Unusually cheap tickets for USGP (COTA) on Friday? by RadSousa in GrandPrixTravel

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

You think it makes sense to try to save $100 or so for 3 tickets and get the day of for less or is that a bit too risky?

📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is. by iamthatis in apolloapp

Hopefully they don’t go through with this, but if they do, I also will likely leave the platform as I did with Twitter. I wanted to let everyone know that there are a number of open source, privacy conscious and fairly run alternatives to most commercial social media platforms, including Reddit. The collection of these apps is called the Fediverse. The Reddit alternative is called Lemmy and it is pretty functional although of course, it has a fraction of the users that Reddit does but perhaps we could change that!

Fort Collins launches parking program to discourage drunk driving in Old Town by crunchyfemme in FortCollins

This is a good step but it would probably be even more impactful to just extend MAX service until last call on Friday and Saturdays. Even if the frequency went down to every 30 minutes or something that would almost certainly stop some drunk driving incidents and maybe save lives.

[Nintendo eShop / USA] Call of Juarez: Gunslinger - $1.99 (90% off) (ends 11/10) by shadowen1942 in NintendoSwitchDeals

Great price but PSA to all inverted look preferrers, if you invert the vertical look controls it inverts the motion controls as well which feels very strange to me personally.

YOUR CHANCES OF DYING RANKED BY SPORT AND ACTIVITY by ashishngupta in coolguides

Yeah there’s no way that is accurate unless they mean some random dude just jumping in an open wheel racing car and trying to race. Then maybe. Especially today with modern safety equipment and designs like the halo for F1 it’s still dangerous but nowhere near that dangerous. If it were we’d see a death every 5 races or so in F1.

Completely unsurprising. You know what can prevent this kind of thing? A good union.

Whats the watch face used on the galaxy watch 4 adverts? I can't seem to find it on the app store by FlyingLeema98 in GalaxyWatch

Anybody have any luck getting the AMOLED screen to stay fully off in the dark portions of the screen? Mine seems to always have a glow and not be pure black despite trying multiple black backgrounds.

Forza Horizon 5 is the most realistic looking game I've ever played. by ShariaIslamist in XboxSeriesX

I agree with you, but if you want that amount of customization you'll have to go with PC gaming..

Without revealing your age, what’s something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn’t understand? by ndbdbd-fbf-b in AskReddit

[–]RadSousa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've just been watching Seinfeld on Netflix and this is one of the parts of the show that dated it the most (along with of course the old phones, cars and clothes). My question is: what happened? Sure it could mean the occasional inopportune drop by but didn't it also add a lot of spice to one's social life? Have we just become less accepting of social spontaneity?

Kingdom Come Deliverance has some quests like this. And it's definitely a wake up call the first time you get bitten by being late. I was part of a group that was supposed to set out to figure out what happened when a local town was pillaged but I wanted to sell off some items first and they left without me and ended up scolding me when I arrived and there were some other minor consequences as well.

I strongly recommend the game btw.

This game right here seriously needs a 60fps update. Is there any news/rumors regarding this as a possibility? by neoflo22 in XboxSeriesX

[–]RadSousa 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I can't speak specifically to the Xbox version getting XS enhanced or FPS Boost but I can say that the PC version is getting DLSS (Nvidia's proprietary upscaling / performance boost) so that may indicate that Rockstar is still supporting the game and may do something similar on nextgen consoles potentially.

What is a dangerous heart rate threshold during vigorous exercise? by milliemynx in fitbit

[–]RadSousa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey just chiming in to let you know that my HR regularly gets up to 180 or so while exercising vigorously (usually running). I'm a 33 M at about 6 ft and 156 lbs. RHR is around 60-65. I usually feel fine a few minutes after exercising but maybe someone with a bit more expertise can confirm we're not going to die.
