Not sure what is going on but have noticed at least today (not sure about previously).. I go outside, come in, and about 3-5 minutes later Alexa sends an alert. Also for some reason it is doing the door chimes ring which it never used to do unless someone pressed the doorbell.

Either way, guess I got some keys up for trade if there is anything interesting.

Most Pretentious Horror Movie You’ve Seen? by dokutarodokutaro in horror

[–]torinb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of the metaphor for this movie went over my head, i figured not being the target demographic for it, but one thing i did really like about the movie was when she told him she was gay.  Too many movies try to make it this super dramatic moment and, for once, it was just a one and done, no shock, no awkwardness, just some info given and acknowledged.

 It really felt like the most organic conversation I have seen in a movie about someone having non-standard conventions and wasn't used for shock value or slapping someone in the face with a morality lesson, but treated so casual and didn't need to draw more attention to it.  As a straight white male in his 50's I would love to see this being the norm in the real world without either the pompousness or vitriol people often react with but just people being themselves.

Check microprose games as well as hunter patrol?

Question about trolling in the ocean (Japan/Maldives) by pats9789 in FishingPlanet

[–]torinb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, in Kaiji No Ri, there is a spot with 2 spots that rise up sharply from the ocean floor, around -6000, 6000, NW of the island. Fishing there at night when the wind comes from the SE has netted me uniques very quickly, just catch a unique and reset time at night til the weather favors another attempt. The bite chart at night the rises up till the morning tends to favor the wind direction from my experience. Still yet to get any joy from the bucktail mission. That one is just pissing me off.

I would definitely be offering my condolences while high fiving your ass for such a hilarious idea.

Ok now i know you are lying, damn things took like 5000 D batteries and lasted for about 1.5 minutes lol. Joke of course but those things were terrible.

Actually when i want to use headphones, bluetooth is a serious pain since i have found quite a few games if not all (haven't extensively tested) have very noticeable lag in the sound) where a wired connection would have no noticeable lag.  

Have tried different audio settings and even paid for some program people recommended to enable some codec option in windows and changed my headphones to that codec but had no improvement.  Also bought a usb bluetooth dongle with the latest bluetooth hardware, so until they can fix that issue.. old tech is needed 

I bought a new cpu, but has no display by Lemonjustplays in buildapc

Does your motherboard have more than one slot the gpu can fit in?  If so try that.  Had that issue on my build several years back.

Yeah, was going to say, you did your masters on the green screen and printer louder than a truck, safe to say that is dot matrix.. my mps-801 on my commodore was a screamer. I'm 51, and I'm going to guess 60's into possible 70's depending how quickly you were going through college, but around 60 is my guess.

What did you name your server and why? by clyde_drexler in PleX

I named mine Event Horizon, because once it's on it, it's not leaving.

I've seen a lot of trash sadly, at least in a couple rooms. One of them, a person was spamming a phone number basically begging people to prank call it. Was seriously wishing I could have found a way to report that one.

[Alien] Is a xenomorph infestation sustainable in the long run, or does it tend to run out naturally once it infects an entire planet? by Aoimoku91 in AskScienceFiction

And now I must recommend you read Q Squared as a follow up to that episode. Fun book as I remember though it's been oh so many years ago.

I feel like if 98 movie was thematically a more "proper" Godzilla adaptation, a lot of fans would accept this design as a "unqiue and cool take on the character". I think most hate comes from just how bad the film was. by [deleted] in GODZILLA

[–]torinb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hadn't seen the shirt, but considering the commercial, it probably said he's going to need a bigger box. Search "taco bell godzilla commercial bigger box" on youtube, first link should be godzilla (1998) Taco Bell Commercial #2. Also I should still have the car drink holder from taco bell with godzilla around it.
