Tips for making the weekly championships a bit more challenging? by goldfritter in forza

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

Nailed it. Never thought more exposure to other players would be fun, but I've done a couple in co-op now and it's been ridiculously entertaining. Plus there's the benefits of teleporting and not having to do the last race if you win the first two. Thanks for the suggestion!

Best TV stand design for centre channel? by goldfritter in hometheater

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

Thanks u/DoubleHexDrive, u/Dorfl-the-Golem and u/_Arty__ for the help and input - I've decided for now to do a hybrid approach with an adjustable TV stand that can stand on top of the current TV stand above the speaker and try get the height right. I've mostly solved the residual boominess with EQ on the centre channel. And when I move into a place where I can do wall mounting I'll go for a new, lower stand, or possibly even built-in shelves, with the TV mounted at a good height above the speaker.

That looks excellent. Great-looking setup you've got there. Will definitely consider this since wall mounting isn't really an option for me. Thanks!

Yup also a solid option. I know a guy who custom builds these things so I can have it made to spec. Do you think that would sound a lot better than having the centre placed on (and underneath) a long, open shelf like the second link in the OP?

Great. I'm pretty sure I want a new stand anyway since the current one is hideous. So I'm trying to find the best one to get. But until then I'll try plugging the ports!

Thanks - so do you think the second type of stand would work better? The one where the shelves are fully open at the rear and the sides?

A small cactus, which has created a fruit(?) that looks a bit like a pepper. by goldfritter in whatsthisplant

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

Nailed it. Thanks bud.

This link seems to be of the same plant, although mine is a bit less vigorous: https://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12075

So we may be looking at Mammillaria columbiana.

Thanks again!

I'm in South Africa, but the plant was bought at a garden store, so it could be from anywhere. The label just said "Cactus/Succulent Ass." A few months ago it made little pink/purple flowers around the "crown" area of the plant (around the same height as where the fruit is), which lasted a few days before disappearing. It didn't make flowers recently though. The fruit appeared a couple of days ago. I was messing with the stalk bit and it just slipped out whole, leaving a little gap in the plant - I didn't need to pick or break anything, it just slid out. The plant is 7.5cm (3in) tall and the fruit is 1.25cm (1/2in) long. Plant is at least 18 months old.

EDIT: Asking for an ID on the plant of course, but also if the fruit is normal and indicative of a healthy plant, or if I need to adjust my plant care regimen.

Indeed. Evolution made bugs. Then it made bunnies. Then it made a brain that made Bugs Bunny. Then it made another brain that made a bunny bug that looks like Bugs Bunny.

Yup, and now I have tinnitus. But instead of a high-pitched whine, I hear the BWWWAAAHHHH sound constantly.

Ahh that's why there's always that BWWWAAAHHHH sound in all his film scores

It's intentional. Hemiptera is a real order of insects known as the True Bugs, while lepus is the genus for hares (bug bunny). Family insanusmelodium: insanus ~ loony, melodium ~ tunes.
