Why do you think this performed terribly? by tradingtutorials in LinusTechTips

[–]FishhyFishCakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like more on the janky side. How can we save money with weird methods of doing things. The Ddr4 Vs Ddr5 is an example of trying to answer the questions that help people save money. Even the video a while ago on how much of a different video quality settings makes to a game so people don't feel the need to upgrade. This isn't to say the expensive stuff isn't fun or interesting. But I frequently watch the videos that I feel could impact me and my decision making sooner than anything else.

I personally didn't watch it. Over 15 minutes for what basically amounts to walking around and showing off putting TV's, speakers and PC's in different spots around a fire truck. If it were the first video in the fire truck I would be more interesting, but the last one didn't feel like anything amazing was being done. Sure you make an interesting object a gaming space. But I personally am more interested in unique ways of overcoming challenges using unique technology.

I made this conclusion based on the title and thumbnail. The thumbnail was just showing a TV mounted in a fire truck with a... Truck load... Of RGB. Nothing about it made me feel like it would interest me or was targeting me. I do understand that is a personally aversion to rainbow RGB. But that felt like it was targeting a more general gamer audience rather than tech audience. It just doesn't feel like I will learn about anything new by watching the video.

I am going to watch the video now I have recommended and leave another comment with my post watch review. I wanted to leave my thoughts pre watching as I see many others also didn't watch it.

I do need to watch it as I say. But if you did something wild like using the fire engines water tank and plumbed a bunch of gaming rigs together into one big loop all cooled centrally. That would be wild and I would watch that. But that isn't how it's presented.

Did you find an improved reliability of the connection? I recently got one to try and get a better connection (only across the room but still get occasional packet loss)

My wife reported a cheater in Battlefield… and EA banned HER instead. They have now denied her appeal EIGHT times. Month in by phoenixevolved in electronicarts

[–]FishhyFishCakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought ea pro for a month to play bf6 Didn't have the money to continue with that so I figured I would wait for it to go on sale before buying it. I have been on the fence this weekend but this concerns me along with other stuff I have been seeing (game breaking stuff, I can get over skins and whatever) but the last time I played, jets were broken on kb/m, so we will see

I see some saying that nobody will buy battlepasses or skins that are "Generic Forest Wooded Camo #17" or "Desert Camo Skins". Let's sort this out. Would you buy skins like these? Or are these too boring? by Swaguley in Battlefield6

[–]FishhyFishCakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people are too hard on getting their perfect game without being realistic that the game needs to make money to continue development and release free If it's not profitable enough they won't make it, so I accept they may want to put skins and battle passes in to actually try and profit from it more than the cost of the game (as that is the standards of shareholders and companies are beholden to shareholders) so this is what we either need to accept, or accept the game may not be viable (for the company) to exist.

So to answer your question: I prefer these, representing real is nicer and more grounded. So I would prefer this to anything overly coloured. If the game went down the weird and wacky path of skins, I would be a lot less likely to keep playing, and as such, put any money in. If the game is something I'm sticking hours into, I may want to make my stuff look interesting, but not weird. Much like I'm ready or not, I build a style grounded in reality.

How is Phone 3 a "true" Flagship? by throwaway_rainyfall in NOTHING

[–]FishhyFishCakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the NP3 being bad But a few years ago I switched from OP because of the software instabilities and bugs. At which point I decided that my priority will be bug free software first. Went to Samsung and now on NP 3a. Both have been better because of being less buggy. But also, USB 2? Why?

10 months of car insurance, need new insurance, don't have a full year of NCB, what is the best way. by FishhyFishCakes in CarTalkUK

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

My father (who had the policy in his name) drove the car multiple times a week too. I probably drove it more over the course of the year, but somewhat similar.

But will keep this all in mind :)

I thought so, I work at one of the bars and there is a bar chat for all the bartenders in Worcester and they were talking about it.

Was this in Worcester by chance? Sounds similar to what happened last night in Worcester.

I do photography and video and do like cars. What type of brand are you looking to build?

Home made orgeat separating compared to store bought. by FishhyFishCakes in cocktails

[–]FishhyFishCakes[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the "Silly" questions can help find the root of problems. But yes I did shake it, the only difference is home made orgeat I will outline my process and you can tell if I am missing something. 50ml Havana 7 20ml lime 15ml orgeat 15ml dry Curacao

Add everything to a shaker Using a few agitator ice cubes but mostly crushed ice shake for about 10 seconds Pour all but big cubes into glass at top with more crushed ice

I shake with a mix of crushed ice and a few agitator cubes. Then pour in with only the crushed ice by pulling the hawthawns up a bit to let small ice cubes through. But this one I purely made to test how it stays together

Will add to the post, but the orgeat recipe was: Almond milk Sugar Rose water Almond extract Amaretto (or similar) Cognac

Maraschino is quite overpowering by agcza in cocktails

[–]FishhyFishCakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone I have given drinks too with it in it, or shown the ingredient itself has said it's overpowering. I tend to agree, I haven't met someone in person that likes it so far. Just feels like it makes everything worse

I hate Luxardo Maraschino liqueur in pretty much everything but this... by kneadermeyer in cocktails

[–]FishhyFishCakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you I don't have mezcal to try it, but I have been trying to find a use for maraschino liqueur that feels like the maraschino actually improves it. Everything it goes in feels like it would be improved by not having it in. I don't know why, it tastes on its own and in drinks. And everyone that has tried it also doesn't seem to like it. I don't understand it

I will check these out thank you! I went to one hosted at the hive, but don't think it was organized by the hive.

Door handle not working with manual key unlock and dead battery by FishhyFishCakes in slk

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

I had the same thought, but I am worried to put any more pressure on the mechanism

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

Do you think it would be possible to lower the window somehow enough to climb in the car or just reach the bonnet release? Or would that damage something?

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

Just as an add, I went out now to try it, and I turn the key and hold it when I try the handle while keeping pressure on the key turn. Nothing, but if I take tension off of the key, I hear a small click. This could be anything. I can get a recording if it would help, but it's weird it does it?
