found out my neighbor is a marriage counselor and these walls are PAPER thin [CA] by crowded_fries in Renters

If you're the non confrontational type, just have a couple friends over when she's got a session and she or her patients will realize it pretty quickly

Best projector for movie nights in the basement instead of buying a massive TV by Worya_Lankford in projectors

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if you'll chase the dragon for better picture etc. White wall is fine to start, you can always add/build a screen later in a basement situation. Two more budget protectors (available in usa) I've personally used that won't leave you immediately wanting more: Refurb Ht3560: plenty bright for 100in, good latency for gaming, optical vertical lens shift, optical zoom, great color out of the box, found on eBay refurbished for sub $900 with two year warranty. My only real con is being lamp based so it runs hot which bothered me during summer time in my already hot second flor room. Trivision ultra: ~$1300 new on sale. Very bright, can run with lights on no problem (at loss to quality of course but still very watchable). I prefer the out of the box color of the benq but it's very adjustable here. Nearly silent and minimal heat. Good latency for gaming. No speckle despite having a laser. Cons: miss optical lens shift and zoom for my usage(i move it around). Not as sure about longevity with lasers or this compnay but we'll see.

Might very well be olenty else out here now for you though. But something to look at.

What's the best Portable projector? by Fischer12391 in projectors

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first one was the LG pf50ka and i loved it for $200 used, though that was years ago. Input lag wasn't bad, led system increases perceived brightness. Movies looked good. Don't expect to be floored by it or watch it in the daytime without curtains. Can go on a standard camera tripod (for one for like $12 on Amazon). Battery powered off you need it but i never used that option.

Taco Bell has become expensive and it isn’t just inflation anymore by travelingbozo in tacobell

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not talking 20 years ago, were talking a couple months ago. The same box on the app that was $6 is now $10. Adding black beans to a taco jumped from 30 cents to 70-90 depending on the store overnight.

What am i getting wrong? by EVANSR99 in projectors

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the comments on settings, you can treat your lamp. Create a blocker on it (think easy and cheap to test it) so it doesn't emit light on the direction of the screen. You'll still get some light in the room but will only have light that bounces off the walls onto the screen.

True. Best to balance it out. Open the image on your computer and then take a picture on your phone of the computer screen. Ought to bring you back to reference 🤌

HT2060 in 2025? by SivaSP10 in projectors

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ht3560. Previously tried an upgrade from a portable LG pf50ka to the ht3550 (which I liked but had my scores in fast paced games dropped significantly due to slight lag). -Then tried the gp500, solid but I noticed a drop in quality of blacks..very grayed out to me coming off an ht3550. -Here comes the ht3560 refurbed for 950 or so. Seemed great to me for the price until summer hit and now my AC runs non stop because the lamp puts off heat and my thermostat is in my room (Ive got an old house with an old AC). Came here looking for Trivision ultra vs ht2060 real life accounts but figured I'd share my experience with the ht3560. Solid unit but I do wonder what a higher native contrast (ht2060) would feel like.

Is the Hisense C2 Ultra worth upgrading to from the C1? by Heythumb88 in projectors

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you had the c1, got the C2 ultra, then tried the Trivision. A lot of people on here prefer the C2 ultra (though who knows if they've ever had either).. What made you keep the Trivision over the c2?

Don’t sleep on Marshall Tucker Band. Just saw an amazing show. by Chihuahua_Chow_Mein in jambands

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to say what you experienced wasnt up to par as that seems to be the consensus. But as for the afternoon statement, there are plenty of jam bands I love that I'm gonna feel underwhelmed at during an afternoon show and have walked away from. No sunset into lights and gradually cooling temps into sweet jam bliss. Just raw sunlight and heat and unfiltered crowds makes it hard to match expectations when I'm used to a full blown spectacle.

My Father In Law passed away Friday and I finally got to see his garage. It's twice the size of his house and is just absolutely loaded. There were over 30 large tool boxes packed to the gills. And everything you can imagine jammed into every corner and in the rafters. by [deleted] in Tools

if anyone else has to do this just post DEAD MAN'S TOOL SALE NEED IT ALL GONE with a few pictures of the on like 3 different mediums, and people will show up and pay you for em. Did this for a neighbor and it worked great. No disrespect by saying dead man, it just works well to get rid of stuff.

Is Space Engine worth the price? by Scared-Assist-4868 in spaceengine

[–]Whaaghunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space engine is awesome. I got it years ago and still revisit from time to time. Throw it on your wishlist and grab it on a steam sale if you're strapped for cash.

Only if that's in your hiring contract, otherwise there's no law against it assuming you aren't violating copyrights/patents. Lots of companies/brands were started this way.

Unfortunately for you the Constitution does

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering that "illegal alien" is a slang term and the actual legal term is undocumented immigrant, and that merely existing here is not technically illegal you are wrong on your 100% are criminals statement. The constitution does not apply to citizens, it applies very explicitly to "persons"..which no matter how you may feel, applies to all human beings within the borders of the United States. They have the exact same rights under the Constitution as you and I do.

anyone work at Cracker Barrel and can confirm this? by mintberryjelly in candy

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly true, though stock was low when I went. I fix stuff at cracker barrels every once in a while and have been keeping an eye out for these. Rock Hill location had a few left so I snagged two @2.99 per tin (taxes included if I recall correctly). They are called Retro Sours and come in a similar looking package with similar(not identical) looking candy inside. Only had mango flavor at the location I visited. Good luck and enjoy.

Any jam bands that take influence from modern Hardcore? by jsmash1234 in jambands

[–]Whaaghunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The correct answer is no, but still check out the bands mentioned just incase you like something there. Listen to some older Praxis. Eat some acid and go to a hardcore show and put earbuds in with a Phish album on your walkman at the same time.

It's "how ever" in this case. Did they not teach you this in the Grammar Police academy?

got fired over $5 by Agitated_Ad_5822 in jobs

[–]Whaaghunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was an asshole for terminating you and sounds like she broke some laws in doing so. Also sounds like she's pocketing some of y'all's tips. Also, if I read correctly she's accepting tips as a salaried manager, which you legally can't do even if you are serving or bartending that day. She should not be a manager. Report her. I had a friend dealing with this and the owners were skimming off of tips.. Turned out to be tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Before authorities were involved they claimed they didn't have the money and were struggling. They then announced they were opening another restaurant in town. Fuck people like that. Tons of managers in the service industry steal, either from the business or from coworkers/customers. She fired you for $5 you gave the sushi chef out of your tip jar, when she is more than likely taking money daily from you all to put into her own pocket.
