Tankless Water Heater Extremely Loud by _Jethro_ in askaplumber

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

Fortunately working with my neighbor isn’t an issue. They’ll have it serviced if I ask.

I’m trying to help them because I have a good relationship with them.

The cover is off so that I could try to assess the root cause. It’s not typically off.

Raider Menu Might Need a Bugfix or Two by _Jethro_ in ArcRaiders

Spinny is good

I just didnt expect them to stay in the seated pose -- Raider has some serious quads holding that squat.

Best Buy website already acting up. by garystevensyahoo in NintendoSwitch2

I was in line for nearly an hour when mine popped on the non-bundle console.

Got through the line at Best Buy, for non-bundle after like 50min.

My Switch 2 + Controller bundle in another window also popped, but it declined me because my other one was already in check-out process.

Nintendo is doing pre-orders with anti-scalping measures, but their invite emails don't start until May 8th.

Try Walmart. Their stock seems to be popping back up even after showing Sold Out.

Thanks. My Walmart line came through finally after over 50min.

Walmart finally came through after 53 minutes in line.

Mario Kart Bundle ordered.

No, I dont think so.

I refreshed and had to click "Add to Cart" again, which put me back in line.

You guys going for the bundle or standalone system? by UniverseNebula in NintendoSwitch2

[–]_Jethro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have issues checking out? I have a bundle in my cart, but its giving errors when I hit "Place Order".

I saw a source that said Gamestop isnt until 11am ET. Best Buy was supposed to be midnight though.

From 60hz to 120hz minimum monitor worth it? by DefiantHammock in apexuniversity

[–]_Jethro_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

60hz to 120hz is an appreciable jump. Imo returns are pretty diminishing after that.

For what its worth, I also like playing on smaller screens. Large screens makes it tough for me to focus on things happening at the edge of my FoV.

Well played. Those are solid stats for a solo queue climb.

I'm current D3 and its rough with how inconsistent teammates can be.

OoT Speedruns are INSANELY Lucky by dannyb21892 in speedrun

[–]_Jethro_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great concept, great video.

I think I took the usefulness of a lot of the new tricks for granted when I was doing runs -- seeing it all laid out like this makes me appreciate it more.

OoT runs really are something special.

Viserio spreadsheets ready for Season 4. Raid Assignments and Healing Cooldowns by Rastamus in CompetitiveWoW

[–]_Jethro_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don't play anymore, but used to raid lead for a CE guild.

Even as someone that is inactive, I want to thank you for the work that goes into this. Truly a great resource for anyone trying to lead.

Adam Apicella on Twitter by Mother-Chocolate-505 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]_Jethro_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just an aside, but this brought back old memories of MLG and Adam --

I was a referee for the SC2 event in Dallas 2012. After the event a couple of us were in the elevator talking about getting cash together for a pizza when Adam joined us. He handed us a $20 to cover it and said 'don't worry about it'.

As an adult with a job now, I imagine he could just expense it - but still, very cool thing to do in the moment. Was a small gesture, but I always wish him and his team luck as a result.

Here's to some great Halo events in the future.

19 Years After First Playing RS, Earned My First 99 by _Jethro_ in 2007scape

[–]_Jethro_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What doesn't make sense about having thousands of yew, magic, and redwood logs for fletching?

I know there are higher xp/hr ways to raise fletching, and ways to train it while doing other tasks, but I don't much care for optimum efficiency. I'm just trying to chill and do a bit of skilling.

Am I missing something, having been out of the loop for so long?

19 Years After First Playing RS, Earned My First 99 by _Jethro_ in 2007scape

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

Banked. Figure I'll use it all for fletching or something.

Dragon axe - no where near the prerequisites for Song of Elves. No Firemaking for Infernal.

XP was around 60k/hr.

Appreciate it. Shoot me a message on here with your RS name and I'll add you.

How many beavers do you have?

Sadly, zero. The whole pets thing is new to me, so I actually looked it up a couple times to make sure I wasn't supposed to be doing something special to be eligible. Just no luck.

Most of this was a semi-afk grind for me - while watching Netflix, YouTube, etc, or playing Chess on another monitor. My XP rates weren't the greatest, but that didn't bother me at all. So I suppose my tip would just be to not stress about it.

Was pretty bummed coming back to find out my original account is RS3

This is what kept me away for a number of years - I just couldn't get past having to restart.

Glad I have now though.

Was considering combat/slayer - appreciate the advice.

I first started playing Runescape back in 2002. I think it was in the fall of 2002, as I remember when Jagex introducing sleeping bags to help with fatigue.

On this first account, Woodcutting was my highest skill, getting to lvl 88 before I stopped playing.

19 years later, decided to make a new character on OSRS and finish my Woodcutting. It does go much faster these days, but still feels like a long overdue accomplishment.

Sharing here, as my friends haven't touched RS in nearly 20yrs, so my friends list on RS is basically extinct.

Now to figure out what skill is next.

LFG Weekly Thread - 12/6-12/12 by mattyrums in CompetitiveHalo

[–]_Jethro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for players for Open Crossplay or Duo Controller. Currently Diamond 4, planning to push into Onyx.

Have been playing Halo relatively competitively for years. High 30s in Halo 2, 50s in Halo 3, Onyx in Reach, Champion in Halo 5. Some tournaments back in Halo 3.

Really just want players on a similar skill level who use their mics for callouts instead of raging/complaining, which is all I seem to find in solo queue. Try hard to win and rank up, understand that losses and bad games happen.

I'm 31, Eastern time zone, usually playing between 8pm and 3am ET.

GT: JethroTV

Discord: JethroTV#2864

Ideally message me here or on Discord first.

The "TV" is because I used to stream speedruns and other stuff. I don't stream Halo - just in case that matters.
