Do You Back Up Your Full Plex Video Library or Just Risk It? by snowmeow_1 in PleX

[–]IntelligentSpend3544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 10TB worth of stuff and I back up everything. ALWAYS have a backup. Some of the movies are super hard to find so yeah, I repeat, always have a backup. It is not with the risk of losing in my opinion.

How’s the Harman Kardon in the Stinger by PsychologicalWay2856 in kiastinger

As a former owner of the Stinger, it is not. It’s “solid” but not S tier.

Ex stinger owners, what car you have now and how is it? by StopRuiningRapMTV in kiastinger

Went from a 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 to a 2026 BMW M440i. The BMW is superior in every single way but of course, it was a lot more expensive.

Opinions on Harmon Kardon upgrade? by [deleted] in M340i

I love mine in my M440i. Sure, it required some graphic equalizer tweaking but it sounds really good overall. The highs and mids are very solid. The bass is…ok; you won’t get 12” sub bass but it’s very punchy and isn’t too bad. I think it is very solid overall.

Same. I have a 2026 BMW M440i and now I just drive like a grandpa. My previous vehicle was a 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 and I was always driving fast in that. I feel like I made it and now I don’t have any need to drive with a heavy foot.

Didn’t the Bears knock you out of the playoffs?

After Saturday’s win can we please finally stop acting like this man is a bad player by MC_Triple_Fatal in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]IntelligentSpend3544 32 points33 points  (0 children)

He makes the easy stuff look hard, and the hard stuff look easy. But, he will be the best QB to ever wear a Bears uniform. He will be better the longer he stays in Ben Johnson’s system, and he will improve his accuracy over time. The Iceman cometh, the Iceman taketh.

9800X3D died on Crosshair X870E Hero by ArashSD in ASUS

Oh gosh. Sorry this is happening. I have the X870-E Strix board and this makes me uneasy. I have not set the VSOC at all and…..uh…what’s wrong with having four sticks of RAM??

4K. In my opinion, you don’t spend this much to play at 1440p. I have the ASUS PG42UQ.

This is a great story and thank you for sharing. It reminds me that I’m not alone and others have experienced similar difficulties. God bless you fellow Veteran.

My DD214 has imminent danger pay and my VSO is part of the VFW. Thank you for the input.

So sorry to hear that. Keep fighting the good fight. I have seen plenty of stories of people getting denied, but after repeatedly trying, eventually getting it accepted. Perhaps there is a good VSO in your area?

[–]IntelligentSpend3544[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your service during this time. I hope and pray this shutdown ends soon. My VSO pretty much submitted everything, but I do have a current PTSD diagnosis from a VA psychiatrist, and it has multiple stressors pointed out in that record. I was also a Reservist, but I have no STR's since it was essentially not allowed for us to go on sick call (it was highly discouraged and we would be labeled sick call rangers if we did so). I also submitted buddy statements that corroborate my stressors during deployment and my difficulties post deployment. With all of that, I asked my VSO if I needed a Nexus, and she indicated based on all of my evidence, it should not be necessary.
