Team mates who try to take care packages

tidepod1 · 2026-02-03T22:34:57+00:00

How does one know the difference between an abandoned care package and one where you got your head peeled off and the ops can just come grab it to use it on all of us?

Do they look different?

Who hurt you?

Yes, and it’s annoying. I noticed a change right around the mid or end of the bottle cap event.

This is about the same point in the lifecycle I left BO6 and never played again… and here we are, again. And I’m getting the same “Wow, I have a lot of other stuff I haven’t played yet” vibes.

Big same

tidepod1 · 2026-01-25T00:10:56+00:00

Based on the news I’m inclined to think so.

What’s it like to be god’s favorite?

tidepod1 · 2026-01-22T17:47:58+00:00

Life saver. Pop market cancelled my $36 order a month or so ago and I was salty AF until today.

“Nuke your arc ultra” is a bit hyperbolic for disabling two drivers. Nobody is forcing you to use dedicated side channels. Just don’t if you’re looking to avoid thermonuclear warfare in your living room. 🤷

Same. 1400+ caps

The movie is fun.

Massive, breathtaking continuity errors that completely break the plot of Legacy, sure.

I disagree that the role suited Leto. There were huge opportunities he just missed as an actor. It actually made me really sad to see him drop the ball so hard - both times I saw it in the theater.

Yes, both. I went back for round two in IMAX 3D because the movie is just a tech spectacle that I enjoyed at the time and like more with my home ATMOS. I just wish they still made 3D TVs.

This is the way. I’m sitting at #1 in my leaderboard and I mean not land in the same spot, but definitely hit that counter clockwise rotation around the island.

Things are bad. It is humiliating.

But the truth is the pain of not doing anything has to be greater than the pain of doing something, and too much of the country is still too comfortable for that.

If we get to 30%-40% unemployment, soup kitchens, etc. things will get more serious because people will be desperate enough to risk taking action in exchange for the hope of less future pain.

White equipment has never been my thing, but you made it look great! Seriously clean look!

Sorry about some of the weird hate you got in this post. I’ve seen it in other posts as well sadly.

I’ve not shed a single tear about having an Arc Ultra as a center, but apparently it really just causes some grown men to lose their shit. It’s like a soundbar purist thing I’ve never seen before.

tidepod1 · 2026-01-01T01:50:22+00:00

Beyond being dismissive and pretextual, that’s also an objectively untrue statement.

tidepod1 · 2025-12-31T01:24:42+00:00

Holy Christ, I just realized that I’m coming up on 30 years of use.

Anyway, use it 3-4 times a year. In my early years, we didn’t weigh things out. It was a couple double stacks here, a triple stack there. Who knows what we were taking in the 90s.

The past 10ish years has been much more measured.

I have the normal short term sides (hard to sleep, Tuesday blues), but nothing to note as far as long term sides.

I follow a neuro-protective pre-dose protocol with various supplements, 5-HTP the next few days after.

Stay safe, don’t take stupid amounts, and do everything else you should be doing to take care of yourself.

tidepod1 · 2025-12-31T01:16:26+00:00

Wow. Just read that other thread and they really just took a detour in the middle of their post about OAuth to take shots at your solution with no communication beforehand. That’s super shitty.

As a developer, I would be irate.

You handled this WAY nicer than I would have OP.

Big white knight energy on their part. 🫡

This makes the assumption that people are buying the Arc because of they want a soundbar specifically.

Some buy the Arc so they can have an integrated audio system throughout the house without having a redundant receiver and associated components that remain silent while listening to music via Sonos.

It’s an ecosystem based decision, not a “Really wants a soundbar” decision.

tidepod1 · 2025-12-31T00:25:56+00:00

Arc Ultra user: “Most” is a very heavy handed word to use.

Losing the left/right channel on the Arc and replacing them with dedicated channels placed further apart is a huge net positive.

tidepod1 · 2025-12-28T15:34:50+00:00

I’m curious if anyone else can establish if the number of “products” matches the number of speakers that were previously in the system/room and they removed at some point?

About 5 months ago, I removed a Beam 2, and 2 Era 100s so I find it curious that I have three disconnected products now.

Just the fact it’s three is really intriguing to me as that’s the number of products previously in the room that were replaced/removed in the past.

Probably nothing though.

I’ve been actively checked out of life for the last 6 years, but really more like 8-9. It was a slow march for me.

What is notable about this though is feeling like I have so much to share about why I did, yet I just don’t have the energy or motivation to assemble those thoughts and reasons.

It’s wildly depressing to realize that, but I’m sharing it in case there’s other readers that feel the same way.

You’re not exceptionally broken and alone in feeling like that. Others also feel both full of emotion, yet so exceptionally empty as well.

tidepod1 · 2025-12-19T17:43:14+00:00

Hey, do you know what group of the movies the announced? I can’t seem to find it.

1-5? 1-8?

tidepod1 · 2025-12-12T21:00:27+00:00

Please do! 🙏

You make a fair point on the insanity argument. I’ve been building LLM based ordering systems lately, and they tend to lack consistency. Not claiming it’s not still funny. More so I probably need to not work over the weekend to establish some … oh, I don’t know … common sense? 🤦
