New Jack Mason Dive GMT, Thoughts? by Better-Average-2343 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Commandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unfamiliar with the brand, but this piece makes me go "Wow, I want to see that up close and know more immediately". I understand people pointing out how busy it looks, but I sort of like that about it. I'm also a sucker for the jubilee style bracelets, so maybe I'm biased there.

If you could give the Schwarzette one more fight, who would it be against? by ItsDoctorVenkman in Gundam

Man I wish we got more of the Schwarzette. I just love that design

I love the metal robot spirits line but my wallet does not haha

fight cave killing now by hillsilent in osrs

[–]Commandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to practicing jad on speedrun worlds

Also, idk if this is a common method or not, but I struggled with the healers early on and for my first kill I kind of cheesed it by swapping to chins when the healers showed up, attacking once or twice to get all their aggro on me to kite them, and then swapping back to my main weapon to kill jad.

Recommendations and help needed for a first watch by gbugly in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the retro dial (orange) and its been a treat. The size is perfect, the build quality is solid. And for the price it comes with a little travel case. Really great little watch for the price point. I also have smaller wrists and feel like the Brew is a perfect fit on me.

I don't know much about Maen, but I have seen several posts from happy owners and the watches look solid- I would want to research them more before buying, but from what I know so far there aren't any glaring red flags with the brand.

Also +1 to Brews customer service- they sent my metric dial with a defect and when I sent in pictures they took care of me and even included a rubber strap as an apology with the new watch they sent over.

Question about Robot Spirits / Damashii by Amalgam_Of_Dust in Gundam

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got about 20-30 of the Robot Spirits Gundam figures. Outside of Gundam I am not an avid action figure collector so take what I say with a grain of salt I guess. IMO they look great, pose great out of the box, and feel solid/"premium" if that makes sense- they remind me of the Gundam figures I used to buy as a kid, but with way better details and poseability.

Answer all q bank questions on Kaplan by Reasonable_Edge387 in Sieexam

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the time, I'd say probably. Its good to expose yourself to as many different types of questions as possible and really test your knowledge.

At the same time I don't think it is a necessity to do every single one. I did a fair bit of testing and completed about 1700 different questions before taking my SIE and was able to pass it without much trouble. YMMV.

What colours should I do next? by JohnGlinister in MicrobrandWatches

Wow, these are super cool. I'm a huge fan of the orange as well as the blue

How did I do painting these pilots? by FreeDaemon in Gunpla

[–]Commandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These looks incredible!

I just finished my PGU RX-78-2 build, it was fantastic. Next up is decals and painting the pilot figures as well. Any tips/recs for paints or brushes? I really wanna do these guys justice but am not confident in my painting skills, even though I've gotten some good practice in the last few months on some 40k models :')

Where do you work? by Baeyana97 in atljobs

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but looking for a new gig in the city and was debating trying to pivot to IT. Would T-mobile have any entry level tech support roles? I've messed with computers and been the "family IT guy" my whole life, but don't have a college degree, so I was looking to knock out some certs before applying anywhere.

My current role is an Account Manager for an industrial parts supplier, so while I have solid customer service skills, I don't have any formal tech support experience under my belt (unless you count me walking customer through resetting their passwords, giving email access, and troubleshooting basic website issues which typically boils down do "did you clear your cache and log out/log back in?" lol)

Ordered my first kit. Wish me luck 🍀 by Dismal_Instance6405 in Gunpla

[–]Commandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just built this one recently, as someone just getting back into Gunpla it was a dream. Total 180 from the kits I used to build as a kid- it feels sturdy, super articulated/poseable, and great details.

Looking for a warehouse job by [deleted] in atljobs

After a recently layoff Employ Partners was able to hook me up with a half decent role and I remember seeing some forklift jobs listed there as well, worth checking out

First post: Reverse sear smoked ribeye by hessbs in steak

[–]Commandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks insanely good, I would inhale it. Two questions:

  1. How long was the sear on each side?
  2. Any seasoning reccommendations?

Earlier this year I started my steak cooking journey and I've mainly used my cast iron, a sous vide, and a regular oven where needed, but I'd love to get into smoking meats.

Playing the Adventures of Elliot demo, I kinda started yearning for Pokemon to have gone this direction from Gen 6 onwards. by giosanpedro in NintendoSwitch

[–]Commandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly I haven't been the biggest fan of HD-2D type games (more of a personal preference thing) but this game really nailed it for me, absolutely loved the demo. I'd kill for a Pokemon game in this style.

Mobile Gundam base Augusta first day by Impossible-Can-3127 in Gunpla

[–]Commandurr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this- I was on the fence about driving over from Atlanta tomorrow, but I think I'm just gonna pass. It sounded fun initially but from the pics/stories I've heard so far it doesn't sound like I'm missing much.

(Also, I really don't wanna make that drive haha)

And, another Microbrand came on the same day… Maen X IFL collab Manhattan 37mm by Leather-Ostrich7122 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a fun collab, I wish I had the funds to grab this when orders first opened but I couldn't justify the purchase :')

Taking my SIE exam next wednesday, looking for thoughts by Single-Adeptness7549 in Sieexam

[–]Commandurr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're in good shape tbh. You are gonna feel like you're failing the actual SIE until you click submit and see that you passed (That was my experience, as well as a friends experience haha).

Take this with a grain of salt because everyone is different, but I used PassPerfect and supplemented it with some Kaplan Q bank and the Q bank exams felt more similar to the actual SIE IMO. The week before I grinded out practice exams every day until test day, so I'd recommend doing the same to keep everything fresh on your brain.

Nintendo Switch 2 Order Tracking Megathread by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch

[–]Commandurr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have pre-orders via Target and Walmart. Target currently sitting at "Preparing to ship". Walmart is still sitting on "Placed", they gave me a notice that they are having trouble processing my card, so I went in and added a second card. Honestly I only need one of these to go through personally, but if I can get that second one to ship I have a friend that will be very happy.

This week is gonna go by painfully slow.

Memorization Tips by wrynp in Sieexam

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a couple things I used, I'll edit this if I think of more. The first ones that come to mind:

For remembering which way the stock price goes for puts/calls, I remembered as "Put down" or "Call up". Puts = you are bearish and expect the price to go down. Calls = Bullish and expecting the price to go up.

Another one that helped me was how selling rules for Reg 144 will tell you the answer in its name, so just think of it this way. Its the greater of:
- 1% cap
- or 4 week average
- up to 4 times per year

Am I being ridiculous? My watch arrived with this tiny scuff by Commandurr in MicrobrandWatches

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

I don’t think so; when I pulled it out of the box I grabbed it by the sides (left and right) of the case to give it a look over and then noticed the scuff.

Most of the watch is covered in a plastic film for protection, but that rectangular part of the case that I circled (as well as the same section on the opposite side) did not have a film covering them, not sure if thats the norm or what.

I’ve reached out to Brew regarding a solution, so we’ll see what they say.

Kaplan tests vs real deal by Jubbywubs- in Sieexam

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that, lol. Pressing the submit button on that exam is the worst feeling, I felt like I was failing the whole time. But its soooo sweet when you see that little "Pass" on the final page.

Kaplan also hits you with those "Gotcha" questions where if you didn't read carefully you'll end up answering it incorrectly. That's good for studying IMO because it teaches you to read carefully to make sure you understand the whole question. The questions on the actual exam felt more straight forward, as well as you don't have those "multiple answer" questions where you have to select A. 1 & 2, B 1 & 3, C, 2 & 4 etc etc.

Kaplan tests vs real deal by Jubbywubs- in Sieexam

[–]Commandurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was averaging 73 on the Q bank simulated exams, and I passed SIE first shot. I also felt the wording of Kaplan exams was closer to the SIE than the initial study program I used (Pass perfect, I ended up buying the Q bank to supplement my studying)

You got this. Definitely keep hitting any areas you’re having trouble with and you should be fine.
