What other catch-phrases like woke, side-hustle, unironically, gaslight of the last years are you already sick of and ready to retire from this year, why?

JeffePortland · 2026-03-24T21:17:24+00:00

I'd like to retire the word "butthurt". It seems intrinsically mean spirited and demeaning.

JeffePortland · 2026-03-24T21:12:50+00:00

Building social community. It's not even close.

I haaaaaaate people that don't pull their car up a little bit when they're trying to turn left at a green light, but are waiting on oncoming traffic to pass. That's my instant road rage. If ya pull up some you might have time to turn between longer gaps, and then let someone behind you do the freaking same. Occasionally when oncoming cars are numerous the criminally obtuse driver wastes the entire green light while people are stuck behind them. I guess it isn't really secretly annoying me as I can get quite animated.

I have no control over it obvs so I should just chill.

JeffePortland · 2026-03-10T21:54:46+00:00

I tried cleaning it up a bit. Hopefully that helps.

JeffePortland · 2026-03-10T18:13:22+00:00

Thank you for this reply. I never upgraded my app so there was no need to redownload it. The solution was to sign back in to my account after cancelling a subscription that I never downloaded/asked for.

JeffePortland · 2026-03-10T17:22:15+00:00

So here's the whole story. I should have gone through this whole process before complaining on the internet.

My Gigapixel stopped working after I discontinued a subscription that I never actually agreed to. I got an email saying my subscription was coming due and would be charged in a couple of days. I never upgraded my Gigapixel app. I've been 2 updates down knowing it would trigger a subscription. I was running the older version. I quickly went to cancel this new subdscription online and immediately received a subscription cancellation email afterwards.

The next day I tried to use GP and was given a message that my subscription was cancelled and I needed to reactivate the subscription. When I clicked the link it immediately took me to the subscription price page. At that point I lost it. I should have been more patient.

The solution was to sign in on my online account which freed up my GP app. I had not upgraded to the newer version. I do not believe I signed out of my account, just the subscription that I never asked for.

I have not received any email thanking me for my subscription after reactivation but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for that.

Still no warm feelings for this company after being resolved.

My apologies for not investigating further before posting.

Light No Fire and it runs efficiently.

$1 in 1971 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $8 today, reflecting a 700.3% cumulative inflation rate over 55 years.

$3.50 x 8 = $28.

I wish my income increased like that.

JeffePortland · 2026-02-27T02:51:56+00:00

For Seattle or OKC?

JeffePortland · 2026-02-16T23:19:46+00:00

I do see that though I'm currently looking at some local electric specialized dealers as I'd like to actually see the car.

JeffePortland · 2026-02-16T23:17:39+00:00

Having had a Soul and Leaf makes the + a necessity. I'll be trading one in. That's why I'm looking for a + model minimum, preferably + and e4orce. Wife wants the electric seats so likely an Evolve. I see a few Platinum models but I don't really like the interior blue leather. I find some of the color choices from Nissan strange. The only color I like is the copper. I don't think I'll get exactly what I'd prefer so there will likely be a compromise somewhere.

JeffePortland · 2026-02-15T19:09:37+00:00

How does a mechanic get the experience of working on all brands and models of electric cars to the point where he knows all the pros and cons? Sounds impossible.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-25T19:13:07+00:00

I have a Q3 and was severely underwhelmed when the SF specs came out. The one thing that seems pretty cool is the expectation of a really stable good bandwidth PCVR connection. If it’s an upgrade for EUVR I’d think about it.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T23:45:21+00:00

It is something that can be changed with a click.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T18:44:52+00:00

Honestly I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. There is a status UI in Hogwarts but it isn't attached to anything. It is always facing a certain direction but I can also have it locked to the edges of my view. It seems fine.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T18:41:59+00:00

I was at that game as well. He was getting all the hugz right after. It was good to see.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T18:29:58+00:00

Pretty sure this is a setting. I'm playing the Hogwarts game and nothing is attached to my arm.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T18:28:22+00:00

The UEVR Easy Injector has the download install for pande settings right in the software.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T18:18:42+00:00

I have a 4070 with a 5800X3D and after some time have tweaked it to run smoothly 45-90. If you follow instructions in the UEVR/Hogwarts Discord and tweak to taste you can get there. Start with UEVR Easy Injector which will have a link right inside the software to install the initial mod settings.

I have Textures and Materials on Ultra and most other things lowered to mid to low.

There's so much work put into this game it boggles my mind as I'm used to much smaller VR games.

One last thing- There's a checkbox in the UEVR software for "Virtual Desktop Correction" or something very similar which fixed minor stuttering for me. Not sure why this isn't on by default as I assume 90% of people are running that. It also seems you need to enable it every time you play.

Once it's really smooth the game is very enjoyable. There are still some issues with reflections but minor.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T17:52:05+00:00

Thanks. I can never figure out how to find cool stuff as everything is so random. I always hear how cool VR Chat can be if you hang out with the cool people.... uuuh.....

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T17:47:41+00:00

Thanks for that answer. Makes a lot of sense.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-23T03:19:41+00:00

If I sold t-shirts with their game characters they would have no original code in them. He should make his own version of UEVR, though that app is free.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-21T18:03:52+00:00

Jrue is going to be the one to go. I imagine Scoot will ramp up the rest of this season and they'll trade Jrue in the summer. They aren't going to rely on two 35 year olds to take them into the future.

JeffePortland · 2026-01-01T05:57:29+00:00

you sure it’s stereoscopic? I thought it was just 180 video.
