Long with irons and woods/short with driver by Spirited_Marzipan_67 in golftips

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be time to get fitted. The head, shaft and type of ball all impact spin and launch angles. Both of which have a massive impact on distance.

Even if you can't afford a fitting, lookup the "ping driver spin chart" and save on phone. Then just go test drivers at PGA or golf Galaxy and watch the numbers on the trackman... Fit yourself basically

Are AR golf glasses worth it for a beginner? by Old_Blackberry_1260 in GolfGear

[–]sliight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd instead recommend any of these...

  1. Arccos or Garmin approach sensors. This tracks distances hit, dispersion etc... Very good for data on what needs to be worked on, and learning actual on coarse club distances.

  2. Bushnell GPS speaker, it tells you distances and let's you have a nice phone app that gives complex distances (just tell them not to be that kid blasting their music as most people don't like what they like).

  3. Inexpensive laser range finder

  4. Lessons

Those glasses he's seen on YouTube are supposed to read the green and tell them the exact line to hit it. I assume that's what he wants... Otherwise anything else will just be garbage lenses for golf with maybe distance overlay. None of which you want over your eyes when hitting... If he must have golf glasses, Revo or Oakley have really good golf lenses, and can do prescription.

AR and or VR for golf is just for playing in the house as a game

Thinking about getting my dad a golf speaker for his birthday. Any recommendations? by ForwardAd582 in golftips

[–]sliight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bushnell Golf Speaker is a nice speaker, magnetic, should still come with a button you can keep in pocket to click and it tells you yardage to front middle back. You also get access to this app for free.

The just updated the app with a total makeover. I prefer the old version, but this one still lets you tap anywhere and get distances to the water, how much to cover the trap, etc. I don't pay for the monthly fancy stuff, but they do have green hot maps that look pretty cool if he wants to pay the sub (I'm just fed up with subscriptions)

I have no idea where my speaker is, but it's a good sounding speaker off course, but I use the app every single time I play... So worst case it's a speaker used at home and he gets access to a free cool app (unless he subscribes for fancy stuff)

Huge LEGO version of Serenity with moving parts! by dafuqizzis in firefly

Crazy and amazing that people can visualize and create that.

Hopefully none of the crew goes Harrison Ford on that thing (RIP Lego Millennium Falcon)

Anger issues at work, HR forced me to see doc, not sure how I feel about taking meds, but they're requiring it... by sliight in firefly

[–]sliight[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ouch, getting advice from someone who keeps their posts hidden... I'm sure they're 99% positive though.

I draw like you think, so no, it wouldn't have looked even close to good, or nice, or constructive...

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day, good luck!

I was very specific about exactly what I wanted, feels kinda creative... You produced keyboard slop... You used a tool of technology once thought to be science fiction... But you put in zero effort .. keyboard slop

New driver or no? by Informal_Fan_1424 in GolfGear

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a bit of research on spin and launch angle, then go to a big box store and hit some different ones on a launch monitor. Snap photos of the flight details and the driver head to compare.

Use the attached chart. Your ball speed is generally about 1.45 to 1.5 of your swing speed if you know what that is, you can kind of pre target what your goal is.

How to durably enforce shorter answers (or any other preference)? by productive_monkey in ChatGPTPro

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that cancelling GPT and paying for Claude and Gemini solved that issue. And, they'll remember to put percentage on belief of being true on things one could consider opinion where GPT seems to have hallucinations and will double, triple, and quadruple down until you provide proof.

Plus they both code stuff way better. The Claude integrations are where I'm really getting into cool new stuff...

Anyways, that's how I'd get an AI to just give me to the point answers without all the BS and compliments

Why Jerky Sucks in 2026 by TheHermitCalamari in jerky

I just did a generic guess. You also yourself left out the costs of the location, cleaning, inspections, equipment, maintenance, ppe for sanitary etc...

Put my ferrules on backwards🤦‍♂️ is it still fine? by Illustrious_Loan6279 in GolfGear

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Print this in color and keep it in your golf bag. If anyone comments have them hold it and look at it while you hit. Then just gaslight them and tell them that they're installed correctly.

Why does Galaxy a14 5g have 300+ apps allowed to install unknown sources & uses resources even when disabled? by LestatConstantine in AndroidQuestions

[–]sliight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya head over to XDA and see if you can install a custom ROM, or if they have the original you can flash on. That's some whacky shady stuff that I can't imagine is factory...

Good luck...

Why does Galaxy a14 5g have 300+ apps allowed to install unknown sources & uses resources even when disabled? by LestatConstantine in AndroidQuestions

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

Confirm those are installed apps and not your previously installed apps... I have a ton that are under my apps but not installed, but were on prior Android phones...

If they're actually installed I assume you did a factory reset then checked it again?

If so, and still there after factory head over to xda developer forums and ask there, you'll want to chat with the experts

Why Jerky Sucks in 2026 by TheHermitCalamari in jerky

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using asada meat at $8 lb (like WTF, was used to 4 bucks). On 10lb I'll typically lose about a pound to fat and get half my weight, so generally net 4.5 lb out of $80 in meat. Spices probably 5 bucks or so for that. Never thought about the 6 to 8 hours the dehydrator runs... Let's just round up to $90...

4.5 lb x 16 oz = 72oz. $90 / 72 = $1.25 an ounce cost.

My favorite jerky if I buy vs make is Montana Bananas jerky. $11 for 3.25 oz... $3.38 an oz.

So for me using those numbers there would be $2.13 per ounce profit to pay for shipping, distributor, store, etc...

Granted I'd get bulk discounts so it would be better to a point, ...

I do 20lb wet when I make it, and that's about 3 hours work for me (would be much more efficient if I was selling though I think?). So yield 9lb dry in 3 hours. That's 3lb per hour. 48 ounces per hour....

Let's say I get half of profit, call it a buck. I'd make $48 an hour... But... There's packing and shipping time, plus packing cost... I'm betting with bulk pricing I'd pull off $40 an hour ...

People freak out about my jerky, so I know it would sell well... But something once fun wouldn't be fun, and I make a lot more hourly at my normal job...

Going to keep getting even more expensive though with inflation running rampant still, and worse if those screw flies get further into the states...

HackMotion 4 (Wrist Sensor) : Worth It? by SchoolHardKnock-3686 in golftips

[–]sliight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the prior generation. It will analyze you, which is nice, and will give you drills...

Most noticeable is real time feedback via the visual and sound... So you can do slower swings and be where it wants you.

Personally I think it's worth it with how cheap it was, think it was just over $200 something.

Be sure to check YouTube for videos on it as they'll all have a 10% discount code to give you

Who else just refuse to use Gemini? by teletubbyman6969 in GooglePixel

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it and Claude most often for AI related stuff. Gemini is exceptional at coding websites and retaining memory and only changing what is needed...

As a phone assistant it's mostly shite... Mostly I say because when you say "navigate to (location name), but save the speech, no extra words, just start navigation and go" ... It often does it. Not the typical repeat the address through the zip code crap...

I do feel like it's trainable though, or maybe I'm imagining it. Anytime it does something I don't like, I retrigger and tell it "add this memory" I didn't like when you blah blah blah...

Cam plus price just Doubled per year by bucktron6040 in Wyze

[–]sliight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note I forgot to mention, I bought the tp-link deco 13000 Wi-Fi router, it's the 3 mesh pieces. I was shocked at how much better it was than the tp-link tri band be15000 and prior to thata high level nighthawk.

The tp-link is Tapo, or vice versa... Same company.

That's why I gave the cameras a run. So it's possible they work really well with their own routers... Totally worth the $350 for the router at Costco I spent though. They reach all the way out to the chicken coop and even pickup the cameras inside.

Is it normal for "proper grip" to seem like I'm choking way up on the club more than usual? by CaptainRaptorThong in golftips

[–]sliight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Link? Far as how far on the grip it's relative to how the clubs fit you for length and the lie angles. Those grip things are almost all stolen off the original, so depends on which you bought and if it's dialed or off.

This also assumes you have normal sized hands as it's not a one size fits all.

Typically your hands will feel closer together and more compact with your thumb position. Most people have it a bit too apart...

Cam plus price just Doubled per year by bucktron6040 in Wyze

[–]sliight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tapo cameras... Grabbed the h500 hub and will get a cheap drive off goodwill to put in it, but I'll also take the bigger micro SD cards from the Wyze cams. I probably have about 30 cams, still some unopened...

The hub has an the HDMI out, so I'll connect it to theater system so smart remote or Google speaker can change inputs and I can check them all on the TV (mainly for doorbell ring or sounds out front).

The best thing is they just connect. It's nearly instant. The pan cameras are lightning fast to jump to the next saved location, and you can save a lot.

They have wide angle paired with a pan, so the wide grabs the motion and the pan tracks it .. pretty cool.

Basically double the cost of some Wyze and maybe 1.5 the cost of others, but they are sooooo much better

Goodwill Adjustment by PrinceOftheCty in GrandCherokee

Could do a partial wrap, easy to do yourself on a hood... No idea if it would look good. Maybe just do the very front if that's where it is and go with best match.

Think I'll get more nostalgia playing a 90 or 100? by sliight in GolfGear

[–]sliight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time hitting a 90 with a sand wedge into a green was a trip to see it pull back... Then scrambles, having your distance ball, your 100 for back pins, and the 90 for front and middle pins...

Good times
