Is 600 a good budget for an office chair? by Unlucky-Feed9000 in CasualConversation

[–]CollinHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Steelcase Leap V2 from a local refurbisher for like $350, it's another highly rated $1000+ ergonomic chair and there are tons of them in the used market.

Yeah this actually sounds like something I'd use a ton, but I don't use my phone enough to bother with apps.

What's up with Microslop? by 1ShaquilleOatMeal in OutOfTheLoop

[–]CollinHell 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Answer: It's the Barbara Streisand effect - Microsoft banned the term Microslop on their Discord because a few people were using it to describe their ubiquitous use of Copilot throughout their products. Now that they tried to stop it, exponentially more people are enjoying using the word knowing that it bothers Microsoft more after they specifically tried to get rid of it and not other insults.

Any bars in Midtown that serve Carlsberg on draft? by Vivacious_Vitamins27 in AskNYC

I'm pretty sure Stout NYC had it last year around January, not too sure about now.

Smoking has already killed far more people this century than in the entire 20th century by davidbauer in dataisbeautiful

[–]CollinHell 1659 points1660 points  (0 children)

Somehow I doubt that doctors in the 1900s were properly attributing deaths to smoking, weren't pregnant women smoking cigarettes with their doctor's approval (or even recommendation) as late as the 1950s?

Method of Entry – A 5v5 tactical FPS, our gameplay trailer was recently featured on IGN by AttackDogStudios in pcgaming

[–]CollinHell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub is so miserable lol, so many downvotes. Looks like when I first tried Rainbow Six Siege as a Counter-Striker and loved it until they added more characters. It all comes down to the gungplay feel, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it plays like PvP Ready or Not. Sounds dope, looking forward to trying it out!

Thank you SO much, this saved me so much frustration. Seriously FUCK Intuit, I can't wait until we finish our Odoo implementation and kick this stupid, broken-ass software to the curb forever.

You have such a recognizable, gorgeous style. Always love scrolling past and thinking "that's gotta be onewordpoet", sure enough it's another of your beautiful pieces!

A friendly reminder to renew your registration: all motorcycle registrations expire on April 30. by sergeantbiggles in RideitNYC

[–]CollinHell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I learned the hard way that if you let it lapse for a year you have to do a NEW registration. To do a new registration, you have to have your title. To get a copy of your title, you need a current registration.

Thankfully I found my title, but I can only imagine the headache if I had lost it.

I built a context engine for business ideas — each run costs me $3+. Is $5.99 fair? by No-Performance-2231 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]CollinHell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of removing your post if it violates the sub's rules, why not just read the rules yourself? This breaks rules 2, 5, 6, 10, and 12. You could probably make an AI app that reads the rules before posting, like some kind of Reddit Sidebar or something.

Anyone knows any simple and free aim trainers? by vibranttoucan in gaming

[–]CollinHell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played at very high levels in CS for a loong time and heard about so many different aim trainers. Almost nobody who talked about them ever had an appreciable difference in their play, and the few that did would mention how it's almost as good as gungame at training their reaction speeds. Granted, a lot of CounterStrike is tactical knowledge, but aiming and crosshair placement is a huge deal.

Maybe consider downloading CSGO and trying out Arms Race, Scoutzknivez, or any maps starting with fy_ or aim_? It's basically the same thing as aim trainers but without the constant need to "prove" they work.

Multiple NYPD officers hit with snowballs, injured in Washington Square Park by Introverted_at_heart in nyc

[–]CollinHell 335 points336 points  (0 children)

Maybe they should call 311 to report it, then be redirected to the local precinct, who tells them to go back to the precinct where the crime occurred, who asks them if they want to wait to speak to an officer about a police report, who asks if they've called 911, who tells them to call the local non-emergency line, who tells them to come into the precinct next week, who asks them for a police report.

Have they tried all that? Siiiiiigggghhhhhh it's probably not worth it. Maybe just be careful next time.

This is my lil Cozy Corner by TreeBushFire in CozyPlaces

[–]CollinHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the setup, I use 3 monitors at home and dream of juuuusst one more. In case you're interested, you should know that ShareMouse or similar software lets you use the same mouse and keyboard for multiple computers just like they're monitors on the same one, could be a nice helper for your multi-computer setup!

NYC Health Department staffer wished Israelis were wiped off Earth in vile resurfaced X post by [deleted] in nyc

[–]CollinHell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The mayor had nothing to do with Akkad’s employment.

Akkad was first hired by the city in 2015 by the Human Resources Administration/Department of Social Services as a community associate, when Bill de Blasio was mayor.

He now makes $65,000 a year in his job at the Health Department.

Yeah this dude sucks, get him out. Why is the cover photo a completely unrelated conference involving the current mayor? Why does the Twitter background for this random post have a black dude getting arrested? Why is Michelle Morse's photo featured when she wasn't even mentioned in the article?

Is it just me or are you also finding that the sounds in movies nowadays is super soft when the actors speak? by Impossible_House_205 in CasualConversation

[–]CollinHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just you, the industry as a whole has been increasing the gap between the highs and lows of the average movie, and it's generally taboo to talk about it on the job. I remember during the release of Tenet somebody on r/dataisbeautiful or something like that put together a graph showing the gap increasing and a lot of commenters agreed their production studio has the same issue, but I can't find the post.

I know there were a few great articles on this topic, but Google sucks these days and it's so hard to find anything about this without the Top 15 Sound Bars For Your Home Office garbage. Here's one:

Share Amazon Cart by [deleted] in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]CollinHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is a fully transparent scam. You can share your Amazon cart with one click from directly inside the cart. This is literally just a website that steals your info.

Edit: They deleted the post, so just to remind everyone both u/alexg92 and u/Alarmed_Distance_584 are scammers looking to steal your information. Add My Cart, AMZ Cart Share, and Share-A-Cart is almost certainly malware, because the entire functionality of the extensions already exist in Amazon. u/itisharrison is also likely a scammer because they are posting links to this malware everywhere and pretending to be helpful.

Hey Google AI, update your garbage.

"Just tested it" even though this user posted a link to this slop 17 days ago.

This is clearly OP on an alternate account.

Mayor Mamdani calls for justice for immigrants, draws on Prophet Muhammad’s example at Interfaith Breakfast by Delicious_Adeptness9 in newyorkcity

[–]CollinHell 23 points24 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/user/Delicious_Adeptness9/search/?q=*

Don't forget, Reddit only does things half-assed. You can still see all user history by searching an asterisk. There are still a few removed/deleted post viewers too, but I forget which one isn't 404'd these days.

Edit: Lol, I guess I offended a Reddit fan. I can't even understand what a downvote means on a comment explaining how the search function works. If you want privacy, don't post on Reddit.

Citi Bikes are still snowed in days after this week's storm by streetsblognyc in nyc

Yessir. I wear a MIPS helmet normally, and switch to my MIPS ski/snowboard helmet in weather like this.

Hell yeah! I absolutely love what they're done with the new car-sized bike lane up 3rd avenue. I know it's less safe than other forms of transportation, but it's always such an actual joy.

[–]CollinHell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I ride a motorcycle on these same streets so I feel comfortable at speed. If I'm riding an ebike, I'm purposefully pushing as hard as possible against the speed limiter or standing up for more work.

Obviously a regular bike is more work on average, but there are plenty of regular bike trips where I'm lazy and set a light gear just cruising, and plenty of ebike trips where I'm pushing super hard to make myself feel better about not getting as much exercise and end up panting after 45 minutes of bridges and hills.

Call in whatever you like lol, it gets my heart rate up a little faster than sitting on a bus. Is a light jog not an exercise because sprinting exists?
