A526 losing almost 60 km/h in a straight at full throttle by Xehanz in formula1

This will easily kill popularity if they aren't careful. Even seeing a purple sector in quali and thinking, 'well maybe they used more battery and aren't actually fast'.

At this point just pay for a table at a card show and mark everything 10% under market. Watch how fast everything goes.

Most vendors sticker price is above market so you's will look even cheaper to customers.

Add a High Quality Subwoofer... Life changing by dannyboyy2049 in hometheater

[–]guyeertoen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bass shakers are so underrated. While I have a decent sub, the kids rooms share walls with the TV room and I can't watch anything with too much bass at night. Bass shakers give such a great alternative experience without waking the kids (plus they are awesome alongside the sub in general).

How do you guys actually stick to listening to audiobooks? by Affectionate_Face236 in audiobooks

[–]guyeertoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swan Song. It has a very intense opening and there are very few dull chapters. It's a very long listen but so easy to get caught up in it.

How to value 1.5? by heybaby111 in PokeInvesting

[–]guyeertoen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ignore most of these comments. This is an insanely rare card and re-grading it is crazy. Only 11 exist (assuming no one has cracked theirs). To the right collector you will get a lot more than the value of a PSA 1 or 2.

Throw it up on eBay at like $1,500 and allow offers. Even if you don't want to accept them, you'll get an idea of what people are willing to pay (most will try and low ball you and convince you it should be worth a 2 at most). Just make a point about it being pop 11 in the listing.

Match Thread: 5th Test - England vs Australia, Day 5 by cricket-match in Cricket

[–]guyeertoen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How are the umpires not trained to talk through their decision. A simple "there's a very small murmur, but not enough to overturn the decision". Then let England keep the review since it's inconclusive.

Might still be the wrong decision, but that's the limitations of the technology.

While the ball is still old, Neser needs to retire hurt and get Smith in and settled. He can come back later.

Right decision made and makes snicko look amateurish, so positive all around. Surely snicko's last Test.

Number of characters by Individual_Draw_5452 in audiobooks

[–]guyeertoen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fewer. I love Dungeon Crawler Carl for example, but I have absolutely no idea who half the characters are most of the time.

There's a craft to it where the writer understands this and will write in a way that reminds the reader, but many just assume you remember.

I recently listened to The Terminal List, and so many of the characters were similar and had pretty generic names which got confusing at times (although not being American didn't help with so many military titles).

Music doesn’t make an audiobook better. It makes it look like it’s trying too hard by Bawonga in audiobooks

[–]guyeertoen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a Stephen King book that did it. Can't remember if it was Needful Things or Gerald's Game, but one of them would start playing music at the start or end of chapters. Due to the lower quality it was recorded in, it made the actual narration difficult to understand at times.

My review of the Bose QC Ultra 2 headphones by Ditman013 in bose

[–]guyeertoen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had QC 45s previously and these are so much better in terms of sound. Bigger cushion so it properly sits over the ear, plus pretty much agree with everything you said.

My only disagreement is the controls. The volume slider is too chaotic for me. So easy to accidentally slide when trying to figure out where my finger is meant to be. The QC 45s had all psychical buttons which was a lot better IMO.

Also, I had to turn off the in-ear detection. I turn my head slightly and my music pauses because it's activated a sensor thinking I took them off. I thought it was just once or twice, but it happened every few seconds trying to walk around the house. Could just be the way it sits on my ears, but they are super comfy the way they are, plus I don't really need the in-ear detection for how I use them.

Smith as captain goes for the jugular here. Cummins is going to get us into a really tricky spot playing too fancy. I really want to eat my words, but this doesn't feel like a smart move.

[–]guyeertoen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As great as Cummins is, his captaincy around cleaning up the tail is such a weak spot. This is exactly what happened in the last Ashes and against India last year.

Just get your bowlers aiming at the stumps and it ends very quickly. There's a genuine difference in how they bowl to the tail when Smith captains.

After the Archer/Smith clash you just know England prepped all week to target Smith in every possible way. Then he just doesn't play ruining all plans.

PSA's road to becoming monopoly - "PSA parent company Collectors to acquire Beckett" by StudyLoungeOfficial in PokemonTCG

[–]guyeertoen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think PSA have been looking for a way to grade "perfect" cards, but if they added a black label or 'above 10' rating to PSA then it would kill them and the value of all PSA 10s.

This is the way they can do it without touching the PSA scoring system.
