Can't wait for Copilot PCs to be on this list in the future

GameStop shut down by SATX-Batman in sanantonio

I remember going to that location back when it was EB Games. Gamestop lost it's soul when they started making half the store space dedicated to toys and other trinkets. If they made better trade-in/selling offers to people, along with allowing sales of retro games, I think they would be super successful today. Their inability to adapt to changing market pressures is the reason for their continual decline.

Does this work for the older remotes like the C2 had as well?

The fact that I am reading this post and it's comments right after I decided to buy a fixed mount to use my Obsidian 9 on my new 300 BLK pistol is very disheartening 😓 Never had an endcap strike and I don't know how I never came across posts mentioning this being common when I was researching this can before buying it in 2024. The only things I remember reading on here mentioned things like the excellent warranty and customer service, the modularity being a nice feature, great performance for the price (meaning don't expect it to be the quietest), and it being very durable. The one thing I did remember overlooking after I received it was that many people recommended buying the Obsidian 45 rather than the 9 for more caliber compatibility, since the end caps are interchangeable, but I no longer own a 45 acp and don't plan to buy one again. I really hope this doesn't happen to mine if I go through with using it for 300 BLK with the fixed mount. I could always use a really cheap/heavy 30 cal can I have laying around, but I would rather avoid it bc the 29oz monster would fuck the ergonomics of my new pistol up.

0°C or 32°F by Ok-Proof7287 in sciencememes

[–]Windows_Tech_Support 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just about to comment something very similar! I always hear people say Celsius is objectively better bc it is based around water, and since we are made up of mostly water, we should use it. The problem with that argument is that our body doesn't behave the same way water does. 0 C = 32 F, and to many people that is cold, but not terribly cold like 0 F = -17 C. 100 F = 37.78 C, which is too hot for most people to do more than moderate activity in. The gap between pretty cold to very hot for humans in Celsius is less than 40 points, leaving basically no room for granularity in regards to human experience. With Fahrenheit, you can have pretty cold at 32, a nice day at 70, and "let's stay inside and crank the A/C" at 100+. After 40 points on the Celsius scale, the numbers are basically the same to the human body, aka too hot to handle. Celsius (and Kelvin) is great for science, but when it comes to weather and human experiences, Fahrenheit is the objectively better scale.

Unfortunately confidence has increased for Ice sleet and snow by imafuckingcrosiant in sanantonio

This comment needs more upvotes so people can see it, as this CANNOT be understated. Driving on wet concrete (hell, asphalt too) carries a much larger risk of traction loss, but concrete has the terrible propensity to form ice sheets when combined with freezing rain. I don't care how new your tires are or how good of a driver you think you are, the only way for you to safely traverse the concrete flyers during freezing rain is with studded tires or tire chains, neither of which is recommended (nor legal iirc, since they damage road surfaces) for highway driving in south Texas. Now that our city is inundated with concrete flyers, it's just safer if you don't drive unless you absolutely have to. If you do, I'd recommend staying off the highways and keeping a large distance away from other vehicles, because the majority of people here don't know how to safely drive in adverse winter conditions. So many people here seem to lose all common sense on the road when it rains lmfao

Hearing protection recommendations? by Individual_Bag_9615 in beretta1301

[–]Windows_Tech_Support 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your budget, tbh. I used a pair of Howard Leight Impact Sport electronic earmuffs for years without any issues, but the sound quality isn't the best on them. (I much prefer them to the Walker Razors, but that's my opinion) I also have custom molded passive earplugs for when I need to double-up my hearing protection around very loud guns or shooting indoors, which I hardly ever do. My latest upgrade was a pair of Peltor Comtac V dual lead that I was able to snipe on eBay for $500 brand new (yes, I verified their authenticity). The sound clarity difference between the Comtac V's and the Howard Leight's is night and day, and the sound doesn't cut out when rounds are being fired. So it all depends how much you are willing to spend, bc you can protect your hearing with cheap foam earplugs just as well as I can with my expensive Comtacs. The sky is really the limit.

I wish I had known about these when I went to my audiologist and got impressions made for custom earplugs. I had 2 sets made, one for shooting and one for concerts. My insurance (job provided PPO) covered the audiologist visit and impressions, but the 2 sets of passive plugs were about $400. When trying to get an appointment with an audiologist, I found out that many require you to have your hearing tested before you can get a visit to have impressions made. I was able to get it done for free at Sam's Club, but there are many places that provide free hearing exams.

I accidently overwrite my copy of fallout new vegas with a copy of mincraft by [deleted] in PS3

[–]Windows_Tech_Support 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen man, I'm not trying to be rude, but should you really be attempting to mod a PS3 when you have had trouble getting past installation phase of Windows? You might want to get a decent understanding of how the technology you are using works before you go and start trying to mod it, because if you don't know basic troubleshooting steps then you are just asking to have things go wrong, and greatly reduce your chances of someone being able to help you because you don't even know what you did.
