"It takes a rare kind of wisdom to accept change and redemption in another. Many would refuse, seeing only what was, not what is. Mr. Garibaldi gave me that chance and I must repay him."
I've noticed a pattern that fees like a problem, but it also appears to be very specific and part of it makes no sense. (Flair for which Kia I have.)
When driving up one specific street when the car has been on for less than 5 minutes and in Sport mode, it feels wobbly and there is a pulsing boom sound like driving at near highway speed with only the front windows down (allowing the entire back 2/3 of the car to overpressure that then releases with a boom as the air forces itself out the open front windows).
The feel is like the tires are low or the wheels are loose But the car's TPMS shows tire pressure is good all around, a quick visual inspection of the tires by me when the car is parked look OK and I had the tire shop do a torque check and that's all good.
Once I'm off that street, it's good. If the car has been running for a while, I can drive the same street the same way and it's good. If I'm not in Sport mode it's good.
I'm trying to figure this out before taking it to a shop because I don't want to spend $150+/hour for diagnostics that might show nothing's wrong.
(It's the Sport mode that makes no sense, because that does nothing to the suspension.)
Trying to swap out the backstrap on my P07 and it feels fucking IMPOSSIBLE to put back together because the hammer spring plug, whose pin also holds the backstrap, is fucking ROUND. No matter how carefully I align it with the holes it fucking twists as I push it in and cannot get the damn pin back in.
I've been at it an hour, and I'm losing my mind, and I've already lost the plug and spring once.
Extar goes roller-delayed! With a corresponding price increase, of course.
I see a lot of posts about chairs, desks, keyboards, mice, posture, etc. All work related. But nothing about life stuff. Nothing about dining room chairs/tables and nothing about beds/sleeping arrangements.
These things are just as important. For example, most people spend a third of their day in bed.
Due to a degenerative skeletal condition, I literally cannot lay flat. So much so that when I need imaging done (xray, ultrasound, whatever) I can't even lay flat on their tables or carts. And with my bad wrist, I frequently would wake up in the morning with wrist pain before I've even done anything. So what do I do?
I have a motorized adjustable bed with both my head and knees raised. This puts just enough curve to support me when on my back and not be too much when I inevitably roll onto my side. As for the wrist, I have a cushioned wrist brace designed specifically for wrist support/immobilization while sleeping.
The bed is an off-the-shelf item from a furniture store and the wrist brace is cheap from Amazon.
Not directly gun related, but directly involves the agency that enforces the laws.
Fired up Waze for the drive home from an evening out and didn't realize until after it showed me the "best" route that I had avoidances enabled from the other day. So I changed the option to not avoid tolls or highways, selected the route I wanted, and headed off. And it chirped at me when I started heading to the highway. And then when approaching an intersection where it wanted me to turn instead of continuing straight towards the highway, it wanted me to turn.
I turned off the avoidances and selected the damn route I wanted and Waze ignored it.
I have a Hogue sleeve on my P07 for the palm swell. But it's now starting to twist on the grip which a: messes with me gripping the thing and b: causes a bit of rubber to get caught in the mag well that can prevent the next mag from seating.
Any suggestions on a better replacement?

Google Messages on a Samsung Galaxy S24U. Spam filtering is ON.
The spam filtering here sucks. It's only stopping about 20% of the spam messages despite the unblocked ones having the same keywords and phrases as the few that are blocked and coming from similar out-of-area numbers. And despite me flagging every single one of them as "block and report spam".
Yet the Google Phone app and GMail do great jobs at blocking spam...
On my primary home Win11 Home desktop, there is a network drive configured. That drive does not exist any more, and I think this is what's causing the computer to take so long displaying Windows Explorer and other app content.
When I go to manually disconnect it I get an error that the drive does not exist.
I searched and found an MS Help post from a year or so ago that gave options such as net use /disconnect, which errored that the drive does not exist. It also gave an option of deleting it from the Registry, but it's not listed there with my drives. It also gave instructions on deleting it from Computer Management's drive manager but guess what... it's not there.
How do I remove this non-existent network drive?
Truthsayer (Townsfolk): Each night* pick a player. You learn if yesterday they told the truth about information they got from their own ability.
This only detects objective truths regarding the selected player's own ability. For example, if the player claiming Nightwatchman says they pinged a selected player, but does not if that selected player confirmed or denied the ping. It does detect info learned by the Drunk and Marionette based on the abilities they think they have as being not true. Any bluffing as a character the player is not pings as not true.
It does not work on "I have heard" or "I was told" statements, unless that itself is a bluff and the player got that info directly from their own ability.
If the selected player told both the truth and lied in the same day about their own info, the answer is arbitrary.
This should work on scripts with more than one way for players to be droisoned or player mechanical info to be wrong (ie Vortox) even when such are not in play. And I figure it should be self-balancing by becoming a prime night-kill target for Evil.
And of course, people don't have to be Evil to lie about their info.
Edit 6/23/26:
Updated ability text based on feedback to this point:
Each night, pick a player. Tomorrow night you learn if they told the truth in public about their ability that day.
Now, the ST only has to monitor one player instead of all players, and should make it clear(er) that it's anything to do with the selected player's ability whether it's information or actions.
Weirdest thing just happened at work. Got a call from a customer named "Deb". She sounded exactly like our favorite sentient patch of haze.
Densha, you said.
I've been playing BOTC since pre-pandemic with basically the same group. Other than TB we almost never play Base 3 scripts, we normally play customs with the Experimental/Carousel roles.
I've been Storytelling off and on for a few years now. I've run TB more times than I can count, I've written some scripts, ran them and ran other customs. Tonight was only the second time I've run BMR.
Shabaloth, Godfather, DA, Goon, Inn Keeper, Chambermaid, Sailor, Gambler, Grandmother, Gossip. Bluffs provided: Courtier, Exorcist, Professor.
In setting up the Grim, I made the Inn Keeper the Grandkid and started waking people for their N1 activities. Sailor picked the Grandmother player. So I showed the Grandmother the Chambermaid token and player. Because they were drunked, they learned something other than the truth, but if I showed a player and an incorrect token they'd know they were droisoned.
Was that valid?
There was confusion among a cabal of players, including the Sailor and Grandmother, when the Grandmother failed to die when the Chambermaid died in the night. Sailor had told the Grandmother day one what they did, as well as the Sailor failed to die by execution that day, so they were 99.44% sure that the Grandmother player was drunk when they learned their info. As it happened, Chambermaid died to a True Gossip not the Demon.
Also, how many times is reasonable to regurgitate a prior-night's Shab pick? I only triggered that once. Professor was one of the bluffs.
Other notes: From Night 2 through Night 4, the Sailor picked the Goon, keeping them good until the Goon was killed at night by the Shab. Since they had been picked by the Sailor first, the kill went through. Inn Keeper kept picking the Grandmother and Shab who was bluffing Exorcist, so kept drunking the Grandmother. Gambler died N2 with an incorrect guess. Gossip got a True Gossip kill on N2, would have gotten one also on N3 but was executed that day. Evil won with a Shab double tripple-kill when town went to sleep after executing to four five alive by killing the Grandchild taking the Grandmother with them. Evil successfully kept the town guessing what the Demon was. After a night of no deaths, Town thought maybe Po, but with only one death the following night (a sank kill and Gossip and Gambler dead by then and the Godfather not yet triggered) town drilled into Pukka.
EDIT: Corrected the end-game. It was sleep on 5 and the Shab killed the Chambermaid and Inn Keeper-Grandkid which took out the Grandmother.
I'm finally getting around to looking at suppressors for my AR9 pistol, which I got last year with the intention of putting a suppressor on it, but then expensive life got in the way.
I had been watching the Lyman/Sonicore site keeping an eye on the availability of the Valor 9. They Said it would be released this past April and I'm still waiting. So... On a trip to the range today, I started looking at alternatives. And got confused. Not by the selection, but by the "required extras" that are not included in the price.
The host weapon is going to be an AR9 pistol, its barrel is threaded with the standard 1/2x28 threading. I suppose in the future it's possible I'll move it to another gun, but if I do it'd be a higher quality PCC/PDW not a carry pistol. IOW, it'd always be on a fixed barrel.
Can I just get a direct-thread suppressor and be done? Or so I need things like a piston, spring or spacer?
(Side item, even the least expensive suppressor they carry costs more than the gun it's going on.)
So a while ago I asked for advise on where to get my CZ P07 milled for a dot and I got some good suggestions. I went with Wager with the cerekote option (graphite black) to match the gun, milled for an RMSc direct mount. The dot is an Osight SE. Man, dots are like a cheat code.
I kinda already knew that as I have a Romeo5 on my AR9, it was formerly on my PC9, and an LVPO on my AR15. But my EDC was just hanging there with irons (front fiber/rear blackout). I had been resisting getting a dot for it not because I didn't want the dot, but because I didn't want to send it out and be without for a few weeks. Should'a done this sooner. What finally got me to seriously look into it and then do it was a range session (prior to my most recent eye doctor visit btw) where I literally could not keep a visual focus on the front sight or the target at any distance beyond 20ft.
So anyway, got the slide back from Wager within two weeks, about two weeks ago. Mounted the dot and went to the range to zero it. Shot about 150~200 rounds after zeroing. Went back today and put another 150~200 downrange, mostly to make sure it held zero after several hundred rounds, and it did. Thing is still more accurate than I am. And I was able to push the target out to 20 yards and still hit the silhouette, which I always had trouble with before using a pistol's iron sights.
So if anyone is on the fence on getting a dot for their pistol, even if it means getting it milled, my advice is do it.
(Wager had to remove the fiber optic rod from the front sight to do their thing, it has since been replaced after this picture was taken.)

Looks like someone did a search-and-replace on Butler and modified the token art.
I have three devices configured in "Extend Unlock", to keep the phone unlocked when Bluetooth connected to any of them: My car, my AAWireless device, and a speaker on my desk.
At random times, even when connected to one of these devices and was previously unlocked while connected, my phone will fully lock requiring my unlock code or fingerprint.
This started with OneUI 8.5.
