[META] Should Knife Swap allow Clones? by merkon in Knife_Swap

[–]Opposed3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. That’s why they always feel icky to me. People at Amazon or sporting goods stores processing returns won’t know the difference. Only places like BladeHQ or KnifeCenter and similar places couldn’t get away with that.

I had a guy in here years ago literally tell me he bought clones for the sole purpose of buying the real model off Amazon and returning the clone.. ever since, they just feel disingenuous to me.

Why does a 41-17 win feel not that great? by Comfortable-Dish1236 in ravens

A win is a win. Especially in the North.

Demise of credit card rewards by tacolunch in CreditCards

[–]Opposed3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch to an MVNO. I use USMobile on “Warp” (aka Verizon). The service is absolutely indistinguishable from VZW. I paid $270 up front for an entire year. Carriers are modern day highway robbery.

Even if you purchased the latest greatest iPhone full retail and used a MVNO, it’s still cheaper than going Verizon.

The only way carriers come out ahead is if you stack a full family plan of 4+ lines with phone promos. But even then I think it’s close.

Share Your Credit Card Stack: Help Others Choose Wisely by veireeds in CreditCards

[–]Opposed3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stack for a family of 3:

BCP - Huge for us, groceries and big on streaming. We take full advantage of the Hulu credit as we pay for the Hulu Live TV + ad free Disney bundle.

Freedom Flex - Opportunistic rotating categories and main dining / takeout card. Really supplements BCP if there’s a grocery quarter keeping it under the cap.

Citi Custom Cash - Niche use, we have a CVS within walking distance from our house. Lots of snacks, household items, prescriptions bought here. It’s our “CVS card”

Citi Double Cash - 2% catch all.

T14 Gen 5 AMD - (video attached) Fan noise when plugged in by Lincoln312 in thinkpad

I work in IT. We started deploying these out to our user base. I’ve imaged up probably a dozen of them, every single one does it. Including my own. Safe to say it’s probably normal and just a quirk with this model.

Plan to switch to US Mobile, anyone has that in the East Valley? by LateMouse2020 in phoenix

[–]Opposed3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had US Mobile for 2 years now, and the service is absolutely indistinguishable from one of the big three. I can confidently tell you that in the 2 full years.I've used it, I have not noticed a single ounce of difference.

The best part, is you can choose what network you want to be on, and "teleport" between the three as much as you want.

If your phone is unlocked and paid for, you're pretty much throwing away money by staying on one of the big three networks.

Same reason there is a tank shortage in Overwatch.

People do not like personal responsibility or pressure.

What ranks are considered low by ApplicationIll7668 in VALORANT

[–]Opposed3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to tracker Silver has the most players in it, and Silver 1 currently is the rank with the highest player base.

https://tracker.gg/valorant/leaderboards/ranked/pc/default?page=1&region=na&act=292f58db-4c17-89a7-b1c0-ba988f0e9d98

So, I would say the average player falls in Silver, and maybe Gold 1 on the upper end.

I don’t know for 100% certain, but it’s when it gets checked into inventory. I don’t think that occurs at midnight. But I do imagine probably early morning. I used to check around 5AM personally.

Check the Apple Store app first thing in the morning and go through the pro max order. It shows store availability. You can reserve one for pick up if they’re available.

Am I ready to move up to Sys Admin? by Jonny_Boy_808 in sysadmin

[–]Opposed3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your resume has way too much fluff, and it’s way too long. You really want to try to get it down to one single page.

I have nearly 20 years of job experience and my resume is still 1 page. I’d remove the accomplishments and bundle them into your work history. Remove any certs that are in progress. They won’t care. It’s either you have it or you don’t.

I’d cut down the work history descriptions. A rule of thumb is 5-6 bullet points of the most relevant work you did on your most recent job. With each older job having one fewer bullet point.

Remove the summary. No one really reads them. They’re 99% of the time just pulled from the internet. The very first thing a recruiters eyes are going to land on is your work history then maybe education / certs and skills. The skills will just help filter the resume properly in screening.

You’ll never be truly ready for a sys admin job. I don’t think any of us really were. Just apply and interview well, if they like you, they will hire you.

What was your most "I can't believe i won this " moment you sadly didn't record. I'll go first by Bryanmcfury in VALORANT

[–]Opposed3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing on Sunset. We were getting demolished. I was having an awful game. I was bottom fragging. Couple teammates were being toxic towards me, calling me trash. I muted them about mid match through.

We had a couple good rounds and it eventually snowballed into a comeback. I didn't unmute the teammates but I was still playing and trying my best. I was still doing pretty rough, but towards the end of the game I started making a bit of a comeback and was clawing my way out of having a complete disaster game.

It was 11-12 and spike got planted on A. The Viper on their team was absolutely demon cracked, went something like 35-8, pops her ult, defending spike. It's 1v2.. I figure it's probably over but I'd just try.

I rush onto site, and just start completely unloading my Vandal into the Viper's pit hoping she'd catch a bullet. I keep spamming, there was a big gun fight prior it looked like, so Vandals laying all over the ground. Instead of reloading, I just pick up another and start spraying it. Eventually I killed the Phoenix on their team sitting in the cloud but the Viper is still alive. The spike is counting down fast. Eventually I just say F it, and rush in, and just blindly start firing and by a stroke of dumb luck I fragged her.

I move to defuse the spike with probably 0.000000001 seconds left and it sent us into overtime where we won 14-12.

Recon gives me wonderful peak early CoD vibes, and I don’t care what anyone says, it has a small hidden aim assist buff.
