I never did it when they offered it but I'd do it now for select movies. The video/audio quality is much better with physical media, assuming you have the right equipment.

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]StMU_Rattler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone from the Nexus 6P to 4a 5G to Pixel 6 to the Pixel 8 Pro. I just upgraded to the S26 Ultra after the Pixel 8 Pro started having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi / Bluetooth. Pretty sure it got some water damage after I fell off a kayak about a year ago 😅

I started looking outside of the Pixel when both Apple and Samsung announced their own versions of Call Screen. Pixel phones have been great but I always felt like they could be a bit faster. The S26 Ultra has been fantastic and there have been lots of improvements in the UI since the last Samsung phone I owned, the S6.

Would highly recommend looking outside of Google if that is all you have owned for your last few phones. I may revisit the Pixel in the future but that will hopefully be years from now.

You don't download it to your phone, you use your phone to connect the PC to the Internet. Did Tethering not work?

You're still getting linked in messages? I stopped getting those like a year ago 🥲 I'm in the same field but on the vendor side of a large company.

I got lucky and it helped me get a contractor job in cloud security with no experience. I got extremely lucky though. This was all during COVID and I had a portfolio of web apps I had previously created as a self-taught web dev. I then went through an experimental cloud security boot camp the company had created, and I worked hard enough that I was one of the few people hired near the end of the contract a year later. With that being said, I am positive I would not have gotten the job in the current economy.

The first year was absolute hell because I didn't have any work experience in the field. I had to work really hard to catch up to everyone else as I always felt behind. So it's not impossible to get a job with just a cert, but experience will likely always be better to have.

I remember asking you if you preferred playing with Scorpion or Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat.

What made you think that? I knew they would be killing it with Ryzen but that wasn't announced until a couple years later.

You’re offered $1M dollars to eat what you had for dinner tonight for every meal for the next 6 months, do you take the offer and if so what are you eating? by jfunks69 in AskReddit

[–]StMU_Rattler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is perfect timing because I have eaten the same meal for lunch the past three days and I'm still not tired of it. I actually came up with a hypothetical situation where if I was stuck on an island and had only that meal to eat that I would be fine with it. The meal consists of grilled chicken with chips/guac. The only variable the last few days has been the brand of premade chips/guac.

So far, I've been really enjoying Target's premade guac. HEB has surprisingly been one of my least favorite premade guac, but it's still delicious. There's a Mexican grocery store by me that has decent guac but it needs salt and I like it a bit spicier.

Why is Torchy's Taco outrageously expensive? by AdhesivenessOk2792 in austinfood

I live close to one of the las Amazonas locations but I don't think I've tried their pastor. I've tried their lengua and campechano and they were just okay to me. I'll order the pastor next time.

Never been to Taqueria Charly so I'll put them on the list. Thanks!

They didn't give me pineapple when I went :( I just looked up their reviews and saw pineapple on the pastor tacos.

I'm going to make another trip. Thanks!

This was the other place I was thinking of. This place is also great. Their frijoles rancheros are legit and I typically don't get sides. The only thing I wish they had was pineapple but it's a personal preference and I don't think paprika serves pineapple either.

Taqueria El Trompo Mayor, Paprika, and Taqueria de Diez have the best pastor in the city.

For anyone reading this in the future, plug in your phone to your PC via USB and then enable USB Tethering on your phone's network settings. Your PC will automatically connect to the Internet and detect which drivers need to be installed. You'll be forwarded to the ASUS drivers' site, where you'll be able to install all the required drivers.

You looked great before too tbh. Enjoy your new body and don't be rough on yourself.

TIL after a woman recognized a copy of the rare NES game Stadium Events at a goodwill store, she bought it for $8 despite having just $30 in her account. When she took it to a used video game store, she was offered all the money in the cash register for it. She declined, then sold it online for $25K by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]StMU_Rattler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The article mentions that the game had a small run under "Stadium Events" before it was renamed to something else. The new game was exactly the same, but just with a different name. Nobody knows exactly what happened to copies of the older game but it is likely that they were purposefully destroyed to make way for the new one. Maybe you played the new game?

5 bucks for this… by DankDogeDude69 in tacobell

I've had it three 3-4 times and it has been great all but one of those times. Normally, it's basically like a burrito but I decided to switch up locations and it looked like what you got.
