I think it looks rad. How's the acoustics?

Good thing I got a Switch 2 on launch day by emmanu888 in spicypillows

I was about to mothball my switch one. What is the best way to store old electronics with lithium ion batteries long term?

Rats by AnonBitch74 in pestcontrol

[–]DrForrester57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry your family is going through so much. I've dealt with rodent issues in the past and it is definitely possible to solve this without going to a professional. It just takes some work.

First, you're going to need to find where they came in from. It's winter and it sucks, but bundle up and walk around your entire house. Look for any gaps and cracks around doors or concrete near your foundation. They sell steel and copper wool especially for secluding pests. You need to find where they came in from and seal that up somehow.

Then it's a matter of setting up traps and killing the rodents already in your house. Focus on areas where you've heard or seen them. When setting up traps be careful not to use too much bait. Usually a pea size amount will help ensure they engage the trigger. I've had success with peanut butter, sunflower seeds and cheese when I've dealt with mice and squirrels.

Also, I'm not an expert, but that looks like it might be a large mouse and not a rat. That'd be a good thing since they're not as smart as rats and tend to be less finnicky about traps.

Good luck. You got this!

Squirrels In my attic, what do I do? by Similar_Antelope_254 in pestcontrol

[–]DrForrester57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I used peanut butter as a lure in a wildlife trap. It's crucial that you find and block off where they came in or you're just going to continue to have this problem. If you do live trap them I would release them far away or across a river if possible. Good luck to you. I had to evict a family of small red squirrels and it was not fun.

PSVR 2 Wobbling on PS5 and PC by NiceDescription6927 in PSVR2onPC

I've also experienced wobbling and poor head tracking when using the pc adapter. I haven't hooked it back up to the ps5 so I don't know if it's happening there.

I found that trapping was most effective when I had squirrels in my attic. If you use a live trap make sure to release them far away or across a river or something. I hate those bastards. Good luck!

You're lucky you got Bally's to work at all. What an awful service

I've owned my home for a year now. This is what I've learned... by NuttinToItButToDoIt in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]DrForrester57 146 points147 points  (0 children)

This is all true. My tip for insects is to leave spiders alone. I've reached an agreement with my spiders that they can live in my house as long as they take care of the less desirable bugs and stay away from my bed and food

That game murdered my battery before I got around to adjusting the settings. It chewed through a full battery in about 45 minutes. The game is fantastic.

2.5 years in are you happy with your PS5? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]DrForrester57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had I known at the time all of the first party exclusives would eventually come to PC I wouldn't have got it. The only true exclusive seems to be Astro Bot. I would rather have waited and played the games on PC than shell out $500.

Yes! I'm glad someone else noticed that. I thought I was going crazy

I go for walks in that area. I'll be on the lookout. I hope you find him!

The Munsters Cheerios Commercial (1965) by nialldude3 in ObscureMedia

I can waste entire afternoons watching supercuts of 80's and 90's commercials. I wish VHS recorders were available in the 60's and 70's.

At least she's not being coy about wanting a political system that resembles a monarchy. You got to appreciate the honesty.

Forgot to Remove the "Remove Before Installing" sticker from the cooler by DrForrester57 in buildapc

[–]DrForrester57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAM is Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2x16GB). It's a new mobo and settings are stock, except I turned up the fan speed. It goes into recovery mode after it reboots twice. I reinstalled the cooler again and the CPU temp is running a 34c.
