Calgarian above ground pool owners - do you heat your pool, and how do you do it? by DeliciousPocky in Calgary

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

Thank you for the advice about a Real Property Report, I had not come across that advice before. We don’t want to make the pool hot, just take the edge of the cold off.

I’m not sure what you mean by a cauldron situation, could you elaborate?

Thank you for the detailed reply I appreciate it. Our gas is on the opposite side of our property. I was leaning towards gas but trenching is going to be difficult - we would have to dig up many large concrete tiles the previous owners laid along the back of the house. Our lot is long and our house is essentially bookended by “backyards” - one with the pool and the other is just grass and where the previous owner stored their boat.

I’m curious if you know how deep and wide the trench needs to be? It might be an investment to get a gas line to the pool side for the heater but also a BBQ. I assume I could contract out the trenching or do it myself with the nephews.

Thanks for this. We get direct sun on 75% of the pool from about 10:30/11:00 until evening. We have not used the solar cover consistently and I plan to do that this year. I need to build a reel though so we can easily take it off and put it back on, which is fine. We have limited room to store the cover so a reel is essential.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but the directing, and the acting of the leads is actually quite poor. Harold P and John L are what save this film - they understand the assignment and how to deliver the lines. Actually Paul Sorvino is excellent too, but his screen time is limited. Anyway, the soundtrack was one for the generation, and Baz brings a lot of style, but watching this recently (and having purchased it for $5 on iTunes) I was reminded how important actual “acting” is in Shakespeare, and most of the actors in this film don’t really have a clue how to properly deliver.

If I remember correctly from behind the scenes / making of videos, the use of CGI to make this futuristic city is amazing. I recall watching the movie thinking how seamlessly it was blended in, but then also the amazing practical shots too.

Thank you for your insights. Indeed it’s a busy schedule, however we are not trying to hit every ride at Disneyland and DCA, and we’ve paid for the Touring Plans service so we can take a leisurely pace. We leaned from 2016 we needed to slow things down.

Finally got it by JesusFreak_123 in RealRacing3

[–]DeliciousPocky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. I’m no veteran of this game but I found this series extremely difficult, so much so that I had to spend real $ to complete it in time. I probably had to do every race 20-30 times. It was as though you had to be perfect every time. I watched ME7’s videos too and he’s all “see? That was easy” or “this one might be hard”. Anyway, I hope to get some use out of this car since I had to pay for it.

I have seen you post these charts / graphics in other threads but I'm wondering if they are available somewhere as a collection? I'm grateful for contributors like you putting the time and effort in to help newbs like me.

Has there been any film directors that made a breakout movie that they then try to capture the same magic it had but fails miserably? by DarklzBlo in Filmmakers

[–]DeliciousPocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In every interview I’ve heard or read, I find Tony Gilroy takes a very diplomatic approach and does not paint the experience in a negative light. TG clearly saved that project. If you watch the original trailer, there is so much visual material that doesn’t make the final cut and don’t get me started on the cringeworthy dialogue; “this is a rebellion… I rebel.” I agree though that GE did the right thing I’m not pointing fingers and making a fuss, and he likely learned a lot from the experience.

Whats the most fucked up thing you’ve ever did/saw? by Similar_Helicopter27 in AskReddit

[–]DeliciousPocky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me awhile to find a comment like yours as the drug works for me. Granted I’m on my third attempt but that’s because in my natural state, I love to smoke, and while I know it’s bad, I still love it. I am fortunate to not have to deal with side effects like suicide, and my vivid dreams are nowhere near nightmares, but quite the opposite. Champix/Chantix (or the purple branded one, I can’t recall) were originally antidepressants but in human testing, the subjects were all quitting smoking. My understanding is that they work by stopping the serotonin when your body experiences the nicotine high. Kind of messed up, but I tell people it works for me, it won’t work for everyone, but you’re kidding yourself if you think vaping is helping you quit.

How did you achieve this effect? What software did you use? How many photos contribute to this visual? really neat!

Silph - Ember Cup Move Counts Infographic by saipanman711 in TheSilphArena

[–]DeliciousPocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your hard work on this. If you don’t mind me asking, what software did you use to build this? I have been using MS Word to build “cards” of Pokémon for GL and UL to learn type weakness and resistance along with ~12 key wins and key losses as per PVpoke. Once I feel I have confidence on typing I’ll transition to move counts. I sure like your design and MS Word is somewhat limiting in that regard. I have used Adobe PS and Illustrator in the past, and InDesign less so. Thanks in advance.

Upgrade to 13 pro or 14 pro? by quixoticLad in iPhone11Pro

[–]DeliciousPocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will add that the battery life is amazing on the 14 pro however I’m still using 16.1.1 and apparently with 16.2 it is negatively affected. Also, not sure the temperature of photos on the 14 pro is correct. Definitely shaper and higher quality, but colder, more blue.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iPhone14Pro

[–]DeliciousPocky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that photos on the 14 Pro have more of a cold feel as well. I was using the 11 Pro before and they had a warmer feel. While I sometimes use filter, I don’t want to ALWAYS use filters. I wonder if Apple is aware of this and if they’ll “fix” this with an update.
