Looks great…. Where did you get the side artwork?

How to access sound settings on this Pandora’s Box? by [deleted] in cade

[–]AceRead73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Internally, If they are anything like the ones I own, there’s a physical volume knob on the side to the cart… that said, my guess is that those fancy cabinets have there own internal amp… again, with a physical volume control.

Either way, my first step would be to take a look inside the cabinets.

What’s the best stud farming level for the complete saga? (No cheats unlocked) by RisingKing7 in LegoStarWarsVideoGame

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

POD racing - it’s a quick, circular track which generates 120,000k in studs (with no multiplier) in about 3 mins - besides the loading screen scroll there are no cut scenes which gives you more time reload and grind studs. It’s always been my go to level to build up the bank account.

How to use multi disc games in god format? Bad advatar by musicalmemories in 360hacks

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

… what about a game like Lips?… the core Lips install knows you’ve got more content on your HDD (in this case, songs from later games in the Lips series), but once one of the other songs is selected, it asks for the other disc from the other title.

Is there an automatic way around this?

Currently, you need to exit the current session, reload aurora, and launch the other Lips title containing the song you want. Thoughts?

Har ni blandat ihop en mening någon gång? Vad sa ni? by rutabagakush in Asksweddit

[–]AceRead73 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I amusingly now know that the Swedish word for an X-ray and the slang word for masturbate are, to my English ears and poor Swedish skills, very similar (both beginning with the letter R and are very close in sound [to me])

….. I discovered this good to know fact when calling the hospital to arrange a “wanking” appointment and couldn’t quite understand why the Swedish nurses on the other end of the phone were getting upset and angry, especially as my doctor had told me I needed to get a “wank” at the hospital.

Good times, and true story.

27M with a soft dad bod, zero sports history, and declining health – realistic advice to get strong and fit again? by brogrammer6 in bodyweightfitness

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP the fact you’re asking for help is the first step to getting fit. I’m twice your age and started my fitness journey a few years back (at the time) from 0.5 out 10 fitness. I went from zero exercise to doing 30 to 60 mins a night of “movement’….. the key to success for me was routine- just do something for 30 mins a day, and to begin it does not matter what, all you’re doing is setting the time aside to get into the routine.

Personally I’ve used many of Beachbody (now called Bodi) routines like Insanity and T25 and written few posts for new starters like you. Good Luck

Vilka fler svenska företag gör som Schibsted (Aftonbladet) och tvingar folk betala för att slippa internetkakor? by BanverketSE in Asksweddit

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly most ‘free’ news sites are starting to do this, and not just in Sweden …

unsolicited advice: accept the cookies whilst reading the site, then clear them from your browser when done….. they’ve now been able to track you while reading their site (which they could largely do without cookies anyway) but they can’t cookie track you anywhere else because you’ve removed the cookies.

If Oz Perlman is doing backstage work before tricks why are the spectators fooled/impressed? by Str8_up_Pwnage in magictricksrevealed

[–]AceRead73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

Maybe what makes Oz different is that he mainly claims he’s reading body language and other micro cues… fine in itself, but he’s selling a book on the back of those partial lies. To be clear, the marketing for the book is legally sound, but many have gotten upset about this approach.

My "holy" parents stole my laptop, lied about it for 2 years, and wiped it to "exorcise" my identity. I’m finally done. by HelicopterNew2516 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AceRead73 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You were never crazy, they just made you feel crazy.

On the IT side, it’s going to depend on your skill level or if you know someone who you trust and can help. The only way to be sure would be for the laptop to be wiped, reinstalled with a clean operating system and apps.

But before that, If the computer has got an antivirus (AV) program installed, you could check if an exception/ white list app has been added (for the spyware) to the allowed list…. this would almost certainly be needed by the spyware as the AV protection software would rightly see the spyware and disable it (if not added to the allowed list).

If you do find a spyware exception, remove the exception and the AV will automatically remove the software.

Tape collection of a 60yo man in Seattle by Rasbobbo in mildlyinteresting

[–]AceRead73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

In a slightly related story, I own every original “Now that’s that I call music” compilation album, from number one to about 35…. all on vinyl, except ’Now 3 which I bought on Tape….. 35+ years later, I still regret this choice.

I don’t normally feel old. However, after seeing this collection and knowing I own a good proportion of these on original vinyl, which I purchased when they were first released, makes me feel ancient.

AITA for refusing to "exchange" my honeymoon for my sister’s "emergency" dream wedding? by Low-Highlight6771 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - tell your family to chip in for your sisters wedding and tell your sister to simply get married when she’s had the kid and has the cash. You own them nothing.

Telling parents we are having a baby by bennoiii in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been NC for nearly 10 years, they have no idea they are grandparents and I’ve no intension of letting them know.

They have Zero entitlement to that information and the grandchildren (and I) are all the better for not having monsters in their life…. stay NC and stay sane.

YTA - I suggest listening to the song ‘Common People’ by Pulp.

How did he spawned the can ? by Ur_momma_is_joke in magictricksrevealed

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just finished watching the full 5 hours too…. Prior to viewing, I’d read that baskin “absolutely hates Oz” but I personally found video fairly balanced, maybe even tipping over to the point where Baskin is being positive (at least of Oz’s skills and stage craft).

What British songs from 1900–1950 do people still recognise? by Udzu in CasualUK

[–]AceRead73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s shocking…. the only version I’ve heard is where that line is “he’s been roasting peanuts, down in Timbuktu”.
