I have 4 WaveBirds. I had just started my first job in HS when the GC came out and my friends and I became obsessed with Phantasy Star Online. So being a HS student with nothing really important to spend my paychecks on, I ended up with 4 WaveBirds and the broadband adapter. I almost bought the keyboard controller even. We stopped playing PSO before I did buy it unfortunately but I did later use the broadband adapter and PSO to stream pirated games to my GC though so that was fun.

For some reason I can vividly remember a scene where the son tries opening a locked door with his dad's credit card and it breaks in half. Then he goes to tell his dad but luckily for him his dad gets a new CC in the mail that day.

That and one of the female characters has my name which is the only place I have ever heard of a female with my name. Which is perfectly fine but when you are little kid it's not so fun!

Same here. Ever since Exile I have bought them all.

It would be insane to take them out completely they are an introvert's dream and most people prefer them for smaller shopping trips. Now if every store went to the scan and go model then I would be okay with them being gone. Scan items as you shop and then pay from your phone. The only interaction is an employee at the door just quick checking your receipt by scanning a few of the items. It's glorious.

Home owner's association. Neighborhoods have common needs such as landscaping and other infrastructure that doesn't fall in someone's property. In theory these make sense, you have a group of people who set guidelines to keep the neighborhood nice. However, what often ends up happening is the group pushes their own agendas and it is no longer for the common good.

This will make your own shop. I use this exclusively for loading things to my switch.I have never tried making my own backups from shop installed games but I imagine there are tutorials for it.

That has been my only complaint with this app. It's just so frustrating when trying to read a screenshot.

I got firstlastname on Gmail and I find it a curse now. There are old people all over the place with the same name that simply can't remember their email address and end up using mine. I have had everything from non profit fun runs in North Carolina to aerial crop photos from Idaho that apparently farmers pay for? It was like a $100 a month service... . Luckily I use first.lastname so I can filter out their emails quickly since they never have the . Occasionally when it's an email from a small company or something like that i send responses but most of it I just junk now.

I just spent the last 2 hours before bed playing Minecraft with my 7 and 5 year old and I ate chicken nuggets for dinner... I may never grow up....

I have cordless blinds and rarely have had any issues and the issues I have had I was able to fix. I once read pull them straight out perpendicular to the window until you feel a pop and then it starts working normal again. I am not sure if that is what you meant by exercising the tension mechanism, but if not that has worked every time for me.

As for if it's the cordless blinds, I have $7 blinds from Menard's, so I am not talking expensive or nice by any means. I assume they are store brand, since they are 27x64 and only $7. 3 kids that kept destroying blinds for one reason or another, so I ended up going cheap and they are going 4 years strong.
