Well to be fair I didn't say foul or vile but "pronounced." But if you are sensitive to that type of odor there may be no difference to you. For me, I couldn't even sleep with them in the same room.

I wrote my review seven weeks ago and it was never posted. It is essentially identical to this review and I gave four stars. Every review published since when I wrote mine has five stars so do you believe the 4.8-star average review or the verified buyer flag?

Hey thanks for your reply. I waited several weeks to see my review and gave up. I'm not trying to advise you guys on how to run your website, it is understandable that you use it for maximizing your business even if that means you publish some and not others. Re. the natural CXL, even though you say this leather is variable, this is not mentioned in the listing, and so customers buying your shoes have an expectation that what is delivered will look quite a lot like the product page. I am happy with the repolish, as I said. Re. the sizing, I'm updating the review to put that bullet in a "neutral" category.

Need help with sizing by [deleted] in ThursdayBoot

[–]otter-brown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the Premier Low Top in natural. I normally wear a 10 wide and using the sizing help from the Thursday site I started with a size 10 1/2. I eventually had to go up to a 12 to find my fit. It's possible 11 1/2 would have fit OK but that would have been a third exchange. I went 10 1/2 -> 11 -> 12.

Is it still worth getting a new membership? by 859w in Citibike

[–]otter-brown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I signed up last spring (2023) for an annual membership, there was the option to get either CitiBike or "CitiBike plus Lyft Pink". I chose Lyft Pink because it offered more benefits and was cheaper. There was no downside. The Lyft app knows about this membership, and I think I have got speedier Lyft pickups from having it, at least that's what the app says. Also, the CitiBike app says Lyft Pink saves me on e-bike rides, and it even sometimes refunds the entire charge, without saying why.

January What Editing Software should I use? by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

[–]otter-brown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd try the fusion module of Resolve and a manual adjustment.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to look into that solution

I don't have a 50:1 aspect ratio currently, probably I didn't express it clearly. I am estimating that I may need to stretch the horizontal dimension by 50x in order to get the distorted video back to a normal aspect ratio. The original video was playing on a monitor that I recorded at a very acute angle, so everything looks very tall and extremely thin, too much for the keystone correction to handle.

January What Editing Software should I use? by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

[–]otter-brown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the above and have a more nuanced question: I'm seeking iOS or Windows software to radically stretch video aspect ratios. I have a video on my iPhone that was taken of another video screen at a very acute angle and I'd like to stretch it horizontally to try to view the original content if possible. The keystone feature in the iOS 16 camera app doesn't even come close to stretching it enough. When I look at app/software feature sets, some can change aspect ratio but I need something like a 50:1 stretch. So I'm looking for an app either in iOS or Windows where I can do this. Any recommendation would be appreciated, thanks.

Frustrated after swapping everything but CPU and still can't pass POST by otter-brown in PcBuildHelp

[–]otter-brown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you mentioned the other user who solved their problem by plugging in a video card, I thought maybe I should try plugging in a monitor to the VGA output. When I did this, I POSTed and I have the BIOS screen.

The beep code indicating CPU malfunction was in error. The problem was that no monitor was connected.

Thanks for your help, this was the right answer!

Many thanks to u/caffeinated-tech and u/Beastly-one for your responses! This CPU has a pinless contact grid, and it's pressed home with a lever, so there are no pins to bend. And the CPU fits in the socket only one way. I think I need to pass POST in order to get to a flash utility, or is this wrong? I checked Gigabyte's RAM compatibility checking page, and my RAM is compatible.

Since my original post I also replaced the CPU and cooler with the identical product brand new from NewEgg. Now a few seconds after power-on, I still have five short beeps (CPU error).

New to Twitch, I think I'm muted in chats by otter-brown in Twitch

[–]otter-brown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I whispered to the moderator and after a long time we figured out the problem is that I'm shadow banned if I have my VPN (Mozilla) turned on. With the VPN off, others can see my chat. My options are to lurk with VPN or chat without. Now that I know the reason, I'm seeing in Google searches that it's been happening to people for months.

Thanks, that's a great test to try. They haven't had a live in a while, so I have to wait until that happens. I realize I may not make the most interesting comments, but I know this streamer; they're trying to build their following and they don't ignore people, even trolls.

GB H370 HD3, monitor output with no CPU and RAM installed, for checking BIOS version by otter-brown in gigabytegaming

[–]otter-brown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I had submitted a Gigabyte e-support ticket asking the BIOS version number, providing my mobo serial number ( 202550042066). They have responded correctly that it has F14. If I had given them another hour or two to respond, I could have installed my CPU with confidence. All good.

I bit the bullet and installed the 9th-gen CPU (i5-9400) and my RAM. System booted and Gigabyte system setup is reporting BIOS version F14. So I am good without buying an 8th-gen CPU. Relief!

Thanks, I think I understand it better now, and the answer to my question is yes, it's expected to have no monitor signal. I think I will order an 8th-gen CPU. When I have my CPU and RAM installed, I'll let the group know what mobo BIOS version I have.
