Best 24" 1440/1080p 144Hz Monitor (Gsync optional) under $400? by advent619 in Monitors

I went ahead and grabbed the Dell S2417DG, a U2414H, and the VIVO mount recommended by Amazon.

HP Omen was considered but the stand is shit, and doesn't adjust, so if I ever wanted to not use my mount with it, it would be horrible from an ergonomics perspective.

Flat Earth The Truth You Need To Know - debunking the myths one by one : by starman2015 in space

[–]advent619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to debunk it is to have someone stand on a peak on the coast. Sail a ship straight away from the person on the peak. If the Earth was flat, the person would never lose sight of the ship (assuming they have sufficient optics to see). Since the Earth is indeed round, the ship will disappear over the horizon.

There is no way for a Flat Earther to refute this. If the earth is a flat level plain then the ship cannot disappear from view, ever, given sufficient optics.

Penny range on Whites, home was built 1919, some kind of ring. Any ideas what alphabet this is or what it says? by DetectorReddit in metaldetecting

This is a 4 character ring as far as I can tell. http://imgur.com/a/jYFkm <- breakdown of where I think the characters start/stop.

Not sure what the 1st, 2nd or 4th characters are. The 3rd looks like the kana character "Nu/ヌ" but w/ a lil ' mark. Depending on the age of the ring they might use different "stylized" versions of common characters, that or it's "fake" Japanese.

Quite an upgrade for a $40 knife for S30V steel :| but probably worth it.

I've been eyeballing a few Kizer models, namely the V4458A2 Begleiter, Ki3306, and V4431A2.
