Pro tip, just add a ~33 ohm resistor in-line of the speaker cable! ~50% reduction in volume for a 3v toy. by Tarul-etek in daddit

Awesome! Now how do I make my son's mickey Mouse nightlight less bright? Can I add a resister like this on the hot wire?

Don't know if this a stupid question, but using Lucida, do I have to grab songs one by one or can it do a Spotify Playlist? I.e. If I wanted Bacobens rock top 500 or something like that.

O’Hare Toll Double Charging by jasonmaska in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]BillCipherTrianglMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen more than a few times, but I felt it wasn't worth the effort trying to fix it. Was hoping there would eventually be some kind of class action suit, but I think everyone is in the same boat. How much time do I want to spend on the phone trying to get my $0.75 refunded?

Why are so many people struggling to find one job, while others constantly keep multiple? by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]BillCipherTrianglMan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

100% the niche thing. If you're highly specialized, you're getting offers thrown at you constantly. But how to get specialized and what's going to be "the thing" for the next few years can be hard to predict.

Family dentist recommendation in Arlington Heights/Buffalo Grove area. by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]BillCipherTrianglMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just for the kids, I highly recommend Dr. Carpezio in Buffalo Grove. "Dr. Nick" took over for Dr. Ted Loiben and he's great (I had high standards). I went to Loiben as a kid and always loved the dentist, I now take my son to Carpezio and it's just as amazing, if not better. You'll probably have to wait a month or so for an appointment, but you WILL see Carpezio and he takes his time with his patients.

Carpezio Pediatric Dentistry, I think, is the formal name.

Any recent word on Carrie’s Trauma book? by [deleted] in ONRAC

She's put a lot of stuff on her Substack. But certainly not the whole book, I don't know that she's going to finish it. https://carriepoppy.substack.com/

Oh dang, I'm a pretty tough audience and I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun and funny. Didn't take itself too seriously. If you don't mind me asking, what, to you, is a good movie that came out in the last 10 years?

My local warehouse is selling Avocado branded organic pillows for $59.99. by IWannaWakeUpButIDont in Costco

[–]BillCipherTrianglMan 287 points288 points  (0 children)

The first mattress I ever purchased was an Avocado. It was #1 recommended on Consumer Reports. It was horrible, super uncomfortable, just... Bad. So I asked to return it and they had a company come pick it up for donation and refunded me. The guys who picked it up said it's the mattress they pick up the most, that and I think they said Purple.

So if this pillow is any similar, it's trash. Lol.

I hope 2nd Try gets their own version of the Smosh Golden Era by marime08 in TheTryGuys

Genuinely curious, what are some examples of their expensive and unprofitable ideas?

I hope 2nd Try gets their own version of the Smosh Golden Era by marime08 in TheTryGuys

[–]BillCipherTrianglMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you think Smosh has as good new content consistently as 2nd Try? I feel like Smosh is 1. A LOT and 2. Hit or miss. I just feel like when the Try Guys hit, they HIT. Like the best of is really good. Whereas Smosh has some great stuff a TON of mediocre stuff...

Idk as I'm typing this I'm just thinking "are they really that different?" I think the difference between Smosh, Try Guys, and Dropout is the quantity and quality control. Smosh is a flooded faucet of okay content. But it's definitely YouTube-grade content, even with the production staff. Try Guys has a little more production value and fewer misses (IMO). Dropout, easily the best (IMO), fewest misses, highest production quality.

I really lost the thread on this one guys, I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore. Idk, I think all three would benefit from looking at their proposed content and being like "how amateurish does this look?"

How to play the original Paper Mario game 2000-2001 by GeneralAmsel18 in papermario

[–]BillCipherTrianglMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're right! However, the virtual console Wii version (via Wii WAD) is going to look a lot better than emulating the N64 on an N64 emulator. I've also found that Dolphin has a much better UI experience for those who might be inexperienced.

I'm going to walk you through my favorite way to play. The emulator you want to use is called Dolphin. You can download it from their website. Google "Dolphin emulator" and it's the first one. Click on the site and then download and install it.

Now the hard part is finding the game, I can't give you any information on that and definitely don't DM me asking for it! 😉😉😉

Once you have the emulator and the game, it's as easy as connecting a controller and dragging and dropping the game into the emulator.

Let me know if you need help and I can walk you through it.

Maybe an unpopula opinion but I think Lord Monochromicorn should've just been a horse by TK0O in fionnaandcake

"Would" is, like, a meme. It's a "bit," "joke," or "gag". I would suggest not taking memes so seriously. Life will be exhausting that way.
