During that time, our local parish highway department would make sure the appropriate warning signs were posted within the state's many state parks and campgrounds... What's happened here is it's been a couple weeks now since the hurricane, and the little buggers have had a chance to really get going in all the flooded areas... and are back in force... bleh....

richfiles Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 This week, I got SLAMMED at work... One person called in sick on Tuesday... Another called in stupid on Thursday... I could complain that i'm dead tired, but I really can't... It was for a good cause. I got up at 1:30 int he morning to stand in line in front of a Walmart, to guarantee I'd get a Nintendo SNES Classic Mini. Still dead tired though...

Green Baron Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) It took 6 weeks since the order of a book via amazon to the delivery today. 6 bloody weeks for a simple book, worth 45,90 (euro). Customs is the culprit. The Canaries aren't Europe taxwise like the Spanish mainland and i, as a German "emigrant", am used to have an order on the desk after 3 days, and only if it's not pressing. They changed the import rules this year to let goods up to 150,- just pass but apparently the bureau-crazy Spaniards don't know yet. The parcel was x-rayed, an enterprise i never heard of asked for my personal data like tax identification number and things, via email. I told them to do things where the sun doesn't shine, am i loco to hand out such data via email ? One doesn't need to be too bright to realize that these nonsensical laws just cost the economy A LOT ... Ok. will go reading now.

NSEP Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) A little update on the broken headphone plug stuck in the jack problem. (Spoiler alert: its still stuck in there!) I tried the BIC pen trick, but some how it just does not work. I dont know we really have to force it in the headphone jack in order for it to work. I also tried to use a cotton swab tube but neither did that work. I could be doing it wrong. My dad tried to use superglue to pull it out both with a toothpick and BIC pen tube, that did not work neither. I don't have any superglue at home (that i know of), i do want to find or maybe buy some to try it myself. Kinetic Energy does not work. Tweezers also do not work, we would have to get our hands on medical tweezers wich are hard to get (apparently). We haven't tried a bent thumbnack on a pin or safety pins, yet. EDIT: and something went wrong with posting this on the forum so everything i just typed got repeated like 6 times.

Don't pay stupid ebay prices for it though. Nintendo ramped up production, compared the NES classic last year. I wish they had done the controller ports differently. It has a stupid flap covering them... It looks pretty stupid. If I had designed it, I'd have had the ports in a recess in the bottom, with the cords coming out underneath the front edge of the unit. Instead, you have to pop off a flap on the front, to reveal the real connector ports underneath. That's my only gripe... What matters is the games! I started playing a little Earthbound. Then I tried to play the first level of Star Fox (which is required to unlock Star Fox 2)... I died the first try... On 9/30/2017 at 9:02 AM, p1t1o said: Wait you can call in STUPID!!!??

DeltaDizzy Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Well this one has to do with Kopernicus and someone making requests. He seems to think im some kind of Planet Pack Miracle worker. He asked me to make: 1. A Gas Giant named Titan with Auroras and Storms. 2. A europa-like moon with a few holes for an ocean 3. A laythe-like moon with pink oceans 3. On one of the moons, an easter egg that looked like the USS Enterprise. And Ive barely got texturing down! PS He also wants Full scatterer compatibiltiy, cassini parts, and oceans on the gas giant Edited October 1, 2017 by DeltaDizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every night I go out, look up at Orion's shoulder, and yell, "BOOM!"... But nope... nothing... Come on... it's far enough away not to hurt us, but also close enough it should light up the sky... and is looking like it's ready to go anytime. I want to see a Super-Nova!!!

Unfortunately when I say it could blow anytime, that's still in astronomical terms, and might not be for another 500 years... But from what I've read, it could also be as soon as tomorrow night....

p1t1o Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If you are temping at a company, please do not have a long and animated conversation about sueing the healthcare system for misdiagnosing your...rectal bleeding...with someone you have just met. I dont know you, talking for that long, with that amount of anger, about that number of alleged cases of "malpractice" involving that number of guilty parties....I am going to assume the problem lies with you. Yes, some of you are thinking "Thats not fair, it could easily be a legitimate case!". That is all well and good but blindsiding a stranger with a long and incredible tale involving your malfunctioning anus, is not going to endear me to your case.

WinkAllKerb'' Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 just gonna say that as i have been a few month without seein any world news, stuck at home, avoiding news kind of pop up , adds and whatever of that kind and all, and well restarted to watch a littl' since a week or so, because spent a few hours per days with some family, and they have a radio and/or tv turned on, and it's a bit depressing after not seein any news for long ...
