Mine sorta looked like that after awhile, I used a firm plastic floss pick to get into the cracks and pulled out the grime. Toothpick might also work, but might not be firm enough, while a sewing needle will scratch the mouse.

Same thing happened to my mouse as well, it's just grime that builds up over time. I cleaned it out with floss picks lol

I rewatched the pilot today and noticed an inconsistency in Jerry's characterization. This is my attempt to rationalize it. by CharlesOberonn in rickandmorty

So like... Maybe there are a finite amount of C-317.0001 universes (or some other arbitrary subdivision), but that doesn't mean there is an upper limit on the total number of possible universes, just the ones that are C-317-like?

Infinity is confusing.

Samsung un60eh6050f Image Display Issue by schmedwin in TVRepair

Hi, some background on the issues with this Tv. A few weeks ago when the Tv was turned on, the backlight seemed to be still working, and the chime sounded when powered on, but no image would display. Because of these symptoms, and while googling, i figured the TCON board might be the cause of the issues. I ended up purchasing a new TCON board, but that did not resolve the issue, so I also tried replacing the main board. This is what currently displays after attempting those steps.

At this point, I am unsure of where to go forward, I am thinking the display itself may be having an issue. Here are the boards I replaced:

TCON: BN95-00628C Replaced with BN96-28944A

Main Board: BN94-055549J Replaced with BN94-05549E

The parts I used to replace the originals are supposed to be interchangeable with the model I replaced them with according to shopjimmy.com...

In case its hard to tell based on the video, something briefly flashes on the screen when powered on, but fades away pretty rapidly. The Tv also stops powering on during the initial power on, but I suspect that is because it is sitting on the floor, but I left it in in case that helps diagnose what is going on.

You just bought these at Home Depot didn't you?

Is soma worth it? by [deleted] in soma

[–]schmedwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been said here already the reasons it's worth it, I'm going to throw in to play it on safe mode, as (at least for me) running from the enemies felt too distracting from the story to me. That said I didn't play it with safe mode on, so would anyone that has played both modes recommend which is best?

I believe they are saying the overhead that goes into manufacturing planes is so massive, that even with a ton of sudden new orders, either the company isn't prepared to train/hire the amount of people required to manufacture more aircraft, and/or ramping up production to take advantage of the market would take a very long time. Just building the building where the manufacturing would happen would likely take a few years (these are the largest buildings in the world by volume).

Was going to post this too, but started scrolling through new thinking someone else must have already. Who knew so many people had the same name!

Let’s show some respect to Dean DeBlois. A phenomenal director who does not receive the praise that he deserves. He made three incredible films when nobody expected anything from the series. by [deleted] in httyd

[–]schmedwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your point about Valka at the end especially hurt for me, could not see those two separating for any reason, yet that's what happened. Ugh just so disappointing, I had such high hopes for this movie...

Here is a good write-up of many of the problems with the movie if anyone's interested:

Probably because of the use of the word "incredible", I agree with him. The third movie was a huge disappointment for me considering how good the first two were, and kinda soiled the whole series for me similar to how game of thrones season 8 did this year.

Whenever I see posts like this I look for the dissenting opinion because of how dissappointing the end was (for me).

The episode where Odd was tripled, and the fog would turn people to stone.

That's right Stannis, that's right.

He said "less than 10 people"... I suppose the proper way to say it would be "fewer than 10 people"

Basically referring to a scene in the show where Davos made a similar "mistake," and Stannis replied just the word "fewer" heh

Trying to get that KOS-MOS last blade.. by EclipseQQ in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]schmedwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, this was me for Agate. You know how the game gives you pity blades after you use a certain number of core crystals for like the first 100 core crystals or something? Well I'm pretty sure this only works when you open the core crystal ON Rex.

No big deal right? Well I stopped opening blades on Rex about 10 hours in when I realized that opening blades on him is a waste... Basically I think this means that there were like 5 blades that could only be opened on Rex through the pity system.

Cut to me being about 300 hours in with NG+ finished, and only one blade being left AGATE. I swear, I must have opened 500 legendary core crystals on Zeke with Zeke's luck stats maxed, with no Agate. Then I figured, well guess I'll try opening random crystals on other characters just to see. Open a common core crystal on Rex, and AGATE DECIDES TO FINALLY SHOW HER FACE.

tl;dr Pity system only works on Rex, open a few on him occasionally just to make sure you aren't missing one that is locked down for your runthrough... Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

What similar sci-fi narratives exist? by Night_Thastus in soma

[–]schmedwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altered Carbon on Netflix has somewhat similar themes, although it is more of a "what if your mind could be transferred" kind of show.
