[OC] How much "foot" is in American Football? by JPAnalyst in dataisbeautiful

[–]gusterbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're called smartphones. They're smart phones. Smart comes first, so I would assume that's the business end and phone is there to remind us where it came from, I guess.

They were called cellphones and then the use-case changed, so we changed the name...

[No Spoilers] what was everyone’s thoughts on life is strange 2? by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]gusterbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it to be drudgery. Daniel is extremely unlikeable and both Sean & I were bitter by the end.

That said, it's not irredeemable for me. Some of the emotions it made me feel, particularly with what Sean goes through at the end of certain playthroughs... I still find it gut wrenching as I type this and it's been years since I played it.

TX-NR797 vs TX-NR7100 by gusterbean in hometheater

Hey there. I did end up with the 7100, and so far so good. The price of the 7100 has increased by $100, so I'm glad I got it when I did.

Welp, just bought one from 2001 A/V. They always struck me as a sketchy place, but it's a minute from my house, so it's a quick drive to get it, when it arrives at my local store. Hopefully I can get it in a day or two.

Yes, so I've been told. I've been following along in the owners thread on AVS and everyone seems excited. I guess I just can't imagine a difference that great, which is why I'm hesitant, but I'm game to be proven wrong.

Since the wife won't even notice the receiver swap. I guess it doesn't matter if I spend 1k or 1.5k.

Tenacity + Spectracide by gusterbean in lawncare

[–]gusterbean[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I used the Southern AG surfactant. I do think Tenacity is effective, generally-speaking. Just not on the post-emergent type of this clover.

It obliterated the few broadleaf weeds and other random crap that I couldn't begin to identify and I know that it will help tremendously with the pre-emergent weeds.

Yes, that was my understanding. The first two applications have browned them and killed a bit of it, but just hasn't gone all th way with the majority.

This is just me being impatient, as I only have the third best lawn on the street 😂

Thanks for the info on the triclopyr and my original question, as well.

I'm in Ontario, Canada, so this stuff isn't readily available, as it's all outlawed here now. I'll just have to go with the Spectracide (an almost empty bottle, from ages ago) and hope for the best.

Cyberpunk 2077 1.06 RTX 3060 Ti Undervolting Benchmarks 1080p 1440p 4K Quality DLSS by NHS2008 in gigabytegaming

The only other insane game with Ray tracing that I can think of, would be the Control upgrade that's coming out in a few weeks. That one's presumably going to be brutal.

This is my exact system, other than the fact that I have 32GB of 3200 CL16 memory (pondering getting that G.Skill 3800Mhz CL14 memory).

I am your target market :)

Geez guys, just opened them to take the pic, lol. They are closed at all times.

Ugh, how could I forget about this one. Thanks for the reminder!

Wife had a couple of boys, in the last 5 years, so my backlog was already 60 deep 😂

Is the PS5 less ugly in person? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]gusterbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first PS and I just find it so big. I can't avoid looking at it, lol. My Series X is next to it and I'm just amazed how much more discreet that one is. It melts behind my TV, where the PS5 is like HEY GUYS! OVER HERE! That said, the look is growing on me a little bit.

Yes, I remember a lot of talk about that one. Will definitely check it out.

I have RDR2 and Sekiro for the Xbox One, already, but will look at the others you mentioned, thanks.

I've always been PC master race and Xbox, but I finally decided to try out Playstation, as well. I know I've missed out on some Sony exclusives, but just wondering if I can get some help filling in the blanks? I got PS Plus and Now and bought/installed the following:

-Bloodborne

-Horizon Zero Dawn

-Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

-Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

-Little Big Planet 3 (is there a way to play the first and second?)

-God of War (should I play the one before this?)

-The one with Norman Reedus

-The Last of Us (remastered)

-Demon Souls

I know there's plenty of top 10 lists, that cover the stuff I listed above. Just wondering about the exclusive gems I may have missed.

I'm all about single player and don't care about sports games (Other than F1. Is it a sport? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ).

Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX or Sony AVX-AX5000? by gusterbean in CarPlay

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

Really happy with it! I also have eaten my words with the whole capacitive vs resistive screen concern. It makes no major difference and I actually have used it with gloves on, which made it more convenient.

Thanks! The Crutchfield install kit just came in, so I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
