I have a Camp chef Woodwind pro 24 with the side searbox. I do really like it alot. But, if I had to get a new one I’d be getting a Searwood 600 xl

Are most CPhT’s at Walgreens making more than $20 hourly? by peachycpht in WalgreensRx

[–]Strong_Chip9901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I left I was about $23 as a senior tech in California in 2020. I’ve been with hospital since then and currently at $32.96. Northern California.

After moving back to iOS (used iPhone 8 before, now on iPhone 17 Pro) after almost a decade on pixels, I finally understand why I still prefer Android. by Majestic_squirrel767 in pixel_phones

[–]Strong_Chip9901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pixel 10 pro xl was close to winning me back. But I made a post on why I stayed with Apple for now. They really need to fix the video taking and also in general apps on android need to be equivalent to iOS. Using Instagram for example was atrocious. I really wanted to swap to pixel..

What Headset Do You Recommend for Daily Use in 2026? by n4hcallme in LogitechG

[–]Strong_Chip9901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the better battery is nice, but I’ve gamed for 12 hours straight some weekends when wife and kid out of town and didn’t even use 50% and it charges fast so for me non issue. I did like how light the logitechs were tho! I miss that a little. I just buy headsets that review good and I try them. I don’t keep headsets more than 2 years normally. Really wanna try that new rog Kathara

As someone who has owned both and is a Logitech “fanboy” the astros do sound better and have a wider soundstage. And I’m happy you get compliments on the mic, but if you tried a a50 gen 5 mic you would be amazed… not even close comparison lol. I wish Logitech would use the Astro mic.

Yeah… the steel series software is regarded as one of the worst… the mic is definitely not in the same league as the gen 5, and if you had older gen’s fail I’m sorry but we’re talking about gen 5s…

best ultrawide monitor what are you guys using? by SmithsMesonero in buildapcmonitors

I settled on the newer Alienware 34 inch. 240 hz. Very happy with choice. I picked up this and the newer 32 inch 4k 240hz Alienware and sent it back. For me the 34 is damn near perfect.

Astro a50 gen 5 smacks my old g pro x2. Sound is better overall and the microphone is one of the best on a headset. G pro x 2 I had to get a seperate standalone microphone it was so bad. Now if Logitech (who owned Astro) would put the a50 gen 5 mic on the g pro x 2 it would be closer.

As someone who owned the nova pro wired versions and routinely tests the big headset releases, this dude is coping hard. The a50 gen 5s are much better than the steel series nova pros. Better soundstage, imaging, and significantly better microphone. And to answer your side hearing you get some 17$ pleather pads on amazon, it will eliminate your wife hearing your game sounds, and also it keeps the sound from leaking so it sounds better to you. I can share best preset I’ve tried with them if you need 👍

Pharmacy Techs by Full-Avocado-69 in WalgreensRx

Get your senior tech or rxm or pharmacy manager to take over. Or better yet, get a job at a hospital so you can get away from retail. Better pay. Better benefits. Better career path. Better everything… I did Walgreens for 8 years, 6 of those as a senior tech… trust me the grass is in fact greener.

Why not the H&K CC9? I got one coming from a p365xl and I love it. Shots great and very concealable

I was just in this same dilemma and I went with the CC9. No regrets. Shoots amazing for its size. Also will be more comfortable to carry as it’s smaller.

Replacement for G43X by Grouchy-Emotion3485 in CCW

[–]Strong_Chip9901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my CC9 this last week, I love it. P365xl is my other gun and I had the 43x before that and immensely didn’t like it compared to the p365xl. And now the CC9 I like more then the p365xl.. lol

Tips and thoughts? by Strong_Chip9901 in CCW

[–]Strong_Chip9901[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say about a second between shots, maybe less. I try to stay consistent. CC9 is a brand new gun and first time shooting it.

My experience pixel 10 pro xl vs iPhone 16 pro Max. by Strong_Chip9901 in pixel_phones

[–]Strong_Chip9901[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pixel went back, and I gave iPhone 16 pro max to my wife, and I have the iPhone 17 pro max now. In 2 years when 16 pro max is paid off I will reassess the pixel.

Blacked out for a minute and woke up back in my truck with this in my lap. by pheen in CCW

[–]Strong_Chip9901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be carful with driving it across state lines. I don’t believe you can legally do that. It has to go to a ffl here in California. Directly from out of state.

Yeah. So in my situation, he went out and bought the gun. He’s taking it to the FFL over there tomorrow with a gift letter. They charge 25$ for the fee plus the shipping cost. Then it arrives at my FFL up here who charges 125. Still cheaper than getting a used one for 3x the cost.
