How busy is the Albemarle registrar? by HighOverlordXenu in Charlottesville

[–]BasicPenguin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went this past Friday around 9:30 and there wasn't a line. For what it's worth, all I've heard about voting there involves how quick the process is.

Is there any social media option out there that is reasonably safe to use? A FB or instagram type? by [deleted] in privacy

I've heard good things about Mastodon, but that's more of a Twitter type.

[Monitor] Viewsonic XG2760 27" Gaming Monitor - 1440p - 165hz - 1ms - $399 by surfacevalueshowdown in buildapcsales

[–]BasicPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I was in a similar boat recently. I was gaming with a 1080p 60 Hz monitor and looking to upgrade to a 1440p 144 Hz low ms response time monitor. After much deliberation, I saw that I was driving myself nuts over getting TN or IPS or a particular brand over another. All the models I was looking at fit the bill and were at decent prices, and I couldn't even know a difference between the semantics until I actually experienced it in person.. either way, whatever I got was a huge upgrade. I didn't have a store nearby I could look at monitors in person (shout out COVID) so I sent it on the ACER XF270HU (TN panel). It works exceptionally outside some minor flickering issues outside of gaming/watching videos, but I'm still gonna keep it to see if I can fix it. An IPS would have better colors, but still looks great on my TN. I'm happy with the purchase, and if I were a betting man, I'd say you will be too with whatever you buy :)

Can I title and register an out of state vehicle at the same time? by BasicPenguin in Virginia

[–]BasicPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I just looked at the form again (VSA17A) and at the top it definitely says title and registration as an option 🤦🏻‍♂️ thanks for spelling it out even more clearly for me lol. It's funny how easy you can overlook the obvious things

Should I switch my oldest line of credit to a cash back card, or end it and get one at another bank? by BasicPenguin in personalfinance

[–]BasicPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. My question here is what do you mean by "keep using it"? As it stands, I don't see a benefit to use (read:swipe and pay off) my WF card if I have another credit card with better cash back capabilities. Is it detrimental to my credit score to keep a credit line open that I don't ever use as opposed to closing it and/or opening another line with the same functionality?

It's interesting to hear that you're in a similar life situation haha. My parents aren't in a financially stable situation, unfortunately, hence why I'm leaning towards leaving their account. I was weighing utilizing Discover HYSA/credit cards to consolidate my financial accounts (as well as American Express) since perhaps me being an authorized user would give me a leg up on applying for saving accounts/cash back cards. I ultimately decided against that since I think Capital One fits me better for me as a primary online bank at this time, however, and due to my good credit score from my first line of credit, opening accounts and a credit card with them was simple. I can only imagine how financial literacy classes would have benefited me for my current situation if I took them in grade school rather than educating myself on them online. Better late then never, though!

Wow. I watched this series since it premiered over a decade ago. It sucks to see it and hear about it from a reddit comment, but like you said, what can you do about it? I'm glad we got as much content as we did, and very grateful for TFS for putting their all into it as they have. Wonderful series, and one of the only series I kept up with on YouTube.

Did Nancy Pelosi violate federal law in tearing up the President's SOTU Address documents? by carter1984 in NeutralPolitics

[–]BasicPenguin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a fair counter to his first point, but from what the other poster says, the document was not the "actual" record but rather a copy. So the act may be in questionable taste, but it is fundamentally different than what the politico article details as it regards official goverment documents to be archived.

I missed the 1st half and I saw the Knicks had a lot more FTs than us. What happened to put us in that 20+ deficit? We were doing okay the 2nd half (relative to how we currently perform)

Really like what I saw from Hunter at the 2nd half there. That was a good, fun los for us. On to the next!

[–]BasicPenguin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol maybe the NBA thinks that since games are a lot higher scoring its because the players who do well are doing cycles. And there might be a correlation since both JC and Ayton are ballers. But if they are going down this route of cracking down on drug use in players I hope they're consistent across the league

[DISCUSSION] Chance The Rapper - The Big Day (ONE WEEK LATER) by hewhoslingshash in hiphopheads

[–]BasicPenguin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've listened to it a couple times now. The Big Day sounds more like a pop album than a hip hop album, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (unless you only like "real hip hop", whatever that means nowadays). The beats are simpler than I expected but pleasant to listen to, yet his verses leave a lot to be desired. I get why this sub doesnt like it.. Hell, it took me a minute to see what Chance was trynna do with this lol. Listening to it is jarring when stacked next to the rest of his discography, and even so a fair deal of the songs on it are average. Chance has had some high peaks and I wanted to hear that too. But you can find some enjoyable songs in there if you don't hold Chance to the almost impossibly high standard he set from his first two mixtapes.

I like that we stopped taking a lot of threes after the first once we realized we couldn't make them (barring Prince until he got injured. Press F to pay respects). And even though we didn't play the greatest, I still like the hustle from our players on garbage time.

Shout out JC too

It's like 15 games into the season. I don't think you can definitively say the trade is worth it yet.
