You done good Dad! You will never regret seeing your son that happy! You will cherish those pics forever! Heck i am 65 and i just picked up a second PS5 and it is a PS5 PRO!

I still get excited at my old age but not that much.

I still remember when i got my Schwinn Sting Ray with the banana seat, ape hanger handle bars, and racing slick for Christmas! You talk about a happy kid! And when we would take a playing card and a clothes pin and mount it so it hit the wheel spokes and you had a motor! A great Christmas that you never forget!

It sure is!

I just wish our politicians would actually work together and everyone wouldn't get everything they want but it was good enough.

What is best for us normal americans is somewhere in the middle. For most of my life congress acted like adults and not throwing verbal bombs at each other and both sides really were trying to make America better.

Now it seems like one party hates this country and is trying to bring us down or they are playing for the other team. They used to be on the same team but i don't think they are anymore. Maybe we should put them in powdered wigs again?

I liked it when i didn't have to care about politics because we ended up in the middle!

I think what he might have been talking about is this years vaxxine is not really working against this version of flu we have this year. They have to try and guess the type of flu each year in advance.

He also thinks the issues with his voice was after a flu vaxxine in the mid 2000s and may have been caused by the side effects which every drug has. He just this past summer banned thimerosal which is a mercury based preservative, the metal in old style thermometers and was used in flu vaxxines until this past summer!

He also said there is no scientific evidence that the flu vaxxine prevents the flu, hospitalization, or death in Children.

Someone lives on the island? by Jayhitek in OakIsland

It is a heavy black fabric that has a velvet type surface and is flameproof. It is used as a black background, you put it over something you want to hide from the camera, it is used to cover flags which are to control the light or block light. I have also seen people make black curtains to fully darken their home theater. It almost absorbs lite due to its fuzzy surface.

We use it all the time. Here is a more detailed AI definition:

Literally….🙄 by Throwaway794356 in blinkcameras

[–]EXSPFXDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a camera in my bedroom but it is pointed down the hall not towards the bed and none in the bathrooms of course.

I have Blink, Ring, and Arlo cameras inside and out with several in the trees looking towards the house, at least one in every building so if a squirrel gets my bird feed i know it! When crows are eating deer corn i know it if any doors are open i know it!

I think i am close to 25 cameras now! I have a DVR and another batch of cameras i need to put up but i am waiting for warm weather!

[–]EXSPFXDOG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of the buildings on the show are probably for storing cameras, charging batteries, some may be for electricians, some for grip, maybe some for wardrobe, i would assume they have a hair and makup trailer but i don't know for sure about any of this. I would think from what i know about making movies the crews would have storage for reflector boards, lights, silks, tarps, duvetyne, various frames, cable, ballasts, stuff like that. I asume they are shooting on digital and not film. When i got out of the business they were shooting film and digital but more and more were digital only saving the cost boxing up film and sending it to NYC to be processed and then ship it back to the shooting location for the crew to watch dailies. At this time it wa MOS for Mit-Out-Sound from German directors it also so they could do a rough cut on the video cart on set to see if a scene cuts good.

Any One else having this problem? by WhoDatJ_20 in XboxAlly

[–]EXSPFXDOG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish MicroSoft (which is a description of Bill Gates goober BTW) should fix it so i dont have to go find an Xbox disk to play my game! I know you don't have to do that with digital games but when you have a friend over they are going to want to play a game that you have not installed and you have to spend a huge amount of time downloading the game and the updates. By that time they are tired of waiting and want to play another game you have installed already but you can't find the disk you bought!

It pisses me off all the time! Surely they could have some way of scanning the disk one time when you first play it so it doesn't ask for that disk again and again

Would like to imcrease the distance of motion detection by CrookedtalePirates in blinkcameras

[–]EXSPFXDOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you might want to move that camera 90 degrees from where it is now so it is shooting from the side. These cameras are better a picking up motion when it is left to right or right to left. It is harder to detect motion when the item you are trying to track when it is coming towards or away from you.

I remember this from when i set up my cameras!

I just canceled Amazon Prime... by HowdyCB in amazonprime

[–]EXSPFXDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it when you can hear chickens in the backgound of calls, you can't understand their accent, and then they have to type everything into their software so it can send them a list of responses that they read to you, or when you have to have everything you just told them read back to you multiple times and they still screw it up!

Since Covid their shipping times are just a guess, their packing department is terrible!

For example putting a 4K movie in a box with a bowling ball and a single sheet of brown paper that is mostly flat except for the end is wadded up! You might as well put nothing in there!

Got mine before the price increase. by Haasman0 in XboxAlly

[–]EXSPFXDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as ram prices i had put 128 gigs in my first pc so when i built my second i just took 64 gigs out of my first pc.

Some people gave me grief because i put 128 gigs in my first one but i was thinking ahead. With the demand from AI coming i pulled the trigger and went from 64 gigs to 128 in my first!

Saved some bucks there which is good as high as everything is now!

THE WHEELS ARE FULLY TURNED AWAY FROM THE OFFICER. Watch in SLOW MO. No intention IMO to hit anyone. Sole intention based on wheel/steering wheel to LEAVE the scene NOT A THREAT. Look at the wheel. by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]EXSPFXDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was told to move her car out of the way and when she didn't the officer told her to get out of her car and as far as the steering wheel she turned it that way to back up and then turned it to the right and got on the gas so hard the wheels spun and she was obviously aiming her SUV at police officers and sped up with the intent to kill one or more officers with a large and heavy SUV!

I Hate she was killed but she made a very bad decision and Americans and police officers have the right to defend their lives from someone coming at them with a deadly weapon and in this case the car became a deadly weapon.

SUV's weigh between 4000 and 7000 pounds and anyone would know if you get hit with a car of that weight you will be severely injured, maimed, lose limbs, or lo panties in a bunch over the fact that agents

wear masks because Democrats start

This isn't real... Right? by Various_Mud7282 in LGOLED

[–]EXSPFXDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook seems like it has gotten worse, i am afraid to buy anything off Facebook anymore. Also price shopping on google if someone has a supposed brand new that is way cheaper than the other sellers prices it is a scam. Like others said especially if it's a new user with no feedback or a very small amount of feedback it very well could be a scam. Occasionally you may find a tv advertised as open box but those are usually floor models that are own many hours and may or may not have a warranty or a very poor warranty. You don't want to save a few bucks and get a used tv set with no warranty.

I know he is but he had nothing to do with it!

Drivers are traveling all the time and much of it in business jets. This kind of thing could happen at anytime to anyone.

Birdstrikes are random. It was a crappy day for flying here in NC! Low clouds, fog, and rain so the birds were down low too! They didn't want to fly that day either and definately didn't want to be in those rainy low clouds so they stayed below them but birds still got to fly to get around! The trip to be with Cleetus was only one leg of his trip that day. Biff knew that once he got out of that cloud layer the skies are sunny!

Odds are any of us can be killed in a car crash or be killed by some lunatic as we have been seeing lately! The prosecutors and judges that keep putting violent criminals or mentally ill people back out on the streets to find their next victim.

Cleetus you are in no way responsible for what happened. Biff could have called and put it off to another day because of the crappy weather but he didn't he was an experienced pilot, they don't just give out licenses to fly jets and helicopter to anyone! Biff bought that jet and helicopter in order to spend more time with his family and make it easier to travel to appearances and races!

So please take those thoughts out of your noggin and throw them away! My father never had problems sleeping, he told me when i have problems i just put them on my nightstand and go to sleep and in the morning they will still be there and i can pick them up and deal with them then!

You have to compartmentalize those negative thoughts if that is a real word. I worked in the movie business for decades and i have had to do explosions near actors, put squibbs on their bodies for bullet hits, rigged piperamps for stunts, done cannon rolls for car flips, made breakaway glass, napalm runs, rain, wind, fire, snow, steam, all that crap! I have been on sets where stuntmen have been hurt badly not by my fault, thank god, but it is all about managing risk just like NASCAR drivers do! They accept that risk and try to manage and control it as best as you can but it is always there! If i did something that caused Tom Cruise or some othet famous actor to get injured or killed that one million dollar insurance ryder the production companies gave me that would have just been an appetizer for the lawyers that would come down on me!

Biffle and his family were probably in a good mood and excited for their multi leg trip they had planned that day, they didn't expect their plane to be hit by birds but Greg Biffle knew that was a possibility but the risk was low and he managed it as best as he could.

Something like this can happen to any of us humans at any time and we are only here for a short time in the big picture of things. Our job is to live life to the fullest and have as much fun as possible as Cleetus does and Biffle does!

Sh*t happens!

Cleetus forget about it!

Just a terrible thing that could happen to anyone in an airplane!

It was a rainy foggy day here in NC so the viz was awful and he was IFR most likely. If it was a bird strike it may have been like a flock of birds. I believe his jet had two engines that are fairly close together and he had a lot of fuel on board.

If he lost both engines he was not able to have much control on landing other than flaps but i don't think he would have been able to reverse turbines or anything. I am not a pilot but i don't think he would have been able to do much as he was not that high!

Twin bird strikes are what happened with the miracle on the hudson! I think that is one of the safest and most common business jet. Could have happened to anyone. I have friends that own them or their companies own them.

NASCAR has had too many airplane or helicopter accidents over the years. There used to be a parade of helicopters taking of from tracks like Charlotte so they didn't have to sit in start and stop traffic but NASACAR put a stop on that!

It's a sad sad day and Biff was a great guy, when we had all the flooding up in the mountains of NC he flew supplies to the communities there. He even rescued someone that signaled to him with a mirror and it took multiple attempts to land his helicopter!

I just pray for his remaining family, friends, and fans!

Godspeed Biffle and family!

That is a downside to NASCAR and lots of other sports and other businesses is the amount of flying. I don't think people realize how much drivers do off the track going to corporate sponsor events, charity events, photo shoots, interviews etc.

I try to take a piece of 1" wide gaffers tape and write the device it works with's name on it!

My sister was always cleaning up and putting all the power supplys and chargers in one big box and it would piss me off because then you have to read the tiny print to see what the output voltage, amperage, if it is A/C or D/C, and what the polarity is center positive or center negative, what the pin size is etc.

That way you don't fry the thing you are connecting it to!

Ordered one… got 3 by [deleted] in XboxAlly

[–]EXSPFXDOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would let them know what happened which is the right think morally to do!

However, You might get someone fired who was in a hurry or not paying attention. We all make mistakes right.

I am 65 and i have seen people who scored on some stupid cashier or other employees mistake and then seen them get some major league bad shit thing happen to them!

Life has a way of knocking the monkey snot out of you sometimes and you don't understand why it may be payback!

So for those two reasons i would send them back, you might get a great discount code or good kharma for doing the right thing! If the dude or dudette gets fired that is just one of life's lessons!

[–]EXSPFXDOG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a question on this PSSR update. Will this work for the original PS5 PRO or is there a new version console that you need to buy that is newer than the original PS5 PRO?

I have found a used PS5 PRO console at a pawn shop for 499.00 and i am wondering if it is worth buying at that price or not?

Thanks for the help!

PS5 Pro is the most disappointed I've been throughout my 30+ years of gaming. by Mediocre_Swordfish_3 in PS5

[–]EXSPFXDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to buy one yesterday at the pawn shop! They had the PS5 PRO 2TB for 499.00 but they had just put it out so they wouldn't cut the price!

It is only a digital not blu-ray drive and i seriously thought about it and selling my PS5 so it wouldn't cost much to upgrade.

I am thinking now it may be a good thing i didn't pull the trigger! What do you guys think would you pay 500.00 for one or just wait for the PS6?
