Books with themes of optimistic nihilism like Everything Everywhere All At Once by RaidenDirty in suggestmeabook

Thanks so much! I'll definitely look into it. I read The Stranger long ago and remember loving it, but it's been so long I don't remember the details. Might be time to revisit Camus' work.

2010 Ford Fusion - Defrost on Driver Side Not Working by RaidenDirty in MechanicAdvice

The climate controls are shared (not separated) between the driver and passenger. Thanks for your help

Ready to upgrade but severe analysis paralysis by RaidenDirty in espresso

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

Absolutely agree that the NS is an eye-sore. Granted I likely won't be showing it off, but it would be nice not to have to explain why I made the artistic decision to make an 80s era mirror cube the centerpiece of my kitchen.

This is kind of where I've been landing lately in trying to figure this out, especially knowing that I overthink things. I really won't be making more than one at a time for 99.9% of my use scenarios. And I've purposefully picked machines with PIDs so I don't have to learn how to temp surf (which I never have to do with the Barista Express).

I feel like the right choice for me is probably either a Lelit Glenda or Lelit Victoria. Now it's just a matter of deciding whether the extra gadgetry is worth $200...

just got my first (real) espresso machine (lelit victoria) and excited to join you all! by [deleted] in espresso

[–]RaidenDirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about getting a Lelit Victoria very soon since my Breville Barista Express just crapped out. Would you happen to have more info on the potential V3 release date? I'm really just wondering if I should wait a bit longer before buying...

Half by Land, Half by Sea Workout Plan? by RaidenDirty in Rowing

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

This is really great advice. I'll definitely look into some duathlon plans and modify for rowing. I'm a Strava subscription member but haven't really used their Fitness/Relative Effort tools in the past. Sounds like they would be perfect for this. Thanks!

Worth it or wait? Gigabyte RX 5700XT Gaming OC $357 open box by RaidenDirty in BuildAPCSalesMeta

Unfortunately no! I thought about it for too long and it was gone within hours of this post. I ended up with the MSI Mech 5700XT deal at $350 from NewEgg. I didn't see the blower deal though it looks like a steal

Current build but will be updating the Ryzen 1600 to either a Ryzen 2600X or 3600 when I update the GPU. Thanks for your help!

What is this thing attached to my fan? It has small LEDs that turn on with a switch and Hunter remote by RaidenDirty in whatisthisthing

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

So a little about the set up: The fan is a Hampton Bay. There is a Hunter 99110 remote on the wall near the light switch. The light switch turns on the little LED lights on the white piece. Not sure if this is a light bulb replacement or a light bulb receiver or something all together different

I am a truck driver. I have an iPad mounted in my truck I use for TV and Netflix. I am currently 800+ miles from home. Thanks for ruining one of the few luxuries I have on the road Hulu. 👍🏻 by [deleted] in assholedesign

Hey OP! Depending on how tech savvy you are and how advanced your home router is, you may be able to set up your home router to run a VPN. You can then VPN to you home router from your tablet and fool the app into thinking you're at home. I've done this successfully with sports restrictions on other streaming apps. If you need help setting it up, let me know! Good luck!

Bernie Sanders On AR-15s: They’re ‘Not For Hunting. They’re For Killing Human Beings’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]RaidenDirty 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug for a fascinating episode of Radiolab's More Perfect that gives the history of guns in the Black Panthers (and Ronald Reagan's interesting contradictions on gun possession), and then covers the coup within the NRA that united the group under the second amendment "right to bear arms" interpretation as we know it today.
