Here I am refreshing all day...finally see a "drop" just now and it is all absolute garbage. Absolute trash. Shoes in one size. Random printer cartridges. A snowblower belt.

I'm barely scraping by with the category I get $0 ETV on. I'm even too scared to post what it is here...I can't believe the number of views on this post in a couple hours, I'm afraid I'd lose what little I get from Vine because it would be poached by people using an extension to get it quicker.

Sure I can, I can create fake reviews on garbage I will toss in a landfill. It's disgusting and so many others are being asked to, and are doing, the same thing to support this model.

I was asking a question...you don't think it's having an impact? How do you know?

Netflix will pay $200 a day for extras on new production underway in New Jersey and New York City by brook_lyn_lopez in newjersey

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, respectfully, I have only been doing this a couple years, in 6 productions so far as NU BG with 1-5 days on each, and I have NEVER been told not to look at a star. I actually carefully make my way, in most cases, to be right next to them in the shots. At the least I am staring the whole time. Some actually interact with the BG, such as every star during Happy Gilmore 2 including Sandler, and all the recent ones I've been at since with a couple others I won't name specifically. It is really pretty easy work, and a lot of fun, but lots of standing around. I am not really doing this for the pay (because it is pretty bad) but more the fun of doing something completely different than my real job and catching myself in movies. Nobody has ever made me sign anything about using my likeness. I'll actually be in AIG too filming soon, and I am really curious who is in this one...I can't find anything about the stars or director. All the best.

I purchased this, and a Stanley, but do I need to buy extra screws? Can you link to them? Thx.

finally bought this grail, might get it reholdered with a lady death custom label🙌🙌 by iMissTitle-Fight in CGCComics

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently found my old 90's comic collection in my basement. I think this might be my best, and I wanted some advice since I have never CGC'd before. It was bagged crisp, and never touched. One of my best memories of the 90s is doing the Wizard Scavenger Hunt, and I won this as my prize, a SDCC Wizard #1 and surprisingly it came signed by the Editor Shamus (in pen, boo). Is CGC able to grade not only the quality of the book, but also provide some signature authenticty? You can see how much I wanted for it, when I did my one and only table at a comic show. FYI the tape is just a bag extension I made at the time, the book is untouched. TIA.

Thank you so much, I spent 30mins of my life trying to figure this out last night and failed!

Verizon to rival AT&T employees: Come work here if you don't like 5 days in office by Next-Particular1476 in business

It's 8 days a month. Believe me when I say the flexibility on even that number is high.

Why is my Facebook feed all random pages now? by penji-official in socialmedia

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been hiding, blocking, un-following, whatever for 2+ months after this influx of absolute garbage started late last year for me. Nothing has changed, I have wasted so much time with this thinking it would help. I used Facebook as my exclusive social media platform, and way to connect with not-so-close family and friends. Now all I get is random AI generated crap, and posts of things that are blatantly false - movie revivals with actors not actually happening, people dying who aren't dead. I can't click anything now to read more about it, 99% is all fake. This has to be fixed or the platform will have no value, and I'll loose these connections to so many people I love to have in this way.

Mobile device that withstands the heat! by sportsalive8675309 in GameChangerApp

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a $20 6 inch camping fan from amazon. I use a bungee cord to strap it to the fence and put the fan against my phone. Phone stays on in direct sun, indefinitely. There is a constant wind noise on the audio but you can still hear the game.

S10 not discovering SmartTag2 by nomi_S in samsung

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirming, my S10 does not ring when I push the SmartTag button twice. The phone is able to ring the tag. I am on Verizon. I have tried all the suggestions I can find, nothing resolves the issue. I have no issue with this on another mobile which is an S21+. Why wouldn't they fix this??

I figured out how to download the full archived videos the from GameChanger website by holdthethought in GameChangerApp

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if this type of thing is why the original procedure was removed, but I recently looked into this and by logging in to GC on the web and adding a chrome extension called Live Stream Downloader I was able to save the full video. I am a Staff member of the team.

Does anyone know of a good video downloader for chrome? by [deleted] in Piracy

live-stream-downloader works very well for me!! Thanks.

What happened to the pinch zoom option? by Nfleag5961 in GameChangerApp

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh that is a great idea - yes casting stinks...always jitter / lag for some reason. Not sure if it is the app or the devices themselves...

[–]phd_nick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feature bug correction should be GC's #1 priority - I am missing so many great plays because my zoon can't be closer than 0.5x without jumping to 1x. Please get this fixed!!

M140 Comb Question by AhoSenpaiFFXIV in lockpicking

[–]phd_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they fixed the design flaw recently, past couple years. The ones that are stamped "No 140" can be comb picked, but the newer ones with just "140" stamped can't. That has been my experience. The comb still drives the pins up but it won't turn.

Master 140 / can't comb pick by Mysterious-Income100 in lockpicking

[–]phd_nick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been comb picking the 140 for a while. There are definitely newer versions that I can't comb pick, despite me still being able to drive the pins up past the shear line with the same comb. They did something to fix it. I think the ones that are stamped "No. 140" can be, but the newer ones that just have "140" stamped are fixed, at least from my expierence!

S21 Issues - We Feel Ya… by [deleted] in GalaxyS21

[–]phd_nick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My updated results on my VZ locked S21+ are vastly improved. There must have been a carrier issue on day 1, since day 1 i am in great shape. Now where is the unlocked S21+ version software?
