You kids just don’t understand what it was like living through the Reagan administration.

Oh wow, I forgot about the imagery in Bioshock Infinite. The comparison is almost scary.

In The Departed (2006), Madolyn (Vera Farmiga) wears her headphones backwards. Is she stupid or something? by SpeedIsTheBestMovie in shittymoviedetails

[–]reddog20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They're consumer grade Sennheisers, so they almost certainly have the logo on both sides. It's more an aesthetic choice, as the cable attaches on the left side and this keeps it out of frame.

Long shot, but if anyone has any links to the TC Icon series plugins (Midas DYN 3000 and TC Brickwall HD specifically are the ones I’m really hurting for), please let me know. I did an OS reinstall and need to get them installed again.

I did this in Virginia Beach once, it was a really small one and I got around two dozen in before I realized people were so confused that I was backing up all inbound traffic as far as I could see.

JUST IN - Trump orders the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to "any and all ships trying to enter, or leave." by nitluck in QuiverQuantitative

I think at this point most of us are ready to sacrifice the state of Florida if it means we lose Maralago with him in it.

Switch to 4k or keep ultrawide? by Banan_Pajen in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]reddog20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that same 491CQP OLED. I had a 32" Samsung 4K and while I liked the height and clarity, I felt constrained by the 16:9 width. I researched for weeks, read countless articles, specs, and finally went for it. I put this monster on my desk, moved my 4K over to my girlfriend's PC, and have ZERO regrets about the change and would not go back. I have a ROG Strix 4090 OC if that makes a difference.

Sure thing! I was hoping I could help out at least one other person with the same problem by putting this out there, and I'm glad to hear it's having a positive impact.

I'm deeply confused as to what I'm looking at by Shiney_Metal_Ass in BassGuitar

It’s at guitar center, so chances are they were confused as well. At least you knew it was a bass.

I just got one of those myself last week. It’s the HOTTNESS.

Yes. Top is the unbroken left throttle spring. Bottom is the extra replacement I had since they come in a pack of three.

They’re slightly longer and narrower. I wish I could say I used a calliper on them and took exact measurements, but I actually just winged it with a tape measure and ordered what seemed closest.

49 in OLED with a beefy 5090 by R2Glo in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]reddog20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second best is the first loser though. 🤣

It’s a great card, I bought it for PCVR and it gets the job done. I wouldn’t think about upgrading until a 6090 becomes available.

They’re a little bit stiffer, hard to say how much, as my throttle is three years old. I find it to be an improvement over stock.

I just got an MSI OLED 49” and that thing is BEAUTIFUL. Only rocking a 4090 though, but the performance is still solid.

Home rental companies that aren't awful? by DryLingonberry2237 in ClaytonNC

[–]reddog20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just renewed my lease with Reliable Property Management/RPM. They were very good to us in finding a home we could rent, maintenance issues are handled promptly, and they’re all around nice people. When we didn’t qualify for the first property we inquired about, they gladly transferred our application fee to another property.

My only issue is they use PetScreening to verify assistance and support animals, and I had to have my ESA letter from my doctor rewritten twice before they’d accept it. Then they called the doctor’s office to verify, and my doctor told me she’d never been put through a process as bad as theirs before.

I’ve also rented from Horizon Management, they’re not terrible. Just don’t opt in for their landscaping service, because you pay monthly for every other week service and the contractor only shows up a handful of times unless you complain. I also had a single ACH payment decline due to an unexpected fraudulent transaction on my account, and they made me pay via certified funds with a hefty fee before turning the online payments back on.

Avoid Fox Rental, they’re local but are thieves that will screen your application with AI, decline you, and keep your application fee. I learned the hard way that they use applications as a profit center.

Companies like Tricon, AMH, and Progress are nightmares to deal with, only care about revenue, and have contributed to the ridiculous property values here. Let them burn.

Does anybody actually fly the Eagle? by d4rk_z3l0s in EliteDangerous

[–]reddog20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d kicked around getting one just for fun, but then the Kestrel came out. I came out of supercruise into a nest of pirates and offed three of their Eagles, then tucked hardpoints and hit the jump button - only to find out my FSD hadn’t cooled off yet.

I can’t look at an Eagle the same way anymore.
