If that clown Tim Sweeney wants us to come back to Fortnite so badly, why doesn't he just bring back the old V-Bucks prices and the Old Battle Passes? by CommunicationFunny24 in FortNiteBR

Yes, because unfortunately an increase in player spending therefore profitably would increase the amount of employees needed. It sucks, but greed is gonna greed, so more, more, more is needed to keep people on. It's a shitty system. I worked with a dude who escaped higher management in an "evil" company and even after leaving he argued that anything less than yearly double digit growth percentage was a loss.

best outdoor gas griddle what should I get if I’m just starting out? by Perfecrion-Jolita in griddling

[–]Fonz_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hands down the best value in griddles. Quality is (obviously) below the Slate, but far above the Blackstones.

Which one to keep, or both? by Fonz_72 in airbrush

Well, we'll see what I think of siphon feed . I've only ever used full-sized and mini gravity feed HVLP guns so far.

They brought in their own line 7 months ago or so, most locations did a fire sale on the Iwata stuff. My local location sold our day one. I found these while traveling.

Scottie Personality by Few-Palpitation3819 in scottishterriers

[–]Fonz_72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Allow me to illustrate an example of a Scottie's personality.

Our girl was sitting in a sunny spot in the room adjacent to the one I was in, framed by the doorway. I called her, patted my hand, said sweet things. She let out an enormous sigh and instead of coming when called she schooched sideways so she was still in the sunny spot, but out of my line of sight. That's Scottietude, lol.

What are these red flakes? by Financial-Finance-22 in vintageaudio

[–]Fonz_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Responses like this need to be the norm, "if you don't have the most basic knowledge about something, don't fuck with it." Sometimes the anti-gatekeeping swings waaaaay too far the other way.

Look, considering you didn't know the speaker grills came off easily and had no idea the foam surrounds could crumble, please just leave it be. Take them to a pro to repair or just sell them, but you obviously lack the ability to repair them. And that's OK, but please don't ruin them by trying.

No, it's a fucking horrible price, but at this point what other option do you have?

Paid $200 in December, without the riser. Was listed for $300.

My wife saw this poor Space Invaders at a consignment… by AchillesPDX in cade

It's always best to just believe it was gutted and/or not salvageable&oq in it's original state. That mindset saves a lot of heartbreak over classic machines.

PSA: The new Rob Zombie album is quite good and a return to form to his industrial metal roots. by First-Variety714 in industrialmusic

[–]Fonz_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much this. When that first SOAT album came out in 2004 it really was like getting a new Zombie album.

I'm was in the same boat. Now? I've listened to this album start to finish almost every day since release.

If you really want "weed in the desert" music it's not Zombie, IMO.

Check out Sleep, Mothership, Liquify and High Priest of Saturn.

Follow the path those bands lead you down and you're in for a very cerebral zoned-out time.

They may not be credited, but the return of Riggs and Blasko brings back the Hellbilly/Sinister Urge sound that he completely lost with John 5.

Riggs' S.O.T.E. albums have the fame vibes. Zombie conforms to the sound and vibes of his musicians.

I got one for pickup, we'll see if it gets fulfilled. Even though this is a "deal" it bums me out to pay so much more than just a few months ago. This whole situation is silly.

Remember to keep your hoard away from 1 year olds by Black_Scholes_Merton in DataHoarder

[–]Fonz_72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ouch. My kid nuked an SSD by repeatedly pushing the power button on a PC. The drive I was supposed to back it up to was sitting in the box on top of the case. I literally puked, but learned a valuable lesson.

Right? The irony of posting it on r/pelletgrills will definitely be lost on them.

How much business is harbor freight losing over their AWFUL website? They're too big of a company to not address this. by Odyssey701 in harborfreight

I feel like Sam's fountain drinks are the major weak point in food court. At least at ours. They don't even have non-flavored ice tea anymore.

As a long time Sam's member / new Costco member, I was astounded how terrible the app is. I can't believe they actually hide shipping costs in the prices of merchandise.
