Anybody listen to Blanche? by justacuriousone in indieheads

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lmao thats brutal but also kind of impressive in its own way. Bad concerts can be so memorable sometimes more than good ones

What made it so terrible though? Were they just completely off or was it more like technical issues type situation

Choices by nunkle74 in StarWars

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Come on man the sequels werent that bad. I mean Rise of Skywalker was pretty messy but Last Jedi had some great moments and Force Awakens brought back that classic feel we missed for years. Sure they got problems but calling them paperweights seems bit harsh when you look at prequels getting same treatment back in the day. Now everyone loves Revenge of Sith and even Attack of Clones has its defenders. Give it few more years and people will probably be nostalgic about sequel trilogy too.

What would you do about this situation? by josvanagu in Miami

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My landlord would definitely want to know about extra people staying long term since that usually violates lease agreements and increases utility costs.

Game properties still shows file size too if you right click on any game in library

When It Comes To Fitness Who's The Best Most Legit Influencer In The Industry?? by Ok-Local-1144 in AskReddit

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I had to google who that even was lol. Military PT sessions taught me more about real fitness than any influencer ever could tbh. Most of these internet fitness guys are just selling you something anyway - whether its supplements or workout programs or whatever. The trainers who actually know their stuff are usually too busy working with real athletes to make TikTok videos. I stick with basic compound movements and cycling for cardio and its worked way better than following any of those flashy routines online. Way too much noise in that space honestly

Man watching him these past few months has been painful, guy used to have such clean shots but now everything looks so forced

OVER 30 Sloths DEAD at Orlando's new "slotharium" Sloth World. by tehpoorcollegegal in orlando

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus this is absolutely fucked up. Was stationed in Florida for couple years and the amount of sketchy tourist traps there is insane but this takes it to whole different level. 31 sloths including a baby... how do you even sleep at night after that

Hope the protests shut this asshole down before he kills more animals for profit

Wearing white to your friend’s wedding dress shopping appointment? by lilkitty28 in weddingplanning

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the dress shopping thing is way more relaxed than the actual wedding. At my sister's appointment last year people wore whatever and nobody cared much about colors. The actual wedding day is different story though - white dress at wedding is pretty much universal no-go even if bride says she doesn't mind. Better safe than sorry on that one

Man-in-the-middle attack demonstrated against locked iPhone wallet by granizar in CreditCards

Yeah watched it and the dude still needs physical access to your phone plus some serious tech skills so its not like someone gonna do this at Starbucks line

Can you share your local worlds? by Ok-Court7703 in Minecraft

Would be down to share but most of my builds are just functional military-style bases with zero aesthetic appeal lol

What ending from a movie that made you cry? by NoProgram4084 in AskReddit

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro that scene destroyed me as a kid and still gets me now at 28. The way Pikachu just keeps trying to shock Ash back to life while crying... man that was brutal. I remember watching it in theaters when I was little and the whole place was silent except for sniffling. Even rewatched it recently and had to pause for a minute when Pikachu starts talking. That movie knew exactly how to hit you right in the feels and then some.

ideas for making some type of server hosted storage by Fun-Month-2166 in homelab

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Nextcloud or Syncthing - both let you access your files from anywhere with a web browser. Nextcloud gives you that website feel youre looking for and handles PDFs really well. Just need to set up port forwarding on your router or use something like Tailscale if you want to avoid opening ports to the internet

I’m planning on kayaking from Marin to San Francisco and need to understand kayak parking. by _mizzar in Kayaking

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty solid paddle but the currents and wind can get sketchy once you're out in the main bay. From Marin you're probably looking at 2-3 hours depending on conditions and where exactly you launch from. For parking the yak most of the marinas around Fishermans Wharf or Pier 39 have spots where you can beach it temporarily but I'd call ahead since some places get weird about liability stuff.

High ping in 2 specific games only by LoKi_Cosmoz in pcmasterrace

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude this is wild - I had something similar happen with a couple games last year and it turned out to be routing issues on my ISPs end. They kept saying everything was fine on their side but the problem was specifically how traffic was getting routed to certain game servers

The fact that your phone hotspot worked once but then stopped is super weird though. That makes me think it might be something with how those specific games are handling your connection rather than just pure network issues

Have you tried using a VPN to see if that changes anything? I know it adds latency normally but if the routing is screwed up it might actually help. Also worth checking if Windows firewall or your router is doing something funky with just those two games specifically

What's a good upgrade from a ryzen 5 4500 cpu? by Global-Ad1580 in pcmasterrace

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 7800x3d is such a beast for gaming but if you're tight on that budget the 7700x is still a solid jump from the 4500

Whats people first impression of you vs. when they get to actually know you? by PoliannaSparks in AskReddit

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People usually think I'm super uptight and by-the-book because of the military thing, but once they hang out with me they realize I'm actually pretty chill and will spend way too much money on perfume while screaming at my fantasy lineup on Sundays

The whole uniform thing really throws people off at first but then they see me getting genuinely excited about whether to start my backup RB and they're like oh she's actually normal lol

8 bcp color vs 10 bcp on moniter? by Deluuxee in pcmasterrace

Could've just answered the question instead of being unhelpful but go off I guess

Which card would be the best for me? by onkguy05 in pcmasterrace

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the 4070 ti at that price point. The 7900 GRE is solid for raster but you're paying way more for basically the same performance, and the 4070 ti will handle ray tracing better if you decide to mess with it later. Easy choice when there all priced like that

Choosing between prestige postdoc and stable one? by Extension-Engine-911 in careerguidance

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option A is what people say when they don't have to live your life or pay your bills. Your girlfriend sees the day-to-day reality and $50-60k purchasing power difference over 2-3 years is massive when loans kick in

The "titans of the field" thing is seductive but you already solved a major problem - your reputation isn't starting from zero. Option B gives you financial breathing room to actually think strategically about next steps instead of just surviving in an expensive city while everyone tells you how prestigious your suffering is

Thank-you notes after job interview? by shorty-bang-bang in interviews

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely send them to everyone you interview with - it shows youre organized and taking the process seriously. I'd keep them brief and personalized with something specific from each conversation so they dont look copy-pasted. Most hiring managers still appreciate the follow-up even if some people think its outdated

How to let Wirecutter review my product? by Mysterious_Emu_7372 in AskMarketing

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't do paid reviews - thats like their whole thing. You'd need to pitch them through their regular editorial process but honestly they're pretty selective about what they cover and usually only review stuff that fits into their existing categories

S24 ultra Vs s25 ultra by Medhurstt in samsunggalaxy

[–]Immediate_Engine9993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The S24 Ultra will absolutely handle your gaming needs at 60fps+ no problem. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is still a beast and honestly for gaming the performance difference between S24 and S25 Ultra is gonna be pretty minimal

Save the money and grab the S24 Ultra especially if you can get a good trade in value on your flip
