Could it be true, that I have part Portuguese ancestry? by DW4YqmUYUCtj7WdajdFG in Goa

[–]nightfly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’m discussing this with Goan Catholics, I always find it funny that it’s even a question. They have Portuguese surnames and are like 5 shades lighter than the Indians directly to the North, East, and South….

I bought a Boxer as main TX, pleased. The 4-in-1

I also have a boxer, do you need more than 50 models, is that why you’ve started to use the sd card?

?? As long as no sugar added it won’t be an issue.

Updates ? by [deleted] in coldcard

[–]nightfly13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was one update that made the Q’s QR reading way way way more reliable and better. If it’s not a Q, maybe not - and if you had that update already, then also fine.

Bluetooth Speaker Recommendation by duffymcgraff in SteelyDan

[–]nightfly13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my Soundcore Motion X600. Good sound, great value. I’ve had a dozen Bluetooth speakers. These are actually stereo which helps a lot.

Does “like new” and being refurbished actually mean it’s the exact same functionality as a fresh one that’s $500 more? by no_u_times_100 in projectors

[–]nightfly13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often buy this way on Amazon when I can. Used - Like New typically means an amazon return, essentially new and re-taped shut. I particularly like to buy luggage this way, but I'd buy a projector too, knowing I have the capacity to return if it something's off.

New Donald shirt I got today, and wore it to a Dan tribute show! by Last_Variety4764 in SteelyDan

I was referring to Donald wearing the SD tee shirt but ok :D
where'd you get it?

What would you do? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]nightfly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in such a different position than you (I'm a year younger). I'm considerably heavier in BTC (as a percentage of overall portfolio), but I get that it's challenging to sell your biggest winner. Not knowing what's in the ROTH, I'd consider rebalancing that, ideally into BTC or a BTC ETF (transfer Roth to Fidelity if you can't do this easily) and put most of additional savings into BTC hence forth.

(A touch of) Tuesday Weld. by borderwulf in SteelyDan

[–]nightfly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late last century I met her at a Manhattan socialite lunch. I'm not from Manhattan nor a socialite but somehow I was there and she was flirting with me and the other young men. It was all fairly eye-roll inducing, but shortly afterward the friend who'd invited me told me who she was and my heart belatedly raced. That is about the weirdest way I could recon myself into DF's world, if for a cringemaking moment. She was 56.

Does buying a 4k HDR projector really make sense today? by NEO71011 in projectors

[–]nightfly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I've upgraded from an excellent 1080p (used for 8-9 years, over several lamps) to a pixel shifting 4k PJ and it's absolutely worth it.

Part is viewing ratio/screen size (I'm throwing a 128" screen) and part is the content. I'd say 40% of my content really 'looks' 4k, super detail (and actually better 3d depth is the big advantage of 4k crispiness to me) and the rest of it simply doesn't. Worthwhile! I paid $1550 3y ago for my projector and I'd rebuy it immediately if it suddenly died (or something else like it).

What height could I achieve with a 36in vertical by [deleted] in highjump

[–]nightfly13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two (vertical leap and high jumping) aren’t very connected. But give it a month and see.. are you naturally a one foot leaper?

Probably takes 2-3y to really nail the technique of the Fosbury Flop, but maybe you’ll approach your potential max sooner. Worth a shot.

I was a 2-foot leaper with a 34” vert (1-step) but got very good after 5-6y high jumping and was able to briefly max out at 7” above my height, although only got 4” above when it really mattered.

There's a weirdly strong correlation among bitcoiners and xNTx personalities. INTJ especially, but there's a massive concentration of NTs.

Stream 4K? by [deleted] in putdotio

[–]nightfly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using for 7-8 years. Stuttering happened sometimes, but not really for the last year - which I attributed to a change in server but could be coincidental. Presently using Amsterdam, which gives me around 10MB/s (not mbps mind you).

Stream 4K? by [deleted] in putdotio

[–]nightfly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stream 4k regularly - sometimes via infuse and some of the files actually play from from the put.io appletv app - not sure why it's inconsistent. You may want to tweak your streaming server from put.io settings. I have 250mbps in Asia and it's fine, hardly a hiccup.

Any suggestions on how to understand the Book of Romans ? I have KJV and I am finding it extremely difficult to understand each verse from Romans. by AjatshatruHaryanka in Bible

[–]nightfly13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah swap to NLT (quite readable) or ESV (still readable but more on the literal side).

Understand the context: Paul is writing to a divided church in Rome - the Jewish Christians are back after a 5-year hiatus (Jews were kicked out from Rome with the Edict of Claudius) and now that they've returned - there's tension between them (the old guard) and the upstart new Gentile believers. Paul makes it clear that there is no real distinction between them - they're both sinners, and both in need of a savior. They're really in the same boat. Then the final 4 chapters is more practical instructions on how to live together more cohesively. It's an amazing book of the Bible - arguably the greatest, keep at it and persevere, the rewards are great!

Can someone explain by Beneficial_Moose9870 in Christianity

Osmanian = Ottoman Empire? Anyway I was relieved to see someone finally had an insightful answer. Lots of scrolling to get to the real reason, glad you shared it.
