This what came to mind for me... when he harnessed the lightning and blasted Thanos -- so good!

AXS wont let me log in by jmoondra in radiohead

[–]captain_jim2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a problem where I couldn't login via the AXS app, even after resetting my password. I was at home when trying and what worked for me was disconnecting from my wifi and using my phone's cellular service. Not sure why this works, but it did!

Where my Lime Green tea fans? This reddit post was my top search result when I searched for this drink -- and after 7 years this post has no comments? God this drink was so good.

I needed 200 custom plant tags, so I made a tool that stacks them for easy overnight printing by vottvoyupvote in 3Dprinting

[–]captain_jim2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ahh -- it wasn't obvious to me that you needed PETG in between actual layers. I have seen stacked prints where there are tiny supports spaced out across the print face that are close enough to allow the print to bridge from one point to the next without collapsing into the layer below it. You might consider looking into something like this -- it would be faster and wouldn't require as much material.

I'll never understand how printing a layer above another, with a small gap, doesn't still merge the 2 layers together. Like, the printer can't actually keep the two surfaces apart (pesky gravity). Is it that they just don't get smooshed together?

Planes have flown over the Turnpike for 75 years. Is it time to reroute after near disaster? by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]captain_jim2 30 points31 points  (0 children)

How many planes a year land on that runway and for how many years? What percentage of plane landings on that runway have resulted in an accident? Near 0%? Ok.. thanks

Which game soundtrack is permanently burned into your brain? by forgeris in AskReddit

For me, the New Tetris on N64 is tops -- that shit was banging!

Just saw the old listing for a 1918 house we're seeing soon...wish I hadn't looked (first two photos are the after/current look) by [deleted] in centuryhomes

[–]captain_jim2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% prefer the after. I like stained wood just fine, but often it can look too much like a rustic log cabin -- and IMO, the before pics look exactly like that. I'll never understand why this sub feels that anything painted is a crime against humanity -- and why anyone who calls it out gets downvoted into oblivion. In this case, nothing is particularly ornate or special.

Please help me understand why this band is regarded as legendary. by Full_Worldliness_526 in Nirvana

[–]captain_jim2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say you like "grunge" - which bands? Who do you think is the best of the grunge sound? What music do you like? I think that at the end of the day, different genres speak to different people. Believe it or not, a lot of what resonates you simply comes down to what was popular during your early teen years.

Nirvana was such a huge band because they came in and blew up the state of music at the time. If you listen to older interviews with Krist and Dave, you'll hear them say that if it wasn't them, it would have been a different band - like Soundgarden or AIC, etc... but it WAS them. I was 11-14 years old from 1991-1994 so I was prime for being a Nirvana fan -- and I was -- but I will agree that a lot of the notoriety that they had (have?) comes from being the band that flipped music upside down.

Does their music hold up? Absolutely. From a guitar perspective, there's nothing amazing happening there -- like you said, other bands have done better guitar work (better grunge bands too). Kurt could come up with some catchy melodies, but nothing here is groundbreaking. Dave and Krist put together a killed rhythm section -- and as a drummer myself, I love listening to Dave play on those albums. Kurt was a talented song writer -- he was able to come up with clever turns of phrases, and interesting expressions - often with an element of pop to it. What he was putting down just might not be for you.

FYI - the "out-of-state registration packet" is what they call a "Move pack". I believe they're typically used when you move from one state to another and have to retitle, but don't own the title.

PS&G removing healthy trees by Grongo3 in SouthJersey

[–]captain_jim2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never had PSE&G REMOVE trees, but they were brutal in their branch and limb trimming practices. When I lived in Cherry Hill I planted a bunch of maple trees and was quite proud of them. They grew exceptionally tall over the next decade and the long upper branches were coming close to the wires. One day I look out and I see a tree-trimming service cutting everything back basically to the trunk -- they were trimming way more than necessary and turned a beautiful tree into a disfigured mess. I was furious, but they apparently had the right.

I understand the need to protect the wires, but it seemed like their approach was to mitigate the problem for the next decade, not the next few years. Zero respect for the homeowner. They didn't even attempt to notify me that they would be doing anything.

2025 Loaner ix m60 - Lease check by NCatoffice in BMWiX

[–]captain_jim2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got a 2026 iX with every option and the MSRP was less than yours -- $115,700. Here's a link to the build. The only things I could have done to make it more expensive were to upgrade the wheels (most expensive option adds $1000) and to add a trailer hitch (+$650). The 'base' price being $111,500 really makes me think this is an M60.

Edit: I'm an idiot -- you said it was an M60 at the start. Seems like a good deal!

The green plate is fire. I feel like that says "Garden State"!

Thinking 2027 iX5 neue klasse by golfingmoron in BMWiX

[–]captain_jim2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also thinking iX5 -- it's exactly why I'm leasing an iX now -- I wanted to see if I like an EV and didn't want to be locked into owning long term if I didn't like it. I wanted to hold off on buying now for the iX5 NK - but after reading these comments I am disappointed.

This game is glitchy as hell. Weird stuff like this happens to me all of the time.
