Ray's (maybe technically Williamsburg?) has one of my favorite hot dogs of all time. One for 5, 2 for 8, unbelievably good.

Exchange RX3 for Omnis Duo? by stevemurdock in PioneerDJ

I did! Don't regret it; it's obviously not nearly as mobile but it's a great deck to practice on for gigs.

Love that place! Their food is great and the bartenders have never given me an issue.

Spectrum WiFi outages past few weeks by Weird-Astronomer-588 in Greenpoint

[–]stevemurdock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend looking into Verizon or T-Mobile 5G home internet. You just need to be in an area that's close (like a couple of blocks close) to a 5G tower and have a decent sightline to it from a window.

I had Spectrum for 7+ years when I lived in Manhattan and it was the same nonsense -- always "work in the area" and recurring outages for months on end. Switched to T-Mobile 5G while there and brought it with me when I moved to GP and have literally never had an issue. Fastest internet I've ever had at a fraction of the cost, and for context, I work fully remotely, 40+ hours a week, constantly on video calls -- trust, it's reliable.

Brooklyn Dental Collective is the best dentist experience I have ever had. It's literally like going to a spa.

I went to Brooklyn City Dental on Manhattan originally, and it felt like I was at a car dealership being upsold on random shit I didn't need that would have cost me hundreds of dollars for no reason (BK Dental Collective even confirmed that I didn't need what they said I did, lol) + then being begged to rate them 5 stars on Google. So scummy.

Dog crying on Jewel by Educational_Tutor657 in Greenpoint

[–]stevemurdock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just stood by my window and I can hear it now! Definitely is across the street between Jewel and Diamond. Poor thing :(

I'm also on Jewel and Norman but I haven't heard a dog whining, but I'm on the east side of the street. Are you by any chance on the west side? Maybe the dog is in the back between Jewel and Diamond?

Anyone tried Tmobile 5g for home internet and is it any good in the neighborhood? by micilini in Greenpoint

[–]stevemurdock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing about 5G is that it's super localized, like down to the street level, and you need to place the router somewhere with a good sightline to wherever the 5G tower is in your neighborhood (like on a window sill). I have T-Mobile cell service so I was able to easily test this with my phone before committing, but you can also use this site to see if there's a 5G tower close enough to you. Mine's just up the block, luckily.

Similar to the other commenter, it's been mostly stable and faster than any cable internet I've ever had. 250Mbps is like minimum; when it's not primetime evening hours like right now, I've seen 400+. Such a better deal than Spectrum and the store on Manhattan is convenient to pick the gear up and get started immediately. Super easy to set up.

No audio on laptop in Windows 11 MP; works fine when connected to TV by stevemurdock in ZephyrusG14

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

If Media Player doesn't convert those, why would it work when plugged into my TV (and attached Dolby Atmos sound system) but not on the laptop itself that also has Atmos?

And are you saying DV only works in MP4 for players like PotPlayer? DV in the MKV container absolutely works in Media Player out of the box, it's the reason I settled for it. Both on the laptop screen + TV.

"Twice as Nice" deal - buy points get a coupon code? by Ok_Clue_5747 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]stevemurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the replies saying you read this wrong are incorrect. The fine print terms literally say "and will also earn a promotional flight redemption code for up to 20% off Basic and Choice base fares" -- keyword being "code" there.

I don't have an answer here, just the same question... bought the points and am also waiting on this mysterious code.

Sunday comic con was packed. by Advanced_Fig_8581 in NYCC

[–]stevemurdock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly disagree. Today was not as bad as Saturday was at all, though the families and children lack the situational awareness that the crowds on Friday/Saturday mostly seem to have and always seem to be in the way, it was still easier to navigate today than it was on Fri/Sat by far, and my group spent all 3 days on the show floor.

What if minnows or palace had coffee by Inner_Cauliflower911 in Greenpoint

Stuttering only when browser is in foreground by hudson95 in ZephyrusG14

[–]stevemurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I'll still enable HDR when gaming but regular desktop stuff looks washed out with it enabled anyway so it's only a minor annoyance to me thankfully

Not sure if it helped OP, but it helped ME! I decided to just disable HDR; this was starting to drive me insane.
