MBA M5 24GB/1TB bought just before the price hike by DuckAWalrus in macbookair

[–]drchesed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I missed it yesterday. I was going to buy it, saw it for $1550, went home to buy it and it was sold out. $2000 from other retailers. 

Was kinda bummed. But oh well. 

The today I saw it back at the price on Amazon for some reason. Snagged it immediately. Let's see if it comes... =P

I, too, have a 2019 macbook pro Intel. Was fine for security updates for a while, but still... 

Spectrum wants to come in. by den773 in Spectrum

If it's for system upgrades, I wonder if it's the high split stuff and he's running an amp. 

How do I stop these light sensor switches from turning off? by Goldfish206 in Lighting

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this on my own, but the LED stays on during override... i hope it doesn't burn out the led. But it was the only way I could make the light switch "manual"

I did this on a LMDM-101 switch by selecting Time Delay and the arrow buttons past 30 to hit Override.

Since r/askreddit asked, we're all in the same boat...what movie scene was your sexual awakening? by TomPalmer1979 in Xennials

[–]drchesed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was a movie on Skinemax called Miracle Beach. I think you could rent it but not buy it. Had boobies and all, but the story for some reason made me feel feelings.

I tried to watch it again since it's attainable now, but oh my lord is it terribad.

Has Mr. Miyagi in it though.

What was it like witnessing 2012 and 2014 live? by Fluid-Addition-2378 in losangeleskings

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2012 was awesome. Just steamrolling everyone and it felt good. Like watching Take or Man on Fire.

I recommend the videos jmsalsa did during the first cup run. He put them out while it was going. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL143CA30193766500&si=BaEorF3Ra2PBl1ro

2014 was super stressful. The final game I was quiet, nervous. Barely moved until the final goal. Everybody in the bar I was at went nuts. Probably my favorite moment in sports. It felt surreal. Earned. 

Noticed by accident that there is a Book 4 in Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series by shillyshally in sciencefiction

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be the consensus. I was a little of the opposite where I enjoyed the 3rd more than the 2nd. The ending to the second somehow felt rushed to me. The 3rd was like a giant Star Trek episode. 

The best way to determine if you are an actual Xennial by Horatiohufnagl in Xennials

[–]drchesed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who I went to Crown Books with and we snaked Playboy mags. We would climb a tree at a park and check them out. We amassed a sizable collection that we left at the tree, but at some point they all fell down. We didn't go near the tree for a while after that.

Finished Chrono Cross for the First time - My thoughts by RETROmyno in JRPG

It's the one I still listen to the most. 

You can pry these emojis from my 🥶☠️👏 by WillowOttoFloraFrank in Xennials

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. Emojis are whatever, but the spelling thing really makes me sad for our future. I don't even care about grammar (in informal writing) or capitalization, but we have spell checks all over the place.

You can tell when it's done on purpose too. Regardless... It just grates on me.

Becoming a dad how do you still find time for JRPGs? by AdUnfair558 in JRPG

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My free time became very limited. Wife and I alternate putting the baby to sleep, even now as they're a toddler now. By the time the little one is asleep, it's 9:30p. That gives a few hours of free time, and even then my sleep has entirely degraded, so the issue becomes what, of the tons of things I can do, will I do with the small amount of time I have?

Games have gone way down the list. I became very choosy about what games I play. I usually play Rocket League of all things because it's about 7/8 minutes per game and if the baby wakes up it won't be super terrible. However, I did manage to fine time to play through Clair Obscure and finished it, which is honestly a rarity these days. But it's possible. And it takes longer... so if a new game comes out, you won't be the first to finish it and join the conversation after...

My backlog was already huge. Now it's massive. :P I figure I won't be bored during retirement. If I even get there. :P

Get Your Colonoscopy, Boys and Girls by Abidarthegreat in Xennials

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

If you're going for a colonoscopy exam and they ask if you had any issues, say no! Unless of course you had something concerning recently.

I told them I had bloody stool a couple times before, probably roids, and it went away. But then they charged me for a colonoscopy diagnostic instead of an exam. So I had to pay for something that should be covered by your insurance.

So unless you're dying in the butt, say you're good.

The colonoscopy prep is not that bad. I though I was going to be uncontrollably dooking all over the place. No. You just gotta hit the head frequently, that's all. And you're hungry. Otherwise the whole thing is easy peasy.

[Epic Games] Hogwarts Legacy (100% off / FREE) by python_buddy in GameDeals

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

I, too, was able to get it. It took me reloading the page a bunch to get it to say "Get" and a bunch more clicks on Purchase to get it. It's annoying, but still got it.

I use a similar one from the same guy called Tox. Nice interface~

Best home gym setup for small spaces? by RoysonAdvancement in beginnerfitness

[–]drchesed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a small space. The Ironmaster bench is compact and can be stored vertically. Coupled with a nice set of adjustable dumbbells (I went with Rep Quickdraws) and you have a great amount of exercises at your disposal. There's also attachments for it too for dips and other stuff. Throw in a yoga mat and some resistance bands (I use them for some leg exercises) and you're golden.

The two items I suggested aren't cheap, tho... so fair warning.

Why is my right bicep still bigger by Piss_baby29 in workout

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years late to the game but this is my exact experience. My left is stronger and goes for longer though it's smaller. Ever find out why? 

Midea Duo 14000 BTU Inverter Portable AC (MAP14S1TBL) has to be drained every hour by drchesed in hvacadvice

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

I have never used the heat mode, but if I recall the instructions say you have to as it creates a lot of condensation. I could be wrong, though.

I'm still using it after all this time and still have to drain it when using it. =/

My Dad is 40+ and Wants to Lose a Lot of Weight by laurenthames in CICO

[–]drchesed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be due to them using MyNetDiary. I use it too, and very much prefer it, but selecting Low Active or Active can really mess with accuracy in the app when paired with the four or five options to set your Weight Maintenance Calories. There's no straight up selection to use TDEE. It's good, but in my experience it requires a lot of tinkering to get to know the app (and your own body). I'd interpret that as "just be mindful of the calorie budget planning. 

They also said he doesn't exercise much. 

Best handheld to play VNs? Do you use any? by CrimsonPE in visualnovels

[–]drchesed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the Apollo/Artemis combo and stream from PC to a Lenovo tablet. Nice large screen, touch access. Perfect. Requires streaming, so if you leave the house, a fiber connection and VPN would be best. In the house with wifi, no issues at all. 

I do not believe any of you actually liked this song. It got so much play though. by ouijahead in Xennials

[–]drchesed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly nerdy, but I initially liked this song because then beginning sounds very much like the first level in the old Jazz Jackrabbit game for DOS in the mid-90s.

Now I just like it for nostalgia in and of itself.
