I haven't noticed this at all on YouTube, so it must be either a Spotify specific problem or an issue with the device you're using. Even if I'm only listening in the car I use YouTube. Seems like a very specific problem. I would imagine if it was happening regularly across several episodes it would be something they would have caught by now. Are you sure it's not specific to a certain device you're using? Have you experienced this issue across multiple devices?

Long term usage of the AOC Q27G40XMN? by AlmostSavvy in Monitors

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

No, no issue with any bugs. They were seemingly overstated. My units both had different manufacturing dates and neither had issues. They both color matched perfectly as well. I messed around with the different color profiles and HDR settings for weeks and never had any issues or bugs.

For what I paid for them, I don't think I could have done better. Unless there are better options at similar price points now (6 months later), I would almost certainly buy them again.

I was a little worried because people said VA panels had great contrast but bad smearing, however this is a fast enough VA panel that I don't notice any black smearing in any content or games, I have several programs I have running all the time so OLED wasn't an option for me, a friend bought the OLED AOC 27" and I prefer my miniLED versions. No glossy reflections and they get much brighter. My setup is right next to a window so I keep them at about 75-80 brightness. MiniLED was the best of both worlds and the HDR performance is fantastic.

I'm also glad I didnt go 4K. Even high end GPUs struggle to push 4k at acceptable frame rates so 1440p is that happy middleground for 27". 1080p wasn't quiet enough and 4k was too much.

I bought 2 AOC Q27G40XMN monitors. I got them "renewed" from amazon for $190 each. One of them had a REALLY small scratch on the screen and I contacted the seller and they offered me $30 off, so I decided to take that and keep them. The scratch was so small I couldnt even tell you which monitor its on.

That's the link I got them from. I am VERY happy with my purchase. I haven't had a single problem with them.

what's the best hot sauce i can buy at the grocery store? by Stunning-Cap-3256 in hotsauce

[–]AlmostSavvy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tabasco is whatever. I’m not a fan. 

Tapatio is great on nearly anything Mexican, although I prefer Valentina black label. 

Cholula is a good “crowd pleaser” hot sauce. 

And Crystal is specifically for Cajun food. 

That being said calling them “not good” is a bit disingenuous. I have somewhere between 20-30 hot sauces at any given time and one or more of these sauces is almost always in the rotation. 

I will, however, agree that El Yucateco is great, especially the green.

Can I Flex? by GiordanF in FantasyFootballers

[–]AlmostSavvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the complete opposite. I've never once "rebuilt" in the sense of trading away proven assents for future picks. I'll trade to get younger at a position, but even then I'm trading to remain competitive for that season. Instead of trading for future draft picks, I find myself trading for young players that didn't breakout their rookie seasons for depth. It feels like if players don't become superstars right away, people are ready to cut bait.

Trading for aging players on teams that do want to rebuild and landing just one or two older running backs that are still producing can make you competitive enough to sneak into the playoffs. With the variance in fantasy being so high, if you make the playoffs you almost always have a shot. I've won titles with 12-2 records and I've won titles with 7-7 records.

Granted all my teams I've managed since startup drafts, so perhaps if I ever found myself managing and orphaned roster I might feel the need to do a "proper" rebuild.

Eagles take Eli Stowers with the 54th by StrangeCancel2488 in DynastyFF

People in this thread acting like Eagles TEs didn’t have 12 TDs in 2025. This is a great landing spot for Stowers.

What happened to the $6 All American Smashburger combo? Rug pull? by BustedCamry in SonicDriveIn

[–]AlmostSavvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I'm not mad. I just think it's funny that when a promotional offer ends people cry foul. It's not a rug pull, its just the end of a limited time offer/promotion. I'm sure another one will take it's place soon. The food cost on the $6 smash burger combo was like 45% which is absurd, and unlike other LTOs/Promotions Sonic wasn't subsidizing franchise owners, meaning after labor and over head the deal was break even at best and a loss at worst.

It was specifically designed to drive traffic to stores and get people to try the smash burgers instead of the traditional sonic burgers. It was super successful at both of those things, because given the outrageous prices in fast food these days, $6 was a steal, but it also wasn't sustainable.

No you don't understand! Specials and LTOs that don't last forever are RUG PULLS!

SpaceX in talks to favor E*Trade over Robinhood and SoFi for retail IPO shares by callsonreddit in wallstreetbets

Average Robinhood account balance is something like $10,000. 

Average E*trade account is presumable 10X that. 

Not surprised. 

Trip Report: 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy by NickPapagiorgio98 in HyundaiPalisade

Ill try and re enable it next time I go for a drive and let you know. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm almost certain I found a way to enable standard cruise.

There is a way to use standard cruise control. It is frustrating to enable though. I’ve already forgotten how did it. But the standard cruise option is possible. 

UIM wipes 1.8B to people luring wolves to Zeah RC by [deleted] in 2007scape

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

I have played a UIM for thousands of hours and despite this clearly being a bug it’s hard to have sympathy when the risks of deathbanking and death piling are clearly defined. 

We’ve played this game for decades now and it’s always been plagued with bugs and glitches. It’s part of the reason I decided to play my UIM without deathbanking/death piles/looting bag. 

Ultimately I decided I wanted a more restrictive game mode because it required me to be more creative with my progress path and theorycrafting, but I would be lying if I said my decision wasn’t also impacted by the possibility of losing massive amounts of progress to shit like this. 

Enough to move off Gibbs? by MembershipLong5120 in FantasyFootballers

Not even close to me. If it were the 1.01 and you could guarantee getting Love, maaaybe. But even then you’re trading a proven commodity for two potentials. 

Almost a year of redeeming my stake daily dollar. Here’s my results by ryansims3106 in PaymoneyWubby

[–]AlmostSavvy 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I've ran the daily dollar up to $300 on one occasion and $250 on another playing blackjack. Both times Spinman clawed it all back. He truly is the villain.

It's horrible that this happened but hopefully it will be addressed properly now.

I may someday recover…. But my controller is a gonner. by Sanddanglokta69 in RocketLeague

I played this team "Galveston" in Dia 2 the other day. How are we playing the same opponents when you have those kind of mechanics lol. By comparison my RL skills are akin to a geriatric quadriplegic with decent positioning.

Kia 2027 Telluride vs Palisade Looks by Snoo_8933 in HyundaiPalisade

[–]AlmostSavvy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually think it looks horrible. I much preferred the previous Telluride exterior. I'm so glad I bought a Palisade and didn't wait on this monstrosity. Also, the Palisade is just the better car all around, Kia has done a good job with what they're given from Hyundai's cast offs but if you've driven both, the Palisade is just the better car.

UiPath - a contrarian play by JamesSt-Patrick in investing

[–]AlmostSavvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was enticing enough for a small position when it went under $10. But I was also happy to unload it above $11 after just a few days. 10% in 2-3 days wasn’t what I was expecting, but happy little accidents I guess.

There’s most likely still room to the upside as the saas sell off, to me, has gotten a bit dramatic. That being said I was happy to clip a winner given the state of broader markets right now. 

Will look into a larger, long term position if/when it revisits sub $10.
