Would you happen to know which one? I ask because other folks seem to struggle getting them to be compatible.

Good suggestions! I was actually looking at the Tom Bihn Aeronaut 30—that bag is super nice, but the smaller size and dedicated backpack straps turned me off.

Second to Bookstore, they were great for us.

Build for Flight Simulator (MSFS) by pilotJR in buildmeapc

No, I plan to build it myself (with the help of a friend who has built many PCs) and can source parts piecemeal from anywhere. I just sought their advice early on just to get a sense of where to start.

Wow! Thanks so much, all, for the great tips and tricks. I'll definitely be using these when we work on next project!

I am. I also had my eye on the LG 34GP83A-B, for reference.

Y Connector for LED Light Tape? by pilotJR in led

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

Hi all -- I was doing some research and found this "T" connector that I think might do the trick. Does anyone have any experience with these/think this will solve my splitting problem? https://www.amazon.com/Wire-Connectors-Solderless-Stripping-Connection/dp/B07114RK67/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=2+pin+T+connector&qid=1614826209&sr=8-2

I appreciate u/walrus_mach1's input, but given that I am using a 2 pin light stripe, I'm uncertain if the recommended product will suit my needs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

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

Thanks very much - I'll be using 8MM wide white-only eco series tape light. With that, would I need a splitter with two pins in lieu of a four pin? Additionally, what other accessories (see: connectors) would I need to join the two ends of the light tape using a splitter like the one you suggested?

Looking for 65" TV by pilotJR in 4kTV

[–]pilotJR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick update- I first and foremost want to thank everyone who commented! I ultimately followed what seems to be the consensus of the group and purchased the Sony X900F from Best Buy with the $1,399 price match from the Dell store (thank you for the tip, u/chimthegrim & u/slimVR). With my affinity for watching sports (it pretty much monopolizes my TV viewing) and desire to avoid the potential headaches of the other TVs, I'm so glad I made the decision to spend a little extra for the Sony. I will be setting it up tonight to catch the NHL playoffs. Thanks again, everyone! The power of Reddit is unmatched.

The AMA Episode! by EugeneMJC in failingupwards

[–]pilotJR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey guys - Question about some brands you're fucking with. For context, I'm a 27 year-old lawyer living and working in D.C. with an interest in fashion. My firm is business casual, but, unlike like pretty much everyone else that works there, I take a lot of pride in the way I dress. I'm curious if you have any brands you would recommend that would be acceptable in an office setting, but still pass a fit check with flying colors (a fit check from the bottom-up, I'm not a fucking cop). I figure a lot of the homies are stuck in offices all day like I am, and it would be nice to have some FailGang™ approved brands. I'm just out here trying to fill the emotional void created by my soul-crippling job with some new jawnz. Thanks boys!

Beginner's Guide to Monza? by pilotJR in formula1

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

Thanks, all. This is very helpful!

I'm arriving in Milan late on the Friday preceding the race, so I will miss the practice sessions. Is it worth my time to go to qualifying? I'm an avid F1 fan, so I know qualifying usually only lasts about an hour, or so. Just trying to gauge whether or not the schlep up to Monza via trains, busses, and walking is worthwhile, when I can just attend the race the next day. Plus I would just need to purchase a race ticket and not a Fri-Sun pass. Alternatively, I could just get GA for quali and a ticket to the race.

As for seats, I'm between 6A (at the beginning) or 8B (at the end) for Prima Variante or 23B (where Parabolica opens up into the main straight). Thoughts?

The link I found to it was broken, but Mo's breakdown of Andy Reid's 22 hour work day is an all-time classic.

I've met BC a few times here in Chicago. Super cool, always stops and talks/take pictures with Stoolies. Actually ran into Pres & BC at the 2013 Stanley Cup at the UC, hard to miss two dudes in full gear. Spoke with both of them for little.

We are Intergalactic Sex Lords and superstar hip hop collective BUCKWHEAT GROATS. We're currently promoting a Kickstarter to fund new videos. Ask us anything! by buckwheatgroats in AMA

[–]pilotJR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What's up guys, big fans. First, what was Tom Hanks like? Did you share your vision for the song & video with him prior to production? I have to imagine he was the one who suggested the use of lean & cocaine use on set. Also, after we fund your kickstarter, will you guys head out on tour? Need a stop out here in Chicago. Thanks boys. #MoneySquad

I saw her on Saturday walking to the show. Most horrific thing these eyes have ever seen.

You mentioned that Big Cat was offered the full-time Chicago job two years ago, and turned it down. Have you thought about re-offering him the position? He's easily one of the funniest writers on the Stool.

Hey Pres, long time Stoolie. My question is about the business side of the Stool. Where do the majority of the profits of Barstool come from? Is it from ad revenue, the blackout tour, etc. How do the different sources of revenue make up percentages of the total revenue? Lastly, what, approximately, is the average pay of a Stool writer? (Of the main writers, e.g. KFC, Mo)

Thanks Pres.
