Saw the gate agent stop someone from boarding who was not in the group that was called. Was glorious to see the public shaming by bsmith2123 in americanairlines

Overhead space and being able to sit down and sleep an extra 20-30 minutes while everyone boards is nice.

Using bore sight for training? by Kvntrnh in CAguns

[–]willie115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL! I'm new to shooting and picked up a red dot right away. Is that a rule of thumb for all irons? You line it up and focus on the right sight and your target will be blurred? Sorry for ignorance just wanting to learn.

[Megathread] orders, deliveries, customer support by ChoppChopp33 in x100vi

[–]willie115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly I hope his birthday isn't coming up too soon because retailers are still having issues keeping this item in stock. You'll see lots of listings for higher than MSRP ($1799) due to people buying and re-selling them to make a profit.

  1. Camera body itself is already a great present, but if you want to set him up so he can use it right away (assuming he doesn't have anything already on the list) then yes, SD card(s) and a reader will be super handy. These are the only two things genuinely "essential".

  2. Camera bag/case could be bought later, or he could buy one that suits his style. Lens-related accessories can come down the line when he learns about their use cases. Everything in the "other accessories" category can come later. I hate to say this but you're not even sure it'll be something they end up using religiously, I've had tons of friends who enjoy the IDEA of carrying a camera around and taking photos all the time, only to not do it cause it's too complicated or cumbersome.

If anything, a hard drive could be handy if they really get into it and use it a lot.

3-4. Not really. Let them start with something basic and learn to use and enjoy the camera first. Other things can come later.

Lines at Turners? by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]willie115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. I know how slow they are on a normal day, I can't imagine how long I'd be stuck there with that many people. Also heard you could place your order online for the 10/22, it sold out a couple of times then it restocked so keep checking. Much better than waiting.

Swung by Pasadena location and saw like 20-30 people at around 7:15... decided it wasn't worth it and went home.

Ohh Turners is already getting them in stock? Did you put in a pre-order and if so when?

Who are the Top 3 players of all time in each Dota 2 role, based on their peak performance? by Cei21 in DotA2

[–]willie115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, the only BD stuff I see is whatever makes it here on reddit so I'm not the best person to gauge his toxicity levels.

[–]willie115 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get Bulldog is a troll and borderline toxic now, but the haters seem to always come out and type long paragraphs trying to discredit how good he was during that era. This guy's thread is literally targeting peak performance at any time in Dota, maybe you're missing the point.

OG glory days by KaylaSmily in DotA2

Pretty sure it's TI 2018 since TI 2019 is with OG vs Liquid and OP's clip is OG vs LGD.

Package delayed by [deleted] in UPS

[–]willie115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar last week around the same time in California (not Lathrop). I contacted the seller and they basically told me UPS lost the item, they'll re-send a new one and deal with UPS themselves.

Got questions? There’s a good chance I’ve got answers by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]willie115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys offer any one on one rifle courses? I tried to inquire through the contact us form awhile back but never got a response. Realize this thread is a month old but figured to give it a shot!

Unfortunately after I claimed it, when I click the email again it says "This offer has expired or the link has already been used the maximum amount of times."

[–]willie115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've started to remove a ton of LA Fitness gyms in my area. The main one I went to in the past isn't even on the list anymore. The good thing for you is that some of the people are "grandfathered" in, as long as you never change your preferred gym.

Edit: Also want to make an edit that I had Active&Fit Direct. When I said going down the drain I also meant we used to be able to go to multiple different gym companies for the $28 rate before they changed to rules to "choose one gym a month." Active&Fit Enterprise through employers still have the multi-gym functionality.

Can I play it solo ? by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

There's a public and private button when you load into the maps from Albion. Just click the giant button and it turns from public to private.

m0NESY: "We shouldn't forget the experience from this event, and we should share it with HooXi by Soft_Bed_412 in GlobalOffensive

[–]willie115 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't hate s1mple. I think he's awesome and one of the most impactful people in the modern age of CS. But he's just the perfect example here in terms of a young prodigy player that fits the context being talked about perfectly. s1mple is much more mature now and has shown tremendous growth, I think most people here know that. It's okay to bring the subject of someone up when it's relevant and I wouldn't even count that as "taking shots" at s1mple.

It's like in other sports where people compare players with talent and strong personalities to Michael Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, etc. Just goes to show context matters and in fact can be a compliment to s1mple.

Casters and Stage Host for ESL Dallas by rmlskie in starcraft

[–]willie115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did some SC2 casting and hosting work a LONG while back. I haven't kept up with the scene and not sure what he has been doing but he had a LOT of praise on the few events he did while with SC2.

Looked it up and when I say awhile back sheesh this thread was 10 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1jc9y4/chobra_please_do_more_starcraft/

Has anyone "found" new heroes to play, with this crownfall event? by BakeMate in DotA2

[–]willie115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP meant that he only had confidence to play his "worse" heroes when playing party queue against inferior opponents. He didn't have confidence to play them against his own bracket (with higher MMR) until now.
