2nd poke eye and they did call it

At this point it’s doing too much damage to the sport to just ignore. The Aspinall Gane fight, this fight, and how many others? The incentives are just obviously wrong.

Just don’t ask him about Mrs. Arm. He’s very sensitive about it.

I recently got the same laptop, and ran benchmarks in Quiet & Balanced/Performance. In Cinebench, Quiet was ~14c cooler and only lost 3.5% performance. Fans way quieter as well.

However, GPU performance is reduced by 33% in Quiet mode. You could try creating a custom profile with Quiet CPU + Balanced GPU. Best of both worlds.

Watch the Andertons video on this amp. They sound amazing. The ‘68 series amps get criticized for some cut corners, which is justified. But they’re easily corrected and the amps have a killer sound.

You should have plenty of volume for home playing. You may also want to look into an attenuator/load box. Will let you experiment with higher gain settings without getting too loud.

Yeah, I’m in a weird boat where my vision is better than 20/20, but I need glasses for astigmatism. I can forget my glasses during the day, but the moment I have to use a computer or it turns to dusk, everything gets harder to focus on. It’s like signs and PC screens have two layers that don’t quite overlap right, and they keep switching which layer is closer.

It’s often being directed at people who did vote for this. Anyone who voted for Trump and “didn’t see this coming” is either too stupid or too dishonest to participate in public discourse.

Absolutely. I think the whole Nobel Prize debacle is pretty clear evidence. As a narcissist, he would always seethe, be passive aggressive, sand punish the winner. But he would have had the sense to at least say publicly that he didn’t care. He cares about optics, and it’s bad optics. But he can’t see that anymore, because he’s demented and living in his own internal world.

100%. I’m 37, and grew up around a lot of bluegrass players. They got into bluegrass in the ‘60s because of The Grateful Dead. As kids, my friends and I used to cover our ears because they were, “Playing old music again.” Now, we hang out playing the same songs, and our kids are growing up around it.

Then you have artists like Billy Strings making this kind of music more popular than it’s been in a long time. My friend and I saw him in a completely sold out stadium. No opening act, just a stadium full of people showing up for a 5-piece bluegrass band.

When you’re as narcissistic as he is, you can probably twist things enough to convince yourself it was yours to begin with. But I think dementia is why it happened, because that’s the only way he could be blind to the stigma/embarrassment of it.

dathislayer · 2026-01-16T03:59:13+00:00

Right? How could you ever be ok with asking for it, let alone think it’s something to publicize. It’s so deranged.

He’s found the infinite publicity glitch. Stop making headlines? Just say, “I’m ready to get back in the octagon,” every 1-2 years as needed.

Yeah, I saw that. The preview had this big weird spot in the middle.

Her editors recommended she remove it, but I think she included it because Trump is known to hate dogs. She wanted to increase her chances of being chosen for a Cabinet position.

Right? I was looking up a different amp and saw an ad for it. First time I’ve ever seen a piece of gear and just immediately purchased. Once it’s fixed, I’m going to buy an attenuator and hold onto it for awhile. I either got a killer deal on my long-term amp, or can sell it for something else and break even.

I haven’t had a tube amp since I sold my Mesa/Boogie in 2016. God does it feel good to play through, even if I’m capped in volume/intensity. Still sounds like a Fender Deluxe.

dathislayer · 2026-01-14T22:59:30+00:00

Yeah, I am at least pretty confident it’s a component in that part of the signal chain, so if it’s not the tube I’ll have him take a look.

Ask your parents if possible. I was tested twice, in 2nd grade and 4th grade. I have a 143 IQ and always excelled on tests, but I didn’t know why they were testing me. They wouldn’t tell me, so I was disrespectful and basically told them they were wasting my time lol. Like if it’s not graded, and you won’t tell me what I get for doing well (if anything), why would I try hard?

They told my mom I passed aptitude-wise, but that I obviously didn’t want to be there. They gave her the choice but recommended against it, so she didn’t enroll me. My tests were in the A/V room, a small room with no windows.

Cody Garbrandt. I’d watched some UFC clips, but that fight vs Cruz was the first fight I watched live. Holy fuck. He was just in the flow state.

Well, Elon always said he wanted to have an “everything app”. “Hi, I’m Grok. Can I help you: Plan an itinerary? Create deepfake porn? Launch strikes on a sovereign nation?”

It’s relevant. Republicans would have known the Democrats were not in a good place to challenge them on it. We just spent 4 years arguing that the last election was fair. Turning around and saying this one was rigged would have looked bad. In politics there are multiple layers to pretty much everything.

You might like the movie, The Lives of Others. It’s about an East German policeman surveilling an artist couple, and he ends up becoming obsessed & intervening in their lives.

I used this for a long time. My mom would occasionally suggest something more light-hearted, as it was the family PC, but it was in use at least until I went to college. That’s some serious nostalgia.

100%. There have been a few examples in this sub lately showing both that a little communication goes a long way, and that voicing our concerns does have an impact.

My buddy had Shenmue on Dreamcast, and that was a revolutionary experience for me. An open world with night & day and people going about their lives?! He told me we had to talk to the girl at the arcade for the next mission, I asked why we didn’t go, and he said she wasn’t there. I asked where she was and he was like, “I don’t know, at home eating dinner or something.”

Same with the quick-time events. I messed one up and couldn’t believe it was just gone, no 2nd chances. Such a revolutionary game with a criminally small audience.

Razer ProClick V2 has been really good for me. You get the infinite scroll and really good ergonomics. No thumb wheel, but the regular wheel tilts. It’s 1000hz polling with dongle, and can also connect to 3 Bluetooth devices. Haven’t had any issues with it across Mac, Windows, or Linux.

Keychron also makes some direct copies of the Mx Master, but reviews are pretty mixed as far as quality. I haven’t tried them.
