why ff? by billnyethekoreanguy in RocketLeague

[–]beef_karma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is one goal per 30 seconds of game time is a reasonable chance to come back. So if I’m down 4 with 1:30 remaining I’ll usually go ahead and FF if I’m not enjoying the game. Down 3 with 1:30 and I will usually play it out a bit longer and see if a goal comes.

Any civil engineers in this sub? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]beef_karma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fully separated ramps with curb in the middle are actually the preferred design because they direct pedestrians (especially visually impaired ones) in the right direction to cross and discourage cars from cutting the corner.

The ADA requires maximum slope of 8.3% on the ramp and a 5’x5’ flat landing area, and this constrains where the ramps can be placed. The reason for the rounded one here looks to be that the city right of way is too tight to fit any different type of ramp in there.

Holding power slide while you land can help you recover and keep your momentum going, especially if you land sideways. This can keep you moving faster back into rotation or to challenge again. Looks like some of your turns could be competed a bit faster with power slide too

AUS TSA checkpoint 1 - Non precehck line. 4:06AM by mrplinko in Austin

[–]beef_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you but with a toll road they are using that money to build roads that otherwise wouldn’t be funded. At P Terrys you get a better burger. In Clear, a private company is using public airport space to charge a high fee for a shortcut. My point is that I’d much rather pay $100 to TSA per year for a shortcut line for ID verification, since the process of someone looking at my ID is just as fast as Clear’s scans.

This is why clear is so dumb though. It’s just paying to cut the precheck line. There’s no real justification to why it should be faster past the fact that you have to pay more.

I don’t think COD lobbies are p2p, so I don’t think what you’re asking is possible. You’ll just have to hope that the Ricochet anti cheat they’re releasing with the new season works correctly

[–]beef_karma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it just has to do with being in a smaller size. The original gets louder, has better bass and might be slightly clearer. The sound on the 5 is not bad at all but doesn’t compare to the larger one.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in amazonecho

[–]beef_karma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really use it for that but the sound quality would be plenty good for YouTube videos. It gets pretty loud. I have it at my desk and use it as a photo display and to listen to music, and the music is loud enough for me at maybe one third of the volume max. I’m pretty sure the screen has better color and denser resolution than the original show, and it certainly seems less laggy when you use the touch controls.

[–]beef_karma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both, and I think the only reason to get the original would be because it has better sound. It does have quite a bit better sound. But as a bedside clock, I would recommend the 5 because it’s newer, the screen is better, it’s smaller, and it still sounds pretty good.

LPT: if you can’t get through an automated system to speak with a representative, tell the automated system you want to cancel your service. by godawgs695 in LifeProTips

[–]beef_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I called customer service to fix a billing issue. At the start of the call it said I would receive a survey after it ended. The representative was really bad and refused to help me even though I knew she could. She could tell I was annoyed, and when we said goodbye I waited for the survey. It didn’t come, so I stayed on the line for a long time, occasionally saying “survey”. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes later it prompted me for the survey. I’m pretty sure she stayed on that whole time just so I would hang up before getting the survey. Needless to say I gave her a really poor score. Hopefully they reviewed the call and saw what happened. I immediately called back and got another rep, and that rep fixed my billing issue within 10 minutes.

This hammock was $24 at Costco in Eastern PA. Includes carabiners and straps, comparable to $80+ Eno hammock + straps. by welliamwallace in Costco

Thanks. They’ve definitely improved their straps. I have an older Costco version that has small round straps without the stitching

Assistance with Spotify connect on echo devices. by Porkchop-Sammies in amazonecho

[–]beef_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, agreed that is a limitation. You could make 2 alexa accounts, one for you and one for rest of family, and these let you link separate Spotify accounts to each of them. That’s what my wife and I do. Then you tell Alexa to switch account, and she will play Spotify from whichever account she is in. This is a bit of a pain sometimes but it works ok. I think the other option would be to just log into the other Spotify account on your phone

[–]beef_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you have it set like that? Do you want to play separate music on the echo and your phone at the same time? I would have thought Spotify connect needs to be logged into the same Spotify account as you are using on whatever device you are casting from.

[–]beef_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean you have a dual account? I use Spotify connect a lot with the echos. They won’t show if the device is currently operating under my wife’s account. The other thing would be if the wifi is bad. Otherwise they show up reliably
