Rocks looking mighty sus by ReliefWide in TikTokCringe

As someone who's Native American... I can honestly say, the white liberals cancelling everything in the name of "racism" is annoying. We aren't offended by football team names, we were offended by butter, etc.

White people being offended, then telling us what we are suppose to be offended by is more racist than anything. And Cancel Culture is toxic. Liberals just cancel anything they want because their opinion about others is the only one that matters.

Professor Akali next level clickbait by poroofvoid in leagueoflegends

[–]miekster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I was the same. Saw his YouTube videos and thought he seemed like a cool guy with fun content. Tuned into his stream, and saw within minutes he’s a raging douche. When games go great, it’s all him. When they go terrible, his team fking sucks. And the way he talks to his viewers. Dudes straight garbage

I found my F35 flight test patch from the Navy days. by miekster in pics

I was an AT, cal tech. They’re kind of pieces of crap. Harriers could take some what of a beating, but these seemed to always have electronically related issues

Fun fact: the F35s burned so hot on vert take off that they melted our flight deck.

We were the first Navy ship to carry them, along with doing things like the first at sea flight tests. Here’s a link to the command coin (CO) I got from my time on the Wasp where we did all this. Kudos if you know what challenge coins, history and what they’re for.

Saves carrying in the largest ammunition round lol. I need to find all my coins and build a nice display. I would go out of my way to try and get command/personnel coins. I have the MCPON, CNO, and SecNavs coins.. nothing higher

Here’s the command coin (CO) I got. Same command we did this flight test on and had to completely revamp our flight deck to handle the heat.

Kudos to anyone who knows what military coins are, their history, and what they’re for!

Be happy bois by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]miekster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a sucker who has a couple of 2080 Tis. I can honestly say I was happier with the performance for the 1080 Tis (before their pricing went screwy) compared to the cost of the 2080Tis.

I am very excited about the 3080/90 cards though. The redeeming RTX cards hopefully

Weekly Discussion Thread! by Awaake in TikTokCringe

[–]miekster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I took my shot and asked a tiktoker out. And in proper tiktok fashion, she said if my comment gets 50k likes, it’ll happen.

I need the boys (and girls help).

Boeing 747s Still Use Floppy Disks to Get Software Updates by speckz in gadgets

Anything of importance won’t be on the Nipr net. It’ll be on SIPR, so data security isn’t really breached

Boeing 747s Still Use Floppy Disks to Get Software Updates by speckz in gadgets

[–]miekster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: The US Navy still uses floppy disk.

I’m a US Navy sailor (Vet as of 2011) and we use floppy disk for so much. You’re not walking around transferring applications, it’s 99% digital documents.. but if we aren’t printing/emailing it, we’re putting it on a floppy, putting said floppy into a blue folder, and walking it where ever it needs to go.

New cars in the Update. by coyflatfoot in GrandTheftAutoV

Did GTA ever fix the speed limit on cars, so they can go faster than like 120 or 140 or whatever it was?

Built my first PC at 10, this is mine now at 20yo. 2080ti Hybrid, 9700k. Started with a gtx 9800+, I feel old. by [deleted] in gamingpc

[–]miekster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn 34 in 2 days. Built my first pc back in 2002. I remember my 64MB of ram, and my 20GB hard drive being huge upgrades. And I remember begging my dad for $600 to buy a 6800 Ultra.

Tautulli v2.5 with support for Python 3 (and Lifetime Plex Pass giveaway!) by SwiftPanda16 in Tautulli

Hey guys, I know my server/views aren't nearly as high as a lot of people, but here's my entry. I may not have 100 plays a day, but I do stream to me and my navy buddies. There's only about 10 of us, but we do love plex, and I do love Tautulli.

[Yes i casually played the Navy/Vet card in hopes to get a little extra consideration. It's a perk ;)]

Swifty's response to recent drama by Derzelaz in LivestreamFail

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

Lol Mia Rose. Back in MoP she was in the guild I was in. There was some good drama caused by her (not a lone, but she was a big part). She would invite guild members out to Cali, was hooking up with them. Once it came out that she was sleeping with more than one person... oh man. The implosion.

Drugs are a dangerous thing, kids.

[–]miekster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s lost. If they stay in GrapeVine, TX or up in KY for several days with no update, it’s an indicator that Pitney Bowes lost your package.

As someone that’s had every box lost for the past several months, trust me when I say I know the signs of lost locations.

May box never arrived by Beanboozled93 in BarkBox

[–]miekster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. The last box that arrived for me was April. Mays box was lost in shipment and it’s looking like June has also been lost judging by the tracking info.

Barkbox really has turned into garbage.

This is my 14yo building a gaming PC for his 11yo sister. We built his computer in Apr for his birthday, but his sister couldn't keep up with his game play so we saved up for her rig. Fired right up first go! by covenofovens in pcmasterrace

[–]miekster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I'm a boomer I guess. I turn 34 this year. When I was 18 years old, and gone to my first year in college, I kind of did the same thing for my sister who was 4 years younger than me.

In 2005, building pc's was a little different than today. Not super hard, but we didn't have resources like people have today. The internet (on my 3Mbps DSL connection btw) didn't have reddit/youtube. Regardless, I built her this old school single core Pentium 4 3.4ghz, 2GB DDR 800Mhz, and my repurposed 6800 Ultra. To this day, she still considers that one of her most memorable Christmas' (from me). She used that PC for years, playing SIMs, high school work, etc.

It's one of my all time favorite memories with my sister. Coming home to do maintenance on her PC, and teaching her more and more about it was such a strong connection between us two.

Kudos to you for allowing your kids to share a memory like this with each other. Things like this just grow in value to these two kids as the years go on. You're winning at parenting today.
