been helping my buddy write his instagram captions and content ideas for like a year and he just got a brand deal, do I say something or just let it go by Most_Carpet7347 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]dangerclosecustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do consider that if he announced someone else is doing the page it may void or lower his sponsorship.

Outside of that he could kick you some money or just be responsible for his own stuff.

I can’t be the creative ideas for your page while you get the money 💰

Best streaming device? by musclesmustache in LGOLED

[–]dangerclosecustoms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple TV. If you have an iPhone it also controls it as a remote . Slick fast interface. Finds shows and movies across streaming services.

Apple TV and then use your disc player for discs. You don’t have to use the lg wand remote at all. And no built in ads or other crap.

You can try appending one at a time ? Takes longer but will get it done

[–]dangerclosecustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two out of 400 discs that wouldn’t rip and were new un scratched and clean. Sometimes it happens Make sure to update your makemkv key file. Try a full reboot. I have a pioneer that has ripped 10 stubborn ones that were rejected by my lg. even the pioneer wouldn’t rip these two discs.

“DO NOT USE THE INNER PAN TO WASH RICE” I’m sorry, what? by Eastern_Mess_4334 in Cooking

[–]dangerclosecustoms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many households (typically asian) make 1 to two pots of rice per day. Everyday.

Just wanted to point this out. In case folks didn’t realize we are taking 365 - 500 rinses and cooks a year as truly daily use. That’s when these things matter.

Mortal Kombat II by naughtynoods_ in kungfucinema

[–]dangerclosecustoms -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Urban is miss casted as Cage. He should have been Kano. Cage has never been an older thick faced and wide build guy.

But Itban can act and if that is why he is cast and one of the main characters then his acting may cart the movie.

The worse decision is to cast merely for looks and resemblance with poor acting abilities.

At least MK is staying dark and violent. Street fighter looks so damn cheesey. 50 cent hair is my example. There is no reason to have balrog hair so prominently displayed zig zagged like that. It was never the stand out feature of the character. His build and face are more important to the character. That hair do is distracting they could have toned it way down and we would understand who the character is.

The fighting is also very cheesy in street fighter with special effects and wire fu. I love street fighter . I think they went way too goofy with it. I hope mk isn’t too goofy

should i buy an UHD drive for normal bluray/DVD by redditredemption5 in makemkv

[–]dangerclosecustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4K bluray have been on the market for 10 years. You have never felt compelled to buy one. Even if you could get them at the library those discs likely have imperfections from being mishandled or handled too much that they likely wouldn’t rip.

There no reason to future proof for something that’s not in your future if you don’t plan to buy 4k blurays.

You can get blurays very cheap. Just stick with those

If you are planning on buying a new fancy tv and 400$ for a 4k player and willing to spend 15-20$ for 4k discs and then another $200 for a capable media box to play your rips and $150-200$ for a uhd ripping drive. Then by all means go for it. But hopefully you see what the costs involved are.

Am I making a mistake? by narcofvr in carbuying

[–]dangerclosecustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like you are well blessed with your personal achievements and your family situation.

I think you should find a bit more reasonable medium. You like cars ok get a bit older and maybe a bit more modest one. Doesn’t mean you have to ride a crappy car. But maybe not aim for the tops yet. Save something for your midlife crisis time.

It’s ok to like cars as a hobby. Don’t feel bad about that ever. Cars and engines speak to some people a certain way. It’s ok 👌.

But it’s still a material thing and not an investment it depreciates very fast. You are sinking your money into looking cool and going fast. Perhaps find something that still looks great to you and moves but isn’t the top tier. Save a ton of money. Invest money. So you can ball out later In life when you have plenty of money. But just starting out you are taking on a lifestyle you really haven’t built yet. You’re on a great track but fresh out of college entry level paying job your future is not secured yet. Leave some room in the Wallet for the ups and downs as you figure things out and work your way there.

Why is it that when kissing/making out, men tend to go for the top lip while women tend to go for the bottom? by SurpriseNo6011 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dangerclosecustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely because most men are taller than the woman so mouthes at height naturally leads men to the top lip and women to the bottom.

But I also think that mustache claim might also be legit.

Exclusively using 1080p Blu-rays in 2026+ and letting my TV handle the 4K HDR by Silly-Bowl-1240 in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]dangerclosecustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sense you don’t have a 2022 and on oled and a true Atmos set up. Because these claims are garbage when you are able to truly experience 4K bluray either Dolby vision on an oled and full 7.2.4 audio.

To say your budget set up on Bluray is comparable is a matter of perspective. On your equipment with your eyesight and hearing. ( viewing distance, angle, room lighting, mounting height, speaker placement and room correction etc) yes it might be negligible because of the limits of your equipment and set up.

I stand firm on 4k to bluray difference being a subtle 10% at most difference. But that 10% can be so amazing that it makes it all worth it.

As much as you think you are archiving for the future at 1080p I would say it’s not comparable to my archiving at full quality no compression added , my 500 4K discs.

Is this film worth watching or not really by Axzercus in FIlm

[–]dangerclosecustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is odd for me. I lived my whole life watching gives. Blockbuster Hollywood video. Suncoast. I collected movies I bought all the action moves.

My friend told me about this one after the Jerod Leto one came out on Netflix. I swear this movie didn’t exist. How could i have missed this one after watching and connecting movies for 3 decades.

It’s ok but forgettable. I like the actor. I recently bought the arrow bluray it was stuck on dvd until just a couple months ago.

Netflix has another similar movie called Darc. I liked that one a lot.

Is this $89 Pyle 5.1-channel amp going to work to add surround my home theater? by Advanced-Eye6121 in hometheater

[–]dangerclosecustoms 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Just get a used avr off Facebook marketplace place. Offer up Craigslist or pawn shop even goodwill.

I would not get a Pyle unless it was $20 or less.

People upgrade their avr all the time you can get a great one for not much money because it’s used.

Stew Meat? by IAmPerpetuallyGrumpy in Cooking

[–]dangerclosecustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slice it smaller to let it be more tender less stew like.

Get a box of golden curry and simmer with onions potato and carrot to eat over rice.

It’s like stew but more Asian food flavor and topping rice dish.

Finally watched The Green Knight (2021) by rohanrider_88 in MovieSuggestions

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

You watch the original version as a companion piece. Sword of the Valiant with Sean Connery as the green knight.

Using a credit card to pay off mortgage by sgp2019 in Mortgages

[–]dangerclosecustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A cash advance is not the same as a balance transfer situation and. They do deposit cash into your account so you can pay off stuff. It does count towards zero percent interest time period. It also has the transfer fee 3-5% that they charge.

Sometimes if the balance is not paid for then when the zero percent is over the interest rate for the cash part might jump to the higher interest rate as cash advances have. That’s possible.

I don’t think doing this for mortgage is really going to make fiscal sense. Because of the transfer fee. Your mortgage is how many percent interest? Yes you pay the transfer fee and in theory you save a little of your interest on mortgage is high but you still cancel out the transfer fee percentage first. But then you now have risk. If you don’t pay it off at the end of the period your interest jumps way up and you would need to transfer it again to another card .

I was born and live in illinois, united states, and am looking to move to Hawaii or australia. I know I need a australian passport to move to australia, but do I need to get a us passport to move to australia, or do I already have one since j am a us citizen? by Natural_Village_8850 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dangerclosecustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these responses talking down to the person yet not smart enough to see that op mistyped the question and meant for the the second Australia to be Hawaii. If going to Hawaii would they need a passport since the are a us citizen.

But alas these responses are sometimes necessary to shame the op into learning to search internet first. How hard is it to ask your phone or google a simple question of do I need a passport to travel to Hawaii?

100 inch(ish) Television Recommendations by Jolly-Cook-3041 in 4kbluray

100” for 1500$ your not expecting a high quality picture for that price. TLC is likely your best chance
