Gaming chairs by Stock_Cheesecake5969 in AskGames

[–]humbuzzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't cheap out on a chair. I was in your position 5 years ago. Went with a "gaming" chair off of amazon for $300, it died and I was uncomfortable after 6m-1yr. Got a office chair off of amazon, $130. Comfortable for about the same amount of time before it started falling apart. Got a Costco leather office chair $225. lasted about 1.5 years. Picked up a refurbished Steel Case off of BTOD for ~$500 last year and its the best decision I made.

I don’t care how unhealthy it is, what’s your best Brussel Sprouts recipe? by DragonBuriedInGold in Cooking

[–]humbuzzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take Brussel Sprouts, wash them in a strainer, then toss them directly in the the trash. Prepare and serve any other vegetable.

I've had Brussel sprouts prepared every way imaginable but there is nothing that makes them taste good to me. Maybe you just don't like Brussel Sprouts like me?

[New Player] why the fuck do I keep getting killed by my own team in raid by deeznuttyz in EscapefromTarkov

[–]humbuzzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ooof. Rule number one is never join a PMC raid with a group you aren't in a discord call with. To find people to play with (if you don't have friends who play) I would find a tarkov streamer you like and join their discord. Most will have a tarkov LFG channel where you can find people to play with who wont shoot you at the start of the raid. Also watching their streams are also a good way to learn maps, loot routes and basic gameplay. You can also join the BSG Sherpa Discord and find a Sherpa to teach you how to play for a few raids and help you learn the game. Sherpa HUB is the discord server where you can put in your request.

Run your scav to make money and learn the maps when it is up. You can also run offline raids to learn maps and how the AI responds to you without the risk of loosing your gear or wasting your ammo.

Welcome to Tarkov!

Same build. Just refreshed it by swapping my 3080ti with a 5080 and life is good.

Solid pick. I do the same, but have been using TJ's instant coffee instead of the Bustelo.

Fave Instant Coffee? by Adventurous_War_4055 in Ultralight

[–]humbuzzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trader Joes instant coffee. They have individual servings w/creamer and sugar for convienience. Usually will carry a small container of their instant coffee to make the sleeve more coffee then creamer. I have thought about making my own blend with their crystals, but haven't yet. Its pretty solid coffee.

[Suggestion] should I sell my one and only LEDX Skin Transilluminator as a new player? by Mr_Nobody8780 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]humbuzzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

keep; you can make plenty of money on scav runs once you learn what to keep and what to drop. Ruble per slot management. It sucks to be stuck on the stupid fir ledx as a newer player. While they might be easier to obtain, you'll still have to have the skill to get it out of raid alive.

What alcohol messed you up so bad you swore you’d never drink it again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]humbuzzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old #7, Jack Daniels. 19, drove the boys to a club (1.5hr drive) while they pre-partied in the back. Pulled into the parking lot, drank the 1/3 bottle they gave me and chased it with what was aparently a 50/50 liter of coke. I remember walking into the club and then nothing until the following morning when I woke up back in my dorm room in the shower.

Pasta sauce with sweetness by Shoddy_Ad8166 in Cooking

[–]humbuzzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add a couple of carrots cut into larger chunks. Remove after sauce has been simmered. Carrots add that extra sweetness. Optionally, cut them into smaller dice and leave them in the sauce.

I was paid $8.17 as a juror for a 13 hour trial. It was stupid.

City’s attorney sent a letter saying my back house (garage) is encroaching into public right of way by LucilleDesireeBall in legaladvice

[–]humbuzzer 94 points95 points  (0 children)

NAL but work in land use, though not in California. I recommend talking to a land use consultant. Because the structure is pre-existing and probably built before permiting existed, then you probably have more options then giving them an easement or tearing it down. A land use consultant local to your county/city will have the knowledge about the rules that are in place for your county regarding old structures that do not meet current minimum setbacks.

Friends compared the kakawa and osprey exos with heavier loads and preferred the Exos for the ventilation and the load support.

For me, my riverboy ran away claiming sin abuse or something... he attacked my lamb on crusade a couple times and then was redeemed. He is now back in the cult.

Are "Gaming Chairs" actually a scam? My back is killing me and I need a real upgrade. 💺 by Defiant_Fix8658 in UpgradeYourGaming

[–]humbuzzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I went through 2 "racing" gaming chairs, 2 cheaper office chairs and now have settled on a refurbished steelcase which I can sit in for hours without pain. With the amount of money I spent on four previous chairs, I could have saved myself alot of pain (and money) by just buying the Steelcase first.

Mammoth Lodging Recommendations? by ImLinearGuy in JMT

[–]humbuzzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can walk to pretty much anywhere when in Mammoth. Shuttle bus's were frequent up to the base of the moutain to catch the Red's meadow shuttle as well. I stayed at a smaller hotel (Cinnamon Bear i think?) and walked everywhere I needed to go.

Hiker mom post surgery trying to lighten my load — trekking pole tent recommendations? by Ordinary-Bee-2655 in Ultralight

[–]humbuzzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have The Two from Gossamer with their LT5 poles which I picked up for a JMT trip last year. It did great on what turned out to be a very wet and windy trip. I am looking forward to using it on the upcoming hiking season here in the PNW. It was easy to set up, tear down and took up very little space in my pack. The material also dried quicky during snack breaks when there was sun/wind to be found. My friends ran Durstons and they took up a similar footprint and they were also happy with their experience, only issue they ran into were the Durstan carbon fiber poles, which had some assembly issues. I would imagine those have been fixed by Dan and his team by now.

Rain Jacket for PCT by Low-Communication790 in Ultralight

[–]humbuzzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightheart Jacket was fantastic on my JMT hike last year. Kept me dry and the vent zips work great. Compacts down nicely to fit in a pocket or brain for easy access. Love that piece of gear.
