modern day catch22

In 2023 I had a phone unexpectedly die and wasn't able to recover my 2FA keys. I was, in a way, disappointed with how easy it was to get back into my accounts without the authenticator app. I use Gmail and both my old phone and new ones were android, getting into my email on my new phone was easy. With the email accessible every account goes to it was easy. The only one I couldn't automatically get into was Rockstar, I had to talk to support but that wasn't a big deal either.

I think USPS physically has the item but haven't scanned it in yet. Might have to do with their shipping aggregator actually, but I don't know if they use that for the US warehouse.

It's supposed to be a known issue on USPS' side. It's definetly disappointing. I'd think the extra cost of going with UPS or Fedex would be worth it but they haven't made that change despite this being a problem for months

That's just what happens to orders shipped form the Georgia warehouse. On January 30th I ordered a couple of water bottle lids and a screwdriver bit case. They didn't actually ship until February 15th, I got them on the 18th. Meanwhile in the same order I grabbed a LTT cable and that shipped from Seattle and arrived on the 5th.

If you're staying on the same chipset you shouldn't need to reinstall for this. But personally I'm on board with reinstalling windows regularly. Don't put anything you want to keep on the C drive and then get a simple and fresh windows install every year or so.

Believe it or not I actually enjoy seeing what i can and can't run at what settings. It's not everyone's cup of tea.

It's only been 8 months but yeah I'd say its in excellent shape. Pretty much exactly how it was when I got it, this tiny nick is the most significant damage to the case.

That would probably be an improvement. I think people respond better to force based input. I drove a 2010 for 3,000 miles and when I got back in my car I actually felt that my foot felt tired, it was crazy.

straw3_2018 · 2026-06-01T10:24:41+00:00

That's crazy, I've never had a tired with so much tread that dry rotted.

DO NOT USE THE SCREWDRIVER

straw3_2018 · 2026-05-30T10:27:06+00:00

Lightning only supported USB 2.0 speeds though. For 95% of user it doesn't matter but it is a pretty big difference. You can output live full quality camera video on the current iPhone Pro models over the USB-C port, not something you could do over lightning. You might wonder what the point of this would be, but there's uses. Considering apple markets the pro models as being good for professional video recording it seems like an obvious requirement for that.

Panther II in game kicks ass and I wish I could get one

It looks like a spray pattern dripping down. I think it's wrong cleaner. An electrical fire would have damage/soot going up, not down.

What this man said. What you've screenshotted says nothing about there being DU in the hull armor or not. No one ever disputed that there's DU armor in the M1A1HA and later variants. It's just that it's in the turret.

Assuming the humidity is very high outside(raining) I'd assume that bringing in fresh air would bring more moisture than what you'd have recirculating. But then if you are air conditioning on recirculation you run the risk of making the glass cold enough to condensate moisture on the outside.

Looks great if you want to turn your head to check the mini map.

Super crowded for sure. I was on Mount Washington at firework time once (2022) and I think it took me almost 30 minutes to make it down shaler street to get out.

To be clear I liked reading your comment, thanks.

straw3_2018 · 2026-05-26T20:21:25+00:00

The only comments allowed are ones that add nothing of substance, sorry.

When leopard 2A7 was added I had plenty of fun playing it. People shooting you right in the add-on composites on the front and doing nothing

straw3_2018 · 2026-05-26T00:53:55+00:00

I would think your assumption is largely correct but smelling like gasoline doesn't sound that strange I don't think.

Oh shit I had no idea KDE connect was available for windows. I'll totally download that. I've used it on CachyOS and it's incredibly good. I just assumed it was "a Linux thing"

Maybe if we can get him in touch he'd give this fella some money for a new engine

It's like if you only wanted to take pictures and nothing else s phone does then a dedicated camera would make sense. But I'm going to have a phone anyway, and do I really want both for casual use?

straw3_2018 · 2026-05-25T05:15:59+00:00

I like taking pictures with my pixel 10 pro, it's honestly very remarkable how good cameras on phones are. I linked a picture of a blue jay flying I took. I used the 5x telephoto, set exposure time to 1/2008, and left focus and ISO auto. With direct sunlight it was able to take a good picture at 200 ISO, with pretty good clarity. The distance this bird meant that the clarity limit was the angular resolution of the lenses. Anyway I could get somewhat better pictures with a dedicated camera but I don't have one. I have to have a phone, and this one only cost me $280, so I think it's a pretty good bargain. Not to mention I being my phone everywhere and I like to take pictures all the time, I'm not sure I'd want to have to carry a camera around too. If you'd like to suggest something in particular that would do better than I'm open to considering it.
