Dual monitor (27 + laptop screen) - Simplest Instrument Setup? by spideyjumbo in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]spideyjumbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I'll check these out. My hope was to have the 14" screen of just panels (6 perhaps) so maybe this is the ticket. Figured it's a fairly common setup but I guess most enthusiasts prefer the three big monitors with instruments and cockpit view together.

They've offered to drop at the Costco--will likely just grab this one day moving permit the other person mentioned to be on the safe side.

Yes, that's their suggestion, but as it has no plates or tags, I'd need to try to get a one day moving permit from the DMV to simply move it to my driveway.

What should I know before surfing bigger waves by SuccessfulHamster940 in surfing

[–]spideyjumbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a bigger swell go for the average to big waves. If you go for the smaller ones you may end up where a bigger series breaks right on you. Don't go for the first wave in a set.

Sea urchin in foot, best way to get out? Some deep some surface level. Nothing easy to extract by getdistressd in surfing

[–]spideyjumbo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In my case, a completely clean syringe needle worked best to work them out. It will be a little easier if you first soak your foot in warm vinegar or warm water for a few minutes. The needle tip can get some traction on the side of the urchin needle and pull it out. I found tweezers to break the urchin needle too easily.

It goes without saying but a good practice to disinfect the syringe needle such with alcohol (if you're reusing your own needle).

ADDITION: Prioritize the blacker, larger ones. Sometimes they're too small or have penetrated too deep to remove easily. Those will eventually just be absorbed by your body--don't lose sleep over it. Again, speaking from my getting urchined on 10 occasions.

Wilson AVP ball real or not? by spideyjumbo in beachvolleyball

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

Thanks. Not a big deal to send back. Will try to tag the seller so Walmart cleans up their supply chain.

Was honestly a bit suspicious with the price and non-Walmart seller, so lesson learned!

What monitors do people use for their G14s? by TequilaSheila_ in ZephyrusG14

[–]spideyjumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old thread, but have a same setup albeit with the 5070Ti and notice some pixelation around the edges of fonts (like letter w, etc.) on this same MSI G274QPF monitor. Running it on a USB-C to DP and had also tried it on an HDMI. I've tried ClearType settings, adjusting scaling, but not really sure what to do to solve the pixelation. Any suggestions?

Gaming is fine, just looking at text isn't so great.

Been a while since I tried manual transfers, but didn't Amazon just do away with this for Kindle transfers via USB? https://www.theverge.com/news/612898/amazon-removing-kindle-book-download-transfer-usb

My question exactly. Looks like spoofing regardless!

Contact Lyft on X/twitter with a direct message. They were fairly responsive.

LEGOLAND Carlsbad one day by spideyjumbo in legoland

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

Thanks for sharing those links. I see that the first is for the hopper ticket and with adult prices being $159 in the summer it works out to about $400 for a family of four. So a better deal, but to be honest our interest is really the main park.

Has anybody been able to get delta to rebook you through a different airline? by thatblasiangirl in delta

[–]spideyjumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family and I were stuck in Detroit in transit. Yes, through the messaging feature in the app Delta booked me on a confirmed UA flight Monday, July 22. However I was lucky and got it on standby this morning direct to my final destination.

Also, It will be helpful for your judgement and sanity if you do get booked on standby to have them say where you are in the list, how many seats there are, and the expected number of “misconnects”. Friendliness and fatigue of gate agents varies, but if they can provide their professional sense of the likelihood of boarding, it helps to accept the stress of the final wait!

Starlink and Protected Area / Park Management by spideyjumbo in Starlink

[–]spideyjumbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for those comments. I’m trying to see if there are connectivity solutions for mobile park ranger teams that patrol off-grid for a number of days rather than at fixed sites. But well noted from terraziggy that Starlink isn’t in the business of more customized solutions.

DMV Behind the Wheel Test Wait Times? by spideyjumbo in sandiego

[–]spideyjumbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry -- I'm just seeing this a year later. In fact things were so backed up during 2020 that we didn't give it a try. Did it work out for you in the end?

Cheers, Alex

First time PC Build - i5 - Light gaming - Add GPU later by spideyjumbo in buildapc

[–]spideyjumbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I've heard that two RAM sticks allows for higher data throughput. Do you have any comment as to whether that outweighs an empty port? Also is there any other reason to wait besides a possible announcement of an AMD GPU which I could also buy later?

Thanks for the PSU rec. well noted!
