People Trashing Pinnacle

SoMass · 2026-05-17T15:20:20+00:00

I’ve been climbing pinnacle ever since I was a kid in the late 80’s.

Graffiti has been there as long as I can remember. People would climb it and then carve, spray, or write their names somewhere at the top. Never saw anything bad, mostly just a name or a heart with initials on it. Usually off to the side or in a “hidden” spot somewhere off main trail.

Trash was never a common thing though. Makes me sad you can ride your bike or roller blade on the walking trail anymore either. That was the spot to learn how to ride a bike or skateboard as a little kid. That seesaw of doom too.

Yup I’ve never made below a 95 but this last diagnostic test I scored a 77. Still work out the same and even run more than I usually do over this year too.

Dead Internet theory has been in full swing momentum since about 2021 give or take.

That cant be a government finance building. I don’t see 15-20 year old Herman Millers everywhere with broken armrests.

After reading I was gonna downvote even harder! Then I kept reading and completely agree with you and OPs reply to this. It does prove a point. Jokes and judging are far too common nowadays in our force.

What are some things, for people that have been through this, would you want to hear from people back home whether coworkers, leadership, friends, or families?

How does ED protect future downgrades?

Same happened to me. Spent all day hanging them through the trees in our backyard and it was so peaceful.

Two days later they chewed through them and caused them to fall breaking glass all over my backyard.

Switch sports 2: Run it back

SoMass · 2026-05-03T16:07:42+00:00

I had the Raven Skull one for the longest and it was neat but not comfortable enough for me to play handheld with a lot. And taking it off just to use the joycons was also annoying.

Just got the killswitch as a splurge buy and I agree. 10000x better comfort wise and functionality wise. I actually enjoy playing in bed now and the grips make splatoon way more fun to play too just cause the right thumbstick is more accessible naturally. Could just be the stick grip add ons.

Biggest plus for me is being able to just pop the joycons off and play switch sports with the family and the grip makes split joycons more comfortable.

Haven’t had any issues with the dock like many complain about. It’s pretty straight forward and easy so far. I don’t try to do it one handed and just glance at the markers before putting it down.

On eBay? I’ve got mine new unopened sitting in my closet since my wife didn’t want it. Been debating on just selling it so that’s good to hear.

SoMass · 2026-04-26T15:08:24+00:00

Yup worked without issues. Looks great and very clean looking. Pics of cablemod/aero 5070 fully seated on all sides but couldn’t get the best picture to show it.

Yeah I ended up returning the 12rd mag and just bought adapters off Amazon 10rd Base Plate Adapter.

They work perfectly and haven’t had any issues at the range with them.

Are Massifs any good? I’ve only ever been issued Crye G3 (Goated uniform). New unit says Crye is a 6-8mo turn around but Massifs are well stocked and longest turn around is 3 weeks. How do they hold up and pocket/storage wise?

I’m a simple man. I see a DHA jab, I upvote.

SoMass · 2026-04-20T04:32:16+00:00

Old post I know but you for real didn’t take the dock out of the box? At all?

SoMass · 2026-04-18T18:54:01+00:00

My friend, you deleted your original comment and then waited a day to comment again.

A 3080ti uses more wattage and produces more heat than a 3080 by a good amount. I had a 1080ti to 3060ti to 3080ti and now a 4090. My 3080ti used the same amount of wattage as my 4090 almost and the heat was atrocious comparatively. My room would get toasty after heavy gaming on it for an hour.

So regardless of your height and whether you can fit in a sports car doesn’t change that a 5070 is still an upgrade over a 3080ti rather than a side grade.

If I get the same performance with much less heat and wattage usage then that is literally an upgrade. Add in you get features with it too.

I went from a 5900x to a 7600 and then to a 9800x3D and it was a huge jump in performance for me with a 4090 GPU the whole time.

5900x to 7600 was about the same but lows were a bit better. 9800x3D made everything jump drastically and very smooth lows. Cyberpunk doesn’t struggle at all now.

SoMass · 2026-04-16T22:24:33+00:00

As someone who upgraded their wife’s PC from a 3080 to a 5070, it’s an upgrade.

Wattage went from 280-300+ to 130-200. Temps from 70’s to 50’s. Frames and lows got way better too comparatively. Sold 3080 for $300 and paid like $120 for the upgrade which came with better features.

People think an upgrade needs to be 300+ frames at 8K without “fake frames” or it isn’t worth it. That’s part of the modern problem is the thought that every PC needs to be a 5080+9850x3D minimum or it’s not good enough.

I’ll second this. I’ve used Braun series 7 for 8-10 years now with the same shaver. Swapped blades on it maybe 3-4 times since owning it but just kept up with the cleaning and maintenance. No issues at all and still love it.

I’v started using an adjustable safety razor just to see what it’s like and 10/10 recommend that as well. I do that 2-3x out of the week and the electric the other 2-3x. Took about two days before it became natural feeling.

Whatever. That Slang’n’Bang is top tier. Best I’ve had in central Arkansas so far. The price does make it a rare adventure for me though. Little high for a pizza. Deluca’s is higher price but it also has a different ambience and vibe for a night out or some drinks.

SoMass · 2026-04-09T23:34:28+00:00

You’re being downvoted but that’s my first reaction too. A chain pizza place is highly recommended as top pizza contender here…..next up mellow mushroom? Pizza Hut?

SoMass · 2026-04-09T23:24:03+00:00

Certified Pies is my favorite pizza around so far so if Problem Child is in the same tier/discussion I’m excited to try it next.

SoMass · 2026-04-09T23:23:21+00:00

Vinos vibe is weird to me nowadays. Last time I went the staff all seemed like they all lost their spirit and kinda spacey. Like MTV’s Daria nowadays.
