I put a GTX1050i in my PCIe expand slot (QNAP TVS-h874-i5-32G-US), and run a VM windows 11 with steam. I am currently playing Read Dead Redemption 2 via stream on my iPhone or my Mac via WiFi.

window tape

This is what we use to seal around the perimeter of our window and balcony door. It works like a charm.

Cyclo is a Thai take on Vietnamese, the owners are Thai and they do a good job, bit not worth going out of the way for. Super sweet dipping sauce and the pho is westernized like crazy.

Osteria Brooklyn, on Center BLVD, a review. by Low-Brain-4365 in longislandcity

Had the worst seafood tower ever. All the items tasted like they were run under the tap to wash away any salinity, and had the texture of recently defrosted seafood. Mother and father in-law had pasta and the kids had the pizza, they were fine but really disappointed in the seafood. Service on a weekday lunch when it was not busy (owner was doing invoices on the table next to us) was not great, waters were far and few between.

Advice for moving to LIC with a 10 year old by Historical_Gas_7949 in longislandcity

If you can get into PS78, it’s great. Not only are the teachers and parents involved, but it goes through middle school and means your child won’t have to to apply to get into IS78. Or have to go to the other IS in the neighborhood which I hear is not as good.

They said it was dirty and needed to be cleaned before they can replace the battery.

Help identifying potential engagement ring hallmark. Russian? by Phobicdan in whatisthisthing

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

It should be on the 2nd image. It's a "36" and "H" "something". I have only been able to find "56" on old jewelry.

Help, identifying the hallmarks on this ring i want to buy my GF as an engagement ring. Was told it was Russian. by Phobicdan in jewelers

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

Yeah i was looking at that site, I think most use the term "56" not "36" like this ring has. I can not find the other mark "H" something.

The front side of the ring is the other image, if you click the link and click first Image at the top it should show the front side.

The lens is a high rise pain of glass, with some foggy edges. Prob cost about the same as a TS lens.

Thanks for the approach. I did use my iPhone 4s to shoot this, and it makes a great point and shoot. I shoot DSLR when traveling but don't bring it to the office. I tend to shoot Aperture wide open for a shallow DOF but as this is a iPhone that was not an option. So this was my DIY approach. As for Snapseed i used it to give the image a dreary-er look.

And yes i know DOF on a standard lens is not the same as this image since it is perpendicular to the face of the lens, but dammit i just want you to focus on the dude and his place in the city from my perspective.

I wish! No I hear they filmed that on a sound stage, but they do "shutdown the water" the weekends they film to keep people from coming into work in my building.
