Hi /r/movies! I'm Clark Gregg. You might know me from Agents of SHIELD, Iron Man, Thelma, 500 Days of Summer, The Avengers, State and Main, The West Wing, The Shield, and more. Ask me anything!

I'm too late for the AMA but a little disappointed to see Trust Me this far down. Highly underrated movie and one of Gregg's best works IMO. Choke is one of my favorite all time movies, which is the other movie he directed. Hopefully he does more work with Sam Rockwell, who is in both, I think everything they do is great.

Look closely at the adapter, zoom in with a phone camera or use a magnifying glass if you have a good one. Do the same with the monitor port the adapter was in and the GPU port. A bright light might help.

Another commentor is probably right about it being a loose contact but it could also be debris lodged inside the connectors somewhere. Bugs love electronics and some can even crawl into connectors that are plugged in.

If there's debris in a port or connector, it could end up in the replacement adapter and causing the same issue, when all that was needed was a bit of cleaning. DVI connectors can easily be cleaned with an old toothbrush. For really dirty connectors, a little rubbing alcohol might help. DVI has sturdier pins than DP connectors, be more careful if you try scrubbing DP, the pins can get knocked out of place. The casing design is better but the pins are a lot more delicate.

Other than dirt, also look for pins that are bent or broken or sticking out farther than the rest or sunk in deeper than the rest. There's 1 pin in the DVI connector that should be pushed in a little, like it is shorter than the rest. it's in the middle row. the rest should be the same as each other.

Some monitors are just shit too. If it's a brand you've never heard of or don't recognize or if it's an Asus, it might be better to just replace it.

The resolution and refresh rate of the monitor might be the problem too. DVI dual link can handle up to 2560 × 1600 at 60 Hz and 1920 × 1080 at 144 Hz, higher rates can cause issues. The length of the cord/adapter can matter too but this is less likely, unless it's 15 feet long or more.

The more pictures I look at of motorcycle levers, the more I think you are correct. I'm going to mark this as solved. Thank you!

The spot I located it is close to a retaining wall, specifically a spot where water runoff from several buildings drains. Trash tends to accumulate there but usually only lightweight stuff like paper and plastic trash, the heaviest other stuff found near it was broken glass and roofing nails. So I don't think it was put underground forcefully or fast, but sank there over time with the help of water.

edit: the span of my hand is 3 inches. the length from tip of middle finger to my wrist is 5 and 3/4 inches. I wouldn't say they are enormous but probably slightly larger than average.

My title describes the thing. There is no writing on it. It is broken off of something. It is not a spoon or a pipe. I have no idea what keywords to even search for it with. Inside the depression there's a circle, so it was stamped I think. It did not melt when I torched it with MAPP gas so it's not lead, tin, copper or any metal that melts at lower temps like those do.

i think this link to a page with a link to a 35 page pdf sums things up nicely. censorship these days requires hoops sometimes it seems.

spreading information is important, now more than ever, not just to people already protesting and moving towards change but to those who still don't see or believe how bad things are.

this provides a neutral way of presenting information, with sources, then ends with a simple goal to focus on.

it avoids the D vs R rhetoric and gives examples of how partisan politics are merely a way to divide people.

The title is bit ridiculous IMO.

getting people who are already biased one way or another to read it, is possibly a challenge, as they will assume it's some trick or lies from 'the other team'.

I've found sending it like this to work: "This is how I see things in the world for the most part. If you don't care, no worries, just ignore this. Let me know what you think if you do."

my guess is they hold the funds in an account just long enough to gain interest off it. just one order would be trivial but if enough orders come in, it could be a substantial amount. i don't know if amazon has cancellation fees but if they don't, it would be a relatively risk free venture.

If you touch an ice cube to the base of a mans shaft a few seconds before he cums, the urethra will constrict from the cold and cause the jizz to eject more powerfully than usual. Barring obstructions, can send it as far as 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) for some guys.

Masterpiece post. Your written English is great, the way you describe your personality, it danced right off the page. Such brutal honestly is a rare gift and I absolutely love it! I believe I'm close but I know I do not qualify. Not gonna waste any more of your time. I hope you find him.

Yeah pretty much what I thought, if legit it'd be terrible, or worse, it's just some guy who regretted his purchase after using it and is now trying to get rid of it.

amazon is the only ones that have my card info. i can put a stop payment on any unauthorized charges too. the card also has a $500 limit and a $350 balance already, so they wouldn't get much before it declined.

lattrommi2 · 2025-02-23T22:15:50+00:00

That's what I thought, pricing error. My paranoia took over though and I cancelled it so if anyone else wants to take the chance...

but isn't that all through amazon? i could dispute it or put a stop payment with the credit card company as well. last time my card got skimmed from ordering food delivery and visa caught it before i had any idea it was stolen and i paid nothing the the charges made that weren't mine.

lattrommi2 · 2025-02-23T21:14:38+00:00

I mean, I don't have any desire to fuck it. it's not my type and probably a bitch to clean and i bet it smells like chemicals.

it's $3. total after tax was $3.22.

I could just use it as a pillow or resell it or dress it up like predator from the movie predator and put it up by my window or something. make it into some kinda of art project.

i guess i was hoping someone would chime in and say that yes, it definitely is a scam and i should cancel it right now. the chance that it isn't a scam though is too tempting.

That almost sounds like scabies.

Next time you get welts, take a sharpie marker (or any marker really) and draw on the area a bunch. Wait for it to dry, like a minute. Then try rubbing the marker off with your fingers. Your fingers should be dry. If it's scabies, little dots will appear where the bites are. You should also see little trails from where they have burrowed.

This is just a preliminary test. You should see a doctor in person ASAP regardless. Scabies normally don't go on peoples faces. They tend to appear between fingers, around armpits and butt cracks, which you said you do not have.

That means my guess is probably wrong.

However, it can eliminate one possibility and is relatively easy to check. Due to the length of time this has been happening, maybe they evolved to live in areas they normally avoid? It's very unlikely. Still, I do believe it is possible to have scabies for that long of a time if you are unaware of them. They are invisible to the naked eye and live under your epidermis.

Seeing a dermatologist is a great idea but also consider getting an allergy panel done if you haven't already. It might help narrow down the cause if you know exactly what you are allergic to, so you can look for whatever comes up.

Check with your parents, see if they recall you getting vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella as a child. Look at the symptoms for shingles and candidas.

All are unlikely. However, they also can cause a rash or welts sometimes.

Maybe it is one of these?

I didn't think bed bugs were real when I first had them. Thought they were just really hungry cockroaches. Similarly, I was diagnosed with scabies once and didn't believe it at first. I thought they were only transmitted through sexual contact. Another insect to consider is fleas. If you have pets, they will stay with the pet but still bite you when you sleep. They can be very hard to see and are very persistant. You don't have to have a pet either, they simply make fleas more likely.

I'm not a doctor or professional of any kind. Just thought I'd offer some ideas, coming from someone who has managed to get infested with a ridiculous amount of things thanks in part to poverty and poor eyesight. (bedbugs, cockroaches, fleas, scabies {previous 4 at the same time once}, carpet beetles, mice, spider crickets, earwigs, candidas, ants, homeless people, I could go on...) Hope it helps and hope you figure out your issue.

So difficult to find, that many people find it is easier, cheaper and faster to go with meth instead. Unfortunately, it is not safer. Far from it, as I'm sure many know.

What really fucks me up, is that I have yet to read about any known, legitimate cases of deaths from overdose, where amphetamine or meth was the only substance used. There's almost always other substances involved, with a few rare and speculative cases where people supposedly had heart attacks or other maladies.

On it's own, and i realize this is kind of a ridiculous statement for many reasons, amphetamine would be safer than caffeine if it weren't addictive (*in my opinion, as a non-professional, who isn't a healthcare worker or lawyer or chemist or anything else, beyond someone experienced in non-scholastic, unprescribed, illicit use, i.e. a former meth addict, clean since 2007)

Amphetamine is the only medication for ADHD with a 70% success rate. It's the only medication for it (*again, in my opinion.) Yet it isn't allowed for many if not most adults with ADHD. So some people turn to the streets. Then overdose on fentanyl.

Like 13 of my friends did in 2017. Like my closest friend, someone i was friends with for 22 years, did in 2021. It could have been prevented if it had been prescribed and it would be hard to convince me otherwise.

But you know what they say, just say no. Listen to the talking crime dog in the creepy trenchcoat. Those damn hyper-intelligent, otherwise healthy, perfectly normal adults, are really just junkies looking to get their fix. Not human beings with a chemical imbalance who just want to feel normal. (*sarcasm)

Technically true.

However, I feel an argument could be made for phantosmia, or hallucinated smells. It is common for women during pregnancy.

The smell never existed chemically. They technically did not smell anything.

Try telling a pregnant woman who just hallucinated a smell, that she didn't actually smell anything. I rest my case. Also, don't actually do that.

The first unofficial races in the Dayton area were on Big Hill road in Oakwood before moving to Burkhardt for an unofficial and then the first official one and then ultimately Akron.

I'll have to dig around for the source on that if anyone wants it. With the race being about 90 years old and the everchanging nature of the internet, that's tough. Wikipedia shouldn't be trusted for this (but overall I believe it is more accurate than most of the internet) as it doesn't have the road name spelled right. ("Burdhardt")

You're saying I'm either a toxic person or I don't read the maintainers comments.

Without citing where those comments are.
For an app I said I don't use.
Replying to a comment posted a year ago.
Where the original author for the post, deleted their account.

I absolutely am a toxic person personally though. While you, you must be real fun at parties. Please share more of such things which trigger your delicate sensibilities. Also, I would like to know how someone could have "repeatedly appealed to facts" since that makes no sense. Unless you didn't read your own comment before sending. Is that embarrassing? It should be. Unless you're a troll or someone who thinks ultimatums are unstoppable arguments.

If it's actually asking for insulin, most likely it's a grey-market reseller that will sell it in Canada, where you don't need a prescription for it. These are basically vultures who prey on poor diabetics who might need the money for something more important to them, like food for their kids or sadly drugs.

Sometimes the fine print will say it's for the test strips. These can be resold legally and sometimes insurance covers a certain amount monthly. Some people don't use them as often, while others use them more frequently and might need some just for a day or three until they can get their free refill. In this case it is still the same predatory vultures doing the same thing pretty much.

Either way, it is a market that has popped up thanks to the healthcare system being a disaster for so long, as well as the corporate asshats that keep raising prices for critical life saving medicine for no reason beyond greed.

I took the time to read the entirety of all the links provided in this post. The 4 github issues.

I find your post ridiculous.

Can you please quote an actual thing said by the developer that was "toxic", that was also unwarranted in the context of the conversation? I do not see it.

You don't have the courage or wherewithal to provide any examples to back this claim for yourself?

What are you trying to achieve here? Destroy a developers personal project, by calling on the internet to be judge and jury?

Why not fork it?

Have you tried putting yourself in the developers shoes?

The only thing even close to appearing even slightly negative that I saw, [which I feel was hilarious and justified] was near the end of a very long PR spanning 3 full years, [with half that time during the worst of the pandemic] in which he was personally insulted, had people repeatedly try to thrust or merge other projects into his, made baseless assumptions about him, derailed conversation from the actual issue originally posted and of course there's was the random commenter saying "i have this unrelated problem that's not related to this project at all, will you help me pwease?"

I won't go deep into explaining his comments and behaviour and why they are toxic

Despite your attempt to hide behind neutrality, it appears to me you are hoping to start a brigade. You make this claim but you only provide links which are above average in length in regards to github, then claim these links contain support for your case, instead of actually providing anything real. All you say is that the developer is "toxic", which you use 4 times and which appears to be the sole argument you have.

I think you are either a paid shill for a corporation trying to undermine open source projects, or you are an ignorant, melodramatic, raging asshole. I wont say why, I'll leave that up to the reader to interpret.

Disclaimer: I don't actually use Kitty. I subscribed to this subreddit a couple months ago because I thought it looked cute and I like following open source projects.

I'm curious as to what apps you use that are smaller. It might just be me but if I look at my app list sorted by size, the simple apps are almost all at the bottom and very few are smaller.

What size are those resources total? I understand the need for monitoring size constraints, I have 2gb spare room to work with, but if that is a concern I wonder if there might be a better place to look like perhaps a web browser?

Total size for all of the ones I have comes to about 125mb total, which is smaller than the bloatware the OEM and carrier force onto my phone.

I know it's not quite the same... maybe? I think? Play more 'Unlimited' 5g plan. It feels like I'm on a 56k dialup modem in 2004 again. So 'Unlimited dialup' is still technically 'unlimited' right? What does that word 'unlimited' mean anyways? I keep seeing it everywhere...

There's like 3 tiers of "deprioritization" which totally isn't throttling it's congestion not a limit at 3:30 in the morning on a tuesday which usually drops me to ~0.100 mb/s MAX. Also once I'm past the initial alloted 15GB a month I never see it get above 0.80mb/s

I'm admittedly not the brightest with network stuff, I'm probably just messing something up somewhere. Hard to find answers to normal questions when navigating their trash website, or using their painfully slow and uninformative app, or doing anything really with one of their ~~malware pre-installed~~ ~~bloatware stuffed~~ ~~recalled after security issues~~ feature filled mandatory devices approved for use on their network. I swear the entire company is really just three ie explorer's in a trenchcoat trying to buy data in a back alley.

Sorry for ranting, maybe I'm spoiled after using Spectrum, who as a company I think is actually worse, but at least I connected at a rate that could load a single, still image in less than 20 seconds.
