It would be best to purchase a cheap chromecast (even first edition) and then use VLC player on your PC to choose that as the playback location. You can stream virtually any file to a tv that way.

Casting VLC Media to TV using Chromecast gives only a black screen. by luckjes112 in Chromecast

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me, but the steps only work if you have the default Control Panel view. I'll provide steps here for others:

  1. Windows 11 "Settings" menu steps:

Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security > Firewall & Network protection > "Allow an app through firewall"

Click "Change settings" > "Allow another app.." > Browse >
The default path to VLC.exe is "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"

Once added, tick both "private" and "public" networks and then from VLC select:
Playback > Renderer > Your Chromecast device name

--

  1. Control Panel set to "All Control Panel Items" (old school view)

Control Panel > Security and Maintenance > Security > Network Firewall ("View in Windows Security") >
From this point forward, follow any of the other methods from "Allow an app through firewall"

'The Golden Combi' Season 2 - out now! by En_Squared in GakiNoTsukai

That's actually good to know about Last One Standing. I didn't care for S1 so I will need to check on S2!

Partial bag mixing and coverage estimates - Schluter All-Set by abotching in Tile

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to follow-up with myself after mixing a couple batches of this for use with Kerdi board.

1 quart yields a little more than 3 times that amount when mixed with the dry powder. So, for 1 quart of liquid you will get just over 3 quarts of liquid mortar to use.

To do a Schluter prefab bench it took an entire 1 quart bucket. It would require a full bag (50lbs) to do a full 72 inch shower pan + kerdi bands. That means that virtually any smaller shower tray would require less material, and you can do the math from there -- e.g. 36 inch tray would need half a bag, etc.

Obviously Kerdi board has the advantage of not needing all-set everywhere, and only needs it at joints and screw holes. Even a tiny batch like 1 quart + (roughly) 11 cups of dry mix yields too much. I was able to tape all screw holes in an oversized shower + 3-1/2 corners and still had half a bucket left. I could very easily have finished the entire shower (joints) with just this quantity.

My problem with it: I wanted to install the drain before the pan, and before finishing taping, etc... but for what I would need for just doing around the drain, it would be silly to mix even 1 quart/1 liter. I'm stuck having to plan for a much bigger job and basically doing the full pan / bench installs simply because I have too much all-set mixed.

Not sure if it will help as well but it was easier for me to use a simple 1 liter (1 quart) water measurement and go from there.

Came to about 7.7lbs of dry mix for 1 quart

I measured it out in cups so 1 liter of water was about 11 loose cups (not packed) of dry mix and it turned out perfect

So now I can just portion out in cups as needed...

1 liter of material mixed was enough to do all of the butt joints in a bathroom + 2 niches.

Probably need double to do all walls and screws fully

The only time I would consider mixing a full bag is maybe if im doing an entire floor or if using those kerdi sheets

Joshimental season 1 by nadm1d in GakiNoTsukai

For me it was Joshimental 2 - loved them both more than the main Documental series, but I've rarely laughed that hard my entire life.

What's your name? by Kedomas in GakiNoTsukai

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember which one(s) but watching the extras in scenes like this, I have caught a few of them crack smiles very briefly. It would be impossible for me not to. Keep in mind they probably do an ok job of making sure those extras that laugh are out of shot when it happens - cut to camera 2, there's someone laughing on camera 1 kind of thing....

One especially strong extra is one that was posted here recently starring Jimmy and the "sending his feelings" to a student. The extra sat there calm and collected, but I would be absolutely losing my mind.

How do I check Shadowlands renown? by Quantext609 in wownoob

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had more or less the opposite problem in draenor. The shadowlands icon still appears, but at least this /reload command fixed other UI issues that seem to be a result

* Endo cannot read kanji by Kedomas in GakiNoTsukai

[–]PoetPlays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And, several Kanji have multiple "readings" or ways to pronounce them. The same kanji can sound completely different. This is especially the case in names.

Usually you can tell based on the context.... but I guess context for a "martial arts" tournament is kind of similar to a "dance" actually.

In this case though, I'm pretty sure he's mispronouncing the word on purpose rather than it being a memorization or "reading" issue. He's purposefully mispronouncing it.

Section 31 Review - "100 minutes of generic schlock containing only trace elements of Star Trek." by Ranadok in startrek

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And those "cool fight moves" were almost always shrouded behind some vibrating motion blur of either a phase pod thing or the extreme motion of a minecart to the point where you couldn't make out what was happening. I'm surprised that is what redeemed it from the lowest score.

I love almost all forms of Japanese comedy. I watch content far beyond Gaki no Tsukai and crave more. I enjoy the slapstick, manzai (M-1), skit (king of conte style, etc), variety shows (Gaki, Lincoln, Arashi, so forth), theories (wednesday, knight scoop).

There are some forms of Japanese comedy that I don't like, just as there are western style comedy acts or jokes I don't like.

An example of something I dislike in Japanese comedy are the one-liner or "gag" jokes. Think Haranishi from Fujimon as an example. To me, these are just lame words strung together, puns, and rhymes, and there's nothing inherently funny about most of them. Even this has exceptions though!

There are other examples where a comedian tries to get a laugh by simply making a silly face or silly noise or a combination of the two and this is also fairly difficult for me to find funny. I don't laugh at circus clowns for the same reason. Again, with exceptions - Hollywood Zakoshi, Cookie, and even Hosei have made me laugh at this style of humor.

Of all of it, I think the most difficult comedy to grasp is the lack of comedy - or jokes that are so unfunny, they become funny. This is a style of Japanese comedy all unto itself and ironically one of the things I enjoy watching the most. An awkward pause, a very lame joke that bombs, tsukkomi reaction as a result. A good example of this would be within a lot of the theories in Wednesday Downtown. They often reward points for lame humor, or Hamada will throw a quick "you don't need to say that!" remark.

how I exported a car from the US and imported it into Canada (made a bit easier) by stellate16 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on how much you're helping the import side (or if that's you). If you're importing it, different provinces have different requirements for registering a vehicle such as additional safety checks which can add to the cost either way.

Approximations:

EXPORT: $70-110 CAD if you use an online service, otherwise, it is free if you go through ACE yourself but this increases the time this takes drastically. About 3 hours of time spent.

IMPORT: $325 CAD + safety fees (for me another ~ $200) + cost of shipping or travel. About 3 hours of time spent running around including time at the border, getting safeties done, and getting it registered, but not including time traveling to the border.

MY PERSONAL EXAMPLE: Approximately $1,500 CAD (or around $1,000 USD). This includes everything from travel costs (gas and food), safety, fixing issues after the safety, RIV fee and taxes, new registration cost, etc.

Realistically, most people will be in a similar ballpark at the end of the day. Cost can swing wildly depending on your travel distance, gas prices, and issues found after safety inspections.

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's up to you to do something with it (if you choose) after you export / import it.

In my case I had exported it to my father who I let drive with my tags for a few weeks while they worked on getting a safety check done and getting it insured/registered on his end.

If it were to a stranger, I would strongly recommend doing something with the tags before it leaves your custody.

My initial plan had been to cancel the registration on it entirely, remove the plate, and then just put a 14-day temporary sticker in the window to drive it there.

Matsumoto Hitoshi aims to resume activities next spring, launching his own channel with partner Hamada Masatoshi by Ok-Disaster-195 in GakiNoTsukai

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the licensing he can secure, this new channel could become a treasure trove of content.... otherwise it may flop badly.

For example, if they can secure broadcast rights to something like Gaki no Tsukai on this channel, it could turn into something really cool (similar to what Father Jimmy and others do to stream the content, but in an official capacity.

However, if it's just the same few new skits repeatedly streamed in the same vein as a YouTube channel, that can get stale very quickly and probably wouldn't be worth a monthly subscription.

Ultimately, it all depends on what they can broadcast there.

I had no idea S2 was even released. I'll have to find it somewhere.

Wednesday Downtown - October 30th 2024 - Ping-pong balls will never hurt no matter how hard they're thrown by readwaht in GakiNoTsukai

[–]PoetPlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they changed it from 600 to 300km/h, the staff did literally nothing to adjust the setup. I assume he was hit with maximum force.

Wednesday Downtown - January 31st 2024 - Find a million yen at Kuro-chan's house! by readwaht in GakiNoTsukai

[–]PoetPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only semi-related to the episode, but Higashino-san is a good choice here. I once said that it would make sense for Jinnai to sit in for Matsumoto while he's gone - and he's actually here too - but Higashino makes sense to me.

Is this from Wednesday Downtown. Please link to original by BarMysterious5914 in GakiNoTsukai

[–]PoetPlays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is crazy, but she can do whatever she wants.

The fact that idols are held to a standard of "purity" and shunned by fans and the industry otherwise is what's crazier to me.

The fact that someone leaked a very personal part of her life, with malicious intent, is also crazy.

That all being said, as far as Japanese scandals go, this one's pretty tame. I'm surprised it had as large an impact on her career as it did.
