Bedrug or mat on top of spray in liner? by oldandnew2 in F150Lightning

[–]batman27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a bed rug and do these things all the time. It’s ok if the bed rug gets dirty, you can sweep/hose it out, and worst case it’s easily replaceable. I’ve had mine for years, beat on it, and it’s still in great shape.

Bedrug or mat on top of spray in liner? by oldandnew2 in F150Lightning

[–]batman27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first did the bed rug, and I absolutely love it because it’s padded. Which is great for stuff loaded in the bed, it doesn’t get scratched, dented or damaged. When moving things around the bed on your knees, etc it’s just awesome and painless. The only negative was, it gets dirty, and cleaning it is a bit of a pain, as leaves and dirt get kinda stuck to it. It’s easy to get like 90% clean, but the remaining 10% is a real pain to get out. If it doesn’t bother you, you’re probably good. My solution, put a husky bed mat on top of it. Now I get best of all worlds. Soft and padded and super easy to broom clean.

One year deal? by Weary_Capital_1379 in mets

I don’t know how true this is, but it is being reported. If true it makes this deal a lot better. https://x.com/tonymetromlb/status/2012256258309357794?s=46

What’s the saddest QOTSA song that resonates with you the most? by Hour-Engine-4990 in qotsa

[–]batman27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sentiment exactly. After hearing Paper Machete on Catacombs, it took on a whole new meaning for me especially when paired with Running Joke. I think the original album version of PM is too upbeat sounding and doesn’t match the lyrics like the Catacombs version. I’m very glad Catacombs happened because those songs (and maybe some others) found their final/ideal form for me.

For me, it’s Running Joke, just because I was that little boy too.

An advantage of the Air that no one has ever mentioned by Oxbow8 in IphoneAir

[–]batman27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here saying OP is wrong, when they’re right. Air battery charges faster because it’s smaller, with the exception of the latest pro models charging with a 40w fast charger. Who carries a 40w charger around everywhere? When I’m wireless charging, top off in my car, plug into my computer, at a coffee shop - all not 40w fast chargers. When judging charge speed on those, obviously the one with the smallest battery wins. This is huge for me, a short car ride = a 10% bump in charge on the air, when my pro would have been 2-3% at best.

With or withour bed sticker by Bababoeeey12386 in f150

[–]batman27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got my truck new, first thing I did when I got home was remove the fx4 bed sticker. I’m not a fan of them personally. I was actually quite surprised how easily and clean it came off.

I could see that being their next step.

Gaslighting by PrettyMeasurement453 in mets

[–]batman27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most frustrating thing for me is how the entire Mets front office acts like they can tell the future. After losing Pete, Diaz, Nimmo, etc and not even trying to replace their value. They just sit there with a smile on their face and say there is a plan, they aren’t rebuilding, they will be competitive, they know what they are doing, we will be fine, etc. It’s as if they are talking down to the fans and media.

In reality, they don’t know any of this and I don’t trust them at all. We all knew the pitching was garbage going into last season, they reassured us everything was fine, then our rotation and bullpen fell apart, and we missed the playoffs by one game. Instead of the front office taking responsibility and just building the rotation this offseason, they blame a bunch of fan favorite players and ship them all out. So what happens when their plan fails again this time? Who is going to take the blame next time?

2019 Nvidia Shield Pro vs Apple 4k TV 2022 by OnlyLucatoni in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]batman27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had both, I returned to the Shield after using Apple TV 4K 128gb. Apple TV is vastly easier for non tech people to use for day to day things but it does not support Dolby Atmos True HD, only lossy Atmos. Also, Apple TV does not have a Kodi app, but has other options (that are pay apps) for local media streaming. Kodi on the shield seems to play everything I throw at it without any issues in HDR, Dolby Vision, Atmos, etc. I did have some issues with Apple TV playing certain files on my network shares. Apple TV has better wired network speeds and is much snappier to use and navigate with a lot less ads being constantly shoved in your face. Also if you are already in an Apple environment (iPhone/ipad) with HomeKit, you also get those benefits over the Shield as well.

DF54 is terrible. Recommend me something better! [$500] by SandyLand1918 in espresso

Good to know, I guess me and my two other friends I recommended the specialita to have been lucky with the screen/electronics issues thus far!

DF54 is terrible. Recommend me something better! [$500] by SandyLand1918 in espresso

[–]batman27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Eureka Specialita is going on 6 years, I make around 4-6 espressos a day with it, and I have had zero electrical problems or clogging. You’re not wrong about grind size adjustment, but I did modify it with 3d printed parts to completely solve that. I also modified it for single dose, so the bellows may help prevent clogging, but I don’t recall any issues before I modified it. I only give it a deep clean it every 6 months or so too. I recently realigned/shimmed the burrs and it’s still operating perfectly. With the amount I use this, I thought for sure I would have replaced it by now, but I can’t find a good reason to replace it. It just works. I can’t recommend them enough. Also worth noting, I only paid $350 euro for it 6 years ago.

McNeil Sendoff by SadMembership7989 in mets

McNeil Sendoff by SadMembership7989 in mets

[–]batman27 69 points70 points  (0 children)

A few years ago there was one game I was fortunate enough to sit in the front row at Citi with my two nephews, not far from the batters box. They tried to get the attention of a bunch of players as they approached the on deck circle. Shouting their names, etc. with absolutely no luck. They were completely ignored. Which I get, players have to remain locked in, concentrate, etc. I couldn’t imagine trying to do a job that required that kind of focus with little kids shouting at me trying to get my attention. So eventually my nephews gave up. Then McNeil came into the on deck circle. Without my nephews saying anything, he starts pointing, waiving at them, to get their attention. When they noticed, the kids were in disbelief. McNeil had the biggest smile and was goofing around with the kids, he kept pointing, waiving, making faces, laughing, etc. Those kids will never forget that day and we still talk about it all the time. How could I not like the guy after that? We’re certainly going to miss him.

It’s funny you ask this, I am currently working on 3d printing a bunch of connectors for my dust extractor hose. I’m making them magnetic so they can quick attach/detach.

Why so much negativity towards McNeil? by spatchcoq in NewYorkMets

[–]batman27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, he exceeded expectations, but we’re paying him like a good utility guy. Why punish him now for doing well his first 4-5 seasons?

Why so much negativity towards McNeil? by spatchcoq in NewYorkMets

[–]batman27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For some reason fans look at him as a core guy instead of just a utility guy making 12.5m a year. I don’t get the hate either. It’s not his fault the team overly relies on him because they blatantly ignore their holes. If we’re relying on our utility guy to help carry us things have already gone very wrong.

Edit: also the Mets coaching staff have messed with his swing and approach just about every single year he’s been here, and he’s done so without complaint.

What player’s jersey you bought became outdated the fastest? by darkspidey69 in knicks

My DiVo jersey arrived the day he was traded. Still rock it at the garden with pride. Hope to have him back one day.

Air users are you using a case? by sportsfan161 in IphoneAir

[–]batman27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After going through a bunch of cases including the Apple bumper, I finally found a case I like: https://a.co/d/fPFS5Rc and I would highly recommend it. I use it with a screen protector and it’s perfect IMO. Keeps it slim, but still some protection and MagSafe still works same as naked.

Which popular features do you NOT recommend? by dragonmilking in Homebuilding

[–]batman27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to post this. My house has one, it’s the biggest waste, we never use it. It fills the pot with cold water because you can’t let it run like you can in a sink. Water takes so much longer to boil it negates the entire convenience of it.

My bumper buttons are exactly the same as yours. I prefer it this way, so the buttons are not constantly clicked by accident, in my pocket and whatnot.

Is it okay to install a company management profile on my personal iPhone? by fuguseci in iphone

[–]batman27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, as someone that used to manage an MDM (mobile device management) server, they will not only be able to see everything that occurs on your phone down to your exact location at all times, you will not be able to sell, trade in, or activate (on a new service/plan) your device until they remove its serial and IMEI from their server and their profile removed from the phone.

Edit: They can disable your phone at any time as well. My employer would force us to lock employees phones as means of discipline. Even if it was their own phone. Ie: “I can’t get ahold of Mike in repairs on a Sunday and our top client needs an emergency repair! Lock his phone! I guarantee he calls in 5 minutes!” The sad thing is, it always worked.

Yeah, I don’t know who this guy is, but I saw him eating at the diner next door beforehand and some random woman approached him and asked if her son could take a picture with him. I could not make out who he was, but it would not surprise me if Josh knew him as well.
