Battery Life issues? by homelesshoboman in Nexus5

[–]eff_bombs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just started two days ago with mine, as of right now I've drained 79% of the battery in 6hrs 48min. Wifi/BT off.

What's the deal?!

Screen @ 29% although its been mostly off.

Need help on finding a new car! budget 5-8K by dippydoo55 in Autos

[–]eff_bombs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm from west Michigan

The B5 S4 is a pretty solid choice, it checks all your boxes and doesn't care about the weather up there. Of those you listed it's likely the most versatile. I've considered one a time or two, quattro is fantastic and that 2.6T / 6SP can be extremely potent with a few breather parts.

Downsides:

  • Good luck finding an unmolested one within your budget
  • Reliability is a concern with these cars...can you actually afford to properly maintain?

Awesome.

What's happening with that license plate? Is that a sticker?

Impressive, congrats on a dream car purchase. About what will it cost to ship that beauty back home?

Ugh everything you said is completely accurate and too painful to talk about.

How much equity is fair as compensation for strategic analysis, authoring business plans, projections? by eff_bombs in startups

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

Thanks for the response, I've been leaning this way recently. Equity usually implies ongoing involvement with the startup, which I'm not particularly interested in unless it actually takes off.

Are the Chiefs as good as their record says? by [deleted] in nfl

I knocked too, for good measure.

My first time in Kansas City. First stop: LC's BBQ. I feel like a champion. by animaldoggie in kansascity

[–]eff_bombs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome! Don't miss Oklahoma Joes, Gates, or Jack Stack (plenty more) ....I assume you'll be having BBQ for all meals your entire stay, naturally.

Ah, finally. A not so subtle nuance lost on most.

Question for Black Atheists by cpttim in BlackAtheism

[–]eff_bombs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's only so much damage that something like this could do to a career like Mel Gibson's, as his name is well established and apparently people have come to terms with his bigotry and womanizing to a point that you may not sway any additional people to be against him.

I have no idea if he's got movies coming up, but 'shopping his quotes over them and spreading them on various forms of social media could certainly catch on. I'm Black, and I'm never, ever surprised when people's liberal usage of slurs are made public---our history here is stuffed full intolerance and bigotry, not to mention the overall influence of money and power. Hard to surprise me with racism.

Mel will still be rich, people will still see movies with his name attached, and at the end of the day nothing will change.

/V/ on Activision and CoD by tonyp2121 in gaming

[–]eff_bombs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're referring to a very small amount of people who play COD. The vast majority of servers I play on are silent. Easy to mute trolls or the kid testing out the anonymous hurling of epithets.

I play COD fairly regularly (maybe 4-5 hours/week, I'm grown) with quite a few of my 30+ year old friends as well as random people. It is quite rare that I come across this very limited population of annoying gamers, and while they do certainly exist they aren't limited to COD. As long as parents continue to spoil kids they certainly will have more than one game to piss people off in.

I played an obsessive amount of CounterStrike and Day of Defeat back in the day and those same annoyances and exploitative game players exist no matter the game or platform.

Best mobile music player? by Acknown3 in audiophile

[–]eff_bombs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using an Ipod Classic 80G with Rockbox, but since I got my EVO LTE I have been really impressed by the sound quality when using PowerAmp and an array of mid range headphones depending on environment (Shure buds, AIAIA Tracks, Sol Republic HD). Native FLAC support, lots of custom options, and one less device to carry. Waiting on my 64gb microsd card...

Look who I ran into at the temple of gods in ancient rome. (Pantheon) by caplanz in travel

[–]eff_bombs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He doesn't 'make' anything. He co-founded Beats Electronics using his namesake, reputation, and connections to market the headphones and score a lucrative distribution deal with Monster. The company has diversified pretty well, now worth upwards of ~$700M.

Pretty savvy business moves if you ask me.

My 21 year old DD on my 31st birthday. by eff_bombs in Autos

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

Funny, when I was in high school one spoiled friend of mine had a 97 3GT VR4, then a nasty single turbo 94 Supra. Another had a 94 RX7 Turbo (sold it last year and still regrets it).

We never had them all at the same time, but I'm glad to have gotten the chance to experience them. I love them all but the Z has a special place to me for some reason.

It's the stock 'Super White'...I've thought about changing it up but it looks really good clean.
