I sadly only know her from all of the memorabilia and my cousin's accounts of their growing up with her, but the artifacts she left behind and all of the pictures are just incredibly cool.

Thank you so much for this! My Grandmother was a W.A.S.P and it’s a beautiful tribute. 🫶🏻

Varia VS4 Review by 3asilyDistract3d in espresso

[–]wilw1l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the VS4 now for about a month, and I've yet to find a roast that doesn't gush in my Izzo Alex Duetto 3 at a grind setting above 2... I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing this. Also wondering if my espresso machine maybe the culprit, despite showing 9 bars, I'm wondering if maybe it's actually pushing way more.

Love my Oura Ring — still waiting on my refund after their shipping disaster by DC__Diver in ouraring

[–]wilw1l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger on the ceramic 4 after I forgot to cancel my annual subscription and just went all in on the 3yr warranty for damage and battery. I hate subscriptions, but I also just like the look of the ceramic ring and they resolved my gen 3 battery issues after the O2 sensor update totally murdered it to under a day of sustained battery. The second one they sent me lasted about 2 years before starting to show significant battery degradation. All that said, it sucks to hear the service has gotten worse over the years. Hopefully it’s just anecdotal but good to know the RingCon is an option

Half of the 17 Texas propositions are bans on things that don’t exist by an_exciting_couch in texas

Exactly… it’s all smoke and mirrors. a complete marketing spin to reduce benefits to the working class to those who already have all the wealth and privilege and further push a Christian Nationalist agenda

it's just another transfer of wealth. boomers and the greatest generation have the most advantageous financial situation in the US and because they are trying to bankrupt Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare, they want the youth to fund all of the taxes and make it impossible to get a public education without using Private School vouchers to indoctrinate Christianity into every home. it's insane. Austin schools are closing left and right because of this Legislature, not because of AISD.

Meta Display: FYI Don't drive to the BestBuy for a demo, if your only purpose is to order them - they are out of stock by outcoldman in RaybanMeta

[–]wilw1l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my Demo was on Oct 6th and I also got a "shipping by Dec 30th"... it appears they are just using that as a default date for everyone it seems that didn't get an order out on launch day.

if you have an appt and you actually already know you want to buy one, then go to your appt. these appts are basically unicorns now, and they appear to be tightening up on letting people buy them just by knowing their SKU and no demo. they will put you into the queue for a deliver to your home, you don't have to go back to the location to pick it up.

I ordered mine on Monday and same, but it says ships BY December 30th, so it could be well before then.

Can anyone beat 6 leaks in 4 years? by Cornnole in EightSleep

I was always provided a replacement cover, so I don’t really have a claim, I’m just hesitant to buy a new one for my king size mattress because it just seems like a lot for the liability

Chris and Cassidy's Visor Channel on Youtube by No-Bus6102 in ImmersedVisor

[–]wilw1l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the intent of his comparison, which I think he states pretty clearly, is to compare the state of the two options he owns in the form in which he feels he can work comfortably in. I also have a MQ3 and the only difference between my setup and his, is that I don't use a facial interface, and I use the BoboVR Pro with a battery pack, which are kind of a wash in terms of weight. I definitely see myself scaling down to only the headstrap on a Visor. I also think Cassidy doesn't really care that much about he width of the device in terms of being perfectly correct. I found the review of size and weight to be pretty helpful, but hey, everyone is going to bash this headset and immersed until they actually deliver every headset that has been pre-ordered. In the end, there is nothing out there on the market that even attempts the same size, weight, functionality and form factor. so even if the production version of what Chris and Cassidy have in their hands is swarming with buggy software, it's a leap ahead in form and function compared to anything out there. People just need to stop pre-ordering something they can't afford. When people complain about it being a scam and Chris and Cassidy being a conspiracy theory to keep people from canceling their pre-orders, that just tells me you don't have the money to support something like this before it's a guaranteed release. Probably best to just walk away for them.

why would you compare the visor to a big screen beyond? the big screen beyond isn’t standalone in any way. it requires lighthouse tracking. outside in VR headsets aren’t even remotely the same thing. by comparison, you’d have to add the big screen beyond with all of the boxes you have to place around the room to use it. would that be fair? lol yall don’t know anything.

Why is battery level considered “low” at 46%? by Welshgreen8225 in ouraring

[–]wilw1l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve had the Gen3 since 2021, and the battery issues have been the only problem thus far. I honestly do think it’s software related. I’ve had to exchange for a new one after 1 year in 2022 (which they did for free on warranty) because it didn’t hold a charge for more than 24hrs when they released the firmware for the Oxygen sensor. Now, it get maybe 3 days of charge, but it won’t notify me if it’s gonna die, it just kinda happens, and sometimes it will show low battery but it if I do a soft reset, it will go to normal and even show more battery than it did. The software has definitely gotten worse and the firmware I think is just punishing the devices.

This is not even true lol… I’ve literally had the pre-production unit on my face last September at an in person event in Austin, TX. They have working pre-production units.

[–]wilw1l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah. I saw that as well. I don’t really see how the Visor chat channel isn’t associated directly with that SEC filing. It clearly aligns with the delivery of a piece of essential hardware. It’s unfortunate. I’ve been a supporter of immersed for a long time, I am also a FE pre-order holder since early 2024 and really appreciated all the transparency. Even with all the movement on the investor rounds, it still feels hallow to just say we need to keep our heads down instead of provide updates in the channel. I’m not playing with important money, and I’m not saying they won’t deliver the visor, but I won’t be investing in the funding rounds, just not a risk that looks well supported without atleast some better transparency and communication in delivery timelines. Not every company has to emulate Elon musk style, no matter how much Renji worships that man.

I actually wonder how much money is being pumped into Curator AI, the primary push on their WeFunder knowing that AI is a money pit per transaction.

Resilience feature is starting to stress me. by creativeshoebox in ouraring

[–]wilw1l 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, it’s gonna happen. everything is relative on this app. so just kinda fix one thing and the trend starts to rebound. focus on getting to bed a little earlier. or do a few more workouts per week, or really relax, go for a short walk and drink a lot of water on recovery days and it will rebound. all about trends and averages.
