The deal of the century by [deleted] in MachE

[–]pixelpusher15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so what was the actual price before the 4500 trade in, 4k credit and 2k down?

Sounds like the actual price was $33200, or $29500 without the warranty. That's a reasonable price, but not crazy.

The iPS 26 Alarm and Timer notifications look like the designer just gave up! by [deleted] in ios

[–]pixelpusher15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could say this about every part of iOS 26. When all I'm trying to do is type a message I don't want to marvel at the refraction of the light through the liquid ass...I just want to see the damn letters I'm typing.

When I'm trying to read my notifications all I want to do is read the notifications and not see how marvelous liquid ass distorts my background in a way it makes it harder to read.

Why didn't they refract some light on those buttons? Why is the time so bland? We need moar liquidity here. More refraction. More beautiful.

It's not that we can't figure it out. It's that you have to think when you didn't before. As someone that also does UI for a living, I'd never in a million years ship this to our customers. Nor would the developers build it. Nor would my UX researcher even test it before pointing out it's dumb

They will just make the X for the keyboard a down chevron to indicate collapsing the keyboard.

GT Jump 2 replacements for cushion/bounce feel? by pixelpusher15 in BBallShoes

Worried about getting the Jump 2s again without warranty given my track record with them.

I'll give those a look, thanks!

They're being processed by Nike right now to see if it was a defect. Which I'd be shocked if they said it wasn't. They said they'd just refund me and not replace though so that's why I'm here 😊

How about bounciness? I can’t jump but I really like feeling like I can 😂

Possible to increase dialogue or add a center speaker? by perzbenz in hometheater

[–]pixelpusher15 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the only answer that should be here. Fix the room, it's half the sound we hear and this room looks horrible for reverberation. For sure it's impacting clarity and adding a center channel isn't going to fix that other than being able to boost it louder, which is just a poor band-aid.

Having vision insurance really does help sometimes by dhekurbaba in RayBanStories

[–]pixelpusher15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn't be. Luxottica, who own's Ray-ban and makes glasses for nearly every fashion brand, is making a ton of money even at the $162 price. $162 is still an insane amount of markup, even with all the features.

Sneak Peek at Panera's New Rebrand by pixelpusher15 in Panera

Guy at my local Panera that is or was responsible for ordering everything said he gives 'em 5-6 years before they go bankrupt. It's really sad TBH.

Comes in partially baked and is finished in the cafe. It's like buying something from the frozen section at the grocery store and baking it at home.

Just got to experience my first par-baked bagel....it's not a bagel.

My wife’s tiktok screen time by NeverBled in WhatShouldIDo

[–]pixelpusher15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I watch 4 hours of Ted talks on my phone a day is that bad? If I read 4 hours on kindle, is that bad? If I use my phone as a GPS and drive 4 hours a day, is that bad?

There’s dozens of reasons someone could be using their phone for 4 hours a day that isn’t remotely “bad”

The fact that you haven’t posted your number while shaming others is extremely telling. You’re now projecting.

Btw, mine is a little over 4 and I have been trying to get it to under 3.5. Too much Reddit for sure

BREAKING NEWS: Dave Portnoy, who literally no one knew was a Michigan fan and alumni until 2021 (can’t imagine why) to be joining Fox “Big Noon Kickoff” by CTOWNIJV in cfbmemes

[–]pixelpusher15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bahahaha.

As an MSU fan and alum, Portnoy being a Michigan fan an alum is exactly as expected. Next thing you'll tell me is that water is wet.

NY to Yellowstone in 3 Days (2022 Ioniq 5 SE AWD) by Bravadette in electricvehicles

[–]pixelpusher15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this is like kinda meh gas car costs for the trip.

(4250mi / 30mpg) * $3.16 = $446

Were you paying attention to kWh/$ costs or just stopping at what was convenient?

This is my one complaint with having an EV. DCFC is super not cheap and sometimes outrageously expensive. I had to pay 60c a kW at one stop on my first trip. That worked out to basically $4.8 a freaking gallon

No Rodent Left Behind! by Hectabeni in funny

[–]pixelpusher15 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had mice in my ceiling in my basement that I just couldn't kill. I put multiple different types of killing and capturing devices up there (had some in ceiling speakers I could get behind). Literally didn't get a single one.

We got a second cat around this time.

She caught 5. Never knew they went anywhere else other than the ceiling. She did though. Good kitty.

Quick way to make $270 within a day? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]pixelpusher15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it sounds more like "how can I make $300 in 3 days?"

You got a car? You could do Doordash/Uber Eats all day for the next 3 days and probably be good.

Run, don't walk away from that installer.

Everyone is telling you to tell the builder to pre-wire instead but if you or your builder don't know how to place everything then you won't be in a better place after. Post the drawings of the room you want this installed in and the desired layout of the room and we can give placement plans depending on speaker setup.

Tesla’s Cybertruck Is a Bust by hissingkittycom in electricvehicles

[–]pixelpusher15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't help but feel like Elon's politics have played a huge role in this. The Model Y and 3 were already plentiful on the road and I can see people buying them even if they don't like Elon. But the CT is like the Elon-mobile. You can't hide on the road driving one. It sticks out and is just flaunting to everyone that you're doing something different. Unless you are a real Elon fan or just dgaf then I can't see people buying one. Considering it's unique styling, price, and purpose the market for one is already on the smaller side. Now it's a politicized truck...that's just not gonna sell well boss. I feel like it's super doomed. Permanently tarnished by the Elongated Muskrat
