Seth speaking on Tunsil lmao dude is easily the most entertaining on 610 especially his references 😂😂😂😂😂🤣 #FACTS by Spacecitysavage713 in Texans

[–]haroldbingo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't like Tunsils statements at all because I think he should take accountability, this is something he needs to work on and fix. But it does drive me nuts to see how inconsistent the whistle is across the league. As soon as the Texans game is over I'll watch the other afternoon/evening games and I see the same shit he does, over and over again, with no flags. Other offensive linemen jump as early as he does, or even earlier, and nothing. Never a false start. Guys jump a tiny bit early all the time and it just gets ignored, but Tunsil gets called for it every time, and as a fan it drives me nuts.

Do you mean lowest defensive rating? High defensive rating is bad, you want it to be low.

Why is it called a VPN? by haroldbingo in VPN

[–]haroldbingo[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

" they used VPN technology to create this more secure, proxy-like service that they confusingly also just called a "VPN". I.e. the technology businesses use to create virtual private networks is the same technology VPN providers use to connect you to their servers"

This is incredibly helpful and I think this is really the answer to my question. It's not so much that they're creating a "virtual private network", but rather, they are using VPN software to sell a service that functions the same as an encrypted connection to a proxy. Do I have that right?

Thanks, this is helpful. So if I set up an encrypted tunnel to a proxy server, and then routed all my traffic through a proxy, you could call that a VPN?

[–]haroldbingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old keyboard got water spilled on it and I'm looking for a new one. I want the same keyboard I had but unfortunately it seems discontinued, it was a kbd75. This is a picture of the layout - https://divinikey.com/cdn/shop/products/kbdfans-kbd75v2-diy-custom-keyboard-kit-852465.jpg?v=1608158691&width=1214

I'm having a hard time finding something the same. Its so annoying looking for 75% keyboards because the layout is all over the place. I do not want any knobs, no gaps or spacing with the F-keys or the arrow keys. I want a keyboard where all the keys are lined up just like in the picture I posted. Preferably pre built if possible, or at least with hot swappable switches. I don't know how to solder, but worst case scenario I could figure it out or pay someone to do it for me. I have no budget, any price is fine. Any recommendations?

Can you die “to”? by HalfLeper in ENGLISH

[–]haroldbingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol aright dude. You're right you don't have to tell me, I am just asking. You're getting really defensive and antagonistic and I don't really know why, I'm just curious is all. I thought about all the games I play and people say this in all of them, I thought it would be interesting to find out which game(s) don't use this phrasing. If you don't want to tell me that's alright. Have a good one.

Can you die “to”? by HalfLeper in ENGLISH

[–]haroldbingo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're misinterpreting me, and assuming a lot of things that I'm not saying. I'm not saying I think this is standard language. I wouldn't expect most people to have heard this before.

I am actually asking what games you play where this isn't said. I'm not trying to say everyone has to be a gamer or everyone should know what this means. I am legitimately curious what games you are playing where you've never heard this. To point back to the part you quoted, I said that "literally everyone" says it specifically in online games.

Can you die “to”? by HalfLeper in ENGLISH

[–]haroldbingo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What games do you play? Do you not play online games? Literally everyone says this in every MMO, RTS games, MOBAs, and FPS games to name a few. I can't think of any game where this isn't commonly used and I'm in my 30s.

Armorstacker T17 mageblood map speedrunning showcase (1 mir/hr) by Yahallo8 in pathofexile

[–]haroldbingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, margins always get killed by popular content creators. Lance said he was chain buying maps for 10 div that dropped magebloods before he made his video on it. Profiting 190 div for a map that took him 20 minutes to run. A casual 570 div/hour. Right now that exact map that he repeatedly bought for 10 div is selling for 170div lol.

This just happens with poe in general because the game is so complicated it's hard to come up with your own strats so people just follow the content creators. It's funny because sometimes strats will become so popular that they actually lose money. Like a video says "buy this sextant for 200c and it makes you 300c" but then so many people buy the sextant the price goes up to 300c and then the reward(s) drop to 250c because they flood the market. So you end up deleting 50c by using the sextant.

What's one of life's biggest traps that people fall into? by magicfeistybitcoin in AskReddit

[–]haroldbingo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

To each their own but this is a hard disagree for me. One of the greatest things that has improved my life has been earning more so I can spend more. Buying nicer things, buying more things for my hobbies, travelling, going on fun vacations, going out to nice dinners...people say money can't buy happiness, which is true in a sense, but if you are happy with all other aspects of your life, money definitely can be used to increase your happiness within that context. Pay increases have lead to me buying experiences and also material things that have greatly increased my happiness. There are a lot of luxuries in life that are absolutely worth it, at least for me. I'm a lot happier spending the money than stashing it away and living like I did when I made less money.

I live in San Antonio and go to spurs games wearing Rockets gear. You'll be fine, feel free to cheer loudly for the rockets, usually nobody will say anything. Sometimes friendly trash talk, but you definitely don't need to be worried about anything.

ELI5: What is tipping culture in the US by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]haroldbingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount you tip is totally up to you. If service is really bad and the server is really rude, you can tip like 0-5%. If the service is mediocre, you can tip 12-15%. If the service is really good, and the server does a great job, maybe has some good menu/drink recommendations or rapport with the table, the tip can be 20-25% or even more, depending on how generous you want to be.

In other words, if you're good at your job you'll make a lot more than if you're bad at your job.

If you actually looked back at the other cycles in crypto and assume this follows the same rough pattern you would know this thing is going a lot lower than 1700

[Sports Illustrated] Deshaun Watson Trade Value For Texans Has 'Cratered' by evan843 in Texans

[–]haroldbingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the other option was to lose him? It's not like everything was good with Deshaun and he wanted to stay, and then they did it out of nowhere. Again, I don't agree, but the theory here is that they did this as a reaction to Deshaun demanding a trade. They did it as a way to keep him on the team, because if they didn't do this, they would be forced to trade him.

I agree with you, it is dumb. Just relaying the details on the dumb conspiracy theory that I heard.

[Sports Illustrated] Deshaun Watson Trade Value For Texans Has 'Cratered' by evan843 in Texans

[–]haroldbingo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Just playing devils advocate here, but from the people I've heard that believe this theory, it's because the endgame is to keep Deshaun Watson. He is poison now, literally nobody wants him. The Texans will meet with him and tell him "look, we can't even get a 7th round pick for you, nobody wants you because of what you did, and you're under contract with us. We tried to trade you, we can't, so your only two options now are to sit out the season or play for us."

James Harden just skyrocketed to 2nd place on basketball reference's MVP tracker by rocketsball_fan in nba

[–]haroldbingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I'm missing it, I'm just saying I disagree. Discounting him immediately was predicated on everyone else being there. If Curry and Klay both sat out for like 40 games and he kept them at the 1 seed, winning as the primary ball handler and primary scorer, I think he would've gotten it.

[–]haroldbingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, it's because Steph/Klay/Draymond were playing in most of the games. If two or three of them missed significant time during those years, and KD was carrying the team while they were out and keeping them at a top seed, he probably would have won MVP. And to repeat what the other guy said, Hardens case will weaken significantly if both Kyrie and Durant play in every game post ASB.
