YMCA Guest Pass Policy | Getting a Guest Pass https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/ymca-guest-pass-policy-getting-a-guest-pass/ https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/ymca-guest-pass-policy-getting-a-guest-pass/#respond Wed, 17 Dec 2025 16:28:59 +0000 https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/?p=101142 There is no single “Guest Pass Policy” for the entire United States because every YMCA association (e.g., YMCA of Greater New York, YMCA of Metro Chicago) is independent and sets its own rules.

]]>
There is no single “Guest Pass Policy” for the entire United States because every YMCA association (e.g., YMCA of Greater New York, YMCA of Metro Chicago) is independent and sets its own rules.

However, because most YMCAs operate similarly, the following guide covers the standard policies you will find at 90% of locations in the US.

1. Getting a Guest Pass (For Non-Members)

If you are looking to try out the gym before joining, most locations offer a free trial, but strict conditions usually apply to prevent people from using the gym for free indefinitely.

  • The “Try the Y” Pass: Most YMCAs offer a Free 1-Day, 3-Day, or 7-Day pass for prospective members.

  • Residency Requirement: You almost always must show a driver’s license proving you live locally. If you live out of town, you will likely be denied a free trial and asked to pay a Day Pass fee.

  • Frequency Limit: You are typically limited to one free trial every 12 months.

2. Bringing a Friend (For Current Members)

If you are already a member and want to bring a friend:

  • Free Guest Passes: Many membership plans include a set number of free guest passes per year (e.g., 2 per year).

  • Guest Fees: Once you use your free passes, you must pay a fee for your guest. The average fees are:

    • Adult: $10 – $20 per day

    • Child/Teen: $5 – $10 per day

    • Family: $25 – $40 per day

  • Age Rules: Members under 18 often cannot bring guests, or their guests must also have a parent present to sign a waiver.

3. Traveling Members (Nationwide Membership)

If you are a member of a YMCA in one state and visit a YMCA in another state, you can use the facility for free under the Nationwide Membership program.

  • The “Guest” Trap: Your Nationwide Membership covers YOU, not your guest.

  • If you travel to a different Y and bring a non-member friend, that friend will usually have to pay the standard Day Pass rate for that location.

4. Universal Requirements (Every YMCA)

No matter which location you visit, you must be prepared for the following:

  • Photo ID: Every adult guest (18+) MUST present a government-issued photo ID (Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport).

  • Background Check: Your name will be scanned through a national sex offender registry (like Raptor or Hall Pass) at the front desk. If you are on a registry, you will be denied access.

  • Waiver: You will be required to sign a liability waiver before entering.

Summary of Guest Costs

Guest Type

Cost

Notes

Local Resident (Trial) Free Usually valid for 1-7 days; ID with local address required.
Guest of a Member $0 – $15 Depends if the member has free passes left on their account.
Out-of-Town Visitor $15 – $25 Standard “Day Pass” rate.

There are currently no widespread reports of a total outage for Regions Bank or its mobile app as of today, December 16, 2025. Since the servers appear to be up, the issue is likely specific to your device, your local connection, or a recent app update.

Here are the quickest ways to fix it:

1. The “Wifi vs. Data” Test

  • Turn off your Wi-Fi and try logging in using cellular data (5G/4G).

  • Banking apps often block specific Wi-Fi IP addresses if they look suspicious or if the connection is unstable. If it works on data, your home Wi-Fi is the issue.

2. Check for a Mandatory Update

  • Banking apps frequently stop working if you are even one version behind for security reasons.

  • Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and manually search for “Regions Bank.” If the button says “Update” instead of “Open,” you must update to regain access.

3. Try the Browser (Rule Out Account Lock)

  • Open your mobile browser (Chrome/Safari) and try to log in at regions.com.

  • If you CAN log in there: The app is broken/corrupted. Delete the app and reinstall it.

  • If you CANNOT log in there: Your account might be locked or undergoing maintenance. You will likely see a specific error message on the website that the app won’t show you.

4. Error 403 / “System Unavailable”

  • If you are seeing a “System Unavailable” or “Error 403” message, this is often a temporary “handshake” error.

  • Fix: Fully close the app (swipe it away from your recent apps list), wait 2 minutes, and try again.

Still locked out?

If none of this works, you can check the official status or report the issue at Regions Customer Service: 1-800-734-4667.

Crumbl Shutting Down 2025 Rumor | Why the Rumor Started https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/crumbl-shutting-down-2025-rumor-why-the-rumor-started/ https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/crumbl-shutting-down-2025-rumor-why-the-rumor-started/#respond Mon, 15 Dec 2025 05:19:35 +0000 https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/?p=100962 No, Crumbl is not shutting down in 2025.The rumors you are seeing on TikTok and social media are false.

No, Crumbl is not shutting down in 2025.The rumors you are seeing on TikTok and social media are false. The company is still operating, opening new locations (albeit slower than before), and releasing weekly flavors.

Here is the truth behind why these rumors started and what is actually happening.


1. Why the Rumor Started

  • The “Headquarters” Video: A viral video showed the Crumbl sign being removed from their corporate headquarters in Utah. People panicked, assuming they were going out of business. The Truth: They simply moved to a new office building nearby because their lease was up.

  • Specific Store Closures: While the company isn’t closing, some individual franchise owners have closed their stores due to low sales or high rent (e.g., locations in California, Florida, and Tennessee). When people see a local store close, they often assume the whole chain is dying.

  • Slower Growth: In 2021-2023, Crumbl opened hundreds of stores a year. In 2024 and 2025, that pace has slowed drastically. This “cooling off” period is normal for fast-growing businesses, but it looks like a decline to outsiders.

2. The Real Issues (Not a Shutdown)

Crumbl is facing challenges, but they are legal and operational, not bankruptcy-level:

  • Lawsuits: In early 2025, Warner Music Group sued Crumbl for $24 million, claiming they used copyrighted music in their TikTok marketing without paying for it.

  • Franchisee Struggles: Some franchise owners are reporting lower profits as the “hype” for $5 cookies fades, leading to the occasional store closure mentioned above.


3. Current Status

  • Open for Business: They actively release new weekly flavors every Sunday night.

  • New Partnerships: They recently launched a collaboration with Dove (soap/body wash) and are testing new desserts like cakes and pies to boost sales.

  • Looking for a Buyer: Reports suggest the owners are actually trying to sell the company (possibly for around $2 billion), which is the opposite of shutting it down.


Summary:

Your local Crumbl is likely safe. If you want to be sure, check the Crumbl App to see if your specific location is still listed and taking orders.

The post This ad used too many resources for your device, so Chrome removed it. appeared first on Seminarsonly.com.

]]>
“This ad used too many resources for your device and  Chrome removed it” means Google Chrome is working exactly as intended to protect your computer or phone.

You do not need to “fix” your device. The error appeared because the website you are visiting tried to load a poorly coded or malicious advertisement, and Chrome blocked it to prevent it from draining your battery or freezing your browser.

Here is the breakdown of why this happens and what you can do about it.

1. What triggered this?

Chrome has a built-in feature called “Heavy Ad Intervention.” It automatically kills any ad frame that exceeds specific technical limits. The ad you were about to see violated one of these three rules:

  • It was too heavy on data: It tried to download more than 4 MB of data over the network.

  • It was hogging the CPU: It tried to use the main processing thread for more than 15 seconds in a short 30-second window (or 60 seconds total).

  • It was mining crypto: Sometimes, these “heavy ads” are actually scripts trying to mine cryptocurrency in the background using your hardware.

Also Read : Crumbl Shutting Down 2025 Rumor

2. What should you do?

  • Option A: Do Nothing (Recommended) You can ignore it. Chrome successfully killed the process, so it is no longer using your resources. The grey box is just a “tombstone” telling you what happened.

  • Option B: Refresh the Page Often, ad networks rotate ads. If you press F5 (or pull to refresh on mobile), the heavy ad will likely be replaced by a lighter, compliant one, and the error will disappear.

  • Option C: Install an Ad Blocker If you find the grey error boxes ugly or annoying, the best solution is to stop the ads from loading in the first place.

    • Recommendation: Install uBlock Origin (free and open-source). It will block the ad frame entirely so you won’t see the ad or the error message.

3. Note for Mobile Users

If you see this frequently on Android, it usually means the site you are visiting is poorly optimized. Using a browser with built-in ad blocking (like Brave) or using “Lite Mode” in Chrome can help save your data plan.

Summary:

Your device is fine. The website just served a “bad” ad, and Chrome took it out to keep your browsing smooth.

Sling One Day Blue Pass | How to Get https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/sling-one-day-blue-pass-how-to-get/ https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/sling-one-day-blue-pass-how-to-get/#respond Sun, 14 Dec 2025 16:55:43 +0000 https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/?p=100953 Since a 1-day pass for Blue doesn’t exist, the cheapest way to get immediate access is to sign up for the monthly plan and cancel immediately.

The post Sling One Day Blue Pass | How to Get appeared first on Seminarsonly.com.

]]>
Since a 1-day pass for Blue doesn’t exist, the cheapest way to get immediate access is to sign up for the monthly plan and cancel immediately.

There is currently no “One Day Pass” for the Sling Blue package.

Sling does offer a $4.99 Day Pass, but it is exclusively for the Sling Orange package (which includes ESPN, Disney, and TNT). They do not offer this short-term option for Sling Blue (which includes Fox, NBC, NFL Network, and Bravo).

Here is a breakdown of your options if you need Sling Blue content right now:

1. If you need it for just one day (The Best Workaround)

Since a 1-day pass for Blue doesn’t exist, the cheapest way to get immediate access is to sign up for the monthly plan and cancel immediately.

  • Current Offer: Sling usually runs a “50% off your first month” promo.

  • Cost: You would pay roughly $20–$22.50 (half of the standard ~$45 fee).

  • How to do it: Sign up for Sling Blue, watch the event you need, and cancel the subscription right after. You will keep access for the rest of the 30 days.

2. If you are an existing Sling Orange subscriber

If you already have Sling Orange and want to watch something on Blue (like a game on NFL Network or USA), you cannot buy a “Day Pass” to add Blue.

  • Solution: You must upgrade your account to the “Sling Orange + Blue” combo plan. You can switch plans instantly in your account settings, and you will be charged the prorated difference for the rest of your billing cycle.

Also Read : This ad used too many resources for your device, so Chrome removed it.

3. Check “Sling Freestream” (Free Option)

If you just need something to watch and aren’t looking for a specific premium channel (like Bravo or NFL Network), check Sling Freestream.

  • It is completely free (no credit card required).

  • It includes over 400 channels, though it lacks the major cable networks found in the paid Blue package.

Summary:

The $4.99 Day Pass is Orange only. For Blue channels, you have to buy a full month (starting at ~$22.50 with current promos).

YouTube Playback Speed Not Working | Practical Fixes https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/youtube-playback-speed-not-working-practical-fixes/ https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/youtube-playback-speed-not-working-practical-fixes/#respond Wed, 10 Dec 2025 04:40:36 +0000 https://www.seminarsonly.com/news/?p=98377 YouTube playback speed not working on Android and some devices in 2025 has recently been a known bug.

The post YouTube Playback Speed Not Working | Practical Fixes appeared first on Seminarsonly.com.

]]>
YouTube playback speed not working on Android and some devices in 2025 has recently been a known bug. This issue caused the playback speed controls to become unresponsive, locking videos at the default 1x speed despite attempts to change it.

YouTube acknowledged the problem and has officially fixed the bug as of August 2025, advising users to restart their app to restore normal functionality.

Here are some things you can try to fix the issue:


1. Ensure You’re Using the Correct Method

  • On desktop, you can change playback speed by:

    • Clicking the three dots (More Options) in the lower-right corner of the video player.

    • Select “Playback speed” and choose your desired speed (e.g., 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, etc.).

  • On mobile devices:

    • Tap on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the video screen (next to the video title).

    • Then select “Playback speed” to adjust the speed.

If this method isn’t working, move on to the next steps.


2. Check for Browser or App Updates

  • If you’re using YouTube on a browser, make sure your browser is up to date. Outdated browsers can sometimes cause issues with features like playback speed.

  • Similarly, if you’re using the YouTube mobile app, check for updates in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).

3. Clear Browser Cache or App Cache

  • A corrupted cache could be causing playback speed to malfunction. Try clearing the cache on your browser or app.

    • Browser: Go to your browser’s settings and clear the cache or browsing data.

    • App: In your mobile settings, go to the app settings for YouTube, and clear the cache.


4. Disable Extensions or Add-ons (on Desktop)

  • Certain browser extensions (like ad-blockers) can interfere with YouTube’s playback features. Try disabling any extensions, or use Incognito/Private Mode to see if the issue persists.

  • If it works in Incognito mode, you can pinpoint the extension causing the issue.


5. Try a Different Browser or Device

  • If you’re using a specific browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), try switching to another one to see if the problem is browser-related.

  • If you’re on a mobile device, try playing the video on a computer, or vice versa, to rule out device-specific issues.


6. Check for YouTube Account or Regional Restrictions

  • Sometimes, YouTube features like playback speed may be restricted depending on the type of content (e.g., some live streams or copyrighted content may not support speed adjustments).

  • Make sure your account is working properly by logging out and logging back in.


7. Restart Your Device or Browser

  • Sometimes a simple restart can fix minor issues. Try closing and reopening the browser or app, or restart your device entirely.


8. Check for Internet Connection Issues

  • If your connection is too slow or unstable, YouTube might automatically adjust playback settings, and playback speed could be disabled or restricted.


9. Try YouTube’s Web Player (Desktop)

  • If you’re on a mobile app and playback speed isn’t working, try watching YouTube directly on a web browser using YouTube’s web player (on desktop). It tends to have more consistent performance with these features.


10. Check YouTube’s Help Center or Forums

  • If nothing seems to work, you can check the YouTube Help Center or the YouTube Help Community for any reported bugs or updates related to playback speed issues.

Summary

Generally, these steps should restore playback speed control. If the problem is persistent, it may be a device-specific or account-related issue being investigated by YouTube.​​

In summary, the playback speed issue was a bug mostly on Android devices fixed by YouTube in mid-2025, and typical fixes involve restarting the app and playing short videos to re-enable speed control.

The post Top Socratic Questioning Examples 2025-2026 appeared first on Seminarsonly.com.

]]>
Socratic questioning is a disciplined form of questioning that can be used to pursue thought in many directions for many purposes.

It includes exploring complex ideas, to get to the truth of things, to open up issues and problems, to uncover assumptions, to analyze concepts, to distinguish what we know from what we don’t know, and to follow out logical implications of thought.

Here are examples of Socratic questioning categorized by the specific goal of the inquiry.

1. Clarification Questions

Goal: To move from vague thoughts to concrete details and ensure you understand the core issue.

  • “What do you mean specifically by _______?”

  • “Could you give me an example of that?”

  • “Are you saying [X], or are you saying [Y]?”

  • “How does this relate to our earlier discussion?”

  • “Could you rephrase that in your own words?”

2. Probing Assumptions

Goal: To challenge the unverified beliefs that support an argument.

  • “What are you assuming here?”

  • “Is that assumption always the case?”

  • “Why would someone make that assumption?”

  • “You seem to be assuming that [X] causes [Y]. Is that necessarily true?”

  • “What would happen if that assumption were proven false?”

3. Probing Reasons and Evidence

Goal: To uncover the data or logic behind an argument.

  • “How do you know this to be true?”

  • “What specific evidence supports this view?”

  • “Is there a counter-example that disproves this?”

  • “On what authority are you basing this claim?”

  • “Are these reasons good enough to support such a strong conclusion?”

4. Questioning Viewpoints and Perspectives

Goal: To attack the problem from a different angle.

  • “What would be an alternative way of looking at this?”

  • “How would [a specific group/person] answer this question?”

  • “What are the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing view?”

  • “If you were in their shoes, how would you see this situation?”

  • “Why is this perspective better than the alternative?”

5. Probing Implications and Consequences

Goal: To look at the future outcome or logical conclusion of a thought.

  • “If we follow this line of reasoning, what is the logical conclusion?”

  • “What are the long-term consequences of this?”

  • “How does this affect [a related issue]?”

  • “If everyone did this, what would be the result?”

  • “Does this contradict what we established earlier?”

6. Questions about the Question (Meta-Questions)

Goal: To reflect on the inquiry process itself.

  • “Why do you think I asked that question?”

  • “Is this the right question for us to be focusing on?”

  • “What does this question assume?”

  • “How can we find out the answer to this?”

  • “Is this question easy or difficult to answer? Why?”


Real-World Application Examples

Scenario A: The Workplace (Solving a Problem)

Statement: “We need to buy new project management software; the current one is terrible.”

  • Clarification: “What specifically do you mean by ‘terrible’?”

  • Evidence: “What specific tasks are failing or taking too long because of the current software?”

  • Assumption: “Are we assuming the software is the problem, or could it be a lack of training on how to use it?”

  • Perspective: “How does the finance team feel about the current software’s reporting features?”

Scenario B: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Challenging Negative Thoughts)

Statement: “I am a total failure because I didn’t get that promotion.”

  • Clarification: “How exactly do you define ‘failure’?”

  • Evidence: “Does missing one promotion cancel out the successes you’ve had in the past year?”

  • Implication: “If your friend didn’t get a promotion, would you label them a ‘total failure’?”

  • Consequence: “What is the consequence of holding onto this belief that you are a failure?”

Tips for Using Socratic Questioning

  1. Watch Your Tone: It should sound like curiosity, not interrogation. If you sound aggressive, the other person will get defensive.

  2. Be Comfortable with Silence: After you ask a deep question, give the person time to think. Do not rush to fill the silence.

  3. Listen Actively: You cannot ask a good follow-up question if you are not truly listening to the answer.

There isn’t one single “direct dial” phone number that automatically plays a naughty list warning to anyone who calls. Most public Santa numbers are set up to accept wish lists from “nice” children.

However, if you want to simulate a “Naughty List” warning call, the most effective methods for late 2024/2025 are using specific apps or “simulated” call videos.


Option 1: The Best “Naughty List” Apps (Most Realistic)

These apps are the standard for this specific request because they let you choose why the child is on the naughty list (e.g., not listening, fighting, not eating veggies).

  • Message from Santa! (Video, Phone & Text)

    • Platform: iOS | Android

    • How to do it: Open the app and select “Call from Santa”. There is a specific category for “Bad Behavior” or “Naughty List”. You can select the specific reason, and the app will simulate a phone call where Santa gently warns them to behave.

  • Portable North Pole (PNP)

    • Platform: iOS|Android

    • How to do it: This is famous for high-quality video messages. You can create a “Naughty List Warning” video where Santa opens his big book and shows that the child is currently on the “naughty” side but has time to fix it.


Option 2: The “Fake Call” Video Method (Easiest)

If you don’t want to download an app, many parents use a pre-recorded YouTube video that looks like a phone call. You play the video on your phone and hold it up as if Santa is on FaceTime or speakerphone.

  • Search YouTube for: “Santa Naughty List Warning Call 2024” or “Santa Call for Bad Behavior.”

  • How it works: The video usually features a Santa actor looking into the camera saying something like, “Hello? I’m checking my list and I see someone isn’t listening…”


Option 3: The General “Santa Hotline”

This is a real working number, but it is not inherently a “naughty list” line. It is a general voicemail line. You can use it by dialing it and telling the child, “I’m calling Santa to tell him what happened,” and then fake the conversation before letting them hear the voicemail greeting.

  • Number: +1 (605) 313-4000

  • What happens: It plays a recorded message from Santa saying he is busy making toys, and then asks the caller to leave a message.

  • Note: Standard long-distance rates may apply depending on your phone plan.


⚠️ Parent Tip:

The “Naughty List” calls are usually designed to be gentle warnings (e.g., “There’s still time to get back on the Nice List!”). It is often better to use the “Portable North Pole” video because it ends on a positive, encouraging note rather than just scaring them.
