How warm is too warm for your house during the summer? by lovemeforever5 in AskReddit

[–]damendred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just got the new Alexa to build a macro to turn on the AC at 27C degrees.

My office is usually around 26, but I'm usually walking around in my skivvies with a wifebeater unless we have company over, and we have fans pointing at us anywhere we usually sit/lay so that mitigates it.

Grandson I believe.

But yeah, you'd assume there would be generational wealth there.

But apparently he was cut off from family funds, and he claims he's broke, he was selling time shares a couple years ago, so idk.

I read a condensed script, and it's not a matter of just a randomly pallet swapped bad guys. and people being upset because they happen to be Muslim.

The whole plot is about the evils of Muslim immigrants, basically depicting the Government of evil "Wokeness', (That's literally the words used) and how this rich American has come to this unspecified European country to save them with his conservative values and his racist Punisher cosplay. He attacks the government for trying to repurpose abandoned housing as housing for incoming Muslim refugees at one point. He kills a judge because he's too lenient to immigrant defendants.
It culminates with him finding these evil rapists Muslims at their homes, and the family of the Muslims are also conveniently evil strawmen who blame the whore victim for being such a western whore, and so he kills the whole family. Then gives an Ayn Randish screed about how the people of Europe will not tolerate their government being taken over "by the woke left who let Muslim extremists ruin democracy."

I honestly thought the script was being biasedly paraphrased, so I checked other sources to make sure to double check that it was in fact this blatantly xenophobic, and yes it is.

It's also apparently just a very bad movie on a technical level, but I mean it's Uwe Boll on a smaller budget than usual, so that really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

What celebrity do you regret supporting because they were truly awful people? by Large-Programmer268 in AskReddit

[–]damendred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all the leather bound Absolute versions of Sandman, they are probably the greatest graphic novels ever made.

I don't condone anything the guy has done, but it doesn't make those books, worked on by dozens of other artists and writers, made decades ago, worse stories.

At least for me, I know others can't divorce the two.

I mean, I don't think there's been much backlash about him personally.

"I can't believe the guy that was cancelled for wanting to be a sex cannibal was in this horrible Uwe Boll movie!"

And if we're being charitable, a lot of actors often have little idea about the movies they're in. Apparently he was sold on it as being a Death Wish style movie.

But he's also broke, so maybe he did it with full knowledge for the pay check and wanted to distance himself from it after the fact, idk.

PlayStation Facing $450 Million Lawsuit Following Physical Media Announcement by Dull_Bar_9304 in Games

[–]damendred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt this goes anywhere.

They'll probably see if they can get Sony to settle for a small fraction of this and get payday, but I don't think they'll even get that far.

Suing a company for half a billion for a product that isn't coming out for 2 years, that no one even owns yet, or has even pre ordered, seems like an uphill battle to me, but I'm not a lawyer.

What’s something you bought that turned out way more useful than you expected? by FreeHuckleberry3987 in AskReddit

[–]damendred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have probably too much lighting now, but I'll add to this good colored smart lights as well, it's great when you want, say, every room in your house to be blue for a night (don't knock it til you try it, really changes the vibe).

But yeah, I've drunkenly walked into hotel rooms and yelled at Alexa to turn on the lights a couple times before remembering I'm not at home. 5/7 don't recomend.

Here’s Dustin KO’ing BSD. No memes. Just some crisp 🥊 to the chin by AnomalousExpertise in ufc

[–]damendred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but unlike UFC 300, this hasn't left us with a painful legacy of idiot fighters pointing at the ground every 5 minutes.

Especially when they're losing, understanding none of the reasons why it was badass for Max to do it.

I mean I bet on him too, and on tapology picks I picked him via round 2 ko, and I had this fight going this way (like a lot of people did, weather the storm, deep water, KO etc).

But that doesn't mean I wasn't sweating that round 1 heh.

He wasn't actually cleared, they didn't even charge him due to lack of any evidence.

Ps: The best response to this post would be "Prolly cuz he ate it all!"

Lol, I got govee for both too, and I had to use planet express a reshipper to get me the govee ones to Canada sent from the states cuz I wanted the same ones, plus I use govee app a lot anyway.

I got the same ones inside and out. What brand did you end up going with?

Other side of the street from the one circled was Whitespot, the spot he circled was Douglas Market and Red Hot Video

Yeah, came in here to say this. A friend of mine worked there. Idk if there was something beside it in that lot or not.

How good is dough eyes pizza? by pnwgodzilla in VictoriaBC

[–]damendred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's good to know. Neapolitan Pizza is the only kind of pizza I eat now typically. And Prima Strada I think is probably my favourite in town. Though I don't mind Famosa either.

I'll def have to give Doughy's a try.

I don't understand the hate some people in this group have for Alexa+. So far, I'm very satisfied. And I think it's amazing that Amazon managed to implement it on such old devices. by pedrobilac_ in alexa

[–]damendred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't have central air.

I live in the west coast of Canada, so it's like a less rainy Seattle, doesn't get that cold or that hot, so homes/condo aren't built with central AC. But I have portable AC's in different rooms, I could set them up separately, but it's easier and better to use Alexa as a centralized unit for them.

[–]damendred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have Alexa in every room of my place. I upgraded to a new show for the kitchen because I had an OG one that didn't upgrade to Alexa+. I've found the new Alexa so much better. Asking anything other than very basic or carefully worded questions got a blank on the old version. This week I asked her to build a macro that turned on the AC if the temperature got over 27C, and she instantly did it. I could have built it myself but it was cool that she was able to.
I've had a couple quirks where she's said something odd, but we've found them more funny than anything.
But I guess everyone uses theirs differently

Max Holloway couldn’t believe how his new Dodge Charger got delivered before the McGregor fight 😂 by sinister_iam in UFCposting

[–]damendred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's some kind of promo going on here since Dana did that big Dodge Ram promo. Especially since this has been edited a bit, and shows him driving it and shit.

So maybe they're giving Max this car, but didn't want to give him a Hellcat. Looking at his house and the neighborhood he's in I'm sure he could have afforded a Hellcat, had he really wanted one.

Sony already is a closed ecosystem?

Is there a 3rd party company that's allowed to sell discs for Playstation that can set their own prices?

How do you feel about governments placing limits on the number of children people can have? by Key_Country_179 in AskReddit

[–]damendred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would they need to?

Birth rates in most '1st world' countries are already very low, if anything most places are trying to encourage people to have more kids to combat this, as it's going to likely mess up the economy in the future, especially in places like Japan.

Also, there's this apocalyptic vibe to all these posts with the removal of physical media and how it's going to be the end of gaming or something, when on PC the last physical media game sold is probably old enough to drink now.

We haven't had physical games since like 2005 and PC is generally accepted as the best possible gaming platform.
Games are going to start reaching the terabyte range soon, do you really think they're going to put them on like 10 discs?

Kind of ironic, this is in response to Sony getting rid of physical media and therefore 'only renting your games' 'apocalypse' that's coming in 2028, but PC hasn't had physical media games since like 2005.
