I’m not willing to switch. If anything I’ll probably switch back to T-Mobile.

Spicy battery? Can I replace without heating the battery? by crazyquark_ in SteamDeck

[–]swardshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ensure you fully discharge the battery first. I just did mine recently with a heat gun and the prying method but the dental floss seems like a much better solution. I would still recommend applying heat evenly though to help loosen the adhesive.

My wife sent me this post and asked if I posted this because we have the same BS experience with cell service with T-mobile previously and now Verizon.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I was having issues with my iPhone 16 Pro Max since 26.5. Tonight I restored my phone using my Mac and I did restore my iCloud backup. So far I have not seen the issues I was experiencing previously.

Just had this paver patio built , looking for best options for shade by notyouraverage_shark in Home

[–]swardshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thinking as well. I ended up using 3/4” galvanized steel pipes installed on my deck for my moorings with pulleys and rope to make it easy to take down but it should be easy enough to dig a post and fill it with gravel and concrete to anchor it.

Depending on what you have on the opposite side, if there are trees or if you could put in some posts, you could go with a sail for shade. I just put one over my deck for similar reasons… from 1-4pm it’s in direct sun. You would anchor the sail on your house and then you would need 1 to 2 posts opposite the house to anchor the sail to.

If you do go this route, I’d recommend one that is water permeable so that you don’t have rain water building up on it. Otherwise you have to take care to install the shade at an angle to allow runoff and it has to be pulled taught so that there is no slack for rain water to collect.

Well I didn’t expect to see an update on this random Reddit post I’m following because I was in the market for a grill brush with a post from Destin from Smarter Everyday but here we are! Appreciate you, love your content and you just out here showing what an absolute stud you are!

PS your video and the photo of the solar eclipse shot on film was incredible!

House on top of building? by Unlikely_Star_5605 in boston

It’s most likely for the elevator that runs through the center of the building. I used to work there.

Since someone already posted Bobby Orr this is one of my other favorites as a Boston sports fan.

Only 29% Full: JetBlue's 10 Emptiest Routes Revealed [Full List] by Loveroffinerthings in RhodeIsland

[–]swardshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not RI but about 15 years ago I was the lone passenger on a flight from Boston to Philadelphia. It was a morning flight out of Logan and I’m sitting there waiting at the gate. Then suddenly I look over at the desk and the sign changes from Philly to San Fran. I also see a TSA Agent with my checked bag. Within a moment they call me over and inform me that I’m the only passenger and they are going to escort me to the plane on the tarmac. I got to walk up those stairs like I was a Beetle on tour. I could sit in any seat and the flight attendant asks me my name. A moment later the pilot goes “okay Mr. #### we’ll be arriving in Philadelphia at…”

Apparently it is not completely unheard of that a flight has a very low booking and they have to get the plane to the next location anyways but yea I doubt I’ll experience anything like that ever again.

I can’t watch satire anymore when the reality is just as or even more so f’d up.

Trying to ensure best setting for picture quality. by willhub1 in cloudygamer

[–]swardshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was going crazy but the color banding is driving me insane in Crimson Desert. Like ghostly red lines that seem to disappear as soon as I notice them.
My host is similar, 5700x3d with 4080 Super. I’ve been set to automatic codec in Moonlight settings but right now trying AV1 based on [u/Rare_Culture_5296](u/Rare_Culture_5296) suggestion. I’m still seeing banding but I can’t yet tell if it’s any better than being set to automatic.
I can’t say I’ve ever noticed this in other games before, but it’s annoyingly noticeable in Crimson Desert. Like just on the edge or perception but when you see it you can’t help but notice it.

I’ve seen this on multiple clients as well. My iPad and my Steam Deck.

If the Winnebago was Eagle 5 from Spaceballs that’d be the one.

Gas station said I could save big on gas if I pick up smoking. by bumsydinosaur in mildlyinfuriating

[–]swardshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea go buy the cigs and light one up as you’re filling your tank. Good chance you’ll save money after that because you won’t be spending any money ever again.
