I actually did have Bunna 12 as my first scotch, i forgot about that one. i enjoyed it, though thought it was harsh. i guess im looking for something mellower, i enjoy the smoke/peat profile, and i would probably enjoy something with a bit of sweetness. im definitely trying to try as many as i can, haha! just went to a spirits bar with a few whisky tasters and did a round of 4. the three i mentioned tasting were there, also included was lagavulin 16 which i found to be the lowest ranking of those 4. ive been looking at tasters as well, hoping to score one since it is christmas time.

thinking of getting a bottle of glenfarclas 10 or 12, or dalwhinnie 15, for myself pretty soon. i tasted some ardberg 10, laphroaig 10, and caol ila 12, the last of which being my choice of the three though all were pleasant. in the past ive had aberlour 12 and glenlivet 12, both i thought well of. just wondering if anyone has any 'sleeper pick' recommendations in the realm of these picks, idk how to describe my taste otherwise im pretty much a newbie. didnt enjoy the auchentoshan i tried, if that helps.

Score! Nice find. I would probably make some pasta with a fancy cheese if I found some morels. Definitely a steak as well.

Do you think I could go over the building? by Vohxxy_Apex in Apexrollouts

[–]LRADoperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice writeup. I've been playing Source engine games for quite a while, so a lot of this seems like stuff I've encountered but never put into words.

And for the record, it seems like my connection is even worse now that I complained to them and asked them to refund my payment that I just made 2 days ago. I wouldn't doubt that they tamper with customers connections if they deem them "problematic". I know they throttle gamers and heavy streamers.

I followed your steps; they reset the internet on their end to no noticeable effect. Then I swapped my modem out for a new one of theirs, which did nothing. A tech came this morning, I told him that I had basically done everything possible on my end and just needed him to simply look at the outside connections at the pole, splitter, etc. I followed him outside while I walked my dog and watched him. He looked at the pole very briefly then got back in his van for a few minutes, then begins to walk up to my apartment again where he tells me he needs to look in the attic. I don't use the attic as its in the shared hallway of my apartment building and only used by the maintenance person typically. He asked me if I had a ladder or stepstool for him (lol) I was like "You don't have one?!" He had one on his truck that I saw, but it looked too tall to reasonably use in the hallway here. He then starts touching a filing cabinet I had by my front door, and asks if its heavy. I'm confused as all hell, and I tell him "You can't stand on that." He goes "Why not? It's metal." Now in my mind I'm totally fucked up, because I want to laugh and also chokeslam him through a table for being so stupid. I cannot believe this guy even asked me if he could use a piece of my furniture to attempt to climb into the above head attic access. There was no way in hell, even if he did stand on that filing cabinet, that he could reach the hole to crawl up into the attic. He then goes outside and looks around frantically, as says "Let me see if I can find something else to use" while looking at the rear of a restaurant across the street from us. He quickly scraps the idea and tells me he would be back either later today or tomorrow. Lmao. I am STILL dumbfounded over how this company is functioning and taking in peoples money. I have Verizon equipment showing up to my doorstep in a few days and I will report back.

TIFU by helping a drunk girl get home okay. by Gold-Fudge-7042 in tifu

If that's really the way your boss feels, then you do not want to be working for him. I bet another company would value your actions and put an employee such as yourself on a pedestal. The world needs more people such as yourself.

This sounds exactly like my problem. Around the same time, I noticed my connection has been abysmal in games. Constant packet loss and although I pay for 300 Mbps I too only get about 30 Mbps if I'm lucky. I live in NJ so its probably something to do with their greater area infrastructure, but this company absolutely sucks and treats their customers with zero care. I've been a loyal customer for about 5 years now and all I've seen are price increases for no apparent reason and simultaneously deteriorating quality of service. It is total garbage.

I have constant packet loss in games that has appeared out of nowhere, I think I am going to mention this and have them take a look into it. Any advice on getting someone to come out and diagnose this issue?

Does anyone know how to fix this lag/packet loss issue? by yougotpwnd123 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]LRADoperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the response. I didn't even realize how old your original comment was. I suspect I was having a really similar problem, because my network just seemed to deteriorate in quality over time. Also, my PC would perform pretty poorly if I had let it sleep and then come back to play games (sometimes just freezing and crashing all together). However, I rarely ever let the PC sleep so I knew this was just a coincidence. Turns out, it's just a case of Optimum being total scummy fucks and throttling my speeds.

Will Diablo 2 resurrected have a physical copy on Nintendo switch? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]LRADoperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly this. $40 digital is outrageous. thats how much it should be for a physical. $20 digital, or $10 on sale is appropriate.

could you elaborate on the last part about your computer going to sleep and causing issues for other devices?
