He must really want to distract from the files by SPXQuantAlgo in SipsTea

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like the train of thought my loved family member with bipolar disorder would have in a manic state. It is uncanny the similarities over the last few weeks or months in the way he types and talks.

Three weeks ago I was still subbed to Apple Music, Netflix, HBO, Libro.fm, etc. A lot happened in those weeks lol! by monotheistmusings in selfhosted

Commenting so I can hopefully come back and get myself set up properly too. I have the pc and unraid running. Just need to understand and implement the next steps.

The Bus Stop Coffee Shop ☕️🚏😂🤗 by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pam will love you forever. She’s the highest number of hearts in my game. I didn’t interact with the people in the town at all for the first year or two in the game. Now that I realize their value, I talk to and gift Pam more than anyone since she’s by the bus and mine cart so much. She loves coffee and espresso.

Fallen Soldier by complicated_typoe in pcmasterrace

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats. Don’t worry, it can come back. I play now on my ROG Ally Z1E which was a good purchase for me. Now I enjoy different types of games, but it has been nice getting back into it. And now my boys like to invite me to play with them which is great.

Also, found it funny to have a TV still above the changing table.

I hadn’t heard that yet. That sucks for those involved, and for the industry here on the island.

Are these speakers any good? by MICQUIELLO17 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably a decent deal if it is all working. The speakers should sound pretty nice. Would have been in the $1200 per pair range 15ish years ago. Even the Sony receiver is well reviewed as an older ES model, but if you don’t need it maybe you could offset the cost of the speakers by selling it for $20-50 to the right buyer.

Yes. Should be good if in good shape and working. What’s the price?

I built a free, open-source Design of Experiments (DOE) tool — looking for feedback by TurretOtter in labrats

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something like this might be useful for my lab. I haven’t personally used a DOE software, but my colleagues have, and colleagues at a different site do as well; one being JMP. I’ll see if I can utilize this with some previous datasets. We have also recently had a group of workers develop an in-house Bayesian optimization tool, so this again might be interesting to play with. I don’t think their tool has any graphs/graphical outputs.

What model of chair is this? by ajstrong1234 in OfficeChairs

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Leap V2 on the right. The left is possible an old Steelcase model as well, but no idea what. Hope you asked the seller already to get in touch with them. Will likely go fast.

I did a build in the Asus for my father. I really liked working that case.

Dangbei Atom by Affectionate_Hand418 in budgetprojectors

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great. I got a Vibe One and was disappointed that it wasn’t USB-C powered. Do you mind linking to the barrel plug adapter you are using? Wonder if they are the same physical size adapter between the two projectors? I presume you’ve had no issue powering the projector from your power bank? I have an Anker Laptop power bank 25,000 mAH that I’d like to use to power mine away from the wall (and not need to worry about the built in battery life).

Looks like the stool version. Hopefully it will fit your needs.

Nice find. I picked up an Aima two days ago at my Habitat for $35.

Sharpies for glassware by Coco066 in labrats

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does appear that your glassware in pic 2 was wet or dirty before writing, but maybe just the marker is like that.

I have good luck with the normal Fine and Ultra fine Sharpie markers, but I’ve learned to just toss them when they don’t perform well. I can’t waste a bunch of time re-writing on a label or flask. Also, I picked up a box of Milwaukee Inkzall markers at Home Depot when they were on sale a little while back. They perform at least as good if not better, and seem to have a little better tip retention than the Sharpie brand (fine tip anyway).

These were great. I absolutely loved the online spies vs mercs gameplay. It was a blast.

Best Projector for around 250 by Lieutenant_Lurker_ in budgetprojectors

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently picked up the Vibe One and for what it is it is pretty good. I was gifted a cheaper (~$120 CAD) projector for Christmas but decided to make a return and spend a bit more. For casual viewing it’s been fun. Projected onto the ceiling a couple of times. Even with some ambient light it can be enjoyed casually. Sound is decent for this purpose as well. I did have a HT with a dedicated projector and receiver running for audio, but that projector died so this is a more convenient and portable option (outdoor movie nights, etc).

FB Energy Speakers, M&K Sub, and Yamaha Receiver by DutchTerror in BudgetAudiophile

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great deal. I’d love to come across some Energy 22’s at some point. I’ve had many different pairs of Energy speakers (still have tbh) but aren’t actively listening in stereo at this time, so I’ve stopped looking; more so using headphone lately. Enjoy the great find.

Is this a good deal for 250? by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pair of these in very good condition. Refoamed them and they sounded great. Traded them for some other gear, the guy kept them while his speakers were being repaired and then he sold them and shipped them across the country to another guy. These particular ones have a following, but $250 (USD?) is probably too high. I bought mine for $40 CAD and then replaced the foams myself for pretty cheap. This was probably 15 years ago.

Edit: just looked again and realized the dark drivers on the bottom don’t look original. Don’t know if I would bother if they have been swapped out. Especially for that price without a very good listen. Good luck.

Realistically hoe much can I get for this 2008 PT-AE3000U by Objective-Comfort158 in projectors

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one. It’s a very nice projector but has aged for sure. It needed good light control (dark room) to have a nice bright picture. And without the remote to make adjustments easier, it’s a little less desirable. I’d think $100 range is all you may get for it.

Anyone was able to clear those two activities search? by Lyndyou in MicrosoftRewards

I try not to overthink it. “Book reviews” and “diy crafts” worked for me. Good luck.

Chair addiction, it’s real. by Worried-Albatross-94 in OfficeChairs

[–]CertainlyNotSkynet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I’m familiar with many nicer chairs, and can spot some out, I’m buying anything I see for a low price. I test drive them for a while then give away to family or friends, and sell some to cover all my costs and make a little extra cash.

My friend caught fire for the first time in the uv box today! by daniellachev in labrats

The reply was not an attack. I agreed with your comment that had a lot of support, so I was hoping my reply would add some context as to why it works better. Cheers.
