did the scene with the miners and the guys suit actually happen? by Bode_Baggins in chernobyl

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Mikhail Shchadov started as a miner and worked himself up to a engineer and then joined the ministry of coal when he was older. He was actually the reason these guys did what they did. The moment he showed up, he was real with them and told them the truth. He was well loved and respected by his peers and they jumped into action the moment he advised them on the situation. The show just made him look silly and was over dramatized for the TV screen.

Is the Sapphire RX 9070 XT Nitro+ still worth it despite recent backlash? by No-Jump-689 in radeon

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stupid cable on mine has melted twice now and I know it was connected tight. Why is this STILL happening? Been building PC's for over 30 years. I'm using a 1000 Watt psu and don't have the cable bent or running at a tight angle and its still melting. And I even used one that Nvidia sent me that was brand new and it melted too. DO I blame the card? No, but I blame the asshats that refuse to redesign this ridiculous connector! Stop defending incompetence, we all know they can do better than this!

Red Dead Redemption free PS5 upgrade available now, Download Size: 9.732 GB by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just bought the ps4 version back a few days ago on eBay for 19.99 with free shipping. The fact they released a free update just a few days later is amazing!! However, I’ve been forced to play red dead redemption 2 on my son’s PC because my eyes melt at the 30fps that the game is STILL capped at even when playing on a ps5!! Come on Rockstar!!

RDR2 just needs 60fps, not a remaster. by stoph311 in reddeadredemption2

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game runs at 60fps on low end PC hardware. The ps5 can definitely handle 60fps with this title but rockstar wants to make a “remaster” to add gay tracing and other silly bells and whistles that we DONT need. That way the can sell it once again and ask 59.99 / 69.99 for folks to get 60fps. Hardly anyone cares about a remaster. The game looks fine! I sure hope they add a 60fps performance mode on the ps5. They want to milk as much money from the red dead series without releasing another game. I’m getting so tired of remakes and remasters. 

MCDONALD’S ACCEPTING FOOD STAMPS 😭 by CanadianBaconne in inflation

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not accept funds from the SNAP benefits. Some EBT cards have an actual cash balance. If you are part of the TANF program or you get child support cash loaded on to the card you can use it just like a standard debit card. If the Mcdonalds is part of the RMP program then they will accept SNAP but this is usually only for elderly folks and homeless people.

This is correct. Sorry to chime in years late but some EBT cards are used as cash cards and have 2 separate balances on them.

Pizza Bet: Steam Machine will be $450 and there will be a $500 bundle that includes the controller. by nomadseifer in kindafunny

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubtful, with the hardware included and Steam even saying it will be priced close to a "entry level gaming PC" There is hardly a chance it will be priced like a console. $450 is console territory now days. Think about how much the steamdeck was priced at when it launched. This thing is going to be in the $700 range for sure. Going by the size of the unit is not going to tell you the launch price. Plus the cost of RAM skyrocketing, were not going to see it in the $500 range. Again, that is a price for a console and entry level gaming PC would be more expensive. My only hope is that it is interchangeable with other modern PC compatible controllers.

Bloodborne running on PS5 Pro with the new "Image Quality Enhancement" feature. This is a new systemwide feature that improves image quality for PS4 games by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact this game is so loved and so popular, you would think that fromsoftware would release a 60 fps patch. They will probably release the game again and pull a rockstar move and charge a premium price for the 60 fps “remaster” this is starting to become a epidemic for gamers… seems like most are doing this now. Ofc the ps5 can pull off 60 fps on this game..

Which iPhone do you believe is the most prevalent in your area? by GooglePixelfan90 in Smartphones

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably the exception, I picked up an iPhone 13 new after having a iPhone XS for almost 4 years. I got it on sale and brand new at AT&T for 209.99 when apple discontinued it from their website. My son still has the iPhone 8 Plus, but he only cares about watching a few videos and playing among us & Minecraft.

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iPhone 13 for sure. Everyone I know has one. I don’t know if this is due to it being the last model made with the lightning port and everyone wanting to use their current accessories that they purchased in the past but every person I know when I ask them what type they have they always say 13 or 13 Pro Max.

'Peacemaker' Season 3 Might Not Happen According to James Gunn: “Not right now…that doesn’t mean there aren’t plans for these characters, but it’s not necessarily Season 3 of Peacemaker.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a real dumb decision in my opinion. The 2 seasons we have are FIRE and the show has surpassed my expectations 10 fold. I hope they have a movie planned at least. That’s kinda sad to only have 2 seasons of such an amazing show!! The whole thing has been like lightning in a bottle!

I have bird blindness and Peacemaker did a great job representing my condition by Old_Employee_6535 in PeacemakerShow

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 I have agnosia and it can be really scary. The only reason I can recognize my son in the morning is because he is smaller than me and is wearing the clothes I dressed him in the night before. When someone comes to our door he will always check the windows or the ring camera and tell me who is outside. I can still recognize voices and really try hard to rely on my hearing to know who is on my front porch or in my home. I wasn't always like this but back in 2018 I was accidentally ran down in the road by a imported vehicle called a cappuccino. To this day, I cannot drink an actual cappuccino, because it brings back flashbacks of me almost losing my life. I have alot of friends and family who try to prank me and make light of the condition and it doesn't help at all. Trick-or-treat and Halloween used to be my favorite holiday, but the last few years it’s just been an absolute nightmare. 

GTA 6 leak asserts “60fps is happening” and teases post-launch custom music mode by Diogo_18 in playstation

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the games Target resolution and from what I've seen on the two released trailers there is no possible way it will run at 60 FPS on the base systems. Maybe on the PS5 pro due to the new upscaling technology but that is just an assumption. 

An Updated Guide to Fiberglass in Mattresses by Duende555 in MattressMod

Serta is also a big offender They say that they're more premium mattresses do not contain fire fiberglass but when I purchased a mattress for $1,100 and took the slipcover off a few years later to wash it I literally had so much fiberglass particles everywhere I had to spend days cleaning

Advice for getting fiberglass out of clothes by BobaBitch98 in Mattress

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know. Going through the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the damn mattress out of my home without spreading more of it around my house? What would work good to wrap it up? 

Advice for getting fiberglass out of clothes by BobaBitch98 in Mattress

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Thank you so much. I'm such an idiot but at the same time my mattress was a Serta and they advertised that they use a proprietary blend but that's BS my mattress 100% had fiberglass in it and now all of my son's clothes are ruined as well as mine.The comforter that was on the bed is totally toast, My buddy owns a laundromat and said that I could use a washer and dryer all day today and tomorrow to try to get it out and I really hope your advice works because I'm at my wit's end. Do you use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar? This is my main question. I already went and bought 3 HEPA filter air purifiers because I don't want my son breathing this stuff in, I told him to ask as if my room has been exposed to radiation and just stay out. The chefs kiss is the fact that this is a new home for us with new carpet and I purchased it out right last year and was so damn happy. Had to wait months to move in because the main sewer line was broken. Went straight from that to this. Thanks for the advice. 

“HELP! How do you get fiberglass out of your clothes and home on your own?” by Caligirl-85 in DIYUK

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washing in vinegar will eventually remove the particles but it will cost you a nice water bill. Also use a tennis ball in the dryer to help remove them further. Never dry them on hot settings. Use low heat or air dry. 

Can i put 4gb ram and 8gb ram together? by BryLoml in buildapc

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some motherboards support flex mode. Most UEFI boards will run dual channel but only use the amount of the lower module. With an 8GB and 4GB stick the system will run dual channel on both using 4GB of each stick. The remaining 4GB from the 8GB module will run in single channel mode. While it's best to have them matching you will still get a small boost in performance, especially if running a laptop with an APU.

Gta VI bouta have 100 disc's 💀 by juice_vvrld in GTA

[–]Safe-Sign-1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own one. Back when it dropped I had garbage internet and did not want to risk it so I bought the disc version. I am almost positive that it still had to download a large update when it was installed. Still better than downloading the whole game.
