  • USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System

    Jump

  • No, we can't. Boxes have to be picked up daily, that rule isn't going to change. There's a barcode inside each blue box that must be scanned daily, plus not picking up the mail is delaying the mail, which is a federal offense

  • 🏳️(TrueNAS) Is my drive dying and should be replaced?🏳️

    Jump

  • Had this issue once, 2 drives kept not initializing during boot, rebooting a few times got them to register but showed drive errors. I thought either the drives or my SAS card was dying. Fully reseating the connectors fixed it and haven't had an issue since.

  • I just finished Bojack last week. I watched through season 3 before but dropped Netflix and never got around to finishing it. I basically binged the whole show and as much as I'd hate to give Netflix any money, I'd buy a full series blu-ray in a heartbeat.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • A great example of this is Halo.

    The Flood is a horrible body horror parasite that transforms your body and invades and consumes your mind, your thoughts and your memories. It's corruption based on revenge of the Precursors for the Forerunner's war against them out of petty anger. The original trilogy shows this off well, and acts like a horror game when you're getting swarmed from all angles by them.

    343 era games are like "bad guys are robots, Flood too scary and gorey we removed them." All for that lower Teen rating just to sell more copies to a broader audience. They remove the bloodiness and the gore. Hell, you could make a lake of Covenant and human blood in CE. Now you might get a couple splashes of blood to not tip that ESRB scale.

    Pathetically watered down in many other aspects, but this was one that always bothered me.

  • What is something you enjoy doing but suck at?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah for sure, I get inspirations from other channels, but I don't try to directly rip them off. I don't have that kind of charm and my videos aren't all a single genre, they're kinda all over the place.

    Jump

  • Making videos for my YouTube channel. I like having random ideas, making the vids then uploading them, but man am I not good at it. My vids are mediocre at best compared to other YouTube channels I watch, but I enjoy the process.

    I really like when I'm doing a funny video, I'm working on editing and think "oh this would be funny here" and add that, and do that over and over until it's been 20 hours of editing for a 10 minute video and I have to force myself to export it and be done.

  • Yeah I saw a guy convert an old Toyota pickup into an EV and it cost about $18,000 IIRC. Biggest expense is obviously the batteries, followed by motor and charging system. Madman kept the original 5 speed which I absolutely respect.

  • What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?

    Jump

  • Early UNSC Shaw-Fujikawa drives were a brute force punch into the other dimension, whereas Covenant adopting old Forerunner tech would slip into Slipspace more elegantly and with better accuracy. This allowed Covenant ships to slip within a single system, where UNSC ships might be within a few hundred thousand kilometers of their intended target and could not realistically attempt inter-system jumps, which I always thought was a cool detail.

    Post Halo 3 when the Infinity gets Forerunner Slipspace drives and Forerunner Engineers to help adapt and implement the drives drastically improve Slipspace accuracy and speed was a huge turning point for humanity. Plus the ability to have small drop ship like crafts, Condors, have Slipspace capabilities was huge for ONI ops and smaller team excursions.

    God I fucking love Halo lore.

    Yeah that's not saying much at all, dipshit. Single cell organisms have more brain capacity than your dementia ridden ass

  • I don't even know if windows is good or not now.

    Jump

  • I was a Windows user up until last year. I ditched it for EOS after I got tired of telling Windows NO I DON'T WANT WINDOWS 11 for the 500th time. Between having to manually remove Cortana, Edge, trackers and spyware and having ads shoved in my notifications, I couldn't stand it anymore.

    Now, as an average user they're not gonna care about any of that. Hell, I didn't start caring until I upgraded from 7 to 10 (I deliberately skipped 8) and they started enshitification. 10 was good, at first. It's what they added that made it unbearable.

    My biggest praise of Linux over Windows is not having to check for updates for different programs manually. I just hit sudo pacman -Syu and it does it all. Proton just makes my games work and I can do everything I did in Windows. Can I play AAA games with anticheat? Yes, but not all games. The ones I can't, I really don't feel the desire to play anymore anyway.

  • At least there's some shade and greenery nearby, still better than the American Asphalt Fields

  • What do you mean? You don't wanna be in the middle of an asphalt wasteland that's at least 20° hotter than a grassy area with no shade or trees whatsoever cooking the concrete you will inevitably walk barefoot on during peak pool use time like summer? Won't you think of the shareholders profits for one second!

  • What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

    Jump

  • I like collecting games, nothing crazy like graded games (graded anything is a scam) or like I have to have every game ever made for a specific console, I just like having a big shelf of games.

    I really want a like new, in box green Halo edition original Xbox. People want stupid money for them but I just want to have one. I've got a good condition boxed regular black console and a boxed Halo 3 Xbox 360 but I reeeeally want the green OG.

    Here's what people are trying to sell a NIB version for

  • Same with classic rock stations, I swear to fucking god Boston's 100.7 plays Turn the Page by Bob Seger or Metallica's cover daily at like 7:45am. That's usually followed by one of 3 AC/DC songs then 10-15 minutes of commercials since iHeartRadio bought them a while ago.

  • Carburetor cleaner kills wasps on contact, since we always had old cars growing up and lived in the sticks we also always got wasp nests. I still keep some around just in case. I don't even own a car with a carburetor anymore. They get a good distance of spray too for added safety when dealing with them.
