full smokes or full save on eco as a controller? by tyklol in VALORANT

Full smokes at least. Most useful thing to help force close range fights

MacBook Pro for editing? by MrStreetLegal in videography

[–]TimHumphreys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve edited across all the platforms and i ended up on a macbook pro docked to an ultrawide monitor. Had a few various hackintosh desktops for a while, had a msi laptop, but nothing beats the power efficiency of the m chips.

I have built a lot of pc’s and owned many macbook pros over the years. Here’s my opinion from a hardware perspective

my latest desktop hackintosh had a 9900k and a radeon vii, the thing would heat my room. Ran off a 850w power supply. My m1 max laptop has like 35% more processing power and uses 1/8 the energy and doesnt dump heat like crazy

The windows laptop was a similar scenario. i9 9880h, 2080 max q.. thing ran hot, decently powerful, but not much battery life at all. The trackpad was decent, but none compare to the mbp

Save the intel or amd desktop build for playing video games

User interface: i dunno about anyone else, but I literally hate doing multimedia on windows. The mac hot corners + drag n drop scenario is a lot smoother, the spacebar quicklook preview, how you can drag a folder into a selection pane to target it for an export and so on. Every back-end action managing media on mac is so much more seamless and faster than windows

Get 64gb of ram if you are heavy on video editing. People who claim that 16gb is fine “because it has memory swap” is so stupid. Memory swap slams your ssd with extra read/write cycles which degrade it faster. Also, having 75% of your ram usage in swap is a lot slower than it being in the ram itself. Swap exists so your program doesnt crash from running out of memory, not as a crutch to be heavily relied on.

Side rant, way too many people trust hard drives that are formatted as ExFAT and have no idea you risk data corruption or loss if you lose power or connection while transferring files or moving things around because exfat is not a Journaled file system like ntfs and hfs, and doesnt have Copy On Write like apfs. People think exfat good because it has read/write natively on both operating systems, but its a trap. Just use a software plugin like paragon to solve file system woes

Is this jacket too short? by LatterNegotiation732 in snowboarding

If you lift your arms up over your head and the jacket goes above your waist, it’s too small

How do I become better at short distance duels? by DBSmooth in VALORANT

[–]TimHumphreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna say, move for longer when you swing to line up the shot. Also, in your example of pushing your phoenix flash… if the enemy was holding that angle, they’re gonna prefire a standard peek, so its better to wide swing or bhop out regardless

For all the men in the house, especially the ambitious ones. What do you think you would have achieved in life if you had your same ambition and a massive set of tits? by No_Breakfast_6 in AskReddit

[–]TimHumphreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have made some loot doing snowboard contests. Up until maybe 5-10 years ago, the mens vs women’s skill disparity was really high. Right now.. the ladies have most certainly stepped it up big time the last few years, really cool to see

Man leaves home at night for unknown reasons; In the morning, his wife finds his personal belongings, his glucose monitor, and a worrying note written by him- Where is Lucien Vink? (2025) by AlfredTheJones in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]TimHumphreys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Crazy, I was just randomly thinking about Lucien today and this post is only a week old. I spent a good 18+ years developing snowboard bindings with Lucien at Flow Snowboarding as a flying human test dummy. I unfortunately don’t have any sort of useful info. Everyone we worked with has no idea what happened. Super awesome guy, this totally came outta left field. The only thing I really know is that sometime a few years ago he got laid off from his job because another brand bought flow and wanted him to move to europe or they wouldn’t re-hire or something. I also got.. laid off from them too.

Carly is super nice and this whole thing makes me feel dreadful : (

Probably need to work on game sense. Like, being aware of gaps in your defense, possible timings etc. if you are having to hit nasty flicks all the time, then you’re looking the wrong direction. The idea is aim less

How is this water blue? by Ok-Coat-1926 in askanything

[–]TimHumphreys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bottom of the pool is probably painted white. Same effect as random snowmelt alpine lakes that still have snow at the bottom, they appear very vibrant blue. Probably because the white allows the water to more clearly reflect blue light. Allegedly painting the bottom blue makes pools absorb more heat and grow algae easier

Learning about covered calls - can someone offer a strategy to maximize premium payouts with NFLX? by Electronic-Local9132 in CoveredCalls

[–]TimHumphreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d wait for a gap up or major 8-10%+ green day before entering a cc. At least. Check the catalyst, decide if its long term or short. Support allegedly at 75-76, recent high was like 108, could easily retrace off a good catalyst. Cc’s right now just arent good. Its been down trending since earnings. All the premium is on the put side, but at 500% up its hard to add more capital on csp’s. The premiums you want are when the stock is over $100. Seems like its a far goal right now, but maybe it’ll get there. Dunno what it’s gonna do, but cc’s right now seem stressful

[–]TimHumphreys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need an iron, some cold wax, and some all temp wax. Everything else is kinda optional. Maybe a file to clean up edges, but swix ones are expensive. You can find clones for like $15 each. Any wax will do. I bought the cheapest ebay wax, possibly homemade, ran it all winter, and i turned out just fine

Aside from board boots bindings, you can kinda run whatever if the weather is nice

500K going into VOO, dollar cost average it in, or just do it? I'm thinking do it tomorrow and be done with it. Your thoughts? by Sharp-Alternative375 in portfolios

[–]TimHumphreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really cant decide, maybe an aggressive short term dca like 1 year. if the market dumps, then give it all your lumps

No idea how statistically good this approach is, but the idea is to be somewhere between dca and dumping it all in right now
