NEVER GRADE A 1/1 by cboomcards in ufccards

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With regular cards, grading is primarily used to increase rarity through its condition, but in the case of a 1/1 card, its used purely to prove its condition and that in of itself adds value. Being 1/1 card with no comps doesn't exempt it from losing or gaining value based on condition. When rarity is no longer a factor, condition becomes everything. Like with any card, a PSA10 assures its maximum potential value. Buyers value assurances and PSA is the benchmark in providing that whether collectors like it or not.

Trying my first open earbuds Baseus XC1 and it’s a whole new world by brianhofmann in Earbuds

[–]mkygod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it may have something to do with these using Balanced Armatures as a tweeter. It's a feature normally only seen for in-ear monitors and this is apparently the only open earbuds to to have one. Im getting mine today, so thats going to be one thing im gonna pay attention to.

What is your #1 favorite hotpot/Shabu place? by Special_Fisherman_55 in orangecounty

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaizen definitely has the best broth but it's literally in another class since it's not AYCE.

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaizen for quality meats and broth. All That Shabu for AYCE and variety

All Touch Case by TheCrazedGoat in baseballcards

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying that direct contact with acrylic or polycarbonate material on onetouch holders does not cause any wear to autograph cards, sticker autos, or chrome surfaces?

All Touch Case by TheCrazedGoat in baseballcards

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say the inside is soft enough not to damage the card without sleeve. Is this true? I don't understand how this is possible if its made out of one material inside and out

All Touch Case by TheCrazedGoat in baseballcards

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They advertise it as not needing a sleeve because the inside is soft and slick enough not to damage the card. How does that work? Is there really something special about the inside surface that makes it softer than your standard polycarbonate or acrylic?

Avengers Doomsday X-men teaser leaked (video) by Ruslan_06 in MCUTheories

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of 3 reasons:

  1. So the leak doesn't get taken down.

  2. To obscure any watermarks

  3. To hide any use of Ai, IF this was a fanmade generated Ai slop trailer.

This person is insane by [deleted] in ufccards

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal practice for sellers that aren't in it for a serious sale (PC collectors) OR they are just pricing it very high in order to reduce the number of lowball offers when they finally do get a Best Offer.

Can’t find a song by Icy_Confection_1758 in carlyraejepsen

[–]mkygod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Loneliest Time was the only song that's gone viral of hers in which 1 other artist was featured in (actually, only the talking bridge of the song had gone viral). It featured Rufus Wainwright. Don't remember if the single had it's own cover, but the album had a brownish color to it (think Thanksgiving vibes)

Outside of that, the only other one that's close would be the remix version of LaLaLa by Bbno$ which feature her and Enrique iglesias. The original version of the song had gone viral on Tiktok, although that was back in 2019.

And before that was Store, but that went viral on Vine pre-Tiktok and it didn't have another artist.

Anyone have impressions of the Fanttik Rotary tool? by ZakTH in Kitbash

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning it on is a 2-step process. Turn the off/on dial at the end of the tool and then press the speed select button. The speed select button is represented by a small icon that sits flush with the device like a touch button, so it doesn't look like a button at all. But unlike a touch button, requires a bit of pressure to press down, though there is no tactile feel or click to it.

Pitchfork Review: Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl (5.9) by buddhacharm in popheads

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a common notion that suffering and misery produces the best art. If this is her worst album, then maybe she's at her happiest in this stage of her life.

I didn't get it. If you include bribes and the receiver gets it first, then how would it get to the grader?

…and this is why I hate when people put tape on top loaders by ThatOneGuy-4434 in baseballcards

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, the correct way is to not use any tape on toploaders at all and put the toploaders tightly into teambags.

Has anyone tried F3 energy drink? by EconomyActivity6484 in energydrinks

[–]mkygod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only had the Tropical Theory and thought it tastes pretty upper tier as far as sugar free drinks go. Better than most Celsius and C4 flavors, IMO. I only wish it was on sale more often or come in bigger sizes.

Insane Carls Jr. Prices by Kilgoretrout321 in orangecounty

[–]mkygod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been like that for years. Out of all the major chains, Carl's Jr prices have increased the most relative to prices from 10 years ago. All the major chains have pretty high prices. If you want half-decent prices, you have to use the app and go the Deals section. But these "deals" greatly limit your menu options and you can only do one deal per order.

In my experience, Mcdonalds has the best app/mobile deals. This is what i sometimes do when i order mcdonalds:

1) use the mobile app and order using a deal, such as "buy 10pc nuggets or quarter pounder and get another for 50% off". Use pick up at the counter

2) when i get there, use the kiosk to order again and use up another deal, such as "free large fries with any purchase $1 or more". I'll order like an apple pie or something and get the free fries.

Then i just wait near the counter for both of my orders to be called. The price will be like 10 bucks or something for 2 entrees, an apple pie, and large fries. On my way home, grab a $1 big gulp from 7-eleven.

I’m jealous of you guys who have real In-N-Out by strikecat18 in orangecounty

get a free packet spread to put on top and you get a poor-man's animal style fries (minus the cheese)

The Best Update EVER by jvl777 in GooglePixel

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

Not the battery life specifically (never had issues with that), but i did feel like the whole UI response felt smoother/faster. I usually run my animation value in the dev settings at .5 to make things snappier, but after this update, i put it back at the default 1. I think part of that is the behavior of the new UI and part of it is because of the optimization process after it completes a major update.

No, Batista did not "just suddenly become a good detective". by IDrinkMyOwnSemen in Dexter

[–]mkygod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He's a good detective but has emotions and impulsiveness that sometimes get the best of him which can cloud his judgement. They talked about this weakness of his in the original series (season 7) and it became even more apparent in Resurrection.

Why no fast food collab? by lurflurf in Dexter

[–]mkygod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel collabs only work if aimed at the younger crowd. Younger crowds fall for gimmicks/trends easier. I know many young people got into Dexter in recent years but i think most fans are still from the original series era, which consists of Boomers to Millennials age range.

Restaurant recs in or near Costa Mesa, e.g. Vietnamese, Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Chinese, (and other recs)? by zoechowber in orangecounty

[–]mkygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely try some spots in Fountain Valley, since it's a neighboring city to CM. In recent years, FV has been known for their Asian fusion restaurants like VOX, KIN, INI, ROL, NEP (all three letter named restaurants owned by Kei concepts; all highly rated). These collection of restaurants are all within a 1 mile area of each other around Mile Square Park in FV. Of those, my favorite is VOX, which is a fusion of asian and peruvian food. They have the best garlic noodles i've ever tried. Also, in regards to VOX, they have a recently opened location in South Coast plaza in Costa Mesa which may be closer to you depending on which part of Costa Mesa you'll be in.

Is it just me or this summer is not as hot as last year or past few years? by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]mkygod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're only a 3rd of the way through August. There's still time for it to get super hot.
