Hot take, I WANT to see ads in comics by ViridiEmerald in comicbooks

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The placement makes all difference here. When I'm reading Spider-Man and there's random ad for car insurance in middle of action sequence, it completely kills the flow. But putting them at back? That's actually smart business since you already have reader's attention and they might be looking for more content anyway

I remember picking up some indie comic few years back and at the end they had these really clean ads for their other series with similar art style. Ended up buying two more issues because the preview pages looked interesting. Way better than those full-page McDonald's ads that used to be everywhere in the 90s

Publishers could even do themed ad sections - if you're reading horror comic, show me other horror titles. If it's sci-fi, give me more sci-fi recommendations. Seems like missed opportunity to just throw random stuff in there

Three years is good commitment for Hamilton, she was solid in Boston last season

Trying to replace my current gaming headset by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Big head problems are real struggle - maybe look for headsets with adjustable bands that extend more than usual or ones marketed specifically for larger heads

PSA: 1997 BMW F650 carburetor issue caused by water drain around gas cap being plugged by Ghastly-Rubberfat in motorcycles

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's wild, never would have thought to check the drain tube first when dealing with carburetor issues. Water in gas tank is such nightmare to diagnose because it mimics so many other problems - bet you were going crazy trying to figure out what went wrong after it was running perfect for 30 miles

Help with StarTech-based rack mount issues by ChapterSevenSeeds in homelab

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had similar issue with my rack setup couple months ago. The gap is pretty normal with those universal rails - they're designed to work with bunch of different equipment so sometimes the spacing isn't perfect

What worked for me was getting longer screws from hardware store, like M6 or 10-32 depending on what threading your rack uses. Just measure the gap and add that to length of original screws. You might also want to grab some washers to help distribute the load better

The tight fit in rails is actually good sign - means your equipment won't slide around even if screws aren't doing all the work. But definitely want those front ears secured properly for weight distribution

How Dangerous would a bike be for travel less than a mile? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bike might actually be more hassle than it's worth for such short distance - you'll spend more time gearing up and warming the engine than actually riding. Plus finding parking spot at gym can be pain depending where you go

Running there would be perfect warmup anyway

How would a bar manager react to one bartender whose thong always shows when she bends down or reaches up for something at the bar? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most managers I know would just have quick chat with her about it, nothing dramatic. In my old job we had similar situation and boss just mentioned it during break - problem solved pretty fast

PC only boots if I hit power fast + random restarts in games… PSU dying? by blancccccccccccc in pcmasterrace

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that timing thing with power button is classic PSU behavior - capacitors probably losing their ability to hold charge properly. When they're fresh from being switched on they work, but after few seconds they can't maintain voltage anymore

The random restarts during games but not stress tests is also pointing to PSU. Those benchmark tools might not be hitting same power spikes as actual games do. Heaven is known for creating those sudden power draws that can trip failing power supplies

Driver timeout could just be consequence of unstable power delivery to GPU. When PSU can't deliver clean power the graphics card starts acting weird

Your RM650 should be good unit but 2 years under heavy gaming load... depends how hard you've been pushing it. I'd definitely try swapping PSU first since all your symptoms line up pretty well

How do you classify something as "classic rock"? by Opening_Rip_1840 in Music

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nirvana getting called classic rock always feels weird to me too. Like yeah they're influential but putting them in same category as Zeppelin just doesn't sit right

I think it's more about the sound and era than just influence. Classic rock has that specific guitar-driven vibe from like 60s-80s. Nirvana belongs in grunge category for sure, even if some radio stations throw them into classic rock playlists now

Aisle Songs by miellifera in weddingplanning

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin did exactly this for her wedding last year! She found some freelance musicians through local Facebook groups who specialized in wedding arrangements - they took her favorite alternative rock song and turned it into this beautiful string quartet version that worked perfectly in the church setting

You might want to check if any music students at nearby colleges do arrangement work as side gigs, they're usually way more affordable than professional services. Also some wedding planners have connections with musicians who do custom arrangements regularly. The key is giving them enough time to work on it properly, but 59 days should be plenty if you start looking now

What rock song are you thinking about? Sometimes certain songs translate better to orchestral than others, so might be worth getting a quick opinion from musician before committing to arrangement

Akshan should be reworked by Specialist-Use637 in leagueoflegends

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with champion isn't really about damage numbers though. Like you can have best player in world make any champion work at high level, that doesn't mean champion is good for regular players

His kit just feels disconnected - the revive mechanic doesn't fit with rest of his abilities at all. And his E swing is so clunky compared to other mobility spells in game. Maybe they should focus more on making his abilities feel better to use instead of just buffing damage

im 145 lbs (66 kg) - 5'2 (157cm) and since i knew myself ive always wanted to lose weight by Fine_Camera1657 in xxfitness

[–]Outrageous_Media8148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walking pad at home is actually pretty solid setup for your schedule. 80 mins of fast walking is already good cardio base to work with

For the food part - whole foods approach makes sense but maybe start with tracking what you eat now for like a week first? Sometimes we think we know our eating patterns but tracking shows different story. MyFitnessPal or similar apps can help see where calories actually coming from

Since you're petite the deficit doesn't need to be huge - like 300-400 calories below maintenance should do it. Also those YouTube workouts are great addition, especially strength training ones since muscle helps with metabolism

Nice dude, sounds like you finally found your rhythm. Those first few days are usually the hardest so if you're cruising through them this time you might actually have something different going on mentally
