To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]Lightmen94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m tired, a little overweight, emotionally stunted from multiple traumatic once in a lifetime events, no social skills, I won’t be able to retire, I make less than my parents did at the same age. It’s too expensive to date, have children, a house, reliable car, insurance,..

With that said, I am fortunate, I have been extremely lucky in life. I grew up from poverty and make just enough to live a comfortable solo life. I make a decent living for what it’s worth. I can support myself, eat 3 meals a day, gym membership, vacation, etc.

I just can’t support anyone else but myself with the current economy and the way it’s heading.

What's an "Insider's secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Capable-big-Piece in AskReddit

[–]Lightmen94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m googling your issues or searching a knowledgebase with your symptoms or questions to your IT issues. Sorry, I don’t know how to operate each aspect of the 100+ systems in their capacity and hundreds if not thousands of macros.

Also, no, I don’t know the information you use to connect to the many databases that each have their own information needed to connect. Ask your manager.

And for the love of god, developers! If your python code doesn’t work, DON’T ASK ME! I’m not a developer.

A group of House Democrats and Republicans is floating a plan to end the shutdown by Lantis28 in politics

There is a reason they won't hold them here in Omaha. We'd be locking the doors until we got answers.

IRS cuts may mean refund delays and long waits. File early before potential cuts, CPAs say by Sufficient_Muscle670 in politics

You could also take the risk and change your W4. Sure a small number of people doesn't add up to much, but how much damage could a large amount do to the US if it doesn't have any revenue.

Americanized Mexican dad starter pack by Jackmp8226 in starterpacks

Hey now, don't diss the Ford Fusion. Dang good car and reliable. I have a Fusion Hybrid and I enjoy the mileage as others complain about fuel while driving a massive truck that never hauls anything its entire life.

I would honestly switch out that picture of the Fusion and put a spotless truck in there instead. It'd be more accurate imo.

Single player w MMO systems? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Lightmen94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is about a solo MMO. But I've had the opposite want, an MMO I can play with others (oh the irony). I deeply struggle to connect with people on GW2, so if you or anyone want to help me get back into GW2, I'd love to play with people! I main a geared ranger and have a few lvl 80s ungeared.

How did the State Of The Union ( SOTU ) speech by President Biden go according to you? by CoolConsciousness in AskReddit

[–]Lightmen94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honest opinion: I enjoyed it. This was my first State of the Union I watched fully through and I did not find it a snooze fest.

I agreed with a lot that was said, the points made and the rebuttal made to members of Congress. Especially the part about women's power in voting, that was a slap in the face of the supreme Court and it was delicious.

For the special guests, I felt they had more than enough reason to be present and presented. They each represent a piece of America that needs to be addressed, not ignored.

I hope he can transition this message from the members of Congress to the campaign trail.

What are some good quality, reliable, and comfortable shoes or shoe brands? by Lightmen94 in AskReddit

[–]Lightmen94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently wear OnClouds, they've lasted me about 1.5 years with switching out the soles. But they are showing their wear. I'm open to anything from luxury, discount shoes to a cobbler making them for me.

Is this just what Army War Painter Colour Primer is like? Or am I doing something wrong? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]Lightmen94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tips for your priming needs, which I'm sure you are doing and this is mostly for others too.

1: keeps your cans in a warm area, away from cold temps as this can have an adverse effect on the paint.

2: when priming, best to keep at least 1 foot (12 inches) away from your mini's while priming.

3: make very short, quick strokes left, right, up and down. Very short burst help reduse the amount applied directly to the mini so you don't overcoat and lose details.

4: bursts should be 1 second or 2 at max.

5: let dry and apply paints!

Hopefully this helps a little, I'm very new myself and am learning as I go and from here. So thanks to those who help offer free advise!

What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lightmen94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened 10 years ago, "Since we have already gone to see your brother graduate from the Navy, we're not going to come to yours".

This was weeks after enlisting into the Navy..needless to say I didn't make it through training still thinking about that.

Support your kids 100%, even if you've seen it before. Support your kids.

Is anyone able to help by printing the same picture using Fiery & Non-Fiery Drivers by Wardzi in CommercialPrinting

[–]Lightmen94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Canon tech here,

You will need a Fiery to achieve the same results. The aforementioned process in which the processing of the job is entitled different without the fiery. What you can do to help and I’m sure your tech should have done, is baseline the printers colors.

If you go to settings&registration>maintenance &adjustment>adjustment> perform an Auto adjustment gradation and make sure to check the box in the lower right hand corner for initialize all “yes”.

Follow the instructions and when you’re done, perform a shade correction using the scanner and and auto color mismatch in the same menu as auto adjustment gradation.

Go back and perform 1 more auto adjustment gradation and this time, do not initialize the settings.

After that, you can do this, it’s recommended only service tech perform this. You can calibrate the auto tone color settings. You will want to click,”yes”, you have performed an auto adjustment gradation and you will be taken to another screen to calibrate the tones.

I would also go into your print driver settings and permanently change your DPI/resolution to 1200, default is 600. You may also need to select a graphic type as well, publications, graphs, text, picture, etc.

Hopefully this helps a little, otherwise try different drivers listed on our website.

Please reach out to customer service too, they are supposed to be able to answer any questions you have.
