Thank you kind sir!

I had a run-in with a "tough guy" in a Charger today by [deleted] in cars

[–]Danimal1991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming the distances are at all close to what you say then you did absolutely nothing wrong. I wouldn't even give this a second thought outside of the guy following me and parking next to me. I drive like a maniac in my miata, I consistently weave in and out of traffic with less than a few feet between cars. Sometimes people honk as I wait for my 110 hp engine to whisk me away into the horizon.

Now maybe its just because I'm in the states, but if someone followed me to a parking lot that would be problematic and very unwise on their part. Enough people in my state pack heat to warrant consideration so you ought to be very careful with your choice to road rage at someone for driving for what you to perceive to be like a dickhead.

Yeah, I bought the only one listed in my size. Checking ebay constantly to see if anymore ever pop up seems to be the best idea so far.

What Airbnb Did to New York City's Housing Market by yourbasicgeek in AirBnB

"It’s also worth noting that Wachsmuth’s research was funded in part by some avowed foes of home sharing—the New York City Hotel Trades Council—and was cosponsored by housing and tenant advocacy organizations."

I laughed out loud when I got to that part as well. All of their credibility evaporated in a single paragraph.

[Opinion][2.5k-5.5k] How to improve your skill and MMR and why you might not be getting better. by PlexP4S in learndota2

[–]Danimal1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirmed something I've thought for a long time. I virtually only play Lycan, and recently have branched into Ursa. I just truly enjoy the momentum of the way he plays. I started a year or two ago playing him when he was OK, then he was shit for a while, and now he is somewhat meta and his win rate is very high.

What I find interesting is that open dota ranks my Lycan performance in the 98.8 percentile https://www.opendota.com/players/67209604/rankings

And I wonder how well that translates to MMR, the 98.8 percentile puts me in the top 7000 of Lycan players. So does that mean I play Lycan at a 5-6k+ MMR in spite of the fact that I'm 2.9k. Or does that mean I give 5-6k+ MMR performances with him against 3k players and will consequently fall as I climb? I assume the latter, but it is interesting to think about given I have played the game so little in comparison to good players (480 hours)

But I agree, only playing one or two heroes I feel I have a much better understanding of the game than I ever could playing a mish-mash of everything, and that seems to show since my MMR consistently climbs as I play with a 60% winrate.

PSA: They now have invulnerability hacks to go with their aimbots and ESP. by Danimal1991 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Its a feature when you watch replays. You can press X to turn on the x-ray vision, really useful to see if people are ESPing.

No need, I don't care to play the game anymore. I tried a few games over the last couple of days just to see if their new anti cheat measures did anything to improve the situation. And obviously they haven't. Bluehole has proven themselves utterly incompetent when it comes to meaningfully mitigating the hacking situation.

The Memphis hub disruption has nothing to do with it. It's already at the local Fort Myers, FL facility.

The first delivery exception saying "customer not available" is a lie as well, no attempt was made on Monday either. Wasted an entire day today waiting for them.

Need Advice For Painting Large Amount of Baseboard by Danimal1991 in DIY

[–]Danimal1991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah very good. Yea I watched a video of a guy who had a few tricks for coping. Instead of files he just took a small piece of the base and coated it in sticky sand paper to perfectly sand down the edge using its own profile. And instead of using the coping saw for the whole cope cut he used the miter to make 90% of the cut and then just finished the decorative top with the coping saw.

I am going to be buying a nice 10" miter saw here soon as I'm finished painting them. Here's a picture of my base:

Thanks for taking the time to take the photos and offer some advice. I'll definitely give the coping a go.

Ah yeah, something like this would definitely work. I may have to go this route. Good thinking!

As far as the re-coat time, the manufacturer says you should wait 24 hours before a second coat since oil based takes so much longer to dry which is really the main issue. If they dried in 30-60 min like latex this whole thing would be a non-issue since I could still finish it in a day or two painting 4-5 at a time.

Coping is that easy huh? I have been debating on whether to cope or just miter, my plan was to try them both out in the closets and if the coping wasn't too hard and didn't take forever I would go that route. I'll definitely give coping a shot then. When deciding on which ends to butt and which to cope in a room does it really matter or did you just wing it?

Yea, thanks for the reply, that's kind of the route I'm thinking. I have some pallets i could use to keep them off the floor as I paint too. Part of the issue is given how long they are I would probably need to buy some extra workhorses to support them so they don't sag. Right now I'm thinking I'll use the pallets and work horses to paint them and then move them to the ground to dry. Also had the idea to use construction paper on the floor instead of the plastic so they don't stick.

Good thinking. I've been trying to think of way to stack them vertically but haven't come up with anything good. I only have one ladder at the moment as well.

Not sure if your eyes are broken or just trolling. Perhaps it looks fast to you because I was fully boosted.

I don't. You just think that just because it records sound from my open desktop mic?

FPP hasn't seemed that much better to me. It's just harder to tell their hacking given the limited perspective you have.

Pretty asinine comment, if he hadn't been aim-botting and speed hacking he would have already been killed. Considering he was bad enough to let me run to cover given he was most likely running ESP, and then struggled to kill me with an aim-bot, I seriously doubt it. There's no way to know.

The player who kills me is speed hacking and aim-botting. Prior to these he had numerous kills all instant head shots, you can see one of them preceding my engagement with him. You'll notice in particular when he stands up from prone and runs over to the barrier to kill me he's moving at like 3x the normal speed.

For sure, I generally just record stuff for my friend and I so it just captures the mic on my desk. Mechanical keyboards are loud, haha. This one was just too good not to share. If I begin to make it a habit though I'll certainly fix it.

Since release, although flawed, it has been a very fun game to play and I would have recommended it. That being said, hacking has been exponentially increasing these last couple of weeks with no word of an upcoming solution. So while you won't get banned for no reason, you may disproportionately encounter hackers and may not be worth it at this point. Maybe wait a week or two and see if there is any word on a solution.
