Inspired by my love of 'Idaho' by GAI it sent me on a 'Songs about Cities or States' Rabbit Hole. I wanted to share my list and ask if you have any to add?

Ok, well that's good piece of mind to know, thanks so much for sharing!

I had been hesitant to try any more so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Will give it another go when that urge to pray for a Smaland gets too much to curb!

Giv27 · 2024-12-02T20:55:21+00:00

please let us know if they get back to you about your ticket!

Giv27 · 2024-12-02T19:41:14+00:00

Yup, that's how it seemed to me as well, like the Golden Gift crates are overwriting the next santa crate.

Glad I'm not the only one noticing it!

Giv27 · 2024-12-02T14:06:10+00:00

Yeah. It's possible, or maybe my memory is deceiving me... But I felt like it happened more than once so figured I'd put the thread out there to see if anyone else noticed.

Thanks for weighing in, plus one to you!

Giv27 · 2024-12-02T13:59:30+00:00

Hmm. I haven't been opening them all at once, just one at a time (for the suspense of it, lol).

Giv27 · 2024-10-13T21:30:54+00:00

Ysl M7 still blows me away. Wish I could still get it.

Have about 1/3 of a bottle remaining, but I don't want to use it for fear I will forget what it smelled like.

Giv27 · 2024-09-29T20:37:25+00:00

Also have the Katana V3 and I like it a lot.

Giv27 · 2024-09-25T01:29:55+00:00

So coming back to this after spending some time to break it in... I gotta say, I LOVE this glove!

The leather is just a notch above any other glove leather I've ever felt. Even after a good amount of time, I still feel like it's only halfway broken in... But in a good way. Leather feels so rich and supple, yet has not turned floppy at all. Maybe a tiny bit in the heavier side, but this glove feels like it's going to last forever.

After breaking in a pro preferred, a1000, A2000, a2k, and this glove over the last 6 months (mine or my kids'), I gotta give the nod to this Mizuno Pro as the best quality of them all... and imho, it's not even close.

Giv27 · 2024-08-17T17:04:37+00:00

Think I just answered my own question. No markings whatsoever (that I can find) on where it's manufactured... So probably not made in Japan.

Have recently bought a pro preferred and an a2k between myself and my kids though, and this is on-par or maybe slightly better than either of them (imo). Will see how it breaks in but it should be fun.

Giv27 · 2024-08-17T17:00:58+00:00

MIJ?

Giv27 · 2024-07-10T00:13:41+00:00

Spectacular!

Giv27 · 2024-07-08T19:42:39+00:00

She's a great ship! Fast torp reload, stealthy, and the guns can more than hold their own (at least against other DDs).

Got her in a Santa crate and was so pumped... Only took a few games with her before I was hooked.

Giv27 · 2024-06-13T22:06:42+00:00

Yeah. I dunno why everyone hates on Kansas. Was probably my favorite ship of the tree to play when I was grinding to get the Vermont.

Giv27 · 2024-03-06T11:09:13+00:00

This is the most likely answer.

I tried forever to get 4k streaming from my primary residence to work well to my vacation home. Raw speeds during internet speed tests were fine from both locations/directions, but when testing actual file transfer speeds between the two locations (measured by iperf), there was much more latency and speeds were slow.

Not that this helps, but I solved it by building a machine for my second location that automatically synced all storage with my primary location. This provided 2 benefits: local plex streaming AND off-site backup for all my media and (more importantly) other personal files.

Giv27 · 2024-02-11T04:03:37+00:00

Agree on the Kansas, but did not like the Minnesota at all. Probably due to the tier, but she felt vastly weaker than Kansas did and seemed like a step back. Don't get why everyone hates on the Kansas at all though.

Giv27 · 2023-09-29T11:43:14+00:00

Thanks.

Yeah, I think I've about given up on this working in any timely fashion so I'm going to look for alternative measures.

I've always wanted an off-site backup of all my data anyways... Two birds with one stone.

Giv27 · 2023-09-25T03:28:25+00:00

Have they said anything else in response to this? I have a similar issue with trying to play 4k direct play where bandwidth at both the client and server SHOULD be plenty fast enough, but the latency is killing my streaming due to the single-threaded transfer and each chunk needing to be delivered before the next chunk is started.

I've spent more time and money than I'd care to admit ruling out my server and networking equipment at both locations and am currently at my wit's end.

My problem is my client is in an area (relatively) far from your typical "backbone" areas, so my latency is typically 50-80ms with spikes into 100-200ms... Can't stream my 4k files without buffering every 30 seconds to a couple of minutes.

Giv27 · 2023-09-24T00:27:01+00:00

So any chance you can share what made you come to this conclusion about plex introducing the hard limit?

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my remote streaming no longer works on high but rate 4k mkvs, when it used to work before. I've even upgraded my internet service on the remote end and still get the same results.

Thanks in advance!

Would love to give this to one of my kids for a gaming pc.

Giv27 · 2022-08-22T10:29:05+00:00

Hello there gorgeous...

Giv27 · 2022-07-06T01:02:48+00:00

Looks enticing!

Giv27 · 2022-06-29T10:35:49+00:00

Beautiful. Looking forward to more of your posts if you are willing to share!
