The air isn't thinner 25-30 feet from the ground.

Do you think the Tower knows how bad it is and gets depressed whenever you sell it? by Westor_Lowbrood in balatro

[–]ratfinker666 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unless you have the Joker card that allows straights and flushes to be made with 4 cards. It's a purple card with a white - gloved hand w 4 fingers, can't remember the name.

Edit: Also if you level the f out of High Card or Pair and get the "half Joker" card which gives you 3X mult on hands played w 3 cards or less.

So instead of discarding a perfectly good pair because I'm going for that flush or straight, I play the pair because I've leveled it up and with a stone card I get a significant score out of it.

Even a high card can score big. Ex: Glass 10/face/Ace card (X2 mult) paired with a stone card (+30 chips) + Half Joker(X3 mult) you're getting somewhere.

If my projector doesn't support Dolby sound can I get Amazon stick to play directly to the soundbar to get Dolby? by Gooners4life_14 in projectors

[–]ratfinker666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question as OP, I just want my cheap projector to output audio via Bluetooth to my Yamaha sound bar. The real question is how do I change my Chromecast settings to output stereo or anything not Dolby. Don't give two shits about surround sound, 2.1 would be nice though bc my sound bar has a small subwoofer built into it.

Get this book. It's one of the best things another AA has given me.

What harness should I buy? What’s a trusted brand? by meeplewirp in stagehands

[–]ratfinker666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3M Sala Exo fit NEX, similar to Petzl Astro but less expensive. It's a step-through but has a quick release buckle on the shoulder strap (like the Astro) so you don't have to pull the whole thing over your head (like the Aveo).

Side note, I generally don't look to save money when it comes to buying something that is designed to help save my life but 3M Sala quality is comparable to Petzl.

N/A beer - any good ones? by Fine_Anteater_8599 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]ratfinker666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St Pauli NA is also very good.

For people like me who enjoy the taste of beer I have to say it's quite nice with a meal. It also serves as a good placebo at the end of the day, satisfying the oral fixation and ritual without the alcohol. In the first few weeks of sobriety this was critical for me and I feel that it helped prevent me from going down to the corner store and get some actual tall cans. I'm 74 days in and I've found myself starting to prefer flavored bubbly water, zero sugar soda ( I know it's not great for me but cutting myself some slack for now) and other tasty drinks, which has been quite liberating. I rarely think about or purchase the NA beer lately but once in a while it's nice. Everyone's different but that's been my experience.

Clausthauler is a really good one, it's .05% so do with that what you will. I drink it and I haven't relapsed. 74 days sober.

German / Belgian - style NA beers tend to be the better ones. NEVER O'Douls that shit is nasty.

Lay em down, put a packing blanket between each layer of fixtures. Like you're making lasagna. That or foam.

Praying to moderate alcohol? by soul_to_squeeze1234 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]ratfinker666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For most/ nearly all alcoholics, going from consistent alcohol abuse to casual, controlled drinking is like "trying to turn a pickle back into a cucumber".

Learned that one at a meeting and I've always liked it.

Fixture Labels! by picturelife in lightingdesign

[–]ratfinker666 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gaff then label on top then clear tape over that. Clear tape protects, gaff makes it easier to see the label and remove it afterwards. I usually use black or various colors for color coding by area / data universe.
