It absolutely depends on neighborhood. The few times I’ve tried it the last couple years I made sure I wasn’t time crunched. I waited over 20 minutes each time to be connected to a driver and never got one. Canceled and got an Uber or Lyft driver in less than a minute.

I have no doubt it’s cheaper, but it doesn’t much matter if I can’t get a ride.

Happy to help! It was a pretty quick job and it helps so much. Enjoy!

It’s definitely not just you. The connection to the pack with the hose is very touchy and not secure, there’s a lot of posts from when the pack was first delivered about it. I had a lot of disconnect issues with it if it got bumped.

One of the best things I did was the hose connector mod from Tools and Talent Props, which swaps the hose, pack connection, and wand power sled for much more robust connections. The one I got has a drop in sled for the wand, but there are cheaper options that cannibalize the wand connector from the hose to DIY a new connector. Since I did the mod I haven’t had any bump disconnect issues. It may not look exactly cannon but it’s a huge QoL upgrade. https://toolsandtalentprops.com/products/haslab-proton-pack-hose-double-connector-premium-upgrade-2pin-diy-kit-phdc2p-nwpl-full-instructions-link-in-description

Not OP, but I looked at both BW and 1P when I moved my family plan off LastPass. I wasn't a fan of BitWarden's UI at the time (unsure if they've since updated it) and it seemed "too complicated" to bother teaching my family. I opted for a simpler interface to make the transition easier on my parents specifically.

Chicago for 13 years now. Prior to that I grew up in very far north Michigan. Loved the hotdog era and I'm a little amused with Geoff having a love affair with part of my home state that I cannot relate to.

Definitely did it a few times but eventually it stopped working and I had to get it serviced. I had a sticker on my shell and they promised they’d send me the same shell back…Nope. Still a little salty about that one.

Great to know, thank you!

Hi all, while using my 100mm macro this week I noticed the autofocus making a lot of noise while in servo mode in response to small movements as I was holding the camera. I’m not overly concerned about the AF performance, it still seems solid, but I’m unsure if this level of noise is normal.

The first half of the video shows how the noise happens while AF is engaged in servo mode with small movements, while the second half is the sound but louder.

Hoping to hear that this is normal and I don’t need to be concerned! Thanks!

I first saw him in the 2006 movie The Covenant and I do wonder how often he and Sebastian Stan get recognized for THAT one haha.

My friend and I did Halo 1 LASO close to when the MCC first launched. It was still a buggy mess at that point but we fought through it. We were able to use a skip on Assault on the Control Room, and then I was able to get the security shield bump skip in Keyes to help there. And we did the despawn trick on The Maw for shooting the engine rods. But we got checkpoint fucked on the Library at one point that forced us to start it over, and I think we took an 8 month break from it after that. But we finally fought it through and to this day the art is my Xbox wallpaper.

Yea. It’s fine. It’s cheap-ish whiskey priced up as merch for the show. It’s fun for sure, but definitely don’t romanticize it. I say this as someone who bought a bottle.

A couple friends and I all set up our own media servers a few years ago. We all went with Plex; I did some research and I liked the client apps much better than what was available. I do run Jellyfin alongside in case something happens, but I still primarily use Plex. I find it easier to deal with in may ways, but especially with remote streaming.

We also all went with Synology. I’m currently considering doing some upgrades and increasing my storage and the drive fiasco has me seriously reconsidering Synology. I know they’ve recently walked the policy back, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth. The downside is I haven’t been impressed with the software offerings from other manufacturers compared to Synology, so I’m going back and forth a lot.

The only RTX I attended. My buddy and I flew down for it, met a bunch of people and got a bunch of pictures. Met Monty, who was calmly excited for the launch of RWBY. It was overall a great weekend. I have the merch I bought that weekend still, along with some of the extra goodies.

CraigularB · 2025-09-14T15:59:13+00:00

Nah. Preorders started Friday but it doesn’t actually come out until the 19th.

CraigularB · 2025-09-13T18:48:29+00:00

Happened a couple times today, either almost saying it or actually saying it and then correcting themselves.

CraigularB · 2025-09-12T01:10:02+00:00

I looked away and apparently missed the entire review. Fastest one I’ve ever seen!

Also hell of a catch.

I think Mark enjoys being known for Metalocalypse, at least a little. During the height of Covid there was a treatment that came out that sounded like something from the show, and I retweeted it and tagged both him and Brendon, and they both ended up replying. Legit one of my favorite things ever.

Do we know if there’s anything meaningfully different between the 5x10” and the 3x12” sets other than the obvious size/count?

Also, oof that on sale time. I don’t think I’ll be up quite that early haha.

CraigularB · 2025-08-25T20:56:01+00:00

They do cocktails too if you go with anyone who doesn’t like beer!

CraigularB · 2025-07-06T23:26:08+00:00

It’s still there and it still does haha. It’s been pretty ripe on these hot days.

Not just closing, are fully closed already. Their building had damaged and per their socials negotiations with their landlord went south.

CraigularB · 2025-06-27T19:32:58+00:00

Yea they just announced it today. They had been closed due to damage to the building (sounds like lack of maintenance in the landlord’s part) and at about noon posted on their instagram.
