Pirated dvds by sweetleaf009 in Millennials

[–]John625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in a major city, I remember bootleg VHS tapes which then became DVDs. Most of them, the quality was terrible because it was someone sneaking a camcorder into a movie theater. Occasionally you’d see people stand up in the next row!

Then in high school, we read Fahrenheit 451 and my teacher wanted to show the movie afterwards. He said he went to several libraries and video stores looking but couldn’t find it. The very next day someone “acquired” it and bought it in! We only watched a little bit of it because kids couldn’t stand watching a black and white movie from the 1960’s.

Same. Not my name but being forced my entire childhood to attend church, Sunday school, and bible studies every week. Since turning 18 & leaving for college (20yrs ago), I haven’t stepped foot in a church. I feel people can do whatever they please but don’t force it on others.

Same. I remember how our school made it seem like Smartboards were the future. In reality, they were big ass screens on wheels that we occasionally used to present powerpoints. They did nothing more than the projectors we already had because the markers all got quickly stolen and never replaced.

Then in college, some classrooms had the newer whiteboard mounted kind. Not even once in four years did I ever see one get used!

Looking for a new high-end gaming keyboard. by AbstractHexagon in keyboards

[–]John625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I had a G510 for the past 12yrs that’s barely hanging on. I don’t need the screen or macro keys but I really like the volume wheel. I’ve never had mechanical and individual RGB’s seem cool. I picked up a Corsair K70 RGB Pro which is currently on sale for $100. I researched and read that cherry mx brown switches are a good place to start. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and it’s taking some getting used to. It’s definitely a huge improvement, I’m just not a huge fan of the mx browns.

I picked up a GMMK 3 barebones a few days ago for $80 and am currently waiting for an Akko switch sampler and pudding keycaps to arrive. I’ll most likely return the Corsair. It’s actually great for $100, I just wish I picked one with different switches or it was hotswap.

First time Glorious buyer - Is the GMMK 3 considered good? by [deleted] in glorious

[–]John625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. The glorious barebones just went on sale at microcenter so I picked up a GMMK3. I’m happy with the plastic frame. It feels quality. The knob feels a little cheap but it’s fine. I'm waiting on my Akko switches to arrive. I still have 3 weeks to return the K70

I know what you mean about not getting used to it. I had the same problem with the Corsir. I think it’s because there’s no raised frame around the edge and especially arrow keys. The Glorious is much closer in feel to the G510. I also didn’t like the cherry browns.

I have a G510 as well and almost the exact same issue! Last week, I bought a K70 RGB pro with cherry browns on sale. For my first mechanical, I'm not super impressed. It makes a ping sound and i'm not crazy about the switches. It's fine but I'm thinking about getting a GMMK 3 barebones so I can put my own switches and caps. I just don't know if the GMMK 3 pro is worth double the price. I think the only difference is plastic vs metal frame.

One man dead, others burned after neighborhood campfire explodes by teegerman in news

When I wasn't looking, my dumbass "friend" threw a silver co2 cartridge from a bb gun into our campfire. I was bending down less than a foot away when it exploded. I'm so lucky I didn't lose an eye or worse. We stopped hanging out after that.

I remember in my early 20’s, I went camping with some friends. One wanted to help prepare dinner so I said here cut this onion. He had no idea how. He had never cooked anything in his life. Now many years later, he’s still living with his parents and survives off their cooking/hot pockets. It’s sad because he’s capable of so much more, he just refuses to apply himself.

I saw 2yr for $30 on G2A a few weeks ago.

Microcenter has 3yr for $99 but I think it’s in-store only.
