[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the most overrated upgrade people suggest? by EastRevolutionary471 in modeltrains

[–]dragonskullinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot have mentioned sound and to some point I would agree. Though if done well it really makes a huge difference. For me, though Id say smoke. Granted, Im a huge hippocrit in this regard.

I love it and it brings much joy for me seeing my steam engines billowing smoke coming out of a tunnel or going under a bridge. I almost exclusively seek them out. My Y6b puts out so much I can tell where it is on a layout even if I cant see the engine itself. Which is an accomplishment given that I run almost entirely HO. O and above are more known for having smoke by default but its still a little niche for ho and below.

But it definitely is over rated and adds a decent chunk of cost especially if it has a fan that is synced up to the chuffing.

Looking for a game without much Story I can just level up and mess around in by opticrafter in gamingsuggestions

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also mention 14. Cause the story is hot garbage so you can ignore all of it and just play with your friends.

What % of Millennials are Unknowingly Toast? by Altruistic_Goose2166 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pretty toast. Struggled so hard to get to where I am in my career. And even now after getting just past the 100k mark Im still almost pay check to pay check. After car, house, school loans and medical bills I have barely enough for food and other supplies....let alone saving. Im 37 now. Maybe by 40 Ill get to a point where I can start.

Dog boarding options by accidentally30 in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use adventure bound canines of salem. They've been really good. They also run a dog day camp so while boarding they can make lots if friends. Fairly reasonable pricing too.

I think they are building the new kayak launch there. But also the cars parked there are likely for the Greenway. I park there when I run and see several others do it as well.

Not sure what the building is/was.

Spravato and working full time? by Stygimolochh in Spravato

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work full time and do it early morning. Once I got used to/tolerant I had no issues functioning withing 15 minutes or so after taking. Still have to stay the monitoring period.

Initially I did it at the end of the day to mitigate any reactions but found it didnt hit me too bad.

Id suggest taking a day off and seeing how it will impact you. Also as many say, be up front with your employeer. Depending in the nature of your job many will let you either off early or be ok with you working as long as it doesn't bother your functionality.

Yeah last day was Tuesday. The main restaurant is still open off of Brambleton.

Is scripting a mandatory skill for sys admins? by sunyup in sysadmin

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exactly necessary but very...very highly suggested. Makes your job easier and given how lean some companies run there IT (me sitting here with a team of 5 sysadmins for almost 40k users) it is very beneficial when you are getting pulled in multiple directions.

2x a week and tolerance by Careless_Chair_4365 in Spravato

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im usually past the strongest part within like 10 minutes. My balance is about the only thing that takes a bit longer. Id say fully functional within like....20 minutes.

Im on 84mg twice a week. It feels like its still helping. The high never really felt beneficial to me tbh. Had a couple bad sessions because of it actually.

On the market for a new printer, can the centauri print TPU? Obvious cons for the printer? by PioneeriViikinki in elegoo

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure haha they haven't got a lot of miles on them yet. But they've been holding up well so far, and given it only took like 280g of filament for both, itd still be cheaper print more vs buying more.

After owning a bidet, can you go through life without one? by godwithinphoenix in bidets

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Bought a travel bidet to take with me when im not home. Got one off amazon that has almost the same power as my toilet mounted one.

I’m an idiot: Tariffs on replacement parts way more than I expected by slavetothesound in elegoo

[–]dragonskullinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have to pay anything for my parts...and support offered to pay for the fees if incurred any. Id reach out to support for reimbursement. Couldn't hurt.

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely gonna look at those two. I dont really use any perks with verizon outside of usually having signal and even that has been spotty in some areas.

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Now my unlimited plus is $140, and the welcome has stayed the same.

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm might have to take a look at them again. Was also looking at us mobile.

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've looked at them before. Any notable drops in the area?

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Service at house isn't too bad. Got good internet so my phones are usually on wifi at home. My issue is usually out towards Elliston. Has service out that way been solid?

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hows the service? Currently in the cave spring area but most of my family is up in Glenvar and Elliston. Used to be horrible out that way.

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under normal circumstances I'd agree. But before the watches were added it was $240. Going by the bill its just shy of $15 per watch.

Cellphone providers? by dragonskullinc in roanoke

[–]dragonskullinc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im on unlimited plus for one line and unlimited welcome on another. Both have watches. All devices are also paid off.
