Would love to hear recommendations on brands people use

A stronger spring isnt always the answer for your foam blasters to hit harder. Sometimes you can get away with adding a spacer or, depending on the blaster, increasing the length of your barrel. If you go the spacer route, don’t leave it in permanently or you could warp your spring.

Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

Someone shared the phrase “The time will pass anyway” with me back when I was working on getting healthier. It was a constant reminder that there was no “best” day to start my journey and that anytime I was set back, I could pick things back up right away.

This person better hurry. I’m almost out of Total cereal and I need to know if I should restock.

Totally agree! It’s seemingly gotten worse recently too. My phone is 5 years old and I was still able to replace the battery at home but it took special tools and a hair dryer. The newest Pixels and Galaxy phones look impossible to do with my current skillset.

Things like Fairphone and the HMD Skyline should be the norm going forward.

There’s a rule coming into effect in 2027 that enforces user replaceable batteries for devices in the EU. https://www.pcmag.com/news/eu-smartphones-must-have-user-replaceable-batteries-by-2027

This year wasn’t great for MTG. Modern Horizons 3 warped multiple formats and most of standard was just magic characters in silly hats. The thing that pushed it over the edge for me was the commander fiasco. Everything about that situation from the rules committee making unhealthy decisions, Hasbro taking control and the fan base sending death threats crushed my will to keep going after playing for the last 15 years. Haven’t bought a card since.

Bloomburrow was pretty cool though. Wish we had blocks again so we could have spent more time there. Foundations seems interesting but I can’t bring myself to give Hasbro any more of my money.

Hopefully they avoid the pitfalls of creating something that people don’t realize is a new generation like the issue they ran into with Wii/Wii U

My weight loss started in a thread exactly like this. I read about someone using My Fitness Pal to track their food intake and consuming less than they were burning. I tried the same thing and within days I was losing weight and feeling better.

I lost 80 pounds over the following year, took up running using the Couch 2 5K program and have been maintaining that since 2018.

Finished my first triathlon last summer.

01:30am staring at my phone and I absolutely needed to hear this. Thank you internet stranger!

They’re intending for Magic to go the way of Lego. A bunch of different IPs in the mix and you’ll only engage with the sets you choose. If that’s only UW sets, they’re ok with that. For every one person that says they’re going to quit because of UB cards/sets, there’s likely 3-5 people that are picking up the game for the same reason.

The unfortunate side of this is that you don’t get left out of competitive Lego if you decide to not engage with a set.

It’s a business first, so someone has done the math to make sure that this kind of risk is worth it. Starting with Secret Lairs (Walking Dead) was a genius way to test the idea. Same goes for everything else they’ve done recently, new foil types, serialized cards, etc. They wouldn’t do that stuff if it didn’t make them money.

I’m not advocating in favor of this kind of behavior, but it’s the reality of how product development works. You ship, test, iterate and ship. As long as they project growth, even if it’s at the expense of their most enfranchised players, they’ll continue to do whatever is working. You just have to decide whether it’s an environment you want to participate in.

I’ve seen every episode of the office at least 4 times (and some much more) with the exceptions of Scott’s Tots. Watched it once and never went back. That one was too much.

I’m not doubting this is true given the source, but there are phone repair shops all over my town that repair cracked iPhone screens all the time. How do they make that business work if they have to register something like a screen replacement?
