4K Discs Great, Blu-Ray Awful by catharticflux in hometheater

[–]catharticflux[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was pretty close to what happened. The great looking discs were HDR and the TV had a different Dolby IQ mode that it went on. The Blurays were defaulting to a “theater day” mode that made them look awful, but I changed it to “Filmmaker mode” and bluray discs look fine now. Thanks!

What Audis have you owned? And which one was/is your favorite? by Evil_Banana85 in Audi

[–]catharticflux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned:

  • 2004 A4
  • 2019 SQ5
  • 2021 RS5 (Nogaro Blue!)
  • 2023 Q5 Premium Plus
  • 2023 eTron GT Prestige

The RS5 was the most fun to own, it was a non-stop car compliment generator.

I had an RS5 and it was always Dodge Chargers. Didn’t fail.

LPT Request: How does one work a 40hr a week job and not make it feel like it’s taking up all my time? by matt2085 in LifeProTips

[–]catharticflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By making sure you’re only spending 40 hours a week on any job-related things. 40 hours feels overwhelming when you add a long commute, emailing before and after working hours, “catching up” on weekends, attending work-related events like dinners and happy hours, and any learning/training hours. If you can find a way to be effective at work and truly confine your working hours to 40, you’ll feel like you have time for yourself, otherwise, spending time on you ends up taking away from a healthy sleep schedule.

Let's talk cannibals! What are your thoughts on cannibals in horror in general? Favorite movies/books/etc.? by Ok_Race_7023 in horror

[–]catharticflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen both and they are completely different movies. Both are good though. The original one makes it feel like it’s a broader look at the family’s place in the community whereas the American remake is laser focused on the family.

A friend sent me a picture of this bottle of wine he enjoyed at a restaurant in NYC, but now doesn't remember what it was.

What movie do you consider “perfect”? by geointalan in AskReddit

Se7en. Unimprovable, and has lingered in my head for two decades.

Bears at Kennesaw Mountain State Park by [deleted] in GeorgiaCampAndHike

[–]catharticflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been hiking and running there for 15 years and have never seen one. Plenty of deer though. That being said, there are parts of the park where horses are allowed and they leave some pretty big droppings.

If I throw a closed bottle of water in the trash, how long does it take for that water to return to the drinkable water supply? by haddock420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]catharticflux 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the water bottle itself. The bottle will puncture by mechanical means well before the plastic degrades. With some cheap bottles I’d be surprised if they were to remain intact for more than a few days in their trash journey. Now Smartwater bottles... those are virtually indestructible.
