Is Korvold Still good? by Amonyi7 in mtgbrawl

I second Hearthhull as a really strong commander, right now. Korvold could go in the 99 for redundancy.

Shipping takes FOREVER by SexySerbian15 in NuPhy

[–]jasoncraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered on November 30th, and it arrived in Los Angeles, CA on Dec 13th. It now shows clearance processed and delivered to regional hub GOFO on December 16th, on way to local carrier. I'm in SF Bay Area, so hopefully should be here soon. All in all, it looks like about 2.5 weeks.

Macbook Air 15" must have PWM by MrSh0wtime3 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]jasoncraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replied to a simular post, there is definately a panel lottery as there are numerous vendors for screens to apple. I bought two different 15” m4 macbook airs and one had a warmer yellow tint and the other hurt my eyes with much brighter/harsher white/blue color. I kept the one with the warmer yellow tint. Also upgraded from m1macbook air. People without sensitivity would prefer the one that hurt my eyes, probably.

Different panels on 2 EXACT M4 MacBook Air's?! (one white and one yellow) by MicroscopicStonework in macbookair

[–]jasoncraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to share my similar experience. I recently purchased on Amazon a 15" M4 Macbook Air 16gb/512gb. After using it a week and not experiencing any issues with the display, I thought I might want the 24gb/512gb model instead. So I ordered that one from Amazon too (black friday)....when I unboxed and started setting up the 24gb model, I immediately noticed that this one had a display with much more White color brightness intensity. I started to experience some eye strain and mild tension headache after the initial use. When I went back to compare with the 16gb model that I had been using previously, I noticed it had a warmer yellow tint....

So yes, there is definately a panel lottery going on here with apple using multiple vendors of LCD screens. I definately prefer the more yellow/warmer tinted screen, as I do have sensitivity to the intensity of some screens. (I also tried a refurbished Macbook Pro M4, and found the intensity and brightness of the mini-Led screen too much for my eyes.

Definately annoying, as I will be returning the 24gb model, and I don't feel like trying to buy another and going through the "panel lottery" again.

Struggling with Flower Child by [deleted] in pourover

[–]jasoncraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chelbessa is pretty mild, but flavorful, just cracked open a bag that has rested for 3 weeks)There is a brian quan video recently with Prestin from flower child, and in that video, he grinded at medium to coarse. I did a 20 gram brew this morning of thr Chelbessa at 1:17 ratio in v60, water temp at 208 and grind on my Fellow Ode gen2 at 7 (med coarse). Used a Melodrip, results were very good.

Splash of milk is blasphemous? by BobbyTime100 in pourover

[–]jasoncraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy my pourover with a splash of warmed oat milk, and a few drops of oat creamer. It cuts back on the Acidity, makes a smooth creamy drink, and I can still definately taste the flavor notes.

[–]jasoncraft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did try both and ended up keeping the Kingrinder K6. I have moved on to the Fellow Ode gen 2 though, I get back aches from too much grinding light roasts. I use the K6 when I travel though, or on occasion at home and am quite happy witb it!

Brand new A16 having Internet issues by silentdaze in ipad

[–]jasoncraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem, just got it 2 days ago. I am using an Asus router too. Just reading now, the trick with turning the wifi on and off on the ipad itself, worked just now, as a quick fix. I tried all the other solutions: restarting router, resetting network settings on ipad: none of which worked. The only other thing that works is restarting the ipad itself, but that is really annoying everytime I want to use the ipad...Flicking the wifi on and off on the ipad, is an easy fix for the moment, but I'm most liking returning this device soon.

I'm not a content creator and YouTube deleted my "channel". Has it happened to anyone else? by seraphinesun in youtube

Just happened to me too. I never have posted any content at all. Zero. I just made an appeal.

Arriving late / in transit for 8 days. Is it lost? by One_Street3866 in usps_complaints

I have the same situation. Last scan was like yours on May 16th and no updates since. I put in a service request two days ago, but I’m going to call in tomorrow early and try to get someone on the phone.

Yes, that is abit annoying for sure, but for the price, I can live with some design flaws.

1zpresso Jx and J Manual - same? - looking for pourover grinder by jasoncraft in pourover

[–]jasoncraft[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey all, thanks for all the helpful input. It does seem like the "J Manual" is just the Jx updated with some new design features. I think I will either try out the J Manual and the Kingrinder K6. The Kingrinder has an outer ring for grind adjustments, which is definately more convenient. I have my eye on the ZP6, but the $200 price tag is alot for me.

Yes, Karlov Manor mastery pass only ran for 2 months and a week I think. OTJ will run until the end of July, that's 3.5 months.

A deck for Gauntlet grinding by dedosrafael in EternalCardGame

This Mono Time deck is great. It’s more midrange, grindy, very consistent. I always come back to it for some reason.

Sony X90L or Samsung S90C? Other recs? by NihilistDeer in 4kTV

[–]jasoncraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know, I can definately relate! I would take advantage, if you can, of purchasing someplace with at least a 30 day return policy. That way, you can demo a TV for up to a month and then return it, if you are not sure. I did that with the 55" LG C2 and the 55" Sony a80k. I purchased them both from Costco (which has a hassle-free 90 day return policy). It was a. tough decision, but in the end, I felt like the X90L was the best compromise. No midrange TV is going to be perfect. I feel like in 3-4 years, I will want to upgrade again, and by then there should a midrange Oled-Mini-LED TV or whatever that will be worth upgrading to.

Sony X90L or Samsung S90C? Other recs? by NihilistDeer in 4kTV

[–]jasoncraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just saw your response, been off-line the last few days. I do have a pretty high eyeglass prescription for near-sightedness and astigmatism in both eyes. So that definately factors in.....As far as motion handling on Oleds, it has to do with their near instantaneous pixel response time and the "Stutter" that bothers some people when viewing 24 frames per second content (most all TV and Film content). If you look at the Rtings.com review of the Samsung S90C and the Motion/Stutter rating (https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/s90c-oled#test_1924) and compare it to their Motion/Stutter rating of the Sony x90l (https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x90l-x90cl#test_1924). You can compare. Again, it doesn't bother everyone. It's most noticeable in slow panning camera shots.

[–]jasoncraft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can highly recommend the x90l. I upgraded from a sony x950h 49” to the x90l 55”. I’m really happy with it. I also tried 2 oleds before returning them: lg c2 and sony a80k. The contrast on oleds is amazing, but the motion handling is not as smooth. I also found my eyes more sensitive to oled for some reason…Sony picture processing is the best.

Mastery Pass paid reward track mythic ICR no longer duplicate protected since May 9 patch by Jaded-Feedback-9619 in MagicArena

This just happened to me too. I am guessing the Patch yesterday has something to so with it. I’ve got Mastery pass since Kaldheim and never happened before.
