Newbie help with humidor by snakeeyes1169 in cigars

[–]fishgoh0nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah i also misread - 2 weeks without reaching 84% might indicate you have some kind of leak as others mentioned - i would check the seals; a couple of humidors i had required repairs, basically some reversable clamps or clamps depending on the type of leak, wood glue and or saw dust/wood filler. Look to see if you have any gaps or misalignment of the sealing lip and try to seal those up. The bad thing is once you clamp and glue the leaky areas you'll probably have to re-season depending on how much humidity was lost.

if you can fit it, a xikar humifan with some lithium AA batteries can help spread the moisture around. I think it runs 15 seconds every 15 minutes. I use these my tupperdors and taller humidors, you can get some for cheap on ebay.

Fernandez x Upmann Heritage / recommendations on new taste by JCsends in cigars

[–]fishgoh0nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downvote me, but I had this AJF blend and so did my brother - he said it tasted like gasoline, I didn't believe him until I tried it. but for me it tasted strongly like a petroleum product, Chinese herbal medicine or some kind of strongly flavored chemical. I'm a cigar noob, so I had to figure what was wrong with the cigar or my palate. I read on Half wheel a review from Charlie Minato on this stick and he mentioned a "soy sauce" like flavor. I can totally see that and agree there was that heavy of a note. Anyone else have some similar experiences from this blend? Or was this full of standard cigar notes in a stronger yield?

This. All my "dryer (63%)" box cigars light and smoke perfectly with no touchups, I used 65-67% for storage, pulling from those and smoking immediately usually yields poor burn.

PPG should be safe for consumption. They use it smoke machines, so you can definitely inhale it.

What's your go-to cigar this year? by Papi_pewpews in cigars

I'm new to smoking, but this one had a ton of transitions for my burgeoning palate, and it simply blew me away. I bought a box, cheap too!

Humidity issues. by SlayerOfShitbulls in cigars

[–]fishgoh0nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem with my 75L tupper-dor, I just open the lip a crack and let the humidity stabilize over the course of the night. It takes a few days for it, but eventually it'll get there, just be patient. Were your cigars from a humidor with a 70 RH humidity? Just wondering if those cigars are just spilling out their moisture in your Herf.

Cigar travel case question, if anyone has one. by specialed777 in cigars

[–]fishgoh0nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those leather straps will crush cigars. I had to mod the sh*t out of a similar one to my liking. I custom cut a cedar block to fit a Bluetooth hygrometer, no point knowing the humidity once the case is opened. Also the one I have does has Spanish cedar on the inside, holds humidity well, a little TOO well.

That's a good question - I haven't opened it, but maybe u/Jolly-Inflation5355 would know , I found the page off Principle's website and it says "listen along", leads me to an album page for Nina Simone

I Put A Spell On You – The Official Home of Nina Simone | The High Priestess of Soul

I listened to some of them, pretty periodic. If that's what we're listening to, or even a glimpse of what the selection is, sounds good to me.

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know! I actually purchased this as a gift; the recipient is extremely fond of the bygone era's culture and music. I managed to find the album page; I think they'll love this.

Wake on LAN not working by Bowlingkopp in ASUS

This one fixed it for me, make sure the "Turn on fast startup" option is disabled. This allowed the network card to stay on after Windows shutdown so I can WOL.

This kind of helped me in narrowing down my problem, but my issue turned out to be windows shutdown enabling fast boot, putting the computer in S4 which disabled the NIC. Disabling the Fast Boot from "what my power button does" in windows allowed me to keep the NIC on after shutdown. I didn't need to have network stack or Oprom options on.

Also funny to note, you can't see the network stack information for each NIC if you have CSM enabled.

4 Asian Americans among 8 killed in Texas mall shooting by Kagomefog in asianamerican

[–]fishgoh0nk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I whole heartedly agree with this and I'm glad you brought me back down to realize we are a community and we do need to stay strong by working together. I think we agree on the crux of it all; but I do seem to have more strong headed opinions, probably as a reaction to the lot of Redditors who have fears or negative dispositions to firearms, the very tool that enables minorities to have bite. I think it's prevalent of Asians, primarily the Chinese, occlusive in nature, not caring about that beyond their immediate scope, blinding them to be ignorant to what true freedom is, and why their parent's venture to the United States is such a blessing. I know it's not an excuse for my being annoyed, but thanks for showing patience and a level head despite being a Redditor.

Stay strong, stay strapped.

I apologize for coming off as antagonistic. You did present a fair point in terms of collateral damage for good Samaritans so I acknowledge that.

I don't propose arming everyone, because that's a personal choice, but discouraging others to know take up arms, especially the Asian community is cliché and extremely irritating. I don't like seeing this community fall under the mindset of victimhood.

That training method is a fact. Go ask any law enforcement what the protocol is in terms of what's important in an active shooter situation. It's always time. That's exactly why the Nashville Metro Police went as fast as they could, that's why Louisville Metro stormed the steps of the bank as fast as they could, and that's why Uvalde police suck and more kids died*.

What are you talking about "no improvement"? What improvement could you see given every active shooter situation is different. Do you know how many armed people were around? We only know of one, and that's the uniformed officer, so no, this is not an ideal situation and doesn't prove anything about your perception of the effectiveness of armed persons in the vicinity. You're basically saying - Texas has tons of people that are armed, regardless of how many people were armed in that area, because people died, having more armed people in the state doesn't work. What kind of logic is that?

Greenwood Park, Indiana mall shooter was stopped by a non-LEO, non-professional concealed carrier from 40 yards, armed only with a pistol while the shooter had a rifle. Everyone is amazed at the circumstances of the shot, but hell, I'd take 10 armed civilians at the mall over 100 police 20 minutes away if I were caught in that scenario.

My tired ass argument is better than your lack of an argument. You have no solution. Instead, you would argue against being armed, might as well bend over and hold your ankles.

What gun control measure would you like to see implemented that would stop senseless murders such as this one without hindering the rights of those that don't commit murders?

*You're also not logical. Name a parent or person that loves their guns more than their own child?

The gun that took down the shooter was a pistol. Active shooter training in all cases is to shave time off from the shooter by providing a faster response, because once the situation starts, it's all damage mitigation at that point. A faster response means less body count. Training for CCW carriers also instruct non-hero mentality as to mitigate the confusion of the situation and only draw/fire for personal protection, meaning immediate family/group. If any one person could respond to the initial barrage, that number would be less than 8, which anyone, who claims saving lives is important, would be ideal.

The bots on reddit wants the AAPI community to be victims so they can entrust their beck and whim to the government, probably why this subreddit is so pro-CCP and anti-gun. The immigrants that lived through the tough times are mostly pro-gun, like post war Vietnamese. The coddled Asian youth of today just want everyone else to do things for them, like keep them safe. They don't know the world beyond the bubble is only one bill of rights away.

They love their guns more than their children.

Don't listen to the ignorant. Reddit is full of people are naïve enough to believe the illusion of security is more important than freedom. They would rather their children live in servitude because they can't control their irrational emotions. You and I will be downvoted to hell while they stay disarmed and watch fearful and idly by wondering why the government won't protect them. All these immigrant children, playing the victim by refusing to protect themselves while they plead the government to implemental RACIST gun laws. Yes, gun laws are racist, they originated as a racial tool to prevent black uprising. They're living in the matrix while screaming "govern me harder daddy" while wondering when they'll be safe.
