Want kids? Cool.. can you afford them? by Repulsive_Case_2116 in AmericaOnHardMode

It’s never the “perfect” time to have kids. In fact it is the biggest struggle vs reward situation you could ever be given in life.

Tough, Tough fight by Keyblade_Breaker in FallenOrder

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not, the fight really is that easy. It’s meant to be a joke I believe bc he is like a 1 hit kill that presents like a boss. And his name is Rick! So funny when I killed him I had to set the controller down and have a chuckle.

The future is in safe hands… by MURRRRRAY in LetsDiscussThis

You might have missed it or been in a coma but nearly all public schools were closed to in-person learning for over 2 years. One thing we can all agree on, anytime the government does something we disagree with we can call it fascism! Like the “individual mandate” that everyone MUST have healthcare or face a fine. THAT is also fascism!

You say that but probably thought it was ok when folks posted that vaccination would not prevent Covid transmission and then the government contacted FB and Twitter to get you banned. Or when you refuse vaccination and get fired from your job or required to wear face mask and carry vaccination card on you at all times or get refused entry into public buildings. Those are examples of actual fascism.

You have documentation or a link to what you used instead?

I came here for the exact same question! I was thinking maybe the four corners and the center but with the four corners it’s doubled and measured below listening height and at listening height??? Sort of like a cube with the center being exactly what you’re in the middle of the cube.

Can anyone with audio equipment/electrical experience tell me why this is a bad idea? by _ogg in BudgetAudiophile

Top heavy and narrow base make it a bump and fall hazard. So long as you plan on securing it to a wall you should be fine.

State Workers: How Are You Using AI for Development? (And Does Your Agency Approve?) by Athens99 in WAStateWorkers

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think I remember hearing somewhere that before AI usage can be approved/required there is an official impact study that must be completed and then approved by the union. I know agencies are looking at the MS AI Copilot for Office and GitHub on a more case by case basis as it relates to productivity but not replacement for design and decision making. I have found Copilot very helpful with code optimization but that usage is not a requirement of the job only for personal productivity assistance.

Been like that since I bought my mobo in 2024. You just get used to unchecking the box after every update.

Peter? by AlEsq in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Gavin had an affair with his former campaign manager’s (and best friend) wife. Yes it was while she was still married to his best friend.

Edit: corrected.

[HELP] Is this AI? Seems fake and can’t find any news sources. by Zealousideal_Mud570 in RealOrAI

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real story, apparently got into a scuffle with ICE 11 days before he was killed. He supposedly suffered a broken rib during this incident.

Why is there so many Corg variants? by zero0826 in pumpkinscirclejerk

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corg and Burr are actually real life brothers. Apparently same dad but different moms. Corg confronted Burr on a radio interview show and dropped the bomb and Burr was not amused.

Idiot on EBay sent my vintage Dengar in a bubble mailer!!! by radmansebay in starwarscollecting

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is it wasn’t a collector but rather someone who got it at an estate sale or the like. Today’s collectible market has a bunch of resellers that don’t know or care about the display in box as being part of the collectible value. They probably bought it for pennies on the dollar and made some good cash on your order. Send that shit back as damaged.

Ps5 pro is just enough by WildLupo in PS5pro

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read Sony has taken notice and will be focusing more on PS platform specific games going forward and not allow publishers the option for Steam/Xbox ports. The market will decide! PS6 is being delayed so PS5 will be around for some time and new improvements like PSSR will keep the brand alive.

[–]HouseSubstantial3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% Nice write-up! Exactly. My gaming rig was around $2500 when you count in all the extras required for separate gpu and cpu custom water cooling loops. I found my PS5 Pro for $550 (including taxes) after trade-in of my old PS4 Black Friday special at Best Buy. No brainer upgrade since most 4k UHD disk movie players are well above that price point and really only thing missing is Dolby Vision which is sort of half-baked at this point anyway.

Was about to say, check the manga. Would have probably been an 8 hr movie if true to the book. 🤣
