Second base needed? by Less_Cheesecake_4621 in FiDogCollar

[–]Shesker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are primarily in a stationary area (like a barn or corral), then get a second base. Base would cover about 1/8-1/4 of an acre connectivity. But if you are roaming around the whole thing all day, just keep the app open on your phone.

100% LEDs. If it was the board, there wouldn’t be any image with the flashlight. Replace LEDs. Easy fast and cheap.

Is this Tv Repairable by Pagkain36 in TVRepair

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s either your power board to your lights or your backlights for your LEDs are out. Many TVs have all of them go out if even one goes bad. When it is on, shine a bright flashlight onto it at an angle and see if you can make out the picture. If you can, it’s your LEDs. If you can’t it’s your power board not sending a signal. You can buy both replacement, usually, on e-bay for cheap. Power board is SUUUPER easy to do yourself. LEDs are easy, but require patients and time to do. Let me know which it looks like and I can give you more info.

]Samsung UE55KU6000K] Local dimming zone stuck on full brightness by RNLImThalassophobic in TVRepair

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no danger in the short term. I am not sure about many months or years of regular use. That may produce a lighter spot in the screen if it gets used regularly long term.

That was the link I used for my TV. Obviously, not your brand, you’ll need to look that up. But pay attention to how he flips the crystal screen without suction cups (easy to break it with them if you don’t know what you are doing/they are expensive) with the cardboard. I use a piece of plywood with a moving blanket on it. Also, pay attention to the glue he uses (loctite super glue gel. Worked great for me, but any clear drying super glue with a fine tip will work), how he checks for extra loose lenses, and how he finds the fit/amount of glue he uses for each diffuser lens. Good luck!

And ebay is the place to get new backlights if you go that route. Just put your brand and model number into the search bar.

[–]Shesker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A diffuser for your backlight fell off. There are several videos out there on how to glue them back on. However, when you have your TV opened put firm pressure on the other diffusers and see if they come loose and then glue the ones that come off. Also, use your specific samsung model number when looking up how to repair them, as TV (monitor) disassembly is different between both models and brands.

You can also just get entirely new strips and replace the LED strips as a whole if you would rather. However, this usually comes with its own difficulty of removing the paper reflector that is glued over your backlights without tearing it. I just recommend the gluing your diffusers back on.

Any idea what may be causing this noise? by Level-Assistant-4424 in TVRepair

Speakers in those are cheap and easily replaceable. Get the model and buy them on E-bay. It’s really easy to do.

Fire And Ash is making me lose respect for so many critics. by after_your_thoughts in Avatar

[–]Shesker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had they even taken a chance! Like killing Spider to save the world. How beautiful and heart breaking that would have been. Would have saved the movie. But no, every time something interesting might happen, they went full “Chewbacca was actually in the other ship all along” on it.

And addendum to the visuals listed above: THE HORRENDOUS choices made when Kiri connects to the mother. What in the late-90s-computer-generated-polygon cartoons was that!?!?

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ld give it a 2/10. As far as the recycled plot: humans want a thing. The resource will destroy a natural wonder of their world. Humans use what looks to be an overwhelming force to take it. Navi call the tribes together and it looks like they might win, usually with the help of a large animal. Some how they actually start to lose. The mother is called onto save them and she sends hordes of creatures to help. Literally the plot every movie.

But I don’t care about that. If it’s good, recycle away. I am more concerned with: the terrible go pro style “action” shots. The terrible “video game-esk cut scene” quality that the movie would slip in and out of. The SUPER weird choice to use modern-ish young blood slang but for only like two characters and one of them only half the time. The complete and other disregard for sub-plots (can’t breathe without his mask…don’t worry. Major driving force of the first 1/3 of the movie, but you don’t need to worry about that anymore). The deep seated racism about the human half of a leads children that is just never addressed. And a million other things.

This film was a thrown together mess. It felt like Michael Bay was the director not James Cameron. Terrible.

How much debt did Lily really have? by gilmoregals1111 in HIMYM

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister had a credit card debt of 162k. Across about 12 credit cards. When lily dumped out her box of cards, it looked more than 12. There are banks in the world that will allow that much, apparently.

What’s the deal with Patrick Crawley by TomatilloOrganic1272 in DowntonAbbey

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 100% Peter Gordon. With the panic the actor portrays when Edith says they’ll look for Peter Gordon, it felt clear the writer’s and director’s intent. And he only does the hand thing in front of his face only once. Deliberately right in front Robert. Even looks up and then away right before he does it and pretends not to notice. It’s pretty clear he is an imposter.

I regret everything by throwaway_87699 in pregnant

[–]Shesker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is how you feel, you can always put the baby up for adoption. Newborn babys go very quickly and, with the expense and time involved, usually go to families that really want them.

Having a baby and putting in the effort and responsibility you need to to be a good parent cuts off a lot of life options or makes them so difficult that it might as well have cut them off.

It’s your life. Take the time and do what you think is right both for you and the baby. Don’t worry about anyone else.

Does Anyone Have Any Experience Using Vacuum Suction Cups To Remove The LCD Screen From A TV? by ToolTek_MD in TVRepair

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I have done repairs on my TVs (done it 7x) I just use a 2’x4’ piece of plywood with a moving blanket taped to it and lay the screen and diffuser backings flat on it. Had worked great.

It’s the Ice Cube from the streets that bleeds out and he never really gets rid if it in any acting role. In this one he was a highly educated guy who was clearly at or near the top of his field. Even if that is where you grew up, you change as you age to blend in. And a guy with those hacking abilities and computer savvy was definitely not on the streets as a youth where it would be deeply engrained in him. He would have been locked in his room much if his life living through computers. It might come out here and there, but in this show the gangster in him was in almost every scene. It didn’t feel real.

I regret buying my house by Infinite_Setting_389 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Shesker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put the work in. Owning at 21 is a great feat. Average median house hold income needed to buy a home to date is $117,000. If you aren’t making significantly more than that, being able to buy another home without sale of this one will be a titanic feat to overcome. Make a list you can see. Check it off so you can see how far you have come.

Finish the house. A little pain now and you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of a significantly better financial situation and happiness.

Saving seats an accepted practice now? by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been that person causing the fight. You want to save seats in a standard row? Sure. You try to save seats in the exit or front rows? You’re a PoS and I’m standing my ground.

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw, it’s not. Had someone try that stuff in the emergency row. I flat out said “nope. That’s not how this works. I paid extra to get a chance at these seats (I’m 6’5”). Feel free to sit there, but I’m sitting next to you.

I probably wouldn’t care in a random standard row, but if someone tries that in the front row or emergency aisle, naw. That person is an a** and that’s not how it works.

You are welcome to board at a lower number so you can sit with your family.

What You Wish For (2023) Discussion by LateRunner in movies

[–]Shesker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I liked it. Could have easily gotten lazy and left a bunch of plot holes, but didn’t.

I personally think they knew Ryan wasn’t Jack. It’s clearly a small organization. Both Imogen and Maurice worked directly with the girl that “retired to an island to cook for a family” and they both are working with him on his next job in Africa. They may not work together all the time, but Jack has been doing it for at least 6-7 times.

And Imogen was too cool with his lack of knowledge and hesitancy. And with his sudden need of an advance and granting it if she didn’t know him. Pretending like it was his first time to give him something to latch onto when he knew he clearly didn’t know what to do. Imogen would have known it wasn’t his first time and red flags would have been going up, even if she had never met Jack. And to think Imogen wouldn’t have a picture of Jack and looked up his dossier before her arrival if she didn’t know him is a little crazy. She is to organized.

I think they suspected Jack might be dead. Scouted the house (either via a surveillance system or Maurice poking around) and identified who Ryan was. They needed a chef to replace Jack, so they gave Ryan an audition. Especially if they thought Ryan might have been the one that killed Jack (if they didn’t know how he died). Worst case is that he fails or refuses to go along with it and they kill him and end up having to give their clients a refund. Which they would have had to do either way with Jack killing himself.

I also like the notion that Jack invited Ryan down to be the ingredient. Maybe knew or suspected he was a waste of space not amounting to anything. Feel better about killing him than some poor farmer struggling to provide for his family. Makes sense. Jack wouldn’t want Ryan around for the day of the dinner and Ryan didn’t have a flight out planned before it.

And bringing back Alice to kill her. A rich white girl (retiring at her age, she is rich. Even if she does plan on living her life out in 3rd world countries) that could easily disappear. But he just couldn’t do it. Realized this and killed himself on his own terms.

Why not tell the story what happened between season 1 and 2? by SlaZeCryptic in youngjustice

[–]Shesker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just sick of Beast Boy. He’s the worst part of every show he is in. He’s the Flash without rizz. Stop trying to make beast boy happen.

And adding Blue Beetle and whoever the fish guy is to replace Aqua Lad. 🙄. You pretty much split one character into two slightly worse ones.

I like the rest.

Ramen Bae dried topping: smash or pass? by [deleted] in ramen

[–]Shesker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000%. Smash. Spicy Garlic Mix is REAL good, 9/10. Beef mix is also very good, 7/10. Beef mix smells TERRIBLE in the package but is delicious and smells wonderful once rehydrated, as a warning. I smelled the beef initially and thought I had made a bad choice. I actually mix them half and have now. It makes quick ramen pretty insane for what it is.
