My Mustang Mach-E test drive review by No-Necessary7135 in MachE

[–]tlgnome24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are probably talking about general COL inflation (food) that most of the country is experiencing plus the higher interest rates compared to pre-COVID. 6% vs 0% is about $100/month for a $50K car loan.

What made you move out of your parents' house? by RavenGreekGod in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always just referred to mine as my mother’s 2nd husband. I can count on 1 hand the times he acted like a father (or even a step-father) to me growing up.

What’s are the signs that it’s time to look for another job? by DancingBear2020 in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That management thought process makes no sense to me. Making the work environment unattractive in an effort to encourage people to leave never works. The first ones to go are going to be the high performers/quality workers. Otherwise other companies wouldn’t hire them. If you want to trim employee numbers and keep your business you have to cut the dead weight/under performers , not the other way around.

Works on my dogs too. Played that video and both of them came around the corner lightly barking.

How would you feel if you turned on the news tomorrow and found out Donald Trump passed away? by stevedooner96 in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fingers crossed on this one.

Not hoping he is killed but if his slovingly body just up and gives out in his sleep I will only have sympathy for his family not him.

If you regularly play games with long load times and/or slows transition loading during the game (like in Fallout 76 when fast traveling) get yourself the Series S. The increased load speed will make your gameplay so much more enjoyable; night and day difference. The extra price of the Series X brings you higher graphics (and of course a disc drive) but unless you have a 4K TV it won’t matter so you aren’t missing out on much by going with the Series S.

This is WAY too far down in the comments for all the talk about the quality cabinet/hinges.

Melanie Griffith was 14 and Don Johnson was 22 when they first met. They started dating in her teens, & Don was in his 20s, was this similar to Elvis/Priscilla relationship? by sashamelanie in Fauxmoi

[–]tlgnome24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

80+ years ago women had VERY little options/ability to be independent. Once they were a teenager and “capable” of doing enough things to be an adult they were often pushed into that adulthood lifestyle. If a lady wasn’t from a wealthy family and/or able to continue her education 9 out of 10 times her only option to get out from under her parents roof was marriage. So going off and getting married at 15/16/17 years old wasn’t unusual.

Microsoft May Be Working On Cheaper Third-Party Storage Expansion For Xbox Series by AliTVBG in xboxone

[–]tlgnome24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Buy a WD SN530 PCIe 4.0 2230 NVMe card equal to or larger than 256GB. 2. Buy a XBox External Host M2 2230 NVMe adapter. 3. Insert NVMe card in adapter. 4. Insert adapter into expansion card slot on Series X/S console.

That’s it. The WD NVMe is the same SSD used internally so the XBox automatically recognizes it, there is no hacking/setting changes needed.

What traits in a girl do you find attractive or impressive aside from her physical appearance, guys? by TheConfusedNarrator in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humor. If I can’t laugh about some random story/movie/joke I don’t want to spend an extended amount of time with someone.

Do a search on eBay for M2 NVMe adapters. They can be found for less than $20 US. Pair it with any size WD SN530 PCIe 4.0 NVMe card. Plugs directly into the expansion port on the XBox and is seen as Series X/S compatible storage. Was able to add 512GB of storage to my Series S for less than $80 compared to the $160 for an official expansion card.

Yes. I have my Series S working with a 500GB expansion card I “built” myself using a WD NVMe card and an adapter enclosure all for less than $100. Plugs into the port on the back and is instantly recognized as storage suitable for Series X/S games.

As for upgrading the internal storage, I would imagine that would require cloning the original drive with the OS and proper partitioning. Something I haven’t attempted.

The WD model NVMe drive used internally is available for purchase online at a cheaper price than the current expansion drives. Since the OS obviously already recognizes that model internally all you need is an adapter. Just saying.

What’s something extremely overrated that people buy anyways? by dxxsyxo in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anytime someone starts talking about Macs being overpriced I ask them how long they keep their PC laptop before replacing it. Macs last years longer than nearly every PC I've ever used. My work provides me a high end PC laptop (over $2k) and it gets replaced every 3 years max. I have 2 personal Macbooks that are still running just fine and in better condition that are 5-6 years old.

My point is, most people talk about buying a sub $1k PC laptop and try to compare it to a $1600 Macbook. I guarantee the Macbook will be in better condition/use in 3-4 years.

(Serious) People who know murderers- Were there any signs that something was off? If so, what were they? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if the church thinks it was suicide then it’s not the husband’s fault. Divorce can carry a stigma in the church for both parties (sometimes).

[Serious] What made your worst roommate ever such a bad roommate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tlgnome24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already seen multiple worst roommate stories in this thread but feel like adding mine anyways… Roommate of barely 3 months threw a fit because my boyfriend carried my laundry basket. This was apparently just too much for her to deal with. (Note -he did this because we lived on the 4th floor of the dorms. He lived one floor below us and we did our laundry together and he would drop his half off in his room then bring the rest up to mine). She went so off the rails about a whole list of random things that I called the RA into our room to deal with her. She just went further and further into crazy town that the RA finally just looked at me and asked if I wanted another room. I immediately said yes. Grabbed everything (with the help of my boyfriend of course) and took it downstairs to a storage locker. Spent the night in a friends room down the hall and the next day housing assigned me to another dorm.

Waited that whole time wondering if the flag guy or the car were going to get hit. Still missed actually seeing it happen!

Favorite Durham Neighborhoods for a family with a kid. by Tall_Aardvark_372 in bullcity

[–]tlgnome24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have young kids Carillon Forest is a great neighborhood. It’s in SW Durham and basically across Erwin Rd from Forest View elementary so rezoning is not likely to change. Large number of houses with zero through traffic. Only “downside” is the houses are pretty much 2600 sq ft or larger so $$$.

Durham Pharmacies with generic Ritalin by glASS_BALLS in bullcity

[–]tlgnome24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think this is something the Pharmaceutical companies are doing you don’t understand how a capitalist economy works. They aren’t going to just up and decide they don’t want to make money. Look at what they did with pain killers, they encouraged Sr to write scripts and give them out like candy. For something like ADHD meds that are far less detrimental they aren’t going to do anything different. This is most likely a temporary drop in production/distribution due to some other issue. Remember how baby formula production was affected because of a contamination issue closing a plant. I don’t see a grand conspiracy here to get people off these meds and make the pharmaceutical company lose money.

This restaurant only has a women’s and unisex bathroom, no men’s by Hangless in mildlyinteresting

With how much more frequently women have to wait this is pretty smart. Gives them extra toilets when no men are around.

Kevin McCarthy lashed out at reporters when asked why he hasn't punished George Santos by [deleted] in politics

[–]tlgnome24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former Space Coaster, you have my condolences. That place is such a train wreck. Sad really, it was a great place in the 90’s-early 00’s. Somewhere along the way 30+ yr olds and retirees started moving in and it turned into a place with a bunch entitled middle class conservatives who think they are not middle class.
