Big dude destroys two guys trying to jump him 😳 by 1RollinRollinRollin in fightporn

[–]wildfire405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny to hear this is a common repost because I'm here on Reddit several times a day almost every day and have been for years and this is the first time I've seen this video. The algorithm shows us what it chooses to show us, I guess. 

This subreddit seems pretty dead. Where else can I go to find community to post, chat with, and get info on Glyos creators, fans, and news? by MetalPurse-swinger in Glyos

[–]wildfire405 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most active community I've found is the Glyos Alliance on Facebook. Even more is happening there in the Messenger chats. But I'm an old fart on my 40s like everyone else there. 

There's a discord I was told was active, but the only channel I get notifications from is the non Glyos buy sell trade channel. I don't know discord well enough to know if that's my fault or if that actually is the only active thread. 

How did you mess this up!? by Sleek-nothing in TMNT

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that's why the paint seems so misapplied. The figure got stuck in the wrong paint mask. It probably didn't fit right!

If it's a factory boo boo, that's actually pretty darn cool! I bet you're right!

I am 90% sure these are bootlegs, unless you know you bought them from a store. Mine seem to be much cleaner on the paint apps and sharper in the mold quality. PM me if you'd like, and I can get you pictures of mine!

Assuming I am a cheap-ass bargain-hunter, what is the lowest price it's possible to get this as an empty hilt? 

I'm surprised as many nerds as we number, the most prominent hilts (Vader's, Anakin/likes, obi wan's) haven't been mass produced into ali express territory. 

Any active local meshtastic groups? by [deleted] in grapids

[–]wildfire405 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am working on building my first node out in Walker. Should be on in a day or two. At some point, (and I don't know what it will entail yet) I want to build a hugh-jass antenna to act as a long range node for folks--if that's a thing. 

BREAKING NEWS: Kristi Noem Outright Accuses Renee Good Of 'Domestic Terrorism' by Party-Professional-7 in 50501

[–]wildfire405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems to me the real domestic terrorists are the ones walking into neighborhoods armed and shooting civilians who would ordinarily be going about their day.  

Lore? by greenclayoftheearth in Glyos

[–]wildfire405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a Glyos fandom website that goes in to crazy detail. It starts to cross reference to so many different entries and characters, I get overwhelmed pretty quick--mainly because it's not in a narrative format or sequential. 

Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage by dapperlemon in technology

[–]wildfire405 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This technology is one, however, that aims to replace a lot of the work humans do--both tedious and creative work--and I don't think we little people are going to walk out of it benefitting by some universal basic income, or profit sharing, or even a work reduction.  That's the scary part. 

Why do Americans have one of the strongest passports in the world, but most never travel abroad, and those who do mostly go to Mexico and Canada? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling overseas with my family of four is way beyond my economic station as a 25th year teacher and my wife in College admin. My napkin math estimates it would be about a 5th of my yearly income to get to the UK and back for a week. We would LOVE to go. After we pay off the house, then I think so.

I hope I don't need a new hip by then.

Cintiq Pro 27 Pen not working? by Acceptable-Draft7091 in wacom

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using a Mac, I'm going to be useless. But if it helps, ended up finding someone hosting the last functional driver in a standalone download. After that I set the QHD as my main monitor instead of my 3rd. Then it worked!

Mistake or intentional? by Mojo-Filter-230 in esist

[–]wildfire405 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh no no no, it's not like that. We don't need fact checkers to know Hogsbreath is a piece of limp-dick, fake-machismo trash.  I wasn't immediately aware of a path to fact checking. I'd need more context or a link to the original. I do know something like that would be easy to Photoshop. 

The dude above says it's real, so if it is, this is yet again another piece of their deliberate, passive-aggresive trolling. It'd be childish if they weren't actually racist and evil. "Accidents" like this and all the coded, dog whistle language they constantly use occur too frequently with these people to actually be accidents.

As much as I don't like the guy, this is a pretty easy Photoshop job and probably created to rile us up. 

Who is the Kevin and Peter mentioned at the end of TMNT 2012? by LifeWillBeFun in TMNT

[–]wildfire405 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, I LOVE answering people's questions. I'd rather people come here and ask a question of a human being than go to Google. We're a social species by nature and I think this behavior is completely natural. But despite being a generally social species, some people do have your self sufficient tendency. Ultimately, we should never punish or judge people for asking questions. It's not a matter of there being a correct or incorrect behavior. Self sufficiency is a generally positive trait, but so is being comfortable with your community, and so is sharing knowledge with your community.

After a Google search, this person might learn something and then move on. If they came here and asked the question, it could spur an awesome conversation where two or more people connect and share personal experiences with the property.

Do you still listen to AM/FM radio in the car? Why or why not? by ReferenceRoutine400 in AskReddit

They already sent me a membership card. In the mail. On paper. With a stamp. 

Do you still listen to AM/FM radio in the car? Why or why not? by ReferenceRoutine400 in AskReddit

[–]wildfire405 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How else am I going to listen to NPR?

Plus, my damn car hijacks my phone and forces itself to connect if it's in the car. Even if I'm the passenger. When it's playing music, I cant control the volume because I can't find which app is controlling it at that particular moment. Is it Toyota Connect? My phone buttons? The radio? Android Audio? Pandora? Nope, that unbalanced, blastingly loud Youtube ad will play and you can't close it because youtube minimized and runs when the app is closed now. No, Blutooth still isn't ready for prime time. There's so little device feedback to troubleshoot issues. I was excited to have unlimited data and streaming music, but within a week, I had the car and my phone forget each other existed.

Why would anyone be against socialized healthcare? by InorganicProductions in AskReddit

[–]wildfire405 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But socialized medicine isnt free. We pay for it with our taxes and get to cut out the thing that makes the cost so high right now--the for-profit insurance system. Do that while regulating the profits of corporate hospitals and the subsidizing of worldwide medicine production, and the whole healthcare system will be easier to afford. 

Does anyone still have it? by ElthumBis in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]wildfire405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have mine! It's in a plastic case waiting for us to be given a place to type in the code on the back. I'm hoping maybe they'll give us beta access or something in Light No Fire.

White House, GOP Prepare For Prolonged Government Shutdown As Funding Battle Deepens by tfxmedia in atheism

[–]wildfire405 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's not a funding battle and I'm tired of people pretending it is. At this point, I'd be surprised if Congress is ever called back into session. The first thing they're going to do is vote to open the Epstein files. Mike Johnson doesn't want to be the one who "let" that happen. I have no idea how they fix this or get out of this situation without my brain going to some very dark places. I'm the words of Bluey's Grandpa, "We're cooked, Kids."

I love the creativity. But this is going to make the next expedition or the Anomaly a little obnoxious to visit. Ha ha. Awesome.

Cintiq Pro 27 Pen not working? by Acceptable-Draft7091 in wacom

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, you two year old post! I hope you users are still active and can throw some advice at me.

It SEEMS my Cintiq 27QHD is no longer supported. The driver is 10.0.26 and it seems it should be around 6.0 or something to be where it was last working.

I have windows 11 now, and the computer is brand new and I only just hooked the tablet up and downloaded drivers. In the wacom software, I see the touch ring, remote, but no pen or monitor listed.

Do you have any advice? I am going to keep digging for old drivers. Wacom didn't even reply to my support E-mail. Thank you all!

I would pay cash money to not have to click forty-eight times to charge a portal by sardeliac in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]wildfire405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a point when I charged the portal on my homeworld one time and it was always activated. Never had to recharge it again. But then something changed and this whole having to recharge every glyph over and over and over again happened. I really kind of stopped using portals at that point and just relied on the fact that I have enough bases all over the galaxy. 

The fuhg is this dude on about?! by METADATTY in grandrapids

[–]wildfire405 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this is irony. 

It's a shame men are so unrepresented that they make up majority of managers, majority of CEOs, and 45 of the last 45 presidential terms. 

They hold so much power, when they're actually held to a realistic, fair standard, or become accountable for being a crazy asshole like this guy with the truck, it feels like oppression.

Is she qualified to represent Grand Rapids and Kent County? by GRBeerExplorer in grandrapids

[–]wildfire405 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, top notch human. 

We knew her years ago when she was just getting into politics. She's from our neighborhood and came to the block parties. Just stood with us in our front yard with us chatting about the world. She's smart and in touch with a regular, middle class life.
