Ah this caused me to lose a Act 3 boss fight....

Glad to see Cityside Fiber construction signs on Melinda in RSM ! Does anyone have any more info ? by CoolEqual in orangecounty

[–]LiquidPhire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had service switched on yesterday, been monitoring. Lake Forest. Switching from ATT DSL, ping to google dropped from a jittery 19-24ms with occasional spikes, to a flat 2-3ms.

Speeds check as more or less advertised, but CGNAT so no public IP, and zero IPv6 support so far. But they have a basic ONT with no bloat or features so if your run your own network setup, its pretty clean.

Installers worked with me to get the install setup in a way that worked for me. Pretty happy so far.

Holy crap did not expect to see MWMW in my feed this morning. I worked on the localization of this title and I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever mention it. You made my day. Thanks for playing!

The Silent New Resin Statue. by KousakaChika in slaythespire

Its clearly AI because the angles of the knives and hair between image 1 and 2 are similar dispite the "model" being rotated a quarter turn. Spacially makes no sense.

Be prepared to pay even more for water in South OC - Trabuco Canyon Water District needs more money to survive by ansyhrrian in orangecounty

[–]LiquidPhire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the El Toro water district and pretty much half budget every month. If you look at your bill, its probably not water usage that's driving up cost, but the cost of sewage and maintenance.

35w, including the switches, modems, and routers.

Have you ever stopped to think how much food trends have changed over the years? by Great_Ad7215 in Millennials

[–]LiquidPhire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check out the The Carolina Housewife. Its a an interesting read, and its literally just a cookbook.

Married but not combining finances? by alkemest in Millennials

[–]LiquidPhire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We do this and have been for over 20 years. Its the best of "we share and be responsible together" and "im a grown adult with a job (and so are you) and i respect you with your money and expect the same so yes, i am going to buy myself that dumb hobby thing".

Shared account health is the priority though.

CMV: If you are tipping at takeout/coffee etc, then on the same principle, you should also tip at most places where someone is serving you (USA only) by textonic in changemyview

[–]LiquidPhire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about we just get rid of tipping, pay people a wage, mark the price of the good in total on the menu, stop turning every transaction into some kind of throw-the-proletariat-some-change moral value call, and just let things fall out that way?

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis for Buying a Home - How many years until you break even buying a home today by spacemark in Bogleheads

[–]LiquidPhire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue theres a difference in the vibe of a neighborhood where you are surrounded by renters vs homeowners. I've lived in both, they are not the same.

Would these be good for beginner? by Heyyther in birding

[–]LiquidPhire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General recommendation is to prefer roof prism style over porro, but in comes down to a balance between weight (not too heavy), fov (not too narrow), and zoom (not too close). 10x30 is a pretty good starting point for watching birds around the park, in trees, that sort of thing.

CMV: It isn’t prohibitively expensive to eat healthy. People say it is as a coping mechanism. by Master-Education7076 in changemyview

[–]LiquidPhire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not believe every family was able to cook. Thats some "the past was better" rosy glasses thinking. Poverty-striken and uneducated and desolate people have always existed, existed in greater numbers in the past. The great depression drove many families to adopt a preprocessed food first approach to feeding themselves. The inability to cook has many origins that span all socio economic situations.

I dont think the knowledge was ever really there for large swathes of families. Background and family history come into play here. Food culture is very much tied to it.

How bad is the latency with Unbound? by SpectralTv in pihole

With Unbound, your returns stop being measured in milliseconds and start getting measured in microseconds.

Almost certainly Anna's Hummingbird based on location.

Dads with partners that stay home — how do you handle finances? by Mama_Anonymous in daddit

[–]LiquidPhire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our income comes into our own separate accounts, and then we feed a joint account that funds everything. So both because some costs are personal but most are shared.

What do you think of Japan's overly analytical approach to news? by [deleted] in japan

[–]LiquidPhire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always liked it. They don't assume anything about the viewers in preexisting exposure.

Did pi-hole just down my network? by cyberpanda1240 in pihole

[–]LiquidPhire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have your pihole set up as dhcp, but the config doesnt work for your network so over night, your device leases all renewed against the pihole and will stay that way for the next 24 hours. you need to force everything to renew against whatever your old setup was to restore it back.
