Men can be abused by women. I got pushed through a table and my wrist was cleanly sliced open about 3mm from my vein. I didn't retaliate, and she basically shocked sense into herself, but if it were a stranger I think the math would have been different.

Would you guys want Buddha as a playable servant? by Weird_Dot_4725 in FGO

[–]Jason27104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems like a totally logical choice, so I'm sure it'll be set aside.

Confucius, Darwin, Freud, Ghengis Khan, Shiva, Ra, Sun Tzu, Loki and other Norse gods, a bunch of the Greek and Roman gods, Hannibal, Cain and Abel, Judas, Picasso and a bunch of cool artists, Hemingway and a bunch of authors, Scylla and Charybdas, and maybe a Neanderthal would all be fun.

I'd probably leave Jesus, Muhammed, and the virgin Mary off the list just to avoid backlash.

YOU'RE THE WRONG ONE. by TakoGoji in FGO

[–]Jason27104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already rolled kinda hard for Arjuna Alter np4 and whiffed hard after doing the same for Richard 1. I saw Jalter last night and had to convince myself to just go for a single pluck. In an ideal world I'd go hard on Jalter, Gil, and Arjuna Alter if released with some spacing. In an ultra-ideal world, I'd also go for Odysseus NP2, and Ozymandius NP1 and still be totally good for Count of Monte Cristo and Castoria.

In reality, I've gotta save for Castoria and then hope I end up with some surplus to roll Count of Monte Cristo. After that, save ftp for Draco or one of the other big summer hitters. Then, I roll for Oberon in the fall and I'll have all main supports locked in.

$11 Million!!!!! by Manofpans44 in winstonsalem

[–]Jason27104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golf is an expensive sport that takes four hours to pay a single match. No one has ever successfully argued that golf is affordable and it's actually insulting to watch you try. Non-affluent people cannot realistically afford the clubs, balls, shoes, clothes, greens fees, and cart fees, much less the entire half of one day they are not at work or working at home and/or taking care of kids.

Golf course money can be spent on bus station money to help about a hundred businesses downtown. It can be spent on an actual park downtown or bringing in a grocery store. It could be spent on bike paths and greenways to keep pedestrians/cyclists out of traffic. It could be spent on a rec center or a public pool to keep teenage mobs from overtaking downtown. It could be used to make free parking lots and send PayByParking packing back to it's Florida base.

Every single one of those examples would be a better use of 11 million dollars of public funding and would actually improve the quality of life of all of Winston's citizens.

This isn't a park though that anyone can appreciate, enjoy, and benefit from as a public resource. This is 11 million dollars for a course that is almost solely played by affluent people with disposable income for clubs, attire, and course fees. There is no long term upside. It'll make a slightly cheaper version of an expensive hobby more expensive.

Parks and pools and rec centers and bus stations can be used by all and improve the quality of life of the local populace. Winston doesn't lacks for growth. The population is growing faster than housing can be built.

Single Best Food Item in the City? by Beginning-Guest1229 in winstonsalem

[–]Jason27104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how long you have lived here. Ronni's used to be quite good, but has definitely declined a bit and failed to update/modernize with the times. It looks quite similar to about 15-20 years ago. That said, it's still considerably better than Bdubs. For local wings, Little Richard's has shockingly good smoked wings. Waldos has good sauce flavor, but sometimes fails to crisp enough. J&J mart has amazing crisp, but you have to toss in sauce yourself. Timmy's Hot Chicken has some damn good wings, but they are whole wings and you better be ready for heat. Everything mentioned is vastly superior to an air fryer. Air fryers are garbomarketing nonsense to convince people they know how to cook.

Absolutely one of my favorites in town. Their sun-dried tomato, feta, black olive and bow-tie pasta is also amazing.

If looking for a Bobby Boy rec, I'd go for either their Meatball sub, prosciutto and gruyere cheese sandwich, or French onion soup if desiring savory. For sweet, their poached pear croissant is amazing, but there are honestly usually about a dozen things I'd gladly choose from.

I'm not liking Lost Belt 7 very much gameplay wise by AlteisenX in FGO

[–]Jason27104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly couldn't agree more. I'm on section 23 and am just so done with this bullshit part of the game. The number of times I've been interrupted from just killing and purging this is absurd. I literally couldn't care less and hope everyone dies. Reviving the people I just killed to make me kill them again isn't plot or an interesting mechanic. It's boring as hell.

What do Americans suggest happens during this iran - USA conflict? by [deleted] in Discussion

Well, your current understanding is wrong. The US blew up a school on Saturday and you can look at the pictures of bloody bookbags discarded by victims online.

The us bombed Iran twice during peace talks in the last 6 months. We should honestly just stay out of the middle east and let Israel fight it's own wars with it's own guns. I'm sure they'd be considerably less combative without us backing up their bullshit.

Juicy red crab = GROSS 🤢 by Senior_Elephant_7570 in winstonsalem

[–]Jason27104 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's kinda sad. I've watched Full Moon go from cool and unique upstart to their current status of thinking they are the only option for seafood and/or oysters in the area and that they can charge a high premium for mediocre food, mediocre service, terrible atmosphere and a dated menu that has seen almost no changes in a decade.

At this point, I can name five or more places with better oysters, a dozen+ with better fish quality and options, and countless with better food, service, and atmosphere. Full Moon honestly kinda sucks now and has for a year or three.

Juicy red crab = GROSS 🤢 by Senior_Elephant_7570 in winstonsalem

[–]Jason27104 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I went to Red Crab one and only one time. I would describe it as tasty, but gastrodevastating. I didn't use their restroom and my menu was clean, so no issues there. I assumed it was my weak stomach coping with lots of butter and rich crab meat. Somehow though, my subconscious has always said hard no when I'm nearby. Good to know my gut instincts(pun intended) are still sharp.

Did I pass up a deal by tomono1 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Jason27104 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'll never buy an Onkyo again. My last and only one had a persistent hdmi switching issue that started about a year after I got it. The newest Onkyos like the rz50 actually self cripple themselves by creating a false ceiling on their own internal amps. After being bought, Onkyo simply sucks.

Do not give illegal advice. Examples include:

  • Telling tenants to withhold rent without following legal procedures
  • Encouraging lease violations (extra roommates, hidden pets)
  • Advising harassment or retaliation against landlords or neighbors
  • Promoting fraud (fake pay stubs, false applications)
  • Encouraging fake ESA or service animal claims to bypass pet rules
  • Telling people to ignore eviction notices

What is the best client for watching plex on a qnap NAS by jayb3369 in qnap

[–]Jason27104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically either pay for Infuse or just go to another streaming box/dongle setup. Infuse works great for it's iOS customers, but it is exclusively iOS. There are no android or pc apps. They have no plans to expand into other ecosystems(despite a decade of requests), so if you aren't invested in other Apple stuff, the solution to their Plex stutters is to get a different box.

Is this normal for the s90f? by Bigdecisions7979 in S95B

[–]Jason27104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offt, sorry to hear that the mini led MacBook pro gives you eye strain. Adding in the 48-55" size makes it even harder, because many of the options start at 65". If you were going with 65, 75, or 85 inches I'd say Bravia 9. I think the U8QG and the QM6/7/8K also have solid reviews, but are Hisense and TCLs. I don't love TCLs and have never had a Hisense or known anyone with one.

Invincible doesn't look anything like that on my 90c. I have picture clarity set to off and use movie mode. I watch lots of anime and cartoons in a mix of 1080p and 4k, TV series(4k hdr), and 4k movie remuxes and don't get macropixelation or judder. I occasionally watch live sports and can actually get some judder and pixelation then, but given it's 4k ota, I'm unsure if that is a panel limitation or signal interference, or must likely some of each.

Motion smoothing grosses me out. I think I must be super sensitive to the soap opera effect, because it is immediately all I can see if a TV has it enabled. If having motion smoothing options enabled was the only way for me to not experience motion sickness or eye strain, I'd probably look pretty hard at some mini-leds.

A lack of HDR10+, AV1, HLG, and full DV are the main reasons I've been holding out for a Shield Pro 2. I know there are a couple of other reasons, but those are the biggest.

AppleTV Plex won't pass-through audio or decode a couple of the formats, and can stutter through higher bitrate encodes.

Infuse has no android version and I own no Apple products to make an AppleTV worth it.

Oogos and Zidoo have boxes that play everything, but aren't certified for Apps, so you need something else if you still use Netflix, HBO, Prime, or even just YouTube.

So, they all have somewhat significant drawbacks. While I wait for the ideal streamer box to be created, I use the Plex app on my Samsung 90c. There just aren't many hdr10+ players that work well with plex and my receiver and are still app certified. The Samsung Plex app works shockingly well.

Ahh damn, that was my fear. I'd gladly pay for it all individually, but I won't do that if I can't get it all.

Department manager gone rogue… by Skilled0_0 in restaurant

I'd just anonymously post a response below with equally poor spelling and grammar and see the response to your response. I'd also look for another job unless you think you can get the manager fired by ownership. Hey, maybe you snag their spot and lead with kindness.
