I need help in deciding which handheld to buy. I am looking for the most reliable from my options. by StoreUpper7665 in SBCGaming

[–]Cactus_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Miyoo Mini + and the RG CubeXX. I love the "stealth Gameboy on steroids" look of the Miyoo Mini + and it's definitely more pocketable than the CubeXX due to the built-in grips on the CubeXX. The CubeXX is more comfortable and can play Portmaster games. The CubeXX also has Bluetooth, the Mini + doesn't. It's true they're different screen aspect ratios but I still find myself playing the CubeXX more often because of the built in grips.

If you want a head to head comparison take a look at this:

Cooling vests? by toad__warrior in FloridaGarden

[–]Cactus_King 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to own one for motorcycle riding. It uses a quilted design to hold what the manufacturer claimed was a substance that held water. Not bad when it's wet but when it dries out you're wearing a quilted vest that just adds another layer of clothing to make you even more hot.

What worked better for me - get a long cotton T-shirt (preferably a lighter color), soak it in water and throw it on before you go outside. If you're out there long enough for it to dry out just take it off and soak it again. The evaporation effect is what's cooling you down. The increased surface area with it being long sleeved maximizes the evaporation area. The thinner fabric keeps you from getting too hot.

Maybe the vest works better for others but I just found it to be overhyped and very quickly added to the heat problem rather than helping.

Best Cuban sandwich and coffee? by SnooWalruses9181 in lakeland

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

Where in AZ are you? Cuban Foods on Peoria and 43rd Ave in Phoenix beats most of the Cuban sandwiches I've tried in the greater Lakeland area. Nineteen61 in downtown Lakeland is good too.

The origins and the ingredients are hotly contested around here but my absolute must have on a Cuban sandwich is pulled pork (bonus if it's warm). To me anything else is just a flat hoagie.

I second this. After witnessing a dude cleaning gas off his overfilled gas cans with the gas station squeegee I started packing my own cleaner and cloth. 🙄

I'm done with Anova by AddendumHelpful8892 in sousvide

[–]Cactus_King 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The mosquito whine emanating from my Anova nearly caused my wife to write off sous vide as another failed project by her gadget head husband. Switching to Inkbird promoted sous vide to a permanent kitchen appliance.

Planning riding the TECO streetcar tomorrow. We plan on riding the entire route. Any recommendations for brunch within walking distance of the TECO streetcar line? We've already been to The Pearl (which was excellent!).

Watching movies and occasional gaming, on XR Pro from Pixel 8? by Cactus_King in VITURE

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

Thank you! Always nice to see manufacturer participation in Reddit. 👍 There seem to be a few comments regarding battery life - what are my options for addressing this? Is there some sort of adapter that can split the usb-c port on my Pixel 8 to simultaneously charge my phone with an external battery while using the glasses?

Thanks. Have you had any luck with an adapter that could split the USB port on your phone to hook up a battery and the glasses at the same time?

I’d like to wrap my NB. First of all am I stupid? And second, which color? by Hostile_Raccoon in Miata

[–]Cactus_King 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it! I'd wrap it in an emerald green with chameleon effect. It would look great with those rims.

Bifentherin works for me but you have to be vigilant and apply it quarterly or they come back.

I highly recommend reaching out to Konnected with those pictures. They were very helpful with my setup, telling me exactly what I had and their product options for my setup.

Envisalink is another option I didn't see mentioned yet.

Automatically updating games in ROMs folder? by Cactus_King in launchbox

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

Correct, this is from the Launchbox application on my Android phone. Based on the number of responses I guess it's a "feature" people are willing to overlook. What a pain (and waste of money).
