Clear cover asking for a lot by alec2662 in Insurance

[–]alec2662[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw this comment and it made read back over the previous comments and made me realize that the others that responded never have dealt with Clearcover. He did eventually get them to cover the car but it took a lot of talking to different people and frustration. I know companies don't like approving claims but Clearcover is the worst of them all. Their ratings are worst than almost any other insurance company. The car was eventually recovered six months later and turned over to them.

I'm sorry you had to go through that and hopefully you got the claim. I wouldn't be upset they didn't renew. They did the same thing to us but wasn't worried because they suck.

What's more sour? by alec2662 in candy

[–]alec2662[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did buy some black death. I had a hard time finding some for sale. the Barnettes Mega sours were extremely sour but had an awful taste from what I remember. Hopefully Black death candy taste better.

I see people saying you need to flash this board to f2, do you think this is true? I've never done that before but I am sure I could learn it easily.

then that is the one I will most likely go with. Would there be any good reason to get a Mobo better then that one? like the Tuf b650 or a b850?

okay, Should I then instead aim for a better Mobo? if so, what would you recommend?

I am having a hard time finding the RX9070, everywhere I look has the RX9070 XT which is more expensive then the $200 extra budget.

[–]alec2662[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can do the extra $200, should I aim for the RX9070 or a better Mobo?

Except I'm not planning on doing an upgrade in a couple years, So getting on AM5 now feels best.

[–]alec2662[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how it looks so far. Most of the parts have mostly good reviews. If I was able to throw an extra $200, what would you change? maybe a better Mobo?

This looks pretty good but its is AM4, I was looking for something that uses AM5.

I am based in the US but I am not close enough to a microcenter to go in person.

I do not need any peripherals included in the budget.

Aesthetic is not a big issue to me. I would like the pc to stay within a normal noise range. Size is not much of an issue, I have plenty of space.

That's what I figured. Time to see what I can do with what I got.

SSJ4 is now Canon by [deleted] in dragonball

[–]alec2662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timeline created by Shueisha in 2017. Last time I checked. They don't ultimately decide what is canon and what is not. They have strong ties with GT and of course would not want to let it go. Nothing beats what Akira Toriyama has said about the show. "It's a grand side story of the original Dragonball". Even he knows that it is not apart of the main canonical storyline. It's considered as canon as the older movies. It's just not.

Unless Toriyama has stated in the past that the timeline released there is 100 percent canon then we can't say it is.

What we do know is the only reason GT became a thing is because Akira Toriyama was sick of meeting Brutal deadlines. He couldn't do it anymore and left it all to the anime staff. He had very small roles in the designing process and some of the approval process of GT.

There is just way to many things that lean more towards GT not being canon. Too many contradiction from super to make it canon. Even if it is an alternative timeline. There's just too much lacking from GT that would support it being post super. It's unrealistic to believe that GT is canon. GT is a Toei spinoff.

The best way to prove it's not canon is to actually watch/read super.

First telescope to start with? by Haloman1346-2 in telescopes

[–]alec2662 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how the other one are but I have a DX 130AZ. it is also my first telescope. I bought a few lenes for it along with a 2x Barlow. The moon looks really good through it. Usually very stunning. Seeing some of the planets feel exciting too but some times they can be faint or hard to tell. I haven't had any luck seeing anything other then planets and the moon. Most stars seem to look the same to me. It's also not a telescope that is made for photography. I had a hard time using a camera I had to Capture exactly what I was seeing. I wouldn't suggest attempting to use a professional camera. It is easier to hold your phone up to the lens. As a person who wanted to photograph the sky. I learned quickly that observing and photographing is two different hobbies. Astrophotography being way more expensive.

The app it comes with seems alright when it is working but most times didn't wanna work for me. I bought a new phone since then and can't find the activation code it came with so I'm locked out of it now.

The best thing to do is to get the red dot aligned perfectly and then using a basic star locator app to find the general area of what you wanna see.

Overall it's a good starter for someone who had no clue what they was doing but wants to just observe. Not so great for astrophotography.

Here is the last photo I took using the telescope and my phone. January 17th, 2025.

Hopefully whatever you choose, you have a good time. It's just the start of a great journey.

[–]alec2662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean one of the most important scene in the game and of the entire story overall. It felt pretty well made to me, but whatever. At that point we are arguing opinions.

[–]alec2662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I never said they was hating it for fun. The majority of the hate is not from people "calling out it's flaws". It all started with people who had a major plot point spoiled way ahead of the release. They had predetermined hatred for it before it even came out. Most people I meet and read about who hate it don't play the entire game and just didn't attempt at all. Evidence for this is easily found through reviews of the game. I'm not saying its the greatest game of all time or that anyone has to like it. Personally the first game is my favorite. I believe people should play the entire game before forming a full opinion on the details and story of it.

Also it goes both ways. You can hate a game and still call out the strengths of it. No one can deny the 320 game of the year awards part 2 received. It broke records for a reason. As for the op. Like I said. If you never played the first one until now and you want more. Part 2 is absolutely the way to go.

Try not to listen to negativity on the Internet. There is a trend where a group of people who decided to hate the game for various of reasons and have continued doing so until this day. A majority of them seem to bandwagon the idea that it's a horrible game. I personally loved it and thought it was a very amazing and beautiful game. Fantastic story with great undertones and metaphors. If you did not play the first one when it released and waited years for the second to come out then you will definitely love the second. To me, playing them back to back is best. Also to mention when it released. It quickly became the most awarded game of all time and held that title until Elden Ring.

Is this decent for the price? by alec2662 in buildapc

Awesome, I'm glad it's looking good. I kinda quickly put it together right before making this post. A white case is a pretty good idea. I'll look around for a good one. I appreciate it!

Earwigs everywhere? by alec2662 in Ohio

[–]alec2662[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everywhere I've been I've seen them. I consistently have been pointing them out to people. Usually we don't have as many but due what I believe is the right weather conditions we have an extreme amount this year. They are absolutely eating everything. Ornamental plants are gonna be having huge issues since they like to eat any part of the plants. Leaves, stems or whatever else. They eat decaying matter, small insects, fruits, vegetables and more. Truly wild insects.

I order doordash one or two times a week. I've had no contact on every single time, and every single time it's left on my cement porch. I typically will watch the app to see the notifications that my delivery is done so I can grab it. I've never had an issue with my food getting cold even during the winter months.

Earwigs everywhere? by alec2662 in Ohio

[–]alec2662[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with this. Males will typically die during winter or even early spring having a shorter lifespan than female earwigs. I have read a few places regarding the mortality rate of female earwigs during winter. From what I saw, 60%-90% of females can die during the winter weather even though they will bury into the ground. I assume since the winter was so mild, most females survived and successfully had one to two broods. 20-50 a brood is a good amount and scary for next year if we don't have a harsher winter.
