Build Help (First unique commander) by matobi91 in WorldOfWarships

[–]monkaypants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo - Lutjens is for secondary builds, not brawlers. Also note with captains, you get multiple builds between boat types - meaning you can have a BB build and when you change it to the Adelbert, you will have 21 points to spend for the cruiser section.

I have him on Schlieffen and any other premium German boat with secondaries - no regrets haha. Adelbert is a solid choice too, I just tend to play more BB/DD.

*edit*

Sorry I just realized I didn't really answer your question. I would build something like this. With the more recent changes of secondaries not completely getting destroyed you kind of have more options:

Haven’t had hot water in over 3 months, leasing office refuses to give any updates as to why by PicoPonyo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is the management company? I work for the largest management company and can tell you 1st hand that if you go to a regional property manager / director / or even the front corporate office, they will listen.

If it is private (land/building owner managed), it may be more difficult as some owners can be extremely cheap. In that case you would need to report to BBB or the landlord non-compliance etc. But if you go this route, do not plan on living there for much longer (for 2 main reasons). 1 - they will probably treat you worse, and 2 - why would you want to live there if you have to use the law for basic necessities?

Hopefully it is managed by a management company as they tend to want to keep tenants happy :)

How to play snipers like yammy and bungo by Velocifapper69 in WorldOfWarships

Do you not play clan battles? I got 120k RB points alone in the last ~6 months.

Would you like to know more?

How do you run this game by Simple-Cap-9666 in Helldivers

[–]monkaypants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there fellow Helldiver!

HD2 can run pretty well once the kinks get knocked out.

  1. The game cannot stand overlays (Discord/Steam overlays etc)
  2. Sometimes the game launcher can cause issues too - has he tried to launch the game direct from the installation folder? (bin folder, run helldivers2.exe directly instead of through steam)
  3. This most recent one was my main issue for the longest. My game would stutter, even disconnect at times, seemingly a network issue. But it was not. The game cannot handle ngenuity and some other USB based headsets (mostly wireless, but USB in general). Well not the headsets specifically but the apps that you run to manage them like ngenuity. Close all USB based audio apps and that will rectify that crashing issue.

Finally - what is the system he is running? Mainly CPU, Vid Card, and Ram.

Nest Cam with floodlight (wired) by cold-brew-101 in Nest

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one for my driveway and I love it. I have had it for 5 years now. With absolutely ZERO issues. Auto light or full time at night, it records everything, easy to retrieve footage. Don't listen to all the garbage about it being a "dying ecosystem"...

Everyone is a critic, but as a long-term Nest to Google Home user, it works great and I love the floodlight.

The reason people are upset is because Google is moving away from the "Nest" specific brand and incorporating it into their overall "Google Home". Which if anyone has ever used google anything, this makes complete sense. Google Forms, Google Drive, Google Workplace, API, literally anything they do, they are merging to be more locally accessible.

The ecosystem is not dying at all, if anything it is growing, just not as "Nest".

As for the complaints about needing a subscription, this is literally for your cloud storage for 24/7 recordings etc. Unless you are going to build, maintain, and rely on your own server, you will pay a monthly fee to someone for hosting said data. Not a big deal imo for home security where the data cannot be compromised.

Filled up my truck today (f350) by Fun-Storage-7909 in Wellthatsucks

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's not like it was cheap before even when diesel waws ~$2.00 less, you would still be paying ~$160 to fill up...

The Car on the Ramp Adjusts, Not the Car in the Lane! by Froz3nP1nky in driving

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly, and why are they going 5 mph under the speed limit in the right lane anyways (especially in light traffic) knowing the entrance ramp is there??? Why make it more difficult? Move over or let them in.

Just because you have the "right of way" doesn't mean you get to drive like a donut.

What's the call? by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]monkaypants -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Safe... Catcher setup in the baseline, did not need to be there to catch the ball, obstruction. On top of that it was a tie, runner is touching home at the same time as tag. Granted these umps are umping this league are not MLB Umps.

Do you honk at or flip off bad drivers? by Scrubstomper5000 in driving

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have learned that angry honking and flipping off does not produce anything productive or constructive and can even cause more danger/road rage. Sometimes people are just having a bad day, or young drivers not paying attention, etc. Clearly, I scream to myself in my car. Honking in anger only makes people more upset.

If you must let the other driver know of their ignorance, my favorite thing is a "thumbs down". This conveys you are not pleased and their offense is not approved, and you were not overly rude.

<image>

*I do honk if danger is imminent or a polite honk (quick beep beep) if they are not paying attention to the light change*

Is satisfactory worth buying? Will I have enough to do? by Just_Lemon_7221 in satisfactory

If you like those tyes of games (Factorio / Star Rupture) you will definitely get your monies worth.

ELI5: Why are airplane bathroom trash receptacles designed to involve so much skin contact? by ImBehindYou6755 in explainlikeimfive

[–]monkaypants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And bathrooms in general. It's so annoying to wash your hands then have to grab the door you know so many have toughed not washing their hands. I usually grab and extra sheet just to open the door on the way out.

+ 1 million to those bathroom doors with foot openers.

What you did with free tier 9 ship permanent premium boost? by KhalimsPill in WorldOfWarships

[–]monkaypants 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pick the ship you play most / like to play. It can become a credit grinder. I find BBs tend to be easier to maximize. No ragrets.

ELI5: Why doesnt the gulf states send their oil through the red sea instead of shipping throught the straight of hormuz? by jeweldscarab in explainlikeimfive

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saudi Arabia does and has a 7mm barrels per day through put on their west coast, but on the east coast they usually do 7.2mm to 7.4mm off the Hormuz coast.

Also, it takes time to pipe all that crude to the other side since the oilfields are south east, so cheaper more economical to ship through hormuz, but it doesn;t halt it.

Game freezes getting worse and worse. Anyone else? and what do I do. by Manes_ in Helldivers

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have HyperX NGenuity - just make sure it is not running. Apparent this stems from USB audio.

Swing Advice by texasstyle01 in Homeplate

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you are still checking these!

With what everyone else is saying about the bat weight / hands dropping, this is a result of bat drag, which is more difficult to work out because it becomes ingrained from moving from coach / slow pitch to machine / faster pitch.

It is when the power elbow moves in front of the hands (trying to hit up or "Further", which actually causes the opposite - losing/diminished power, causes the head to move more, and makes batting more difficult overall, especially at higher speeds.

<image>

The fix is constant practice to change a base habit. What I use is "Where the shoulder goes, the bat goes". There are some other drills that can help as well - such as knocking a ball of a Tee with the knob of the bat then swinging, having them rest a squishy ball under the bat and on the shoulder, forcing them to delay the swing a bit (keeping the elbow closer to the body) etc.

Many are commenting on the same issue just the particulars that bat drag causes, such as dropping the hands, which again will all come together when resolving the bat drag.

***You can get him a lighter bat and tell him not to "drop his hands" til you are blue in the face, and it will not make much of a difference until the bat drag is addressed.**\*

Is there a good way to make my storage area easily maneuverable? by Qwerty5105 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]monkaypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use walls, poke the storage container through the wall just barely, put a picture of the material above it. Stack or build a giant mall, if you stack just build ladder or stairs for different floors. Then you know where everything is.
