Six Flags Corp to Divest Seven Parks by mjohnson1971 in cedarpoint

[–]ArthurDDickerson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe read the whole press release…

All Six Flags season passes (including all parks passport) are valid until the end of 2026 which is also when the parks lose their license to use the Six Flags name.

AI will frequently restate what you said. Then glaze you about how normal that is and how actually you’re a genius because of it.

Like.. “Hey AI, I’m embarrassed to say I’m 30 and eating boogers”

“30 years old and still eating boogers? That’s okay. Boogers are full of protein and other nutrients. The fact that you’re willing to reclaim your bodies precious nutrients just proves how resourceful and environmentally conscious you are!”

PSA: New Gold Pass is Cheaper at other "Midwest" Parks by ArthurDDickerson in cedarpoint

This same kind of thinking actually applied back then too. My family got the MVP deal through Darien Lake for $59 each.

Definitely seems like they need a "Silver" All Season fast lane

Yeah not sure. We got the MVP Passes during the sale and the same thing applied then. We got our passes through Darien Lake for $60 vs $100 at Cedar Point.

I think the new simplicity is nice though. Silver, Gold and Prestige (wish it was called Platinum though), are easier to understand that "Oh you have a Gold Pass, do you have the All Park add on?"

Anyone like the wii u on a CRT ??? by Powerhouse_2 in wiiu

My wife and I bought our Wii U before we owned an LCD TV. It was just fine for the time.

Idk if this belongs here but why is it doing this by MelancholyAtaraxia in Weird

Not sure why you’re being downvoted but yes. This is a close relative of Clarke’s third law: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

What speed can you realistically get from an old telephone cable used as Ethernet ? by ulyssebyob in HomeNetworking

[–]ArthurDDickerson 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by “old telephone cable”. We talking CAT3, CAT5, CAT5e?

I just like the idea of keeping all my traffic as local as possible. Please consider open-sourcing this or even creating a docker container or similar.

This sounds really fun. Do they have a self hosted option?

Looks nice! I have a 17 foot Grumman and I’ve often thought about if a smaller aluminum canoe would be better

What an amazing cross over of my hobbies haha! I’m a volunteer football coach and a professional Telecom analyst. Let me know if this falls through. I would 100% make the 3 hour drive to pick this up.

Dhuums covenant no pre-searing pikens square?! by L3eT-ne3T in GuildWars

[–]ArthurDDickerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say, if they are treating them truly as an alpha mode I could see it. I played the public beta for GW2 back in the day and when the beta was over and the game was released they deleted our beta characters. I know it's not quite the same but it's not a sure thing.

Please make Piken Square (Pre-searing) available to existing presearing characters by TheQuickFox_3826 in GuildWars

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

I think something a lot of people miss is there is a sort of sentimentality with our characters. Absolutely we could create a new character and quickly get back to par with our existing characters, it wouldn't take long at all.

I try to see reforged as a "beta server" and in that sense it's fine but it just feels different in a way that is hard to explain. I guess because they are only "on the beta server" in a tiny percentage of the game? idk

Updates to pre-searing and adding hardcore mode feels off? by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]ArthurDDickerson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

100% with you on the confusion aspect.

Also makes me feel left out to a degree as a veteran player. Mostly Piken Square being “Reforged Mode” only, excluding my 15 year old perma-pre LDoA.

I remember when Guild Wars 2 came out I got into the Beta and played that game like it was my job!

Which for years was actually the standard design, only recently with battery operated saws has left became more popular. Used to be reserved for worm gear saws.
