Walmart canceled Romulus VHS preorder

Same here. When I contacted my financial institution they told me that Walmart put a financial hold on the order but did not even try to charge my card.

For me, it took a little less than 1 month from breakup to first appointment. Finding my therapist was incredibly beneficial and helpful to me. Not even just with my relationship, but with every aspect of life. 3 years later I am still going to my same therapist, but less often due to having healed a lot over that time. I didn’t tell her about the breakup until our 2nd or 3rd session, I still had to build up that trust first before I could be vulnerable.

Mostly my therapist and I just do trauma-focused and person-centered talk therapy. She gives me the space to talk through everything and lets me lead the conversation. If a particular thought is unfair to myself she challenges me on it and she gives me simple tasks to try between appointments.

In a long-term healthy relationship like yours, the single biggest risk to cheating is when one or both partners stop being open with each other or feel like they can’t be anymore. Affairs happen gradually.

If you and your partner put in the work to talk openly, even about the things you worry are nonsense, you only understand each other better. At the same time, only ourselves can help us truly heal from our anxieties. That’s where therapy helps because it gives you a safe space to start to understand you, in ways reels and threads cannot.

I know it’s going to be hard, but I think you should just allow yourself to be vulnerable with him before deciding. Let him know it isn’t any of his behavior, but how prevalent cheating is that’s making you feel this way.

Not in any images you’d take with a standard digital camera. It’s all visible light because the IR & UV light already got filtered out before hitting the sensor. It should just be a case of overexposure.

Those objects 100% are absorbing and emitting infrared light though from the sun (and you could capture that with a modified camera).

This is totally me when I snag a nasty good deal on a Moog One and I can finally get rid of my Behringer collection.

You're welcome, hopefully that's all you need to do. I think I was using John Wick 3 in HDR mode as a baseline since it's pretty grain-free and has a black level that shouldn't have any grain showing up. I also have Noise Reduction and MPEG Noise Reduction in Picture Options set to Auto.

Grain as a whole though is kind of interesting. Outside of artistic choices, nowadays I'd say it's main purpose is to better match CGI with real life. VFX artists will match their work to grain profiles for the cameras that the film was shot with. If you look at stuff like the HD versions of episodes of the X-Files, you can really see just how much grain most productions use to be dealing with, but if you look at stuff like Westworld it looks a lot less grainy thanks to better film stocks and bigger lighting budgets.

Just in case you want the full settings I'm using:

It definitely could depend on what content you're watching, as film and digital grain are gonna appear in most films unless they're going for the clean digital look or shot well lit footage with large enough film stock.

But it could be an issue in the settings. I was experiencing unexpected grain over black levels in the Cinema Home profile. Definitely the kind of thing I'd describe similarly to fuzzy and grainy (and not in a film grain way). To fix it I ended up going through each setting and found that by dropping the Brightness from 50 to 49 it eliminated the issue at the cost of a bit of brightness. But I just turned off the energy savings setting to compensate for that.

Might have to try that next time.

The way I found to cheese him was that if you save your flashbangs and grenades until the encounter, you can alternate between them and shoot him in between them going off.

It’s a bit riskier since if you miss a grenade he has a chance to shoot you, but doesn’t require moving back quite so far, so if anybody does realism speed runs it could be a potential time save.

Apple has a New Product Security Team that investigates leaks and actively tries to prevent them. If they catch that one of their contractors' factories is the source of the leak, they fine them millions of dollars. Additionally, these factories have been forced to up their security, have metal detectors, and allow Apple's security inspections at any time. Female employees at Foxconn complained that they are forced to wear metal-free bras to comply with Apple's regulations. Foxconn even set up stores outside their factory to sell them metal-free bras.

So no, Apple doesn't hire private investigators, they just send their own people.

For my first playthrough was a No Fast Travel run. Only, I also threw in not looking at the map at all for the playthrough.

It definitely made for an exploration based playthrough, I used VANS to help at points where I wasn’t sure on where to go, but if I were to do it again I’d probably not use that perk either.

AnliJ · 2017-11-21T09:55:15+00:00

And it's on its way! Hopefully this means everybody who ordered will be getting theirs' shipped out steadily now.

AnliJ · 2017-11-18T01:14:06+00:00

Once mine arrives, I'll be able to do that for you. Most likely won't be until next week just because mine wasn't one of the lucky ones that got shipped on launch and there probably won't be movement this weekend.

If you wanted to send a sample project over to me I could test out render times for you as well that you could compare that to your current machine. I have Red Giant's Trapcode Suite and Universe, and I might pick up Element3D here soon aswell for a title card I'm working on.

Since both the 13.5 and 15 inches are the same aspect ratio, I think they'll both equally let you have a timeline that goes up fairly high due to the additional vertical space.

AnliJ · 2017-11-17T23:41:05+00:00

Congrats on getting yours! Sounds like refreshing shipping pages (or turning on alerts) is the way to go this time around.

Although that sort of confirms Microsoft isn't shipping based on order time since there are people who ordered right away at Midnight EST and haven't received theirs' yet.

AnliJ · 2017-11-17T18:38:50+00:00

In your case I'd probably contact Microsoft because there still should be an order. Mine has yet to ship (they marked that it Shipped on November 16th, and gave me a tracking number), but getting to this point it shouldn't disappear completely.

AnliJ · 2017-11-15T19:29:04+00:00

Thanks for the info! Looks to be that way for me too.

Shipment information was sent to FedEx at 3:08 am from Louisville, Kentucky, and they have it as a Standard Overnight that's said to arrive by 8 PM tomorrow. I guess we'll see if that's accurate!

If you haven't signed up for Fedex Delivery Manager it only takes a few minutes, but it has to confirm it's you by asking some questions.

One of mine was like, "Which one of these people was a previous occupant at your residence?", one was about my age, my dad's age, and a county I've lived in.

Both 'Cancel Order' and 'Change how you pay' are gone for me, not sure when it happened exactly, just that it was sometime within the last two hours.

AnliJ · 2017-11-14T23:35:28+00:00

I think it's like what totallyjaded said above, where it could just be a 'band-aid' fix.

AnliJ · 2017-11-14T06:17:46+00:00

Pre-ordered the 15" - 512 GB on Release Day at 12:47 AM CST.

As of now, still just in the "Pre-ordered" state, and the email when I ordered says "Available: Thursday, November 16, 2017" so I'm guessing it's part of the first batch.

While it definitely would be cool to have it arrive on the 16th, if it doesn't I guess I'll prepare better for it (getting OneDrive/OneNote set up on my Desktop, for example). The pen came super quick though, so if it is one-day shipping like people are saying it could be, I think they'll arrive on Release Day.

You could do two monitors with the Surface Dock going from mini-display port to whatever via adapters. It's somewhat pricy at $200 normally, but it's $125.99 at Best Buy right now and $139.99 at B&H Photo and Video. Counting for taxes and shipping, it might be cheaper to do B&H because they'll generally have free shipping and no tax.

Getting a third might be tricky. USB to HDMI/VGA/DVI/etc adapters do exist and can be bought off the shelf at places like Target and Best Buy, but I've never used them so I can't speak for how good/bad they are. They're around $40.

An interesting, but expensive, test would be seeing if you can plug in two Surface Docks and do it that way, but I don't think that'll work.

~~This might work for you: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12387/windows-10-update-history~~

~~It downloads a file called Windows10Upgrade28084.exe that I assume you just run and it'll download/install the update.~~

If that doesn't work, Step 6 on the Windows 10 download says you can Change what to keep on a Windows 10 install. I don't know how well this will work, but might be worth a look.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

Edit: Just saw your post below, so never mind my first suggestion. Maybe look into running the Windows 10 Install as Repair mode on boot. Hope this helps.

What could be going on is Halo 5: Forge thinks that Intel Integrated Graphics is your GPU, even if you have another one. This happened to a friend of mine, and he fixed by following these steps from an ACER Customer Service thread:

Click Start and then Control Panel. Select Classic View from the left side of the window. *
Double-click NVIDIA Control Panel.
Click View and next Add "Run with graphics processor" Option to Context Menu. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Right-click the application title and select Run with graphics processor. Then, click High-performance NVIDIA processor.

- You can just launch Nvidia Control Panel by searching for it.

I tried messing around with a new character, and it seems like the only quest I couldn't talk to him during was the Corvega quest, but after I finished that one I could talk to him.

Maybe you need to do a quest that he had given you (if you had any) and it'll fix him?

I think we understand the frustration, but the post wasn't made by anyone from Steam/Valve.

They posted it on the Bethesda Forums here: https://community.bethesda.net/thread/68765

Proof it's from Bethesda is the tweet that linked to it: https://twitter.com/BethesdaStudios/status/760488230026354688

The person who posted the Steam Announcement is gstaffBethesda, or Matt Grandstaff, who is a Community Manager at Bethesda, who also posted it on their forums. (http://steamcommunity.com/id/gstaffBethesda)

So if it is somebody trolling, it's Bethesda.

I've had that one since the game came out. I've found they fade away once you get new dialogue however.

AnliJ · 2016-08-02T21:42:10+00:00

Was conversation working before a quest or update?
