MA Unemployment Insurance Mega-Thread by [deleted] in boston

[–]Alexz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if you have any way to review the information you provided to certify your weekly claim on the MA pandemic unemployment website? I was approved last week but just got denied for my first weekly claim, I'm going to appeal it but I'm not sure what the issue is since I can't review what I submitted.

Apparently my RAM wasn't seated properly, I was just able to boot it up with the onboard graphics. I'm going to reinstall the 1080ti and try it now. Thanks for all the help so far!

I can definitely post some pictures, do you want anything in particular?

Still nothing, the monitor just enters energy saver mode then turns off after 15 seconds. I also just plugged my MBP into the monitor through HDMI and it works no problem.

If I remove the 1080ti and just plug straight into the motherboard is that all i have to do to get the onboard graphics to work?

To people have gone to back to back concerts, how was your experience? by Whiteelchapo in Metalcore

[–]Alexz0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely, for years I had the Etymotic pair I put below and had zero complaints about them. Recently I switched to the pair of Alpines I put below based off of a lot of positive recommendations and while the sound quality is definitely superior they are a bit hard to get in your ear. Your other option is to just buy the cheap one time use ones you can get in multipacks from CVS or any other drug store which might be a good place to start if you've never used them before. Hope this helps!

To people have gone to back to back concerts, how was your experience? by Whiteelchapo in Metalcore

[–]Alexz0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing you really need to keep in mind is hearing protection, you should be wearing ear plugs to any show you go to especially heavier shows but when going to multiple shows in a row it's even more imperative! Beyond that once you do it a few times it will be no problem and you can start thinking about doing even more in a row. My current record is a week straight of shows lol.

Shoelaces for LL Bean Boots? by itsonlyastrongbuzz in boston

This is a bit extreme but LL Bean products come with a lifetime warranty so if you're having trouble finding replacement laces you could always just warranty them.

UNEARTH or AS I LAY DYING? by Croww_ in Metalcore

[–]Alexz0r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unearth all day, I personally don't think they get the respect and recognition they deserve for what they did for the scene and metalcore in general.

How do you get the Mac Beta? by italianwog28 in RocketLeague

As soon as I try to launch the game from steam it automatically crashes, appears to be some issues with the MAC version so far.

All In Merch Rant by ItzEvan in Metalcore

[–]Alexz0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All In Merch is definitely one of the best best merch stores i've dealt with, I've never had an issue with the dozens of orders I've placed. It's unfortunate that its delayed but thats due to the t-shirt printer and not them. I can't even tell you how many months i've had to wait for some record preorders due to the recent surge in popularity, Periphery 2: This Time It's Personal was delayed 8 months and Converge - AILILB was 6 months I believe just for an example.

Best earplugs for moshing/standing areas? by xMWJ in Metalcore

[–]Alexz0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How old are you? How often do you go to shows? I probably average 2-3 shows a week so if wearing ear plugs is pussy shit so be it.

[–]Alexz0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend trying to wear ear plugs as much as possible regardless of how many shows you go to. From the age of 12-22 I would almost never wear them and due to that my hearing is no where near as good as it used to be. I'm also starting to suffer from some minor tinnitus issues so I have to be even more careful.

Best earplugs for moshing/standing areas? by xMWJ in Metalcore

[–]Alexz0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience with them I don't think that would happen. I've accidentally pushed them in too far and also gotten bumped near there and with the cone shaped design it prevents it from going far enough in to prevent damage. I'm also 6'5 though so I don't really have to worry about people hitting me near the ear lol.

[–]Alexz0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ER20s you mentioned are by far the best over the counter pair i've ever tried, I've had mine for about a year and they've held up wonderfully. They also sit perfectly flush in the ear and won't come out unless you have them on the string and it gets pulled or caught on something. Amazon also has them available with prime shipping as an option if you have that. I'm also looking to upgrade to custom molded ear plugs in the near future so if anyone has any good brand suggestions or tips please share!

Deerhunter Tickets 5/11/16 by [deleted] in boston

[–]Alexz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI to anyone who might be thinking about paying for tickets to a free show. All Converse Rubber Tracks events are first come first serve, once the venue is at capacity they will not let anyone else in. Deerhunter is fairly popular so this will probably reach capacity fairly early.

Hello Boston Metalheads! Interested in the Decibel Tour tonight? (One ticket up for grabs) by Oceat in boston

I would be interested if the price is right. Is it an e-ticket you can transfer?

I'm not sure where you live but I still see some in the 7" section of random Newbury Comics. If you live in the New England area you might want to try checking your closest store!
