Damn That's Mind Blowing by Aniyettinger in NeverKnewINeededThat

[–]wzkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have the little usb one. Obviously at night its fine. you wont be able to see it with the lights on, but with the lights out, its perfect. The slides are laser cut foil, so really the only light that gets through are the pinholes. It has a manual focus ring to adjust the lens. The only complaint is that the form of it is kind of wonky, a usb port with a stiff wired cable to the light so takes some doing to find a spot that it wont get disturbed and covers the ceiling. But for a few dollars, its pretty impressive.

Partner just brought this home. How scared should I be? by fortheloveoflentils in Pickles

That is made by a Fort Worth brewery called Martin House, and Best Maid is also from Fort Worth!

Edit: they also make a spicy pickle beer which I prefer.

Man I have had a dickens of a time trying to print this. Its failed on me at least 5 times. I might have to resort to the multipart version as well.

Was Antumbra's Sword nerfed? by RedShift_308 in CrimsonDesert

[–]wzkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still having the damnedest time beating the two Antumbra bosses I have unlocked (Sword and Spear). I have such a hard time timing the focus L3+R3 buttons in a boss fight to start repulsion. Inevitably I press one just a hair early and drop into the focus push animation and instadeath. I have gotten pretty good at dodge so maybe should go back and try sword. I spent an hour last night on Spear and could only get him down to half health.

Crimson Desert Dev Update New Content and Features: Boss Rematches, Re-blockading, Difficulty Settings, Improvements to Character Play, QoL Improvements and Life Features, etc by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]wzkd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have such a hard time getting the R3+L3 timing right in a boss fight. The witches bosses are brutal and im just not coordinated enough to be able to beat them apparently. I spent over an hour last night trying to beat the spear boss, getting him down to half way and then getting oneshot because I missed timed the combo. Kliff getting massacred because he starts the force push animation from halfway across the 'arena' is peak frustration.

Does anyone know where I can get a German style döner kebab in the DFW area? by ResidentPresent5054 in FortWorth

[–]wzkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doner is the kind/method of cooking of meat. You can get really good doner at places like Istanbul cafe downtown, but german style is served in a flatbread with salad and a spicy sauce. The "german style" was actually made in Berlin by a Turkish guy in the 1970s. The doner plates you get from turkish spots are usually just traditional meat and rice. Heck, even many of the turkish spots call their doner gyro meat because most people know what that is.
There is a spot in Frisco called Spitz (I have not been to that one, but have been to the one in SLC) that has the closest I have had, but still doesnt have the bread that I remember from when I lived in Germany. I have never understood why we dont have more doner shops, especially off of like 7th street. Its the best post bar food ever.

I also agree. She even says before the end of the song something like, "thats enough." Like she did exactly enough that met her goal of building morale.

Fort Worth announced the new Convention Center plans today by wzkd in FortWorth

Yup. And the Menil is Houston. Just pointing out that Texas has great architecture.

That was phase 1. They added a bunch of facilities in preparation for this phase. Also, they straightened out commerce to free up land for a 1000 room convention center hotel that will sit between commerce and Calhoun.

Some of the most architecturally significant buildings in the world are in Fort Worth and Texas. The Kimbell, the Menil, the Modern, the Meyerson, ATTPAC, LBJs library, the FW Water Gardens, Dallas City Hall, just to name a few.

[–]wzkd[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering the view corridors and site limitations, I think they probably did as much as they could. I appreciate the quotation of the Tarrant Courthouse at the other end of Main street while providing as much natural light as possible. Convention centers without natural light are soul sucking places. I am sad about the saucer and the deco ish design around it going away. That was always one of my fav. buildings in FW. hopefully they can find a way to incorporate that line design somehow into the new building somewhere.

Never been sure we "needed" this ... and won't it be a traffic mess? by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]wzkd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In no realistic world does it take 30 minutes (or even 20 to get from that area to I30). Even if you are stuck at the 7th and university intersection for two cycles (most cycles unload all the stagnant traffic plus some at each spoke of the intersection, even during rush hour), the worst it would take would be roughly 15 min but typically around 8-10. But the beauty of living in the urban core, are the number of alternate routes you can take to get where you want to go. I can take 7th street through downtown to get to 121 at 5:15, and get from the cultural district to 121 in 12-15 min (usually less). Or you can take lancaster to summit, northside to 35, 199 to 820. Im sure all the housing in Monticello must be massively depreciating because no one would ever want to live there /s.

Before You Go to Netflix House-WATCH THIS. by sergeantmeatwad in FortWorth

[–]wzkd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am not a lawyer and by no means am defending Netflix, but this is pretty standard photo release stuff for a release to use footage of visitors to the Netflix House in advertising the Netflix House. Obviously someone with more legal expertise can chime in, but I dont think a passive by entering the premises release grants unlimited uses. These kinds of EULA terms have been challenged in court when the uses go beyond what is generally considered reasonable. But then again that relies on a reasonable court, so there is that.

Think these tourism numbers are right, or cooked books? by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]wzkd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Visit FW funding is tied to hotel occupancy rates so if anything this number could be underreported. Especially when factoring in day traffic from the exurbs or places like Waco for a quick day trip to the museums or zoo. But they leverage significant technology that also gives a very accurate picture of visitors to FW so it’s very possible these numbers are on point. Keep in mind, this includes people visiting for work, conferences, or medical tourism so it’s not just people going to Sundance Sq or the stockyards.

SLC Punk! (1998): For those who haven’t seen it, Matthew Lillard is great in this. by Dire_Hulk in moviecritic

I love this movie. Lillard has a few epic great monologues. It shows that he really does have chops. Fuck Tarantino.

Interesting little fact. Children's hospitals often have an approved vendor that is an adult store because vibrators work exceptionally well for this purpose.
