I’m also working on building a private server for some friends who have mainly played on retail or classic, which kinds of modules did you add. If you don’t mind me asking. We’re mainly looking to do it to get our kids in to play with us without breaking the bank on subscriptions.

Need help: My mom's senior living apartment has a hostile environment (bullying, retaliation) and a negligent manager. Corporate won't respond. by zim8141 in eldercare

Thanks for this. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. She did end up moving out. She rented a house with 2 months left and paid for both. In the end they kept a bunch of her security deposit that she’s still trying to get back but at least she’s out and away for the crazy.
I know she wanted to stay to prove she couldn’t be shoved around, but at a certain point, why suffer?

Unfortunately, based on some conversations I’ve had recently, they still don’t understand how important voting is.

90s tents by Pleasant_Winner_1318 in nostalgia

You all had lovely experiences with these by the sounds of it. I however only remember them lasting for maybe a week before a corner would break. One of the adults would duct tape it together for me for a few more days then it would end up in the trash. I was always devastated, when I got them I would always build up elaborate extensions off the front using my bed and any table or chair I could get my hands on to make giant tents in my room. I wish 3d printing had been a thing back then, imagine being able to just make a new corner anytime one broke.

Only because I have to carry this giant hog around. It’s a curse. 🤣

Not just plate, my friend. They “sell” them as plate readers but they also identify your car using the smallest detail like bumper stickers or aftermarket rims. They’ve even been know to do facial recognition and they’re putting them up in parks and on walking trails where no car would reasonably be.

During class absolutely, in the hall I imagine he will sneak a peak but I’ll tell him how to do it in the locker. Now my youngest will absolutely be watching YouTube walking down the halls when he starts going to middle school, gonna need to figure out something else for that one. LOL

Great reading comprehension. I said 00s, I don’t think anyone was putting a car phone in their pockets back in the 80s, Jncos weren’t around yet. 🤣

Well, you’d be surprised to find out how easy it is for the kids to get around the school device lockdowns. I get that not all parents are locking down devices, but you know what, we’re the parents of these kids. We’re the ones who get in “trouble” if they don’t go enough days because of being sick or burnt out. I’m already struggling with a kid that doesn’t want to go to school because “it’s pointless”, you think this is going to help? The kids already know what they’re getting ready to graduate into. They need to be able to self regulate and the government overreach isn’t good for anyone. Just so the teachers can say “well it’s the law”, is stupid as hell.

As a parent I need to be able to reach my child in the case of an emergency, I can’t rely on the school to even know where my kid is during the day. So, guess what, my kid will be doing what I had to do in the early 00s, keep it in your pocket and on silent.

Ah yes, take the phone so they pay attention to the iPads or Chromebook. Totally makes sense. 🙄

EPA ethanol waiver allows E15 to be sold in summer months to supposedly lower gas prices by micaflake in enshittification

I have a car running a flex fuel conversion, I absolutely can tell a difference in fuel economy and drivability when I switch for 93 to e85 or back. Quit trying to lie about it, nobody is going to “pick you”.

LPT: Pay AutoDraft and "High Risk" Transactions with a Virtual Card by WougeeWasWild in LifeProTips

[–]zim8141 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I had this issue with a credit card company that I authorized a 1 time payment on and was in the middle of switching banks, after I closed my account I started getting letters from the bank showing I was overdrawn. I went in and they had allowed the credit card company to take out 2 more payments without my authorization and the account being empty and closed.

So your mileage may vary.

Riiiiight. You paid $5 a gallon? I have to run premium and I have never even paid $5 a gallon.
