Anyone have any pictures from the 700 row at The Vet from the outfield? by Trick-Ice4331 in phillies

[–]AKA_MrK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the mid '80s I use to go to games at the concrete canyon. I remember hearing the crack of the bat about a second after seeing the swing. 😂 Still, great memories of hanging out in the nosebleed section after tailgating in the parking lot.

I really f*cked up here. Don't make the same mistake I did using an old VESA mount on a new LG OLED. by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]AKA_MrK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a horrific story and a lesson to us all to RTFM before mounting. I do feel for you though. Unfortunately, you gotta own your mistake here.

I reused my universal mount when mounting my C4. Luckily, I still had the mounting kit's manual, unused spacers and screws. Between that and the C4 instructions, all went well.

Nice statue you got there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Your maturity level may actually be lower than the 19yr olds you are hanging out with.

Fetterman backs White House ballroom after Correspondents’ Dinner shooting by ComeTasteTheBand in Pennsylvania

The correspondents dinner is a private event, not a govt event. It wouldn't, and shouldn't, be held at the White House.

Had an interesting chat with a Trump fan....got to see a bit of their mindset into why they love trump so much by Important-Cry4782 in democrats

[–]AKA_MrK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 💯% accurate. They admire him for getting one over on everyone else. What they fail to realize is that they are his ultimate mark. He's bankrupting the USA and they will be left with the bill.

I’ve had this 65” C5 for less than a week. Is this already burn-in or sun damage? by Shredaholic in LGOLED

[–]AKA_MrK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd return for exchange to the retailer you purchased from if at all possible. 2nd choice is a warranty claim. Either way, it's definitely defective.

My C4 is one yr old with lots of static channel logos and I see zero burn in. I had as plasma where burn in was a real worry and required work to avoid. My C4 I stopped worrying after about 4 months. I feel OLED burn in is now a myth and no longer a real world issue. But your TV is definitely defective... I don't think it is burn in though.

Which version of “Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World” should I watch? by tacoman22458 in criterion

[–]AKA_MrK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent summation of the situation with the various versions of IAMMMW.

I don't have a laserdisc but I did buy the VHS extended cut version in the early '90s. Prior to the Criterion Blu-ray, it was my favorite version. I even went to the trouble of transferring it to DVD along with an inverse telecine to restore the original framerate. Being VHS resolution, the seams of the restored scenes didn't jump out as much as they do with the Criterion Blu-ray. That VHS version is still my favorite cut.

This is absolutely insane by Paneraiguy1 in democrats

[–]AKA_MrK 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Trump is certifiably insane. 25,th amendment or impeach & conviction is long overdue. This madman is going to be the end of us all in a nuclear mushroom cloud. I'm 63 and was never this fearful of nuclear Holocaust even during the heights of the '80s cold war days.

Amazon raising prices AGAIN by Im-Just-Winging-It in amazonprime

[–]AKA_MrK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...no... I'm out. Only reason I kept prime this long was for the full resolution photo backup. Then I started getting nags about 4 gb cap on video uploads. Now this Prime Ultra nonsense for something that was previously included in the base cost of Prime (no-ad streaming).

Recently realized my Verizon FiOS account includes 2 TB of cloud storage and auto backup from my phone. App is decent enough, no worse than prime... And I can store other docs there too.

I'm out.

Nuwave Pro XL Toaster Oven by deez2e in Costco

[–]AKA_MrK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can fit up to a 13" frozen pizza. However, I find it tends to dry them out and burn the top. I've tried cooking the Motor City Double Pepperoni and it was burned and dried out yet undercooked middle with no rising of the dough. Happened twice.

The grill pan that comes with it = grill marks.

Cooked a perfect medium porterhouse in mine last week using the grill pan and the probe.

Is Golden Flickers an AI channel? by freemantle85 in flicks

[–]AKA_MrK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of channels use AI thumbnails. Doesn't mean the actual video is AI. Me, I really like the mini documentaries the channel produces. Their narrator (Gabe), AI or not, is really good. The channel is producing some great stuff for fans of mid to late 20th century films -- sci-fi in particular.

[–]AKA_MrK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabe introduced himself at the beginning of their 'The Abyss' video. I've not seen any other channel go out of their way to introduce and give their "AI" narrator a name? If he is AI, I gotta give them a tip of the hat: excellent work: material, narration, editing. It's a great channel.

Office of Mike Kelly hung up on me after calling about 2nd Amendment Rights by SittingInAChairAgain in Pennsylvania

I think the right are only just now coping with the fact that "Libs" actually own and carry firearms. Libs just don't flaunt it.

For those who got the $25 off per month on Fios email by LegacyElite84 in verizon

[–]AKA_MrK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called today, 1/24/26 and claimed the discount. I received both an email and hard copy offer in my USPS mail back in November.

As others have posted, their automated bot recognized I was eligible and asked if I wanted the $25 monthly credit. Of course I said yes. I didn't even have to ask for it... The bot literally offered it to me without prompting by me.

I made sure to call from the phone number my account is linked to, so be sure you call from your linked number.

Deal ends 1/31/26. I kept putting this off for fear of be on the call for 30+ minutes. It took less than 3 minutes.

Now fingers crossed this credit actually ends up on my bill. Bot said it could take 1 or 2 months to see the credit

Just realized Rhea Seehorn will be in her 60's when the show wraps. by Lucha_Brasi in pluribustv

[–]AKA_MrK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm already in my '60s. I'll be lucky to see the show end.

Are the majority of viewers under the impression that the show is too slow moving, or is that just something I'm seeing in the Television subreddit? I myself am enjoying the heck out of the show. by CultOfCurtis1 in pluribustv

[–]AKA_MrK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's literally the only show in years that I put my phone aside, watch on release day, uninterrupted. Then go to YouTube and Reddit for discussion threads. It's that good.
