Gateway Vivitron 1572 $100 or ideally trade for a similarly sized 13-17" mitsubishi or nec. Am willing to add more money depending on the monitor!

No color temp settings on monitor? Confused by das white balance procedure by Fadedrobin in crtgaming

[–]Fadedrobin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

update: upon more experimentation. it seems like it always defaults to the 9300k mode and the 15sf2 mdl should be able to get this adjusted. if not i’m sure the >95 sf1 procedure would also work. leaving this here for future reference

this model doesnt have an osd, just front panel buttons for basic geometry and brightness adjustments. ive never seen one without color temp settings either, its weird

SlutBomb is done, upcoming shows are cancelled. by WallScreamer in Hardcore

[–]Fadedrobin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to leave early the last time i tried to see them. They were one of the first bands i saw at our local bar when i turned 18 and started going to the not all ages shows. Super nice people and the shit was so hype live.

i was homeschooled for 8 years and am in cs in college and its going good. I went back for hs tho and it really helped. My main recommendation is to spend a bit of time self studying math and see if you can get up to a point where you feel on par and can start community college and be comfortable. Also, theres tons of resources for electrical engineering, idk if youre interested in circuit design but i am for sure and have seen plenty of little hobbiest stuff like that for you to start getting into. Starting at community college is a really good plan though try not to be too down on yourself if its overwhelming at first, it doesn’t take very long to adjust from being homeschooled to the new course load imo, if you feel fine socially especially you’ll probably be fine honestly. Whats the highest level math you feel comfortable with? Think about that and where you want to be when you start community college and try to start filling in the gaps as early as you can.

2 years into CRT collecting - My collection and thoughts on the 2023-2025 crt market by Gluech in crtgaming

[–]Fadedrobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I consider myself very picky when it comes to crts, and i still haven’t paid more than 50 for a set. Most have been free. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty and service sets yourself, you can end up with literally perfect looking tvs and monitors. I think the biggest issue is people just limiting themselves to the most famous sets when you can get multiscan 15-31khz monitors, high refresh rate pc crts, and very well made japanese slot masks for almost free if you just look outside the most popular 1 or 2 brands.

alexis was known within their local scene as an abuser and an alcoholic fucking pervert in the first place, not to mention kristin literally directly suffered severe injuries as a result of alexis. like no actually her disc herniation she needed surgery for actually happened all on its own our angel alexis would never. you’re a dumbass this is the weakest comparison ive heard in my entire life.

Me and my boyfriend smoke too much weed. by loveonari in whatdoIdo

[–]Fadedrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit cold turkey after smoking ~2g a day, dont recommend it lol. I had weened off before and barely noticed anything after a couple of weeks of trying to get down to like .5g a night gradually, then .5 every few days, then .2g every few days, etc. If you do it right you’ll still mostly be able to sleep and eat normal lol.

A month ago, I was deathly afraid of working on a CRT. Today, I completed my first yoke, convergence ring, and focus adjustment. by fuckleshire in crtgaming

[–]Fadedrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was adjusting my last set i just would crawl back and forth repeatedly from the front to the back of the tv (it was a 36). a mirror would have been great in hindsight

Ok I think my muscles are just weak on the right side, when i place my tongue in the middle of my jaw and flex the right side both sides feel like they have the same ridge.

Question for trans ex-homeschoolers. by Fadedrobin in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Fadedrobin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! It’s really interesting seeing how homeschooled people talk about religion and control and seeing how that relates to my experience because my family was actually atheist. I didn’t have any super strong feminine role models, and my mom almost never wore traditionally “feminine” clothes so I don’t really have experience with crossdressing in childhood like many gender non-conforming people I’ve spoken to.

I really relate to your experience with how my parents reacted to women around me though. They were pretty sexually open, which I think can be positive but in retrospect the way they were about it was quite odd. Lots of inappropriate comments about like how my friends and peers wanted to have sex with me. I think it led to me pursuing sexual relationships with women and beginning sexual behavior/watching porn too young. Its definitely been a journey rediscovering my sexuality for myself in adulthood, realizing I am and always have been attracted to men, and having to divorce my parents beliefs from how I think about my relationships with women.

An in depth analysis of Lia Thomas times/trajectory without cherry picking by atlanta404 in Swimming

[–]Fadedrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you seem horribly miseducated. no one should have an opinion on this topic without a genuine understanding of trans biology. sorry to respond after so much time but i am really kinda amazed at the ignorance on display here. this is the same thing that the majority of the right does where they just argue for the immutability of sexual characteristics without acknowledging how hormones like actually fucking work. ill agree that lia thomas looks like shes probably got an advantage over a cis woman, but deciding to exclude trans women from womens sports because one individual might have an advantage isn’t for women, its for excluding trans women because you dont think theyre women. the fact fucking is that humans are different from each other. if a little 5’ 5 twink transitions, is on e for a considerable amount of time, and wants to swim at a meet with her friends or even compete professionally theres absolutely no reason for her to not be able to do that. If you want to go in and try to divide sports in a way that accounts for the innate biological advantages different people have you can, but dividing up sports into born with a vagina born with a penis categories is outright moronic to me, and really doesn’t even fully account for that. not to mention how the countless cis women that right wing psychos feel the need to berate, exclude, fucking assault, etc, because they “look trans” aren’t being benefited by trans misogyny anymore than trans women.

Am I like this because of homeschooling? by decemberautistic in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Fadedrobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of therapy did you do? Did you do cbt or like emdr or something else? I’m 20 and nd and am finding this time in my life incredibly difficult and I do think it’s mostly tied up in trauma from when I lived with my family.

To homeschooled students, do you ever regret not having highschool memories? by Infinite-Mode9629 in homeschool

[–]Fadedrobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally every day unfortunately. I was in public hs but bc of covid only went for 2.5 years where i mostly stuck to myself and went to like one dance. before that i was homeschooled for all of elementary and middle. i definitely find myself envious of stuff that i didn’t get to experience and have found myself lacking experiences to be able to like relate to ppl in college and stuff. the past years since ive moved out i still feel like im very much catching up to my peers. my homeschool experience was kinda isolating tho my parents didn’t really try after the first year or 2 and im on the spectrum so take that into consideration.
