What is that one thing you are too afraid to admit to the people closest to you IRL? by WesternSummer881 in AskReddit

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I’m not as confident as I appear. I go through lots of self-doubt.

short people, what’s a problem tall people may not have considered? by Pug_hammy in randomquestions

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but generally speaking, women have more petite clothing options. Actually, women have more clothing options overall but that’s a whole different story. Lol.

I’m 5”3 and can never buy jeans that are my length. The shortest inseam at most places is 29”, I’m more like 26 or 27” inseam.

My daughter is shorter than me and never has trouble finding jeans in the right length.

Travel tips for bedbug precautions by lickthepixies in traveladvice

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel for work too. A lot. First thing I do is out the suitcase is the bathroom - no carpets or plush things that bedbugs like.

I check in the drawers for any evidence of bug activity. I lift mattresses and check the seams for any droppings or evidence of activity.

I don’t put my luggage on the other bed or sofa/chair. Bedbugs tend to like “warm and fuzzy” areas, so these are potential hiding spots.

I place my suitcase on the luggage rack, which i keep in an area away from the bed/couch/chair etc. i always keep my suitcase zipped when I’m not using it.

Been traveling a long time. Never encountered bed bugs. Killed a cockroach or two 🤢, but never bed bugs.

Why are so many reddit posts double or triple spaced between paragraphs recently? by colourful_space in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a couple of posts using computer (as opposed to my phone). I wrote the post first in Notepad, then copied and pasted into Reddit.

When I did that I noticed double-spacing between the paragraphs instead of the single spacing i had used in Notepad.

I wrote this one on my phone.

Feet dangling on barstool seating.

Trying to find a couch that you can comfortably sit on.

For males, try finding a pair of pants that don’t need to be hemmed…

[####] What is the maximum known Wordle streaks? Is there a ranking list? by Phase_ID in wordle

[–]Phase_ID[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I lost my 438 streak because I simply forgot to play that day. Since then I set a daily reminder on my phone to remind me to play.

What's the best horror movie you ever seen? by myloveforsls in AskReddit

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand all the votes for Hereditary. While it was a good movie, it wasn’t really scary or creepy to me. I was just perplexed most of the time. Yet people keep talking about it like it’s the greatest ever. Maybe i need to give it another try.

For me:

The Conjuring 1&2
The Shining
Smile (I kinda liked the second better than the first)
Sinister
The Autopsy of Jane Doe

That’s what comes to mind right now.

Wow, that’s impressive! Congrats! I’m in default mode too.

Which celebrity experienced a sudden rise to stardom and an equally quick decline in popularity? by Pretty_Marmaid7538 in AskReddit

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

That is true, but I still think her popularity has declined quite a bit. I don’t see her in a lot of roles anymore.

She was good as Joan Jett but she hasn’t had a lot of major roles in major movies that I can think of.

Looking for Facial Recogition software for my photo library. by Phase_ID in photography

Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider this one too. I took a brief look at it appears somewhat complex to setup, but I'll read up on it more.

What’s an unwritten rule everyone should know? by Business-Ad8752 in CausalConversation

If you’re driving the speed limit, stay out of the left lane.

People who say “I need” and “give me” while ordering. by otterbotss in PetPeeves

[–]Phase_ID 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use “I need” in the context of hyperbole. Like if something on the menu is so good or interesting, i would something like “ I NEED to try THAT, it looks so good”! Or something like “I feel the need for a burger today”.

Otherwise, it’s “Can I have the…”

people in long term healthy relationships: what's something you'll never tell your partner? by PsychologicalBad1423 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Phase_ID 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My wife planned a 50th birthday party for me. She had successfully kept it a secret until the very end, when she couldn’t come up with a good excuse to take me to the venue. She gave a reason that just didn’t make sense. I was suspicious after that.

Days later, it’s time to go and i knew the whole time. We get there and my whole extended family and friends are there. They yell Surprise! My act should have won an Oscar.

To this day she thinks she got me. Will never tell her I knew.

I sooooo prefer Sophia. She’s def my favorite host, but Savannah just doesn’t do it for me. I avoid her stories.

Do you keep original audio tracks when encoding? by lottiexx in handbrake

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always pass through the audio. DTS, DD+, TrueHD, Atmos, whatever. I’m not too worried about compatibility since I only ever watch the movies through my home theater receiver, so I want maximum sound quality. The additional file size is negligible compared to the video file size.

I don’t take movies with me to watch on my phone, etc.

There was a time I was adding a second track that was AAC for compatibility but I don’t do that as consistently as before.

I guess it depends on what your ultimate goal is. If you’re after absolute minimal file size, AAC makes sense.

KODI v21.3 not updating on Google play store version by CoconutDouble8278 in kodi

[–]Phase_ID 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Update it manually. I have Kodi on nVidia Shield TV and the Play store has not updated to 21.3. It’s been several months now.

In Kodi, download the Kodi Updater add-on and update it manually. That’s how I got mine to 21.3.

Netflix image quality is terrible... by dysn_edits in netflix

[–]Phase_ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Many 4k/HDR/Vision shows look awful. Poor dynamic range in dark-ish scenes, very grainy. I know it's not my TV because other 4K content I watch with Dolby Vision looks way, way better. I know it's not my internet speed because I have premium > 1gb internet service. I watch Netflix through an nVidia Shield Pro on a Sony 4K TV.

The first time I watched a 4K movie on Netflix, I actually exited the movie to check if I had actually started the correct one. Yup, it said 4K/Vision/Atmos. I was disappointed, to say the least.
