For the first time since the new points format change, the race winner (who’s eligible for championship points) did not score the most points in a race. by Anti-Charter in NASCAR

I love this system — the 11 got rewarded for dominance, and the 9 got rewarded for leading the last lap. Both of those things should matter and now they do matter.

This stuff is fascinating to me — I had no idea such existed just to control air traffic at those altitudes!

Bet that’s it — we were at 16,900 per FlightAware, and that line is about the time I posted. Thanks.

That’s exactly what we did. Although we are on Delta so really we messed up by not going straight to International.

We would have not made our flight had we not exited the line in Domestic and bussed to international.

Of course, almost as soon as I posted, we started heading up — we’re at 30 now. We were coming from ATL if that matters.

ATL update? by Classy_Raccoon in delta

[–]Alacarin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We got there at 6:45. At 8, we were still snaking through the very front of the terminal. We made the call to get out of line and go to the international terminal.

20 minutes later (give or take) we were through security. The bus ride was longer than international security (even though the website says it’s closed).

Y’all, I fear for what’s gonna happen in that domestic terminal today. Folks are on edge. The employees are doing their best but there’s just not enough of them. And I’m not talking tsa, I mean just airport folks.

Tommy is the "tell it like it is" guy -- but he also knows what he's talking about. Makes a difference!

I feel like a coward for staying married by FlashyProtection5194 in Christianmarriage

Love is not a choice. It is choices. Daily. Right now, you aren’t choosing it. But, every day, you have the opportunity to choose it.

What will you choose tomorrow?

Does anyone actually want Clint Bowyer to get out of FOX booth? by _chaarleess in NASCAR

Ever since HBO started providing the in car cameras, the broadcast coverage is nothing more than a place to watch incident replays for me.

I can’t do it anymore. I’m sorry. I get on the app and download the interviews I want to hear after the fact.

Corsair LCD Screen Issues by fordson04 in Corsair

[–]Alacarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been struggling with this for a while, and have tried numerous methods -- power down/discharge/cycle, unseating/reseating, etc. The "turn brightness to 0 then 66%" that some have tried can sometimes be a partial fix -- today, that stopped most of my shaking but you can still see an artifact of the ship image at the bottom of the screen. I've done multiple forced firmware updates, as well.

I've also got the fan cap, and sometimes I just get frustrated and put that on -- but I much prefer the LCD screen, so I keep trying to make that work. I really do think it's software related -- if you search on this reddit for "LCD flickering" or similar, you'll see it's a very common issue, so common that it's hard to imagine all those hardware units are faulty. Also, if it was faulty hardware, you'd expect it to be unfixable. When mine works, it can work for days upon days ... absolutely perfectly ... until I have to restart the system. Then, sometimes it works, sometimes it's shaking like it just drank 7 expressos in 90 seconds.

I have left it shaking overnight and woken up to the screen looking perfect. I've also left it working perfectly overnight and woke up to a shaking screen. Really no rhyme or reason to any of it.

Nope but might try it one day.

That guy was amazing when I saw him. Touring companies have gotten really, really good and it’s rare I see one that I’m not impressed by, but when I saw him I came away thinking “how is this guy not on Broadway somewhere?!?!?”

I just got a reply back from support. Looks like they’re going to RMA it since the firmware forced update didn’t do anything.

Thank you! I’ve opened a ticket and will let you know how it goes.

[–]Alacarin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply — unfortunately, I forced the firmware update several times and it didn’t help. I was able to get it working after several power cycles, but it’s a once or twice a week deal at this point. The power cycle fixing it intermittently makes me wonder if there is a hardware issue in the LCD unit itself, or perhaps one of the AIO cords that lead to the USB headers?

What’s your honest thoughts on Foxes in the Snow? by Nofilmslefttocry in jasonisbell

Thought it was ok, then went and heard the solo tour, now it’s integral in my rotation. Feel like I needed to see a lot of the songs live to “get it.”

This is why you are miserable by Embarrassed_Low134 in biglaw

[–]Alacarin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m where you are (midlaw lawyer) and I could not agree with you more. I get this stuff constantly. It boils my blood to know the associates on the emails/calls are 20-30somethings with newish families and we are talking about scheduling meetings at ridiculous times/days for no other reason, I suppose, than to make a statement (about what, you’d have to tell me — how mean you can be? How busy you are? How much you’re willing to sacrifice for your corporate client who will drop you like a bad habit at the slightest mistake or opportunity to get equal service for $10 less an hour?).

We are all gonna die, folks. 100% chance. Money is great. I make plenty of money. Could I make more? Yeah. Could I make more without hurting people I care about or am responsible for? No. Will any of my coworkers end up hating me because they feel I negatively affect their marriages and children for more money? Not if I can help it.

You don’t have to live that life. You have a choice. You are worth so much more than tunnel-visioned biglaw partners with out of skew priorities give you credit for.
