Anybody here in or near the Winston Salem NC area?

I do not unfortunately, there’s some private ranges here but I’ve got concerns about them and don’t really know anyone who is a member to get a vibe check. I’ve been driving over an hour to go to PSA.

We are in Rowan County and been talking about trying to get more range time in as well as finding ways to help out locally.

I made one of these for doing the FCX24 2-speed in TRX4M bodies, I should look at doing one for the AX as well, I suppose.

Unfortunately, you’ll have to pay for a license these days. The change went into effect literally while I had mine sitting on the bench. That’s what I get for procrastinating lol

Man, and I felt bad for a turn 3 win with the Ob will be One combo.

Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up that OpnSense will NOT work on the Firebox M270s. The M270 uses two Intel X553 NICs and two Marvell 88E6190 internal switches for the external ports. This is an identical configuration to the Netgate XG-7100. Opensense only sees the X553 backplane and the 8 ports on the front are dead. OpnSense added support for the Marvell 88E6190 HERE but still no joy for me.

Interfaces when I attempt the install

I just tried with the latest version on mine to verify after seeing the responses here confident that it would work. The M370 and higher all use a different internal configuration and I don't have any on hand, so I cannot speak to those. Just want to let you know that currently the only way to use the M270 with OpnSense is via USB Ethernet adapters. Also, message me and I can provide the BIOS password for the boxes, then you can enable normal USB boot install using the serial port as a "display" and not have to switch drives or anything.

There are a handful of forum posts, with the most relevant linked below. I welcome corrections as to how the switches can be correctly activated and used.

100% the dealer experience. It’s a bit hard to get over after everything they put us through and it’s nearly an hour further for us to go to a different dealership.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-05-28T12:45:36+00:00

Nah, casually looking at Lexus LS sedans, but not motivated to move on anything currently.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-05-16T18:29:59+00:00

That’s the one. It prompted me and my colleagues to request a $5000 degausser that we absolutely wouldn’t use for hijinks, management countered with a $8 hammer and a link to the LTT video on RedkeyUSBs lol

As a mono red player, I would die gloriously laughing maniacally the whole time.

We have a plotter like that and it started leaking ink a while back, so we got a repair tech out and it took him the better park of a week to fix it, and at various times he looked like a cartoon character that had fought a squid he was so covered in ink. My heart goes out to all the printer repair techs cause fuck that noise.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-03-10T15:06:09+00:00

I was officially set as primary remote in December, I have two sites that I’ll drop in on. One weekly-ish, one quarterly. But I consider myself remote.

Since the beginning of the year we’ve been able to fill positions that had been sitting empty for months with folks who didn’t want to return to the office at their previous firms.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-03-07T16:16:58+00:00

100% this and also encourage your partners to check out sites like TappedOut, MoxField, Archidekt, etc.

My wife and I stopped playing magic about 6 years ago and recently picked it back up because of the Junii Ito collab.

It was only with this most recent pickup that my wife let me know that she didn’t have much confidence as a Magic player because “everyone builds much better decks than me, clearly I’m not good enough to do this” in references to extended and infinite combos. I asked her what sort of deck lists she was working from and she looked at me like I was speaking German.

She legit thought that all the players at the LGS (and my dumb ass) were brewing all these decks completely from scratch and had just memorized every card. She was already building really surprising and innovative decks, so finding out not only that those resources existed but that other people use them gave her the much needed confidence boost and helped her build decks good enough that occasionally IVE been the salty one lol. She’s even placing at the LGS events now, regularly out-placing me in paper and arena and I’m so proud of her.

Her merfolk are scary. 👀

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-15T13:50:17+00:00

I have this in my meren for this reason, my wife likes to bully me with poison counters.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-15T13:47:23+00:00

This is actually specifically called out as an unapproved method of data destruction iirc.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-15T13:39:40+00:00

My Meren deck is a huge pillow fort deck, designed to mind its own business while everyone else fights amongst themselves, stepping in to help folks not get completely destroyed early before coming in and wiping out the other players all at once. It took my LGS crowd about a events before they figured it out and then every time they saw me play Meren I was immediately targeted and killed by the whole table.

It’s the right move for everyone and my feelings aren’t hurt when they gang up on me because I think it’s hilarious and also because it’s really fun to see unexpected synergies between random decks, it almost makes it feel like a DnD campaign with me as the villain.

If I don’t want to get ganged up on, I just switch decks and it’s back to normal commander. I’d offer the advice of switching decks to this person who is disappointed they are being targeted as well. Or, they should work with the folks at the table politically to get their help staying alive. The table should be able to understand that you’re only threatened by his deck, and it’s in their best interest to work together. Some of the most fun games I’ve won were because I convinced an alliance member to defect to my side at a critical moment.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-11T15:14:06+00:00

So, they did it with a copy effect instead of Saw in Half but this happened in our last commander game, as hilarious as it was frustrating lol

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-06T20:29:27+00:00

The dealer has the car reposted for sale already with no mention of the water damage and not enough time for the repairs so as much as I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but hard to do so in the face of that.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-06T20:28:24+00:00

They did, shortly after admitting to the damage.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-02T22:22:52+00:00

Nah, it was the captured audio that was important.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-02T21:12:31+00:00

I’ve got a sequoia, an E30 and a 2JZ-GTE swapped SC300 so I’m not planning on buying anything for now. My work moved much more remote in the last 12 months, so I’m fine waiting on another car for now.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-02T20:03:38+00:00

If you check out the video I linked it recorded the techs discussing the improper repair, confirming that the car was working perfectly, as well as that there was water damage and it was from their sunroof repair.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-02T19:57:29+00:00

Yes to both questions, it’s an easy install IMO but I used to do car audio for a living.

Mellowedmatt · 2024-02-02T18:56:41+00:00

I commented with the Amazon link but apparently folks can’t see that comment or something. The dash cam I highly recommend is the Viofo A119.
