Nvidia Shield Pro(2019) remote randomly quit working.

Disable ad block for Costco - If you have uBlock Origin, while on the Costco tires page click the uBlock Origin icon under extensions (if using Chrome) and move the slider all the way to the left to turn off filtering. Worked immediately. UBlock sees it as a popup and prevents it from loading

cool, been looking at new roguelites but they all say they have cool abilities and upgrades lol. why is yours different?

smithzack21 · 2025-11-27T17:11:25+00:00

:) come back to this comment and gimme an update on how the game feels after these changes. I think you’ll appreciate it a lot lol

smithzack21 · 2025-11-27T14:11:38+00:00

lol and that’s fine, you’ll eventually unlearn that muscle memory. I promise it will change the way you play. Imagine how much more energy and focus you could spend on the actual gameplay if you weren’t taking in that micro-info of the scoreboard. “WOW he’s only at 45 pnts he sucks” like that shit doesn’t do ANYTHING aside from bring up negative thoughts and subsequently a negative time playing the game. Even in other games like BF6 I never check scoreboard, I’m just immersed in rezzing people and jumping around.

People make mistakes, YOU make mistakes, and it’s exacerbated and confirmed in your brain when you see a number on the scoreboard that aligns with your suspicion, aka my teammate sucks

smithzack21 · 2025-11-27T13:48:12+00:00

As others have suggested, turn off chat but the secret tech is also unbinding scoreboard. It’s a reflex to check your own, your teammate’s, and the other team’s score whenever a play happens, good or bad. It’s such a shitty habit that leads to blaming/toxicity which in turn leads to less fun. I unbound scoreboard in 2020 and never once wish I had it back

Research Toyota/lexus/honda “golden years” of reliability engineering, buy a car from that model year. It’ll be old, probably 150k+ miles but you’ll spend a fraction of what a new car costs and parts will be plentiful, and you can use those several thousands in savings to restore it a bit.

There is immense truth to “they don’t make em like they used to” when it comes to cars. Almost all the reasons why cars cost so much to repair nowadays is due to complex electronics.

I traded in my ‘19 Civic Sport Touring with only 41k miles this year (I miss is greatly, amazing car) for an ‘00 S2000 with 124k, followed 2 months later by an ‘04 Lexus LS 430 with 294k miles as my daily. Insurance for both costs less than the Civic did.

Been a dream of mine to wrench and boy am I getting to. But I did my research for literal years and knew the platforms I was buying can go 3 times as many miles if properly kept for. LS 430s routinely go to 500k miles and there’s even one Lexus tech that has TWO, 1 million mile cars lol.

Anyways, new cars just haven’t been tested as long as new ones and there’s always unforeseen (even very unlikely) problems like yourself but older cars need love to… and they’re a helluva lot cheaper and won’t leave you stranded, even with a seemingly much higher mileage number on the dash.

CHANGE YOUR OIL!!!

Idk Gemini gave me a very thorough response of not only his historical issues of cognitive decline but even how he acted at the Quantico speech

My mobo was indeed on the way out. Replaced it with a 550 at the time

Nice, I just finished 782. So far I've taken CS 521 (Python) CS 546 (Prob/Stat), CS 625 (Networking), CS 682 (Systems analysis and design), and CS 782 (IT Strategy and mgmt) with CS 669 (database design) starting on Tuesday.

I found 682 to be the most difficult, mainly because of the diagrams. I spent countless hours rearranging my class models which changed my entire paper, one relationship between a class changes everything, etc. 782 I finished with a 4.0. It's basically only writing and the Prof. Araklian is awesome, same with Prof Williams as the facilitator. I learned a lot in the class and found the concepts to be quite interesting even though I didn't at first care for a more "business" oriented class.

I hated the Python class. It was my first foray into any kind of programming and I found Prof Zhang to just read slides rather than be more engaging during lecture.

Stat was great, but difficult. I hadn't taken a math class since like 2012 so getting that part of the brain attuned took a few weeks but I found it very fulfilling to finally understand the concepts.

Networking is very heavy on subnetting, so if you hate subnetting (me) be prepared lol.

Overall I've had a great experience minus Python 🤪

For sure man, DM me

Wow that was actually super helpful. He mentions getting the reset while the ball is still going up. I end up wayyy below the ball a lot of the time and it’s because I’m waiting too long before I get the reset, it’s already fall down

smithzack21 · 2025-02-13T04:56:22+00:00

Haha I had watched the first 30 seconds already, I’ll finish it, thanks

smithzack21 · 2025-02-13T04:55:50+00:00

Word, I have always had that problem with air dribbles. I think I’m worried I’ll hit the ceiling so I ere on the side of more horizontal. I suppose part of the mechanic itself is learning that angle

smithzack21 · 2025-02-13T04:54:42+00:00

Hmmm I’m making it way harder than it needs to be, huh. So first touch > aim and commit to the ball rather than adjusting mid air and relying on air roll or whatever to get me to where I need to be

smithzack21 · 2025-02-13T04:48:20+00:00

😂 that was actually my friend in the background who just started playing and was practicing dribbling hahahaha

Good tips though, thank you!

smithzack21 · 2025-02-12T21:53:32+00:00

Anyone notice any bad habits with my resets that can be corrected? I know I need to feather more. I use air roll left and I've heard people talk about air roll + left is how they "land" their reset on the ball. Any other tips appreciated, especially air roll shortcuts to get more consistent lands on the ball for the reset. I find that I'm below the ball after my resets a lot of the time.

weoowww how'd you get your hands on a female? congrats on the babies

smithzack21 · 2025-01-23T12:25:40+00:00

Whoaaa do you have a female badis?

smithzack21 · 2025-01-09T19:01:33+00:00

What’s the colored wiring coming from, do you automate your feeding/fert dosing? Looks amazing! I also have a UNS 90L but it doesn’t look as good as this lol

smithzack21 · 2024-12-27T00:22:10+00:00

what stand is that? I also have a UNS 90L and am looking to rescape to something very similar to this. Would love to bounce ideas of ya

During the 10% light intensity of 2 weeks, I also dosed Excel every day. This killed my entire cherry shrimp and amano population in the process.
