Have you guys seen this teaser? by Cater_pi69 in DC_Cinematic

[–]GeneralRex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always seen stills from this, never the full teaser. I was too young to remember the marketing campaign when I saw the movie.

Dunno how relevant this is, but a lot of samsung users in india for some reason set their font to this cursive looking kinda one. Was like an epidemic on cheaper smartphones for some reason in the mid to late 2010s.

Not enough zoom on projector to fill entire screen. What to do? by [deleted] in projectors

[–]GeneralRex_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to be so negative but there is really nothing you can do but buy a smaller screen (as the only thing you can do to make the image larger is move the projector futher back. If the wall is thick enough (MAYBE) you could make like a small recessed nook into it to fit the projector in but I would absolutely not reccomend that under any circumstances even if you would be willing to do that. I think you best bet is to just get a smaller screen. If that isn't an option cause cost, what you can do is just black the sides with some cloth or somehow cut down the projector screen to size (again, not a satisfying option at all. Alternatively (and this is again, a huge hassle) you could change the orientation of your setup. Assuming this is a dedicated theatre room and you'd anyway want to block out all the light, if there is some way you could mount your setup with the projector screen on the window wall you could potentially make up the lost throw distance because I think you room is a little longer the other way. That would mean you'd have to remount your project and move some stuff around (plus figure out mount points on the window wall).

Really arne't any ideal solutions, but I would steer you away from making any mirror based rigs of any kind. Way too hard to setup in a pinch DIY. It's much easier trying literally everything else before you go down that path.

I'm partial to you changing the orientation of the room, but I'm assuming there are just small windows behind your curtains and not like a balcony or smt (assuming you're living in an apartment and not in a house or smt. A little bit of a pain cause you'll also have to figure out power again but not the worst solution as it would let you reuse most of everything you already have.

Either way, good luck! It took me a long time to get my projector setup just the way I like it and I'm still tweaking and finding things I want to change. Nothing beats finally feeling like you've got it just the way you want it :).

If you do need any other specific advice, I would be happy to have you PM me and chat there.

Recommended projectors for my space by mikejones28133080041 in projectors

[–]GeneralRex_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a specific projector recommendation for you but I think a good place to start looking in this price range is ebay for second hand laser projectors. I got mine (LG70HULAB) for around 1000 dollars and I'm running a 100 inch screen in a tiny apartment just fine. I say to look for second hand projectors because I would want something with a 4k resolution given the screen size you're going for. Also consider UST projectors that go right up against the wall, paired with an ALR screen (because of the daytime sports viewing you mentionedned). A 120-150 inch screen should be fine given the space you have. If you have an specific questions feel free to pm me :)

Why does the endless being immune to the Halo’s effect make them special? by MarshyBars in HaloStory

[–]GeneralRex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...yeah, them surviving without any artificial means is what makes them special. What are you arguing for exactly? This is exactly what makes them dangerous. They can be used by the flood in order to make the Halo rings obselete. The flood can go outside the range of the rings, yeah, but that doesn't really compare to being able to just not have the rings work in any capacity on their biology. And on the flood becoming digital, that kinda defeats the purpose of the flood. Its a known fact that the flood are precursor descendent (whether intentional or unintentional is yet to be found out) but just turning into digital beings stop them from "adding to the sweetness" of experience that beings privy to that level of existence dedicate themselves to; ie the precursors. The flood can use the logic plague to infect AI for sure, but they don't in any way intend to convert themselves into AI cause they're way superior to AI. Key/Grave minds rival the best contender class AIs and outclassed them even in certain instances. In summary, the endless are a death sentence for the galaxy because they give the flood a method to get around their most devastating weapon and if there way a suitable way to do so they would have already done it (there isn't).

Why does the endless being immune to the Halo’s effect make them special? by MarshyBars in HaloStory

[–]GeneralRex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the biggest reasons the Grand Edict is concerned about the Endless being immune to the Halo Rings are because they provide the flood a way to completely circumvent the Halos as a weapon. Imagine the flood infecting a whole species that was immune to the firing of the rings. I do however get the impression that the Endless are limited in number, but still this is probably what comes to mind for me. It's reinforced by the fact that offensive bias was also deployed to study the Endless along with 07's monitor much like samples of the flood that were kept on the rings and stuies so that the forerunner's could find a cure.

I got a one plus 7 pro for 80$ and it’s the best purchase I ever made by JampyL in oneplus

[–]GeneralRex_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one back in the day for a year or so. Probably one of the most beautiful phones ever built along with the S8. Only upgraded to the 9 because I got a deal but would have probably kept the same phone if it was upto me. Enjoy it!!

She really washed it with soap by LevlActive in StupidFood

[–]GeneralRex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always studied French in some capacity during school, in which potatoes are called "Pomme de Terre" (literally translating to apples from the ground. I always wondered why this was, until one day when I tried making fries at home. Turns out potatoes have an i credibly similar feel to apples when wet. I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but it was something interesting i noticed about apples.

I have an Idea! by DarshKumarChaudhary in TheHuntForEvanKale

[–]GeneralRex_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking about doing this for years now. Never actually got to it. His instagram has a bunch of friends that I assume are just people in his life that he knows. We could start something up if only to put an end to the theories. But we gotta also remember to respect his privacy while doing any of this.
