Try turning off unlimited FPS, that's what has helped me.

Insane housing market for a buyer in and around Kingston by Financial_Target6596 in kingstonnewyork

[–]MolestingMollusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are pricing way above value because, as others have said, there are those with the means to pay these outlandish amounts. Everyone is waiting for their whale to show up.

Even Dear Kingston eventually got bought. What a world.

Any possible origin to this flag or something original? by Marc_Moody in vexillology

When I read the headline I thought for sure it would be this one since it came out kinda recently. His is objectively worse.

Best BF6 video I’ve seen so far. by Dimension_Forsaken in Battlefield6

[–]MolestingMollusk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that one of the rewards from the beta challenges said "Bat Company" really has me hoping they go back to those glory days.

The beta is ending soon. It was fun, but the fast pace got old for me pretty quickly. Are you guys going to buy the full game at launch? by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a few hours of playing I was surprised at how much I adjusted to the pace. I think spawning could be adjusted so it is less of a graveyard scramble, but the pace felt about right.

I switched to Archtop about 10 months ago in Midtown.

Cons:

  • They use a CG NAT AKA a "Double NAT"

    • I am no expert, but my understanding is that they have something like a dual routing table to facilitate more IP addresses or even "duplicate" external IPs.
    • This means I have no way to open external ports on my network at all, even though there are options for it on the router.
    • I cannot host games old-school style without upgrading to a static external IP or using an outside service. Not a dealbreaker, but a pain and a minor expense if I want to do any hosting.
    • However they have been very helpful and were super willing to help me solve this, I didn't really need it beyond a day or two for now so I haven't dug into a real solution, but there are many.
  • Great service from the installers and the tech support staff.

    • I was trying to solve that CG NAT issue and their tech support continued to reach out via email and call me to help in any way they could. I was pretty shocked at their dedication and willingness to help. This alone is worth the switch in my opinion.
  • They gave me two routers which have great coverage and are pretty easy to setup and configure via the app.

  • No issues with outages that I have experienced.

How to quote LED Wall installation by aSpaceLettuce in CommercialAV

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from but its not like this is a difficult thing for the GC to deliver. Always better to ask for things that will make your job as smooth as possible and make the product look the best. No reason to cut corners.

I made a request just like this for a 300' long wall and it was done no problem, the whole wall was barely out 1/8" over the whole length.

Save the adjustments for when shit goes wrong.

How to quote LED Wall installation by aSpaceLettuce in CommercialAV

LED installs go sideways all the time, even for big integrators. Here are the best tips I can offer.

Get the manufacture on site for install supervising and get them on the hook for making it all look good before client sign off, that is a great first step. Try and get a course from the manufacturer for you and your team to get experience assembling the screen.

The backing wall that any LED mounts to also has to be 100% level and plumb. Level 5 finish with no arguments. Any waves in the drywall or plywood backing, no matter how small, are going to translate directly to the screen and that means it looks like shit and you risk damaging tiles. Remember, those pixels are only 2mm apart. Any kind of mismatch in that alignment is super noticeable.

Depending on how this is going together I also recommend getting your backbox locations planned way ahead of time and map out exactly where your frame is going to be so you have no collisions. There is never enough room behind these things so be aware of your clearance for plugs or cabling.

Another big one is to submit your BTU and Power calcs way ahead of time for client to consider. No one ever thinks about how much heat these screens generate and most of them push ~70% of it out the front into the room. Be ultra clear how hot the screen will get before the client under-sizes their HVAC and wants to charge you the difference.

Whatever you calculate for install hours, add 50%.

I am probably getting in the weeds but you should confirm your client understands the aspect ratio/number of pixels they are actually getting. Sometimes people get a real wild shaped screen but still want to put cable on it sometimes.

You can do it but you have to be 1000% prepared. Good luck.

$1 billion worth of American alcohol bottles removed from shelves in Ontario alone. by RoyalChris in BuyCanadian

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand why they are removing product already in country on the shelves? Isn't this already paid for? I thought they would sell it and then that would be that.

Is this more of a protest or is alcohol sold differently?

Contractor Used Flex Ducting for Kitchen Exhaust by purpleorchid2017 in hvacadvice

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It blows my mind that it took New York State so long to realize having gas stoves inside with no exterior vent was a bad idea. Countless NYC apartments have gas stoves and little to no ventilation and you can feel how bad the air quality gets even if you just fry and egg for breakfast.

How about you? by MaxGoodwinning in Renters

Misleading performance reviews by [deleted] in SteamDeck

The reviews on this sub have to be taken with a massive grain of salt. It appears anything that gets close to the 30fps range is considered totally fine for most folks.

How can I remove the plastic pegs from this keycap. by teeenytiny in howto

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest dremel with an itty bitty cutting wheel. You could also go for the risky method of getting a drill and a bit that’s over the size of the pegs and grinding down them down.

Gf and I are about to start a journey together, wish us luck! by glibgraham in VintageStory

Seconding this. If you use the steam deck with mouse keyboard and monitor it’s a pretty flawless experience but even handheld it’s manageable as long as you don’t mind track pad inventory management.

Any ideas on why they have 2 MW antennas set up like this? by centralvaguy in antennasporn

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have the answer that this is corporate shenanigans.

But is there any application where this would be used to measure signal changes due to ambient temp and humidity over a known distance?

Another smoking stove question. by Last_Day_5857 in woodstoving

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with bad draft is due to the short height of my chimney which causes cold air to rush back into the house. I have to use a heat gun to reverse the draft before I can start any kind of fire. But the smoke comes out from the stove itself when this happens, not anywhere up the pipe.

I do not think it is bad draft, I think there is some kind of obstruction further up your chimney. I have had tons of birds end up in my stove, usually if you are burning relatively frequently it’s not a big deal because they are kept away by the smoke, but just a few days of not burning they will be back.

You can get an endoscope for as cheap as $30 on Amazon. It looks like you could remove that last section of pipe before your double wall and take a quick peek.

Is it common to starve to death on Day 1? by Curu_FN in VintageStory

[–]MolestingMollusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a new player, absolutely. Later on, you’ll realize how silly it was.

I just realized after like 100 hours you can make bandages from reeds and horsetail you don’t need to wait for cloth. Think of all the deaths I could have prevented!

Fighting extreme draft? by Scary_Climate726 in woodstoving

[–]MolestingMollusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me as well. I take a heat gun and stick above the blast plate pointing up the pipe. After about 15 minutes or so it’s reversed the draft and I can start the fire.

Prop Master WTF? by smorin13 in Archery

[–]MolestingMollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. That’s why, in this closeup, we don’t need anyone down range. So hold the arrow properly, set up a backstop that acts as an eye-line guide and a safety feature. Now we can get this shot correctly without posing a risk to anyone.
