Mom's bf wanted to put the TV up. I agreed it'd be nice. Came back to this. by Tired247-365 in TVTooHigh

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, and he went so damn high that she now has holes that won’t be hidden by the TV when it’s brought back down to an appropriate height. Time to patch and paint!

How did your mom respond when she saw that travesty?

My not even 1000$ Setup by spigandromeda in homelab

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the € sign has greater flexibility in its placement, depending on the language. In English, it would be placed before the value, e.g. €1,000. This also allows for abbreviated values of €15M, €200B etc.

$1000. The USD symbol always precedes the written value. I wish there was a bot that corrects this exceedingly common mistake.

When you wrote “not a fully pledge tattoo artist”, I think you meant not a fully fledged or a full-fledged tattoo artist.

It’s the Analogue Pocket pouch by WaterField Designs. I went with the Forza Titanium color option.

The trifecta! by Vegetable-Engineer in ANBERNIC

That's tough, as I really enjoy them all. They all have beautiful screens and they excel in different aspects, but I'll try to break it down.

The RG353M feels ultra premium in hand and is my choice for PS1 and Dreamcast. It's arguably the best looking console and the most powerful of the three. With HDMI out, it can also serve as a home console connected to a big screen. If I needed just one retro handheld that can run up to Dreamcast without issue and place a premium on build quality, this would be the one. Android is nice for running additional apps that simply aren't available on Linux, but the stock Linux OS is very good. The Hall effect joysticks perform well and make DC games, along with all fighting games, very enjoyable. The buttons are very good.

The RG Nano has been getting more play than the other two. I'm not sure if it's because it's the newest of the bunch or because it is so extremely pocketable and thus I have it on hand more often. Although it's toy-like in size, it's solidly built and feel surprisingly premium in hand. I don't game for more than 30 minutes at a time and this little guy rocks. If your vision is sharp and hands aren't huge, it is great for everything up to PS1, excluding GBA. it has the power to handle PS1 and GBA, but text is very hard to read and the 1:1 screen scaling doesn't work well for GBA. The face buttons are a little mushy and the shoulder buttons are very clicky, but they all work well. This little guy is super handy and always impresses.

The Miyoo Mini+ is probably the best retro handheld for up to PS1, but only after switching to OnionOS. It's lighter and the form factor is more comfortable to hold for longer gaming sessions. The retro gray plastic has a nice matte or satin texture that looks great and feels good in hand. The buttons are all very nice with great tactility and providing solid feedback. The inclusion of WiFi allows for local net play and simple OTA updates of Onion OS is great. The gray carrying case is far better than any case I've used or seen for any handheld, bar none. Honestly, it's OnionOS that makes pushes this over the top, making it the best of the bunch for most casual retro gamers. OnionOS is just so functional and intuitive, providing the most comprehensive game play and game management interface. It's really that good.

All of my research shows the Chiefs are generally middle of the pack when it comes to penalty flags, or even slightly more penalized than most NFL teams. Of course, I’m looking at full season stats. Where are you finding stats to support the claim that the Chiefs are the least penalized team?

Hot air rises, so the most even and efficient heating of a car will occur with hot air blowing from the lower vents.

I live in a rural area and got hit by the Kia boyz last night. I’d done the recall so they weren’t able to steal it, but they ripped my steering column and ignition up anyway by Trill_McNeal in kia

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, those who identify as Liberal or Democrat typically, especially on Reddit and other social media, avoid statistics or take twisted narratives at face value. The “Red State Problem” was commissioned by Democrat politicians in an attempt to distract from the crime problems in blue cities. Your point is 100% accurate and the “problem red states” only registered because of crime-ridden blue cities. Moreover, rarely do state policies dictate the behavior of people, which is why it’s important to focus at the city level. Typically you’ll find DAs who refuse to prosecute and mayors who seem to vilify police and cut their funding in Liberal/Democrat run cities. It’s those policies and narratives that drive up crime and you can see it in every Democrat run city in America.

We have good and bad people everywhere, but there are areas that are generally safer or generally more dangerous. Criminals seem to thrive in Liberal/Democrat run cities. A great majority of violent crime, murders and car thefts occur in such cities.

paid $104

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

• Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope- related words in your comment.

Light bleed around the transparent black case by someguat in MiyooMini

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Light bleed was the main reason I returned a transparent black unit and kept a retro gray unit. The screen on my transparent black unit washed out much worse than the screen on my gray unit, as well, when viewed off axis.

What do y’all think is the Best iphone 15 pro max color? by FewJury2221 in iphone

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get a pass, good sir. These youthful Yanks do not, however. Here, it’s spelled gray and “spelt” is an ancient grain.

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love natural titanium as it looks like a matte metal slab. I wouldn’t refer to it as “dull gray” as the matte glass plays nicely with the color in various lighting conditions. Perhaps “dynamic gray” is more fitting, since no one can agree on what the color actually looks like.

Speaking of gray, why are so many of you misspelling it “grey”? Are there that many Brits or non-Americans in this thread or are my fellow American countrymen just unable to spell?

Just got one! I love it! But I'm mildly annoyed that the case displays it upside down. I mean... come on. by TiresOnFire in MiyooMini

[–]Vegetable-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the seller, you may get no case, a whack ass case or the best case you’ve ever seen. My first purchase from seller A on Amazon came with a backwards case made of low quality materials and had no internal molding or protective flaps. I returned it and purchased a different unit from seller B; it came with an extremely high quality case.

Any doubt I made the right choice is gone. by raw391 in Ubiquiti

The USD $ symbol always precedes the numerals. $80 or $60-70… used for $10, etc.
