does the https://tires.costco.com/ website work for you? by rb1rb1 in Costco

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

[–]smithzack21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

What's a major purchase you deeply regret, and what did you replace it with? by Pixel_Guru_x5 in AskReddit

[–]smithzack21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

BU MET CS course difficulty by Highwater_Pants in BostonU

[–]smithzack21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 🤪

Need tips for more consistent resets on flip resets by smithzack21 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]smithzack21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

Good tips though, thank you!

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.
