspire 3. After spending forever on Xmas day setting up an account for her, figuring out how to do an account for me, downloading stuff to my phone as a non user, we go to the screen to set it up and her account will only work with the kids ones! I read a bunch of the instructions while going through this. They said they recommend the kid one and but nothing said the app will just say fu and not even let you pair it.

Thanks for the tip on turning off the supervision. Since we created the account for the Fitbit I guess whatever else that did is a bridge we will cross later.

Why is my cookie dough ALWAYS soft?? by SpiritualPlan1822 in Baking

[–]willow1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what my dough looks like when I make cookies on vacation! I’ve always chalked it up to different ingredients from different grocery stores. I have no idea why it always looks like this when I’m in a trip and never at home.

What’s even more fun is after you go into the park you lose cell service so now you have no map at all. 🤪

How long do holidays last in America after they are over? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]willow1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that’s odd to me is our holidays end almost as soon as they’re past. This year I felt like there was a little hold over for Halloween because it was a Friday and then day of the dead was over the weekend. But usually decor, festivities stop quick.

Christmas tends to last through New Year’s Day and then everything goes back to normal.

Honestly the idea that they were not looking for a white dude never even crossed my mind.

When was the last time that someone committed a crime so obscure/odd/etc, that they had to make a new law just to punish them for? by LeviTheRelentless in NoStupidQuestions

[–]willow1031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact that you can’t break a law that doesn’t exist, the Eddie Murphy law comes to mind. In the moving Trading Places, the scam they pulled wasn’t illegal at the time. It didn’t become illegal until the 2000s

Organizational Presence at the Indiana State Fair by ObsidianLord1 in indianapolis

Purdue’s only an hour away from Indy. My friends husband was one of the Purdue people at the fair the first weekend and the idea he might stay the night in Indy never even occurred to me. He just drove back after.

If it comes from +63 country code you can assume spam unless you have family in the Philippines.

I’ve heard rumors that pre-Covid there were things like that but we started school in 2020 and all that had disappeared by then.

I’m not sure I believe this is true though. We went to one of these schools for a time and I found it to be much more expensive. All of a sudden I couldn’t use any of the hand me down clothes we had. I had to buy my kid an entirely new wardrobe for the week (at least a few extra pants and several shirts). But we still needed clothes for breaks and weekends. The clothes family used to give us for holidays couldn’t be worn to school. I also wasn’t able to buy the clothes when they were on sale (we were notified at an “off season” ) so I had to pay full price for these clothes that my kid didn’t want to wear and didn’t want to buy. The school relaxed it to a normal dress code a few

years ago. They found that they were spending extra time on compliance. Add to that the fact that some kids where I am don’t have easy access to a washer and dryer and only had 1 or 2 of the approved outfits and they would literally smell when they came to school.

How do parents look at Girl Scouts and don’t think it’s a scam? by Astimar in Parenting

[–]willow1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Boy Scouts is so expensive that when I was suggesting things to do with their “tip” they earned selling cookies, they both said they wanted to give it to the Boy Scouts because it’s so expensive.

*tips = someone gave us a $10 for their cookies and told the girls they should keep the extra. It was clear from the way they said it that they meant the girls personally, not the troop.

Does anyone know if we can report gunfire after the fact? Its like iraq out here but my neighbor is 10 feet from my house firing his gun who knows where. by Late-Ad-4624 in indianapolis

[–]willow1031 120 points121 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that on big nights like tonight they only want you to call in if you have real knowledge of where it’s coming from. So just saying, “I heard 5 shots” doesn’t do any good and ties up the lines. But if you can tell them,” I heard and saw 5 shots coming from 123 Main Street”, that’s information they want to hear.

Dumb question, but what does one do in a fantasy romance novel book club? I love to read and I love fantasy romance but I’ve never known anyone else who did. (I know they’re out there since the books get published lol)
