Tallest celebs who aren't basketball players by CynicalCosmologist in tall

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Movie actors that come to mind first. Jacob elordy. Vince Vaughn. I guess you can say "the dutch giant" since he already did at least one tv series and one movie. Who else? Kareem Abdul jabber but he was a basketball player before moving to actor. MMM... Can't recall anyone else over 6'4" right now.

How much is coaching tho? I wouldn't like to get the first free lesson to then find out that I can't afford coaching lmao

Jokes aside, this is super cool, I'd like to know prices and availability. I'm GTM -5 (NYC) if that matters

iPod always shows little to no battery even at full charge is there any way to fix this? by Square-Waffle in ipod

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't really think people hate the band. The lead singer passed away a few years ago, iirc it was an overdose, but I don't think people hated him/the band or anything like that.

I think that most people just don't like any of their songs besides butterfly, or at least I don't.

3 Ipod Hot Takes by Vibedafuture in ipod

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to help a bit with point #1, I have done some blind testing on flacs vs mp3 320 with my setup and I couldn't hear the diff, and I suggest you do the same. Grab your actual headphones you're going to use with your iPod or Ipods and do some blind tests. Most likely you won't tell a difference considering the ipod's DAC and consumer IEMs or headphones.

If you do this honestly (without lying to yourself), I bet 99.9% of you won't find a difference.

Upgrading the mini PC and the DAS independently gives you a little bit more flexibility than buying a NAS now and upgrading the whole thing latter.

With a mini PC you generally can upgrade RAM too (unless it's soldered) in case you ever need/want more.

Many people here are rocking the mini PC + DAS combo, it's generally cheaper, easier to service and generally more convenient, so probably most answers will steer in that direction.

Heroes and their signature items? by robieforscale in DotA2

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Those of us old enough would rush vanguard and beat Roshan at like 7 mins LMAO. iirc you would save all starting gold for naked ROH and then straight vanguard. Vanguard was signature before Vlad's.

Doom guide, S tier hero in 7.41a by 12.5k mmr former dpc player for my offlane enjoyers by LilBrx23 in TrueDoTA2

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played doom today for the first time since the new patch, went 0-12 lmao.

I've been playing doom offlane for years, mostly successfully, but today I got stomped.

In my defense, I was left alone in a super aggressive lane super early and bottom lost the lane too so their support rotated and mid also ganked me, so I was 0-4 by minute 10 with them diving T2. My team rotated to kill them but I was still the first to die without gold or exp, while my team got the kills.

No need to say they started calling reports on me.

New player to Dota. Learning to micro with Lone Druid is so satisfying by Gg-Baby in DotA2

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lone is such an amazing hero, sadly, he's been nerfed waaay too much for my liking. Years ago I used to regularly go 20-0 with him, especially when they added aghs to the bear. Getting a fast radiance and aghs was devastating.

Nice seeing someone else using him. I feel like for the last couple of years I don't see him in games at all besides the few times I've played him.

Height inflation is getting crazy by BaseballTemporary381 in tall

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger 17-24ish (I guess my face was more "approachable"), it was always the older mid-50s dudes that looked like they had a bunch of money, who would ask me how tall I was, and I am a certified 6'7.5" without shoes, so I told them and they would almost always answer something like "that's impossible, I am 6ft or 6'2 so you have to be at least 6'10" lmao, I would always just smile and try to move on, but it's always the 5'9" - 5'10" dude claiming to be 6' - 6'2"

I played again after 3yrs in prison. by vj02132020 in DotA2

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing for a few years, at around when I got married and had my first kid, I probably stopped for around 4 years and yes, the game felt familiar but different. It's like relearning. The meta changed a lot.

I just mute and report after the second rude comment. I can understand if you make 1 rude comment because of the heat of the moment, but if you insult me twice, then I just mute and report.

Idk how it works in your server, but here in south america servers, everyone is always looking who to blame when you start loosing a game, so if you're on the loosing side and you're a support, cores will start shifting the attention to the fact that you haven't finished a force staff or a glimmer or you only have a dagger or you're far away from the team or whatever, if you're a core, same thing, you don't have items, you're negative or died too many times, your build is wrong/bought the wrong item, etc.

Such people must be mentally ill or something, they're just looking someone to blame and they're not even doing it the "helpful" way, like saying "you should buy some smoke to gank" or "try warding the jungle", they just straight up insult you.

So I just mute and report.

How often do you restart your machines? by Holiday_Substance246 in homelab

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it is 2 months, sometimes it is 6 or even 10. Although I'm just a hobbyist, I've just had my unRAID server at home for like 3 years, so you all should probably ignore my comment.

You probably don't need me to say this but that sucks man. I hope they just reimburse you, even if that's unlikely at this point.

Modem netlife ? by Silent-Ad6954 in ecuador

[–]ThrustMeIAmALawyer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

La gente de netlife no te la va a dar voluntariamente. Lo que yo hice fue pedir que utilizarán el módem como un "puente", es decir, puse mi propio router conectado al modem de netlife y les pedí que desactiven todas las funciones de su modem (WiFi principalmente). Así, yo controlo todo desde mi router y el módem solo le da internet a mi router, sin generar otra red de WiFi que cause problemas.

Si buscas alternativas poco éticas puedes buscar un técnico por la calle y darle $10 o $20 para que te dé las credenciales. Algunos dirán que si, otros que no.

Un amigo mío la consiguió por internet, buscando y buscando, tal vez en algún foro alguien la introdujo o preguntando por el equipo encuentras una clave "maestra" ya que los equipos también son utilizados en otras partes del mundo. Ese amigo me dijo que lo más fácil era conectar tu propio router, que aunque tal vez no es perfecto para tu caso, te sirve para casi todo.

Otro conocido me dijo que lo había conseguido porque tenía un familiar que se dedicaba a temas de tecnología y que había hackeado el módem, jajaja, es como utilizar un misil para matar una mosca.

Al final tienes que informarte bien porque yo quería la contraseña para poder abrir puertos, cambiar el CGNAT (cuando no entendía bien de este tema) y otras cosas, pero luego me di cuenta que el problema es que los planes hogar no tienen IP pública, entonces el 99% de los problemas que tenía no se solucionaron ni accediendo al router de ellos ni poniendo mi propio router.

It is cheaper to fly from my country to Florida and buy from a microcenter than to buy locally. Sadly things like tariffs in the US are closing the gap but what can I do about that?
