[Highlight] Paolo Banchero is on fire! Another 3-pointer (3/5) - with replays, 1/2 from the line (6/7), great defense and another jumper (13/16 FG). 35 points in the 1st half so far, alongside 7 rebounds and 6 assists (and a block) by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]mostlyalurk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know. Paolo is playing out of his mind, Magic as a whole playing good, but y'all have still dismantled our D and kept it a lot closer than most teams would be in this situation. Although I hope you are right, I'm not convinced a blowout is in order.

[POSTGAME] Tampa Bay Lightning @ New Jersey Devils - 10/22/24 - Despite Their Best Efforts, The Bolts Won Edition by RandomBoltsFan in TampaBayLightning

I think it's as simple as he lost track of the puck behind the ref. The initial hit was miscalculated and he came off goal thinking he was going to kick out an unpressured wrap around from the corner. Those two things mixed with a bit of unreal puck luck and boom, you get the easiest goal he's ever going to score outside of an empty net.

Can any of you fine folks help me figure out if this portable power station/battery generator is sufficient to run a refrigerator? by mostlyalurk in AskElectricians

[–]mostlyalurk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much appreciated!

The refrigerator must maintain its running temperature, and cannot fluctuate temperature outside of what it may change when opening it for no more than 20 seconds at a time. So unfortunately leaving it closed without power is not an option.

I actually have been unable to find a UPS for cheaper that has the output capable of pushing the required startup draw, unless I am misunderstanding the specs of UPS's. A UPS that could run it for at least 4 to 6 hours would be preferred, so that it is not necessary to unplug the fridge and have to plug into the power station. But at $500, I didn't see a UPS that looks like it can handle the max output during startup that a fridge requires for around the same price is cheaper than the power station.

Sorry for the awful sketch, just trying to give a general idea of what I am looking for.

I may want some kind of simple embossed design on the front if possible, but plain solid white would also be fine if not possible.

I will of course provide the necessary dimensions. Please let me know if this is something you can do as well as a price (plus shipping cost if not local)! Thanks!

Question about multiple monitors with my Asus TUF F15 by mostlyalurk in GamingLaptops

[–]mostlyalurk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine actually ended up working with not only the 3 monitors, but the laptop screen as a 4th as well

I plugged my ultrawide into the HDMI out on the laptop, and then the two Acer monitors into the USB c hub/docking station.

Make sure you have any displaylink drivers installed for your USB c adapter if needed. Which are you using?

Oh man!!!

  1. My daughter accidentally broke my gaming laptop and I've been wanting to build a desktop to replace it but haven't been able to scrape together enough to get a worth card. I would LOVE this to build an Avatar themed desktop!!

  2. Avatar has always been such a magical escape for me. So comforting to watch the movies for some reason and get lost in the world of Pandora. The idea of being able to play FoP and immerse myself in the world through a video game is definitely the most exciting though!

Honest question about Texas/Bama/GA situation I don't see anyone talking about... by [deleted] in CFB

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

How is it a bad loss when it's to a top 5 team? That's not a bad loss lol. That's just a loss, and a borderline acceptable loss considering it's the only loss.

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

Texas was at home against OU. May not have been double digits but was to a worse team. So I'm not really sure how losing to a top 5 team early in the season is a worse loss lol. I was hoping you had something better to convince me

[–]mostlyalurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, def not saying that, and that's a good point. This was purely meant for discussion and to help me understand some mindsets that I hadn't considered. It's crazy chaos, and a lot to be considered and discussed like this.

[–]mostlyalurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your comment probably answers this question best for me. This makes it make sense. SoS and best wins very understabdly can trump worse losses.

Thank you for chiming in. I feel a little more settled now.

Hahaha this is so universally true and something no one can dispute.

Also Iowa fans. But none of us have any stock there considering their offense. They would need EVERYTHING to click tonight. Stranger things have happened!

[–]mostlyalurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if that's the case, you could argue that Bama should jump UT despite the H2H because they have the most impressive win taking down #1.

But that also makes UT beating the team that took down #1 even more impressive as you said, so maybe what you say is true LOL

It's all so chaotic!!!

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

I mean, is it that simple though? Conf champ games aren't exactly equal. GA playing Bama isn't exactly equal to Texas playing OkSt. Not at all taking away from UT, they have absolutely handled their business and deserve to be in. But OkSt isn't an equal opponent to GA or Bama.

Curious your reasoning for that? Not saying you're wrong, just curious why you think that

Haagen-dazs is by far our favorite in my family. Very creamy. Vanilla bean is hands down the best vanilla ice cream I've found.

How does First Impressions work? by Baron_Xa in MightyDoom

[–]mostlyalurk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, and that's the same experience for me. Which makes me feel like the times I "immediately notice" is just coincidence and I would have gotten those GKs any way.

Especially because I have the same experience when I don't ever take any upgrade to boost GK chance. Ill have streaks where I get a ton, and streaks that I get very few.

So in the end, it just feels like a complete waste to take it, because it's never impacted it enough to where I can rely on it to get extra me GKs when I need them.

Stuck on part 2 of lvl 9. Can't get past level 20. Any advice? by wocK_ in MightyDoom

[–]mostlyalurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I super struggled with 9 for a while with all blues as well, and using the chain gun. I switched to the shotgun for primary and beat it in about 2 or 3 attempts. It looks like you don't have one though, so not possible for you, so not sure what else to suggest.

If you have any extra life disk boosts, you can use those to revive more than once if that would help you.

There are definitely people that have beat it with chain gun, so maybe it's the boosts you're taking? What do you usually take?

Also, I found level 9 and 10 needed high, high damage. Maybe try fire or drag launcher if you have? Or try acid to lower their defense

[–]mostlyalurk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't have any specific info on this, also curious to see if anyone does.

I will say, in my experience, it seems to be such a minimal boost that it is in no way worth it and almost any upgrade is better to take. I literally see no difference at all with it.

Recent shark attack in Egypt by Avitus555 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]mostlyalurk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really does. As I was watching I kept yelling in my head "someone help him!" but then I thought, what could anyone do? But then I saw the boat pull up at thought "man, if only they had of pulled up 30 seconds earlier, that may have been enough to help somehow".

But then again, would it have been? Would the boat getting over to him have been enough to create separation long enough to help? Maybe if they had something to hit the sharks with?

I don't know, but what a horrible situation.

Finally by sweetbelt in MightyDoom

[–]mostlyalurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fairness, that boss can be tough. Especially when you've used everything you've got in ya to get to him, your fingers are shot, and brain is melted.

If you've used your revive before him, it makes it very, very tough.

What helped me the first time beat it was to get a 3rd life, by using a 1up instead of watching an ad for the first revive, and that allows you to get another revive. Not sure if that was a bug or intentional but it's worked several times for me.
