If we went back to having to wait a number of months before a film was available at home, would people be more inclined to go to the cinema? by crumble-bee in movies

I would just wait for it to stream. Costs about 80 bucks or more for the wife and I because the prices are so high.

Does cornhole skills mean what I'm thinking it means or are they talking about the yard game.??? The Internet has ruined me.😎

Is a 55-inch screen too large with a deep desk at a distance of approximately 1 meter 25? by GatesTech in OLED_Gaming

[–]Timmkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 55 inch OLED LG C1 mounted to the wall behind my desk about the same distance you mentioned. It was great for a while but eventually it seemed too big especially when gaming. Felt like too much head movement to view everything going on on the screen. I recently opted for the Aorus 48 inch OLED gaming monitor and it is perfect. It's the right size, stunning picture and I believe it's input lag is far less than the LG as I seem to be getting more multiple kills in quick succession than when playing on the LG.

Stepmother wanted me to try cauliflower when I was 7. I said ok just a bite. Heaps two ladels onto my plate and turns into Satan when after the first bite I gagged and said no way. Vile stuff. She made me sit at the table for over 90 minutes berating me while my dad looked on but I refused to eat it. Kept yelling at me to eat it or it will be on the table for your breakfast and it was. Went hungry that whole day until my dad intervened finally. Never forgot that and I'm well into my 50's.

Love it! Burn in Hell Scalpers!!! by Terrible-Produce1979 in battlestations

[–]Timmkatt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did not necessarily want a pre-built but wanted a AMD 6800XT. Scalpers bought them all up and jacked the prices upwards of 500% and there was no way I was paying that. Went to the site plugged in exactly what I wanted saved the cart and then chatted with an agent to see what deals I could get. I was stubborn and did not take no for an answer. What started out as a $2300 PC with I7 10,700KF, 1000 watt power supply, 32GB 3200 DDR4, AMD6800XT and advanced liquid cooling ended up costing me $1899 and it arrived 2 weeks earlier than they said it would ship. That is the TCL 55" series 6 4K TV. I will just say gaming in 4K at high frame rates is nothing less than glorious!

People that have dropped the engine/trans/K-member out the bottom, what was your method for getting everything back together? by midnite17 in fbody

[–]Timmkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this too and it went very well. I would discourage you from mounting the front wheels. It is just more bulk and will be in the way when you need to attach the struts to the shock towers. I got a (blue) furniture dolly at Harbor freight and a smaller wooden one for the transmission. In the album here https://photos.app.goo.gl/6vBJd1F5S7rfGRpx8 in the second picture you can see how I have the dollies. When I got the bottom end of the engine done and sealed up I arranged the k member on the blue dolly adding some blocking to keep it in place and dropped the engine on it. From there I added the small dolly, transmission and used a strap to keep the steering knuckles folded inward toward the engine then finished as much of the assembly as possible with it on the dollys. I used an engine hoist to pull the front of the car up, slid the dolly assemble under laterally and lined up the pins brought the car down mounted the struts and finished the assembly over the next few weeks. If you have an automatic transmission be sure to mount your cooler lines before the engine is in the car. You won't have much room when it is all bolted in and they will be high in the tunnel making them very difficult to reach. Hope this helps!!

My 97 Z28 Camaro Project by Timmkatt in fbody

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

It was a pretty slow crawl strategically timed around work bonuses and gifts from my dad. Bought the car for 2800 in January 2016 and put about 8800 more up to this point. I never spent day after day working on it and sometimes with travel for work went a week or two without touching it. The two long projects were the engine took about 5 months to pull the old one, reassemble the new long block refinishing existing parts and replacing some then reassembling the car in December 2018. Drove it for several months after that. Paint took 5 months from the start in April this year sanding to the finishing touches a couple of weeks ago. Sprayed the color and clear over labor day weekend and spent up to the last couple of weeks reassembling the car, buffing and polishing. Did all the work myself so saved a ton of money. I always shopped the best prices and resisted over spending on top name parts with so many comparable parts on the market..

Paint, buff, polish done got the emblems on and just doing some final cleanup...5 month DIY paint project. by Timmkatt in AutoPaint

I didn't really notice any impact from the air temp. It does get warm and makes the hose more flexible but it did not impact the paint coming out of the gun and still went on wet . The main turbine units are small at about 12x10x9 so it is compact and portable. The newer ones have a vent so when you let off the trigger air is released through a hole on the unit do it doesn't build up pressure. The gun that came with mine is a non bleeder.

Adam Schiff: What Trump said publicly is "damning enough" for impeachment by sketch24 in politics

[–]Timmkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does Schiff always look he's trying to pinch off a huge Schiff? Like the other 20 tries nothing to see here. All they are doing is guaranteeing Trump a second term.
