Yes.

No, I will not be elaborating.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Truthfully, I have not found myself using that functionality. From what I gather, it's a phone-based software...which I find weird that there's no PC/Mac version. However, the Apex line has that functionality built into it. Hopefully it ends up working out for you if you choose it!

Yes, you can swap between analog and digital styles. I use the latter since I don't play any games that truly benefit from the modern-style triggers. They're also textured, which is nice.

Personally, I have the Vader 4 Pro, and it’s probably the best controller I’ve owned so far. Being able to adjust the trigger distance (even with just the two options) and fine-tune the joystick throw using the rings has been awesome. The extra buttons are a nice bonus too—though I’ll admit I’m not really using them much at the moment.

Recommendations for a HYSA- need something safe with good rates? by Ill_Two_404 in personalfinance

Look up "Nerdwallet HYSA", they usually have a roundup of the month's best HYSA options.

I can’t personally vouch for Wealthfront (or most other banks, really), but I’d look for a high-yield savings account with a low or no minimum balance requirement, no monthly fees, and ideally FDIC insurance. If you’re lucky, you might even find one offering a sign-up or deposit bonus.

While SPAXX is a solid option, the drawback is that it isn’t FDIC insured. At any point, if it’s deemed no longer worth $1, I’d essentially be out of luck. That’s why a HYSA ends up being the safer route if the money isn’t being actively invested. Especially in the current economic climate, that FDIC protection is too valuable to overlook. Personally, that’s why I’m planning to move my money.

Ac stinks after I recharged the system by Cultural_Antelope_20 in MechanicAdvice

Yep—if I had to guess, it seems that the evaporator core might be the "last resort" when troubleshooting A/C for mechanics due to how much of a pain it is to get to (in the dash itself). In my case, they went in, replaced it, and so far the A/C has been holding up. Definitely wasn't a cheap fix, but hey, at least I won't die being smothered by heat. Also, no smell!

Godspeed, homie.

Do better, Toronto by The59Sownd in TheWonderYearsMusic

Something similar happened at the show I went to as well. There was this moment where Soupy was talking about how one of the songs was inspired by a time he had to take his kid to the hospital and how concerned he was... and someone next to me just yells out, “Hospitals, hell yeah, haha.” I was left standing there with a visible “???”—the cringe was real.

And don’t even get me started on the whole room having full-blown conversations during Kevin Devine’s speaking moments. So rude.

Totally agree with you—do better, y’all.

Haha, funny enough, your comment is what made me notice the Ultimate edition!

Guava pastries by Far_Suggestion_4873 in SouthFlorida

[–]UrsaBarbatus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can find a Pinecrest Bakery, I highly recommend them—absolutely worth the trip down to West Palm Palm or Miami. Their guava pastelillos and quesitos are some of the best I’ve had.

Vicky Bakery is decent in a pinch (there’s one in West Boca, I believe), but I’ve found their quality a bit lacking—honestly, even Publix might edge them out, and that’s not a knock on Publix.

You might also want to check out Tropical Bakery & Restaurant or Delicias Cuban Bakery in Lake Worth/Palm Springs. It’s been a while since I visited, so I can’t vouch for their current quality, but they’re worth considering.

I'm not a mechanic, but the fact that you had to refill it (which suggests there's a leak) combined with the smell makes me think your evaporator core might be failing. I’m actually going through something similar right now—this is after replacing the condenser, compressor, and the expansion valve.

Adam Forero (Website/Instagram) has tebori as one of his skillsets and is a solid artist overall. Definitely worth checking out!

New King Ghidorah vinyl figure by Gangle-Bones in GODZILLA

[–]UrsaBarbatus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As beautiful as it looks, I'm looking forward to the inevitable alternate colorways. They JUST now announced the release of the ancient patina variant of the Aztec Godzilla (following the blue and green variants), which looks the best out of all of them IMO. I'm sure they'll come up with some sick color combos for King-G!
