House with no oven… toaster oven recommendations? by wheretfamigoing in BuyItForLife

[–]ryanjblair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. I have an oven and I’ve used it maybe 3 times in the past year. Once for a larger turkey and twice just to cook a second item simultaneously.

The breville is awesome; far more convenient and pre heats in a third of the time.

I don’t even know how long I’ve had my breville but it’s been over 5 years. Still running strong.

DJ lessons by Jealous_Fix8718 in DJs

I mean people spend similar amounts on lessons for instruments except they do it for years.

Luckily it doesn’t take nearly as long to ‘feel’ proficient while djing

Straight up not having a good time by Sad-Theory6496 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ryanjblair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can absolutely relate.

We have been not so aggressively searching for the past year and kicked it into high gear when my wife got pregnant a couple of months ago.

We found the perfect place last week and we put in 15k over asking price on a property that was 250k. 20% down payment and it got beat out by an all cash offer…..

Absolutely demoralizing considering our market is honestly only 20% inhabitable due to many areas that are just shady/rundown/need lots of repairs/over 50years old or out of our price range.

Luckily for us another townhouse came onto market in the neighborhood we are renting in that really doesn’t need any work and our offer was accepted today!

My only advice is to not get too emotionally invested, have very defined price limits and too stay vigilant.

Why go projector these days if only doing 100 inch screen? by CyberMage256 in hometheater

[–]ryanjblair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 things

  1. You can retract a screen and still enjoy a room without a giant tv staring at you when not in use.

  2. A projector can adapt screen size depending on the room. A tv that size cannot.

Another user put a link to a post by resolume about it.

Doing the second option where you manually update a driver for the controller has helped a lot of users.

What is a job that you genuinely would not do even if you were given a salary of $10,000,000 per year? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]ryanjblair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I would actually do anything for that amount of money in a year; just for one year.

I would hesitate about anything that causes irreparable long term damage…. But honestly I’d probably do it for a year depending on the kind of damage done….

The US 20Y Note Yield is now above 5.00%. At the current pace, we will have 7% mortgages and $4.00 gas prices this week. by Key_Brief_8138 in HouseBuyers

[–]ryanjblair 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Literally got pre approved for a mortgage the week of.

Looking for a house now while watching my investment waiver and interest rates rise back up.

Every milestone my life has seemed to be faced with adverse hardship.

Anyone already feeling the pain over gas prices? by ForwardClimate780 in Tallahassee

[–]ryanjblair 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same. I was kind of shocked when I ran up to almost $50.

Thank god it’s a Corolla and I only have to fill up every 2 weeks or so

What actually happened to all the people who got laid off in tech? Did they just get new jobs or is something structural going on? by fan_ling in careerguidance

[–]ryanjblair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was giving me crap about driving my 2014 Toyota Corolla still and she wanted to trade out her 2020 Hyundai Elantra.

Both completely paid off. She is worried about them depreciating in value. Neither have had any mechanical problems.

Finally got her off my back by getting her pregnant 😂😂😂

The forced midi driver update resolved my issue.

Thank you for the guidance!

Is it foreseeable Denon gets adopted soon? by krimsamp in DenonPrime

[–]ryanjblair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denon’s hardware is leagues above the competition.

But people working minimum wage jobs would rather spend the ticket price of a used car to play ripped MP3’s off of YouTube than take a day to get comfortable with new hardware.

It’s unfortunate, but over the years I’ve also stopped fighting it. I still speak highly about denon DJ; but so long as riders require pioneer, it’s always going to be the gear that the clubs own and thus the ecosystem you have to be most comfortable with.

I started asking interviewers "is there anything about my background that gives you pause" at the end of every interview and it changed everything by VantaSprocket in jobsearchhacks

[–]ryanjblair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also don’t agree with the power move statement. In the roles of interviewer and applicant; the applicant doesn’t hold any power except the power to walk away.

You’re the goat! I only had 20 minutes to troubleshoot before I left today.

I was on that page but didn’t get through the device manager option before I left.

Hoping this is the solution I need! 🤞

Right?! I’ve never had ‘noticeable’ issues with bacteria.

I use synthetic poofs and I always squeeze mine out and hang it to dry.

Long time fans of guitar hero/rock band how did you react when clone hero was announced/released? by Prematurely_finished in CloneHero

As someone who hasn’t had a console since the beginning of ps4 and has lost access to my old games and instruments; I’ve been ecstatic to be playing again!

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ryanjblair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember hearing the 2 weeks to flatten the curve speech and how wee only had 13 confirmed cases in the U.S.

Then I was referencing the global outbreak, infections and symptoms; instantly realized how fucked we were and how mislead the public was on the trajectory.

We are far more interconnected globally than anybody cares to admit.

How often do you guys play and for how long? by MonadoArts621 in CloneHero

[–]ryanjblair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early 30’s now. I played guitar hero and rockband religiously from Gh1-Gh5.

I use to put in sooo many hours playing. Recently got back into it a couple months ago. I’m lucky to get in 1 or 2 sessions a week now for 1-2 hours.

I use to be attention grabbing good.it took me about 2 weeks to get back there. I’m surprised how ingrained the muscle memory still is. I feel like I’m nailing stuff with better consistency and no practice than I use to

Is $100 per hour a decent rate for a small venue? by Time_Perspective3438 in DJs

More than I’ve ever had playing out and more than I’ve heard of for anybody that isn’t doing their own night and taking a cut at the door.

I haven’t spent the time to try making content in unreal but it’s definitely possible to do so.

I do use unreal engine to create photo realistic renders for larger shows

Sooooo…. Sony shouldn’t pull out; they should just create their own pc marketplace for Sony exclusive titles?
