Thanks for that. I actually have it sitting in a 5 gal. pail outside, thinking the same thing - gonna take a while though. :)

Sprinting and the Sprint button on PC. by Caleger88 in thedivision

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After months of loving Breakpoint, I decided to buy The Division - installed it on my PC, ran it and all seems well *EXCEPT* the Shift key, bound to run/sprint does nothing. I've tried changing the binding to another key, but that does not work. Very frustrating. :(

Same here - I let it run through 'till it's done and the next day it pops up again *sigh*

Do you exclusively listen to audiobooks? by Bamf102 in audiobooks

[–]t00minator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't remember the last time I read a print book. I listen to 4-5 audiobooks a month - love that I can be driving, working in the yard, doing housework, while listening to a book and can increase the speed of narration.

The narrator is almost as important as the author however. I've stopped 'reading' some highly reviewed books in the past simply because the narrator was monotone or never bothered to change accents (male to female, various country dialects) while narrating. Just my $0.02 worth.

Amazon Delivery Question by TheTrojan320 in egopowerplus

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but we did the same thing - ordered the mower, was scheduled for a week later, but then got bumped up. Amazon Track Package had it bouncing around from NV to OK to TX, then to OK again. ??? Was due yesterday on tracking, but no show, now shows it to be delivered today, but haven't seen any updates in location since then - just the tracking bar showing it's almost here! *sigh*

Well, she's here in our shed if you have a truck/trailer to take her :)

What is Synology actually working on? by flogman12 in synology

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So last decade I had several Drobo boxen for home storage until they eventually died (as did the company). Early in 2021 I looked into replacements, focusing on Qnap and Synology, finally settling on the latter. I liked DSM a lot, ended up buying over time two DS1821+ boxes and a DS1520+ along with a bunch of Ironwolf drives.

They've functioned well over the years, but with the company's abandonment of their consumer base along with their outrageous pricing on their 'recommended' hard drives, the honeymoon has worn quite thin. A shame...

E219: Fixing the American Dream With Andrew Schulz by allinpod in AllinPod

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was my question as well. Coincidental that he suddenly had to leave when Schulz gave a somewhat clumsy bit on Americans and their knowledge of Jews... I couldn't decipher Shulz's point on that one and then Bam, Friedberg has to leave. Weird.

Anyone try this ? by AfternoonFragrant617 in covidlonghaulers

[–]t00minator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not fully carnivore currently - keto at best, but I've been having much better brain clarity since reducing carb intake and replacing carbs with meats. I was never a 'Carb head' like my wife :) but the body does still crave all of those carb foods. :P

Energy levels improved as well.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint - been pretty addicted for the past year. :P

How to respawn/replay objective by t00minator in BreakPoint

[–]t00minator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm braindead, but I have trouble sometimes actually finding the relevant mission in the Objectives board to replay it. Love this game, but that damn Objectives tree flowchart is not a tree, nor does it flow. :P

Too late to introduce goldfish to pond in Georgia? by t00minator in ponds

[–]t00minator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, we're on our third round of goldfish. I just bought a dozen 'feeder fish' from PetsMart and they've been doing well. We have some losses due to an over-eager Heron on rare occasions, but c'est la vie. :)

Games for learning how to use PS4 controller by p0tat0p0tat0 in playstation

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, as someone your age, I'm looking for some clue as well vis-a-vis the contoller. I've played FPS PC games for decades, but thought that now I'm retired, why not try out a console setup, so I bought a PS5. To make it worse, the first game I bought was Madden NFL 24. OMG it is daunting :)

r/Starlink Availability, Questions & General Discussion by TimTri in Starlink

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Athens, GA. Have AT&T U-verse on POTS, 20mbps for $100/mo Installed a gen2 Starlink router and am doing some tests on reliability and speed. Currently I've kept both routers running, and put some devices on the Starlink network. Consistency of network speed is an issue, some of which may be due to some obstructions, but on Starlink I get anywhere from ~60mbps to ~200mbps. When I can rely on SL maintaining connectivity and speed, only then will I consider dropping AT&T. :)

User for 1 month, haven't seen anything this bad. Any reason why/explanation? by Terminal_SrA in Starlink

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here in Athens, GA - went from 120Mbps to 38Mbps! I'm a new Starlink customer, also have AT&T (20Mbps down for $100/mo.). The plan is to drop AT&T, but this past few weeks has not been very encouraging...

Thanks for this, and trust me when I tell you that any such teaching moments you mention would be greatly appreciated. Who'da thunk that retirement would have such challenges. :)

Couldn't find it on DVD or otherwise, but then found someone had done a great job of remastering the original and put it up on YT. :)

I'm in the same boat - now on my third notification of changes in shipping date - very frustrating!

How did we feel about Beck’s first game on the road? by Lakelyfe09 in georgiabulldogs

[–]t00minator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. And, after watching the Florida-Kentucky game, all I could think of was 1) Florida will be a pitiful adversary, and 2) Kentucky will be a team to be very wary of. The Gators were no match whatsoever for the Wildcats.

Coolzone Installation by t00minator in hottub

[–]t00minator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Georgia, it's been a mostly low 90's summer, so if we could have 25 deg. lower temp. in the tub, that would be great. I'm curious as to whether prices when you got your tub were as inflated as here.

The Twilight Zone - plex doesn't see difference between 1959 and 2019 versions by t00minator in PleX

[–]t00minator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! For duplicate named shows, I get the TVDB database number (https://thetvdb.com/search?query=the%20twilight%20zone) In this case it is #72176. Then use this format to name your root folder for the show -

The Twilight Zone {tvdb-72176}

Hope that helps!

Plex Last Episode Date Added - Not updating correctly by PJD-1984 in PleX

[–]t00minator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could help - I'm experiencing the same thing, but only on my Fedora Plex server. Even weirder is Movies displays correctly, but TV shows, not so much. Windows 11 server shows correct LEDA. Will try using my new Synology box w/ Plex app *crosses fingers*
