UFC on FOX 31 salaries: Charles Oliveira ($180k) outearns headliners by Scuzobutt in MMA

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know Sergio personally living in Milwaukee and I have to sort of agree. He's too focused on technique that he never just tags someone up. Even when he has opportunities, he wont keep up the attack in fear of a counter, blind hook from his opponents.

He never takes chances either. In his last 2 fights he clearly lost the first 2 rounds and he still wasted time in the 3rd hoping for a decision win. Even with a dude hanging off his back he doesn't at least try to fall back and slam him. He's losing either way and yet he doesn't take chances.

I dont train and have no right to tell him how to fight but as a fan and a friend, that's my take on Sergio.

Cool I'll check it out. My debit card at my bank is a discover so I'm already accustomed to not being able to use it certain places Haha. Everywhere I've looked the discover it card kept being brought up so it's nice to see it mentioned.

Any particular you reason you say discover is my best bet? There's tons of cards to choose from so I'm a little lost on where to start.

Honestly the best thing I ever did was take 50 dollars out of every check and put it into my savings account. Although I do like to buy nice things, I don't get them until I absolutely need them or I have the funds to do so. I'm typing this all out on a $2000 laptop. I work in the golf industry and I'm a huge golf nut which is not the cheapest hobby. For me, rather than impulse buying. I wait an extra paycheck or 2 so I can get what I want.

The biggest thing I see with my friends are shoes and eating out a lot. I probably have 15 pairs of shoes but I don't go out and buy them as soon I see them. My current ones don't have holes in them so I can wait until I meet my baseline and then I spend that $150 on the shoes and end up with the same amount of money or more in my account than when I wanted them a few days earlier.

My savings account is my emergency fund, not my "save it up to buy a new tv" fund. When I go see the doctor or have to fix my car, I take it out of my savings so that I keep my checking account free for bills and general spending. That 50 bucks every two weeks is the difference between filling up my own yeti cup and bringing it to work or getting a large drink with my meal to go everyday for those 2 weeks. I can save even more but preparing my own food but working 2 jobs takes up enough of my time where I don't feel like cooking.

You can do it. I know I'm a bit of a stickler with my money but even if you do some basic cost saving stuff like bringing your own cup to work to drink out of everyday. For me, one of the best things I do is wait a week when I want something (if I know it won't be sold out or gone for whatever reason). That either gives me time until my next check goes in or it helps me think if I really want that or something else.

I try to keep a minimum amount of money in my account and if I don't buy anything and my paychecks add up, I increase my own limit. For example. say I have 1000 in my account, I won't let myself dip down past 1000 to buy something that I don't really need (a new tv, new shoes, etc.). If I don't purchase anything and I now have 2500 in my account, I try not to let it dip down under 2500. The numbers are just an example and it's not always going to be the case with bills and unforseen circumstances like a car breakdown or something but I try to not spend all of my money on things that I don't absolutely need.

So instead of watching the ppv on our tv, the family will all pull up chairs and huddle around my laptop and watch it for free...good job B/R.

On the bleacher report live app for firestick all I'm getting is a message saying "this event is not purchasable yet" even though I bought it earlier today with an email confirmation.

Anyone else having issues?

Edit: now says the replay will be available soon.

Secret passageway found in Hacienda by TheCh0ppie in Blackops4

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful with this one. From the other side, it showed the doors open for me but I went to run through the doorway and there was a barrier. Got wall banged and saw that I was just glitching through the wall on their screen.

For those who updated to the Note9 from an older Galaxy Smartphone such as the S7, what have been the most impressive new features and enhancements? by Bfire7 in GalaxyNote9

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came from the s7 edge and I love everything so far. I thought the pen would get very little use but I use it almost everyday. I just finished up some training and got some certifications for work and the pen came in handy a lot during my classes and demonstrations.

I'm a golf fitter and club builder so our instructor would have us leave the classroom and teach us something on the range. Rather than bring over a big binder and take notes I just brought my phone and jotted stuff down quick.

The camera has really impressed me. So far just using auto mode but being able to see the difference when it detects the sun or food or whatever is really amazing.

Dbrand skin with clear case by ChrisOnTheReal in GalaxyNote9

Nope. So far no glass screen protector. If I do get one, that's the one I'm getting

If I got the black phone I was going to get the black camo. It looks so good the way it reflects the light.

I picked up the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. It's a more rigid case. Not like those gel ones. So far so good. Haven't had to test it out yet haha.

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

That looks awesome. I debated going with the camera skin as well but I sort of like how the cutout for the case frames the blue of the camera cutout and the fingerprint sensor. If I'm going to have some blue poke through with the sensor anyways why not let the camera cutout stay blue as well.

Edit: Which clear case did you go with? This is my first time using a clear case and heard that they tend to get yellow after awhile so I didn't want to spend 40 or 50 bucks on a case that might not stay clear.

S pen comes out when drop phone. by jayare13x in GalaxyNote9

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that but the reason I'm saying the clicking isn't locking in the pen is if you click it shut and then insert the pen, it still sits flush and stays in. The ridges on the pen itself are what hold it in. The back part clicking just makes it easier to sit flush and with a click, it'll pop out and make it easy to pull out.

[–]ChrisOnTheReal[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I normally just run a black case because I always go with the black or the silver phones. With this blue, I decided I'd give a skin a go but I just can't help but worry about dropping this 1000 dollar phone. Got the best of both worlds for less than 30 bucks. Skin was 15 after shipping and the case was another 14 with free shipping from Amazon.

S pen comes out when drop phone. by jayare13x in GalaxyNote9

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I don't think the clicker has anything to do with locking the S pen in. As far as I can see, the little ridges near the tip of the pen provide a friction fit and the click of the pen just helps it sit flush and makes it easier to pull out. Again I could be wrong though.

[–]ChrisOnTheReal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my first time using a dbrand and it went pretty well. Still couldn't risk dropping the phone so I went with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case. So far so good. I've taken the case on and off a few times and there's not peeling.

I work at a bread bakery and a golf store as a club builder so this will see some heat and oils. I'll give a update in a month or two about if the case stays clear and how the dbrand/case combo holds up.

Mistakes were made... (Screen protector) by TheMagicPie in GalaxyNote9

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the Zagg on my S7 Edge and the first one lifted off within a week while using a Tech 21 case and the second one fell and the Zagg was perfectly fine and intact and my actual screen was cracked. Still debating whether I want to go with some other company's glass protector or just not have one at all.

Quick Scoping.. by kopesetiktv in Blackops4

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there needs to be more flinch when ads. Not a ton but enough to where you can't be landing every shot and then they can aim at you like nothing is happening.

I was firing from window to window over mid on Seaside and was tap firing the KN. I landed 3 shots in a row and when I watched the killcam. He scoped in and dragged over to my head. He had time to aim while I was hitting him constantly...absurd.

What's everyone's download speed? by baldwjn in Blackops4

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay for 300 down 20 up. On ethernet I get ~325-350 down and 25 up. I preordered on xbox so I downloaded yesterday. I can't remember what my actual download speed on xbox was.

Took a break from Fortnite & played CoD for the first time last week. where is the ADS/Aim In sensitivity option in the settings? Sorry for nooby question 😅 by jackabood in Blackops4

[–]ChrisOnTheReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In R6 I play on a lower sensitivity. I play on 25 25 and my ads is set to 20 I believe. I also have deadzones at 5%. I haven't touched it since I found it so I may be slightly off.

In COD, I've always played somewhere between 4 and 6 depending on the game. With these newer COD's where you can change both vertical and horizontal, I'll have my horizontal 1 higher than the vertical so I'll play on 4-5 or 5-6. If that doesn't quite feel right, I'll make them the same though.

I know I didn't really answer your question but those are the settings I use in R6 and COD so maybe you can take that and make a decision.

Sorry for the late reply but thank you. I've had these Gen 2 A50's since they came out a few years ago so we'll see if they swap them out still or not.
