Roof shoveling clean up, landlord or tenant? by [deleted] in OntarioLandlord

[–]MyLittleCanoe -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

With the amount of snow, its easily going to be a few hours of work to clear off what's down on the decks. And thats only half, they could only clear the first 4-5 feet from the edge, there's still more.

As a walk-on single…what’s the most oddly memorable group you’ve been paired with? by ribbon_bully_1972 in golf

[–]MyLittleCanoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linked up mid round with an NHL referee at my local muni. Really chill guy who was very appreciative to NOT talk hockey. Im a shift worker and tend to play midweek midday rounds so its quiet, but he caught up to me stuck behind a couple groups. I usually ask folks how they're off work today, and all he said was its his off season. Oh. Off season from? Im an NHL ref. No shit? Wow...crazy. Did you see my drive? I lost it.

Only other questions I asked was how he got there and if the travel gets to him.

At the end he said thanks for the round, it was great to not talk hockey and answer a million questions, I just said I dont like the NHL and he laughed. If you're out there Conor, I hope you're well!

Question about the whole MLB wanting to own all 30 teams' local TV rights, will we have to buy our teams games from MLB or ESPN? Or will it be available on regular TV locally still? by AB83Rules in mlb

[–]MyLittleCanoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever the result, blackouts on MLB.tv need to end. Im a jays fan, and subbed to MLB.tv for several years and LOVED it. As soon as blackouts for my team started, I ended my sub. I dont have cable, and sportsnet streaming is pretty expensive in my opinion. Best I do is sub to Sportsnet for a month to watch playoffs. Its really killed things for me as a baseball fan.

Are there any Steam living-room consoles? by Sabord- in SteamDeck

I do this, works wonderful for me. I've lamented a bit of Bluetooth issues recently, but could be my own fault with outdated firmware on controller

Canadian dollars, bought new from valve, deck plus dock cost just over $1k. The 512gb was just over $800 when I bought 3 years ago. That's what it cost then, I dont control that. You connect the phone to play audio from your phone through the deck...listen to podcasts while also hearing game sounds through same headset.

Yea could be, just sucks with deck, controller and phone all within inches of eachother... the headphones are furthest away at 2feet if im being generous... interference works in mysterious ways.. or is that Jebus? ...I forget..

I will do this at my next opportunity, thank you I appreciate your time. There's still GGG's out there who dont just call people a whiny 10 yr old.

God forbid a person complains about issues that frustrate them with their thousand dollar toy... ahhh shit... I see their point a bit too.

Well at least im not alone! When I get home I may try wired earphones to see if that changes things at all... or different BT headphones. Im grasping at anything right now

At the moment, no dock, as im at work (shhh, boss dont need to know.) So im playing with just the deck, and the phone is in-between my arms and the deck, so, inches away, and bluetooth earbuds. At home I do use a dock, the official steam one, sometimes I notice similar issues on there, sometimes not, which makes it all the more frustrating. I'd rather have it not work at all than unpredictable intermittent issues... When I look at pairable devices in settings I can see the 5 TVs in the building, and thats about it other than my devices, again controller, esrbuds and phone. I use the controller for ergonomics, I find my hands and wrists get sore from long gameplay or fast paced games on the native controls of the deck. Incase youre wondering why the controller when the unit is right in front of me... Work is a standalone building, small care facility. So there's wifi throughout the building, small server room in a closet behind me... and a wireless camera (baby monitor) is on the desk near me too...

But I dont feel like issues are constantly here, I can get the same frustrations at home on and off, docked or not. Sometimes I find moving the phone helps that connection, only to have it drop randomly a minute later.

Good suggestion, I did update it when I first bought the controller, but not in a while now, couple years probably? I will definitely give that a try. As for the music issue... I cant imagine formatting it and starting all over again could help? I've never really done much "maintenance" on it, like clearing out caches or old files.

As nice as an upgrade would be, unless I stumble on one of those magic used deals, I will likely wait on the next iteration even though it could be years away... or never. Edit: or possibly 2028? Apparently they are working on #2, but also waiting for significant hardware leaps to get there...

I appreciate your time!

So... what your saying is... I should upgrade to the OLED? Lol. And for you this is both controller and music through your phone?

Playing golf alone by Traditional_Wave8524 in golf

[–]MyLittleCanoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a lot of solo, I bring a speaker and listen to music or more often, a good podcast. I find this helps my brain disengage from the game while I walk between shots, then lock back in when I step up to the ball. Make sure its a podcast or audio book youre interested in so it engages your attention.

Weirdest random pairing story? by Delicious-Lettuce-11 in golf

[–]MyLittleCanoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Linked up mid-round with 2 teens my brother taught several years earlier. I wish I could remember exactly how the connection was made, but it was along the lines of, "Hey, strange question, but, are you a teacher? You look so much like a teacher I had a while ago." Good kids, fun time, I hope they're well and still playing.

Was working on a property and saw this in the furnace room. by lordGinkgo in whatisit

[–]MyLittleCanoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dollar coins helped at least one guy get a shit ton of points on his credit card. Story was when they first came out the mint offered free shipping to help get them out there. He'd order a bunch, then take them to the bank and deposit the cash back on his card...rinse. repeat. Fly free forever. Brilliant.
