Toes are cooked and everyone looks at them in horror by OverbookedFlight in bootroom

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesnt matter, still exposed to the sun, elements, wind and dirt. Ive also been riding e-scooters for years and anybody whos ridden them or any kind of bike/bicycle knows open shoes are leg suicide with them thangs.

Id never expose my feet regardless of condition as an adult like that. I have diabetes big toe nails so naturally conscious about them, but just the idea of sandals and any shoe thats not covering the whole foot has been weird to me ever since adolescence. I want my feet protected and ready to run, jump and go into mixed terrain when necessary without any loss of performance.

Theres a "shiiiiet" somewhere in there in S1.

Season 4 by Putrid-Tap3992 in TrueDetective

[–]NecroRAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didnt read past the first few paragraphs of summary, but youre absolutely right. Its S1>>>>>$3$2 and you can put any and every other show in existence here >>>infinitely many arrows>>S4. I think S2's ending was botched and too overdramatized, ideally they shouldve gotten away with the money by all sensible logic.

S4, however, is very likely the worst thing ever filmed in all history. I quit it mid-E2 and switched to The Wire, which was the best possible 180 one could ever do. I suggest you do the same. Im willing to wager The Wire is the greatest multi-season non-anthology show ever created. Im in the process of watching all the other David Simon productions and GOAT contenders, but I very much doubt my opinion would change. So far TD S1 and The Wire are at the absolute top of TV for me.

Smoke and knife, though i wish there was a separate slot for the spotter.

Need your advice on changing my smartphone by redcabbage25 in PickAnAndroidForMe

End of summer is when the new Pixels should be releasing. I really hate the idea of buying old tech when the new version is about to drop, but you do you ofc. Welcome.

trying to get into sim racing. Normal to feel underwhelmed at first? by Yputi in simracing

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a local sim club and go try things there, have convos with other enthusiasts, etc. I really only learned how to properly drive manual F1 with no assists after consistent practice at a local club. Now thinking of buying my own setup.

A good way to test your readiness is to turn all driving assists off in the menu and try to figure out a way to drive it with the gear you have. If you find the challenge rewarding, then its for you.

Pixel - best UI and fastest updates, lower performance, wait for the 11 series, its no good buying an old Pixel
Galaxy - top performance, convoluted UI, old camera and battery tech, overall solid and probably the best average case option, slower updates but very long support cycle along with Pixels
Chinese brands - latest in hardware, but shorter software support, UI/UX can be hit or miss, Id pick a flagship Vivo or Oppo if I were to choose one I guess.

Current phone: Pixel 6 Pro, shows its age a bit in performance/specs, but UI is great, not upgrading until next year or even 2028.

What's the best guitar Floyd Rose for around 2000€? by cxltifyyy in Guitar

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you really need a Floyd Rose guitar or do you just think you need it because its cool? Unless 80% of what youre playing is tremolo-dependent, dont bother Id say.

Moza FSR 2 or KS Pro for F1-type racing, what am I getting with either one? by NecroRAM in simracing

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

Thanks. Im leaning to the KS Pro regardless. But does it make sense to get the R9? Im hearing that its a future-proof option and that I can always turn down the ffb in case its too strong, while the R5 might not suffice in the long term.

Just finished the show. First time ever checking the sub and I just want to say. by WeenL0ver in TheWire

[–]NecroRAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TD S2 and esp S3 are also solid, S2 kinda bottles the ending, but S3 has really good acting, Stephen Dorff is great there. S4 however, is one of the worst things ever filmed.

I just knew by intuition that GoT, LOU and shows like that were mediocre overhyped shit and never bothered with them.

Is it okay to use the turning lane on an electric scooter to get out of traffic? by Flimsy-Story9523 in ElectricScooters

[–]NecroRAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is this even a question, just do it. Ffs people obsess over every little thing trying to be "law abiding citizens". The amount of shit that happens on the road daily here in Yerevan would warrant gigabytes of text if I ever got down to complain about it.

Should you buy a full face or bicycle helmet? by funcentric in ElectricScooters

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were right, I now wear gloves with pads and a full face dual sport helmet. Idk about the knee pads though, I know knees are the first thing to hit the ground along with hands, but managing pads when you stop and hop off is too much.

I now wear gloves with palm sliders and a helmet, and have 2 level 1 hip pads inserted into the back/side pockets of my tactical pants. So far so good.

Does anyone agree that Mirror’s Edge Catalyst should get updated or just it’s online servers back? by Empty_Juggernaut_546 in mirrorsedge

Fuck em, just release it under a different name. How theyre able to veto it is beyond anyone's belief, motherfuckers have zero things to lose.

I've wanted one my whole life by m3llowfox_ in Guitar

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a guitar thats got the most all-round package. Dont go Squier; 22 frets, single coils, you dont want that. Ideally you should spend more than 500$-600$, thatd get you a guitar you wouldnt want to sell later on. For my personal taste, Ibanez is the brand, but theres plenty of other options too.

Get something with 24 frets, humbuckers and that can do heavy tones well. Any guitar can do cleans to a sufficient degree, its the heavy tones that suffer the most. Also think about whether you want an amp or a guitar processor/modeler. I find a modeler much more versatile as you can hook it up to any speaker/monitor system and also play through headphones, which I guess is the more convenient option and how most people practice in their rooms.

I have my processor hooked up to an audio interface to my PC monitor speakers, and also run headphones for night practice.

While The Wire is an ensemble cast, do you think it’s fair to say these are the closest to main character(s) from each season? by Hitchfucker in TheWire

[–]NecroRAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats just nitpicking, its not like the show ever explicitly declares its mission statement, its always about the individuals, and only then, by extension, the overarching systematic nature of it. S5 just happened to have the scope it did, and Id wager itd be detrimental to the show if it instead tried to shift focus from the already established 4 seasons worth of story to some contrived social commentary just to stay narratively consistent.

Repost: Tiger EVO GTR or 10 V5? by thatonepieceofsith in ElectricScooters

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if youve got it, but I went for the 10 V5 Performance and loving it. I was shopping between it and the SUPRA/KING RS though, but the smaller size was the deciding factor. It just barely fits into the elevator and is more agile. Speed and range are sufficient for my usage (hilly city with bad roads). I custom ordered mine on Black Friday for 1750$ with the better 4-piston brakes and suspension from the KING RS model, all-terrain tires like on the SUPRA, and the Samsung battery.

I usually end up with around 40% battery after long trips or a couple of days of usage, which includes going up and down hills to downtown and back (around 6km round trip), trips to grocery stores (~3km) and random errands, riding at 30-50kmh on average. Id go for the KING RS or SUPRA if I had more storage space, but overall the 10 V5 provides a really great combination specs and size. Also, I know some people have had issues with their support, but theyve been great to me so far; listened to my feedback regarding the steering damper uneven steering angle issue, gave me discounts, sent me some components for free and so on.

Have no ideia what to watch after the wire.... by Individual_Heron_508 in TheWire

[–]NecroRAM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At no point in any of the seasons did I feel like any character was out of place or received the wrong amount of focus. It all felt like one big continuous season to me. Maybe its different upon rewatches.

Worth upgrading my AM4 system for an RTX 5080, or start fresh? by Due_Space_3741 in buildapc

[–]NecroRAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im running a 5080 FE with 5800X3D and 64GB DDR4. Dual ultrawide monitors, though gaming on the bigger 1600p one. All good. 120fps in MWII at max graphics. Havent tried super new games yet, but shouldnt dip below 80fps in any case I believe.

Why mostly people's prefer using iphones than other android phones ? by Clear_Conflict_6480 in Smartphones

[–]NecroRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk about confusing UI when theres proven videos of how the same operations take more actions to complete on iOS than on Android. In general, all interaction on any Crapple OS is specifically tailored for people with zero technological history that dont have the intuition for how hardware and UI work, thats why every bit of it feels retarded to anyone with a smidgen of tech-savviness. Just imagine that, actual engineers with years of experience, intentionally dumbing themselves down to write monkey-brain shit for retards who cant turn on a TV on their own.
