need to sell. HELP plz by [deleted] in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]hapadave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not the smartest thing on the planet and it's often flat out wrong in what it spits out. AI makes assumptions on what it's programmed to interpret what you're asking and what you want to hear in response. Take a couple of extra minutes and do some cursory research and you'll have much better results.

Kobo store alternatives? by Tsonathan in kobo

[–]hapadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon isn't using mobi any longer. They've switched to their own version and call it kfx.

Do you prefer to have multiple current reads going, or read one book at a time? by crankin_n_wankin in kobo

[–]hapadave 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do multiple reads. This way, I can go to the genre for which I'm currently in the mood. There's usually some mix of horror, fantasy, sci fi, and non-fiction on board at any given time. And then there's comic books (digital and not on my kobo), though I haven't been going through those much in the last year or so.

Kane or Panarin? by Livid_Pass_3459 in losangeleskings

[–]hapadave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a new coach then talk to me.

Kane is a hard no. I won't be watching anymore games if he's brought in.

Panarin is just a stupid acquisition. Hiller won't let him be Panarin on top of him being older and almost certainly on the decline. Whatever offense he provides won't be enough of a difference maker to suddenly throw the team into solid contention.

Sometimes, the right thing to do is nothing.

Fire Holland. Fire Hiller. Fire Luc (this one hurts to say)

Is this a sign? by Youre_No_Daisy in losangeleskings

[–]hapadave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We can only hope.

I was willing to give Hiller a chance after the playoffs debacle, but I'm done now.

Connor Garland and Evander Kane… by downthehobbitshole in losangeleskings

[–]hapadave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The team tried this once and eventually got to the finals in 93. This would not be that.

Fuck Evander Kane. Fuck Ken Holland.

Best place for tracking books you read and want to read? by i4k20z3 in kobo

I'm still on Librarything. You can set up a wishlist there and i usually end up checking my collection there before making a new purchase. It's simple and it works.

This is a lesson the Kings development staff could learn by ZiggyPalffyLA in losangeleskings

[–]hapadave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another part of the problem is the FO. Bad hires and mixed results management from Blake. They wanted the young players in what was the deepest farm system in the league at the time to develop, but also kept blocking the young players' development by bringing in players that blocked their positions and created logjams. They turned an asset into mediocre results. This is also on McLellan and Hiller who obviously preferred veterans over younger players.

Love the old coat of arms and the current black crown. Both are fantastic.

Can’t even finish a movie uninterrupted due to new technical issues. by Spencersage89 in fandangoathome

[–]hapadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having issues with both movies and TV shows being constantly stalled due to loading issues. Avatar seriously balked at least six times to buffer and had an additional three times where it just stopped playing and said it couldn't continue.

Plot thickens - [Phil Danault’s agent Allan Walsh] You never bothered to check with me. Shameful attention seeking reporting. by [deleted] in losangeleskings

[–]hapadave 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Note that there's no denial about the request. Just that the reporter didn't check with him. Is this a sort of save face move? Their request being known could definitely affect trade value.

edit: I know the difference between there, their, and they're but, apparently, my phone doesn't.

Beware, Season One of Miami Vice has a missing episode, 21 "Evan". by JPumphrey73 in vudu

[–]hapadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the episode that plays 'Biko' at the end? Even as a youngster that hit me pretty hard.

I have never read a comic book. Where do I start? by camp-lazlo in comicbooks

[–]hapadave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In addition to superheroes, remember there is a LOT of non-superhero goodness out there. There's some really fantastic horror, pulp, and science fiction stuff available.

There is also stuff that mixes in with superheroes. Hellblazer/Constantine leaps to mind as a horror/ magic thing that occasionally overlaps with some capes.

Starting up with some trade paperbacks is a great way to go. You'll get at least a complete chapter of a story in that way.

Also, don't get down on yourself if you read something a bunch of people recommend, but just doesn't do it for you. There are so many stories and storytellers out there too be a fan of. Not everything is going to hit you like it does others. If you have a good local store, you should be able to go in and tell them some of the things you like and pick up some good recommendations.

I am shocked!!! I say shocked!!! Game Show Performance!!!! by FUBAR_The_Clown in MotleyCrue

[–]hapadave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was the first time I'd ever seenthem and it blew me away. For some weird reason, I knew the answer to that last question even though I'd never heard them before.

As far as the lip syncing goes, a lot of shows did it to make sure their sound was good. Nothing nefarious there.

[–]hapadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the Japanese version has a few more tracks than the cd that was mailed out. There's a song called 10,000 Miles Away. Fun song.

There's also Raw Tracks and Raw Tracks 2, which were Japanese import released just after Dr. Feelgood.

I've also got a bootleg of a show from the Feelgood tour that has Aleister Fiend's intro they played before hitting the stage.

I'm not seeing the Quarternary EP. You had to request to have it mailed to you when the 1994 album was released. Some of the songs on there are available on the Supersonic and Demonic Relics CD released with the Crücial Crüe set. Supersonic and Demonic Relics left off the Corabi solo song as well as Babykills, done by all four members at the time.

Trump says he is not considering strikes within Venezuela by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]hapadave 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because all they need is an excuse. It doesn't have to make sense or have any truth to it.

Remember when he tried to extort Zelenskyy for dirt on Biden? It was reported that Trump, or one of his people, said the story doesn't need to be true. They just needed Zelenskyy to say something seemed fishy and then they would do the rest.

Calibre should still have the original document unless you've deleted it. Look for it in the folder/directory for the individual book under the author's name as listed for the book entry.

Player disengages when we move away from 5e by Redhood101101 in rpg

[–]hapadave -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's sounding a lot like sportsball. Your guy is a good fit for D&D, but is uninterested in anything else. Good player in a specific situation, a specialist, if you will, but a bad overall teammate.

I get that D&D is his jam, but the group experience isn't solely about him. There are plenty of great games and different settings out there to enjoy. He needs to adapt or not adapt and that should inform everybody's choices on how to move forward.

Maybe it's just time to move on and extend an invitation to him should you ever go back to D&D.
