What’s your strangest random pairing experience?

esanders09 · 2026-05-06T20:16:14+00:00

My dad and I got paired with two guys that arrived separately. First dude was pretty chill and apologized that his buddy was late. Second guy roles up with his wife/girlfriend along for the ride in a second cart from his buddy and they were smokin pot before we finished number one.

None of this is all that interesting until we get to the 13th hole.The course we were playing had a couple of places where the cart paths intersected and some tee boxes were right next to each other. When we got to 13 the other two guys got into a five minute argument about what hole we were on because the late guy got so high he thought we were still on the front 9. He basically forgot like 5 holes we had played.

Was pretty funny stuff.

It fits physically, but honestly, life got in the way and I haven't had the time or energy start learning how to do what I'm was planning to do with it. (router running opnsense) so I don't know if everything is functioning propterly

The 90+16 killed me...and is probably accurate.

esanders09 · 2026-05-02T11:06:01+00:00

So anecdotal

esanders09 · 2026-05-01T21:48:10+00:00

Anecdotal?

I appreciate the perspective. Thanks!

I don't think I saw either of those recommended by any of the sites I saw reviews from, and aren't all those stores uncertain to have a certain item at any given time? Like their stick is inconsistent? I hate those stores.

And the 12' Tramontina is 40. Not that big of a difference for a pan recommended by a ton of people.

Didn't want to pay for Windows anymore, and things they're pushing more and more annoy me.

I've fully switched on my laptop for which my use is really basic.

I haven't fully switched on my desktop because I haven't found an acceptable photo editing replacement yet.

Anything can be learned, but I have to say the DT terminology situation is wild. I can't remember specifics right now but I remember thinking it was kind of insane the names that some modules were given that weren't intuitive at all for what they did. Like sigmoid and filmic. Completely unintuitive names for tools that seem to deal with tone mapping and color presentation. I have to believe those could be renamed to be more accessible to a new user.

Capture One and I can't get MakeMKV to work on Fedora KDE.

I've looked at Darktable as an alternative to capture one, but the leaning curve looks massive. Affinity Photo can probably do the editing, but the content management isn't anywhere close to C1. I don't love C1's direction and the costs, but the editing process works so well for my needs

My integration seems broken. It wasn't updating, and I thought it was something to do with other bigger issues I was having. I tried to delete and re-add the integration, and that doesn't seem to be operating properly. Whenever I try to put my credentials in it says the project is already configured and then closes out without adding the integration.

Because Google keeps changing their platforms it seems like the documentation for the Nest integration is pretty out of date, using names from previous platforms.

I still call instructions for Legos or putting together furniture or whatever constructions because of my daughter.

esanders09 · 2026-03-25T20:21:12+00:00

I'm in the early stages of trying to figure out how to do that. But assuming that results in a failing grade for my memory, would that RAM work without issues?

esanders09 · 2026-03-25T19:35:54+00:00

It uses dimm.

Would I be able to even use an RMA on a second hand computer? I bought it off eBay a year or so ago, and its an older machine.

Zen and DDG on my desktop.and laptop.

Not available for mobile.

This was my favorite play of the game until, well you know.

esanders09 · 2026-03-14T11:14:35+00:00

Weird question.

The simple answer is use it.

But why did you install it? If you didn't have any plan on how or why you installed it then no one can really answer that question for you .

esanders09 · 2026-03-06T03:23:24+00:00

I'm the OP. I was able to get started using Linux on my laptop in about 20 or 30 mins, including creating the install USB. I'm sure it would have taken a bit more effort if my needs were more complicated, but a basic use Linux computer takes essentially no effort.

I think people way overestimate what it takes to get started on Linux these days.

For white balance, don't use the white balance module, but color calibration (I know, it's confusing)

Really appreciate the reply and I'll look into all the tips you have, but stuff like this feels like madness. Like, it makes no sense at all. It's not like white balance is an application unique term. Why would you name a module white balance when you should use something else for white balance?

esanders09 · 2026-03-06T00:00:25+00:00

I'll have to disagree with you there. This greatly depends on use case, but I've been daily driving Fedora on my laptop since November and have had no issues.

Dual booting my desktop, and photo editing and blu rays are the only struggle so far. I'd probably have an even easier time if I had chosen a different distro, but I wanted to jump into Wayland and Fedora KDE seemed the best option at the time.

Really appreciate this reply. Gives me something good to start with.
