  • I loled

  • My TV is a 50" I think? 1080p from 2013. It was cheap then, and it's worth nothing now, on the market. But it works fine.

    The backlight is evenly distributed, which is good, that's a pet peeve of mine. But otherwise it's unremarkable.

    Honestly, I'd really like to try those new HDR TVs, a mini LED or OLED or something. But I just can't justify it. Why? Because the TV I have, works fine 🤷‍♂️

    If it magically died tomorrow, I'd upgrade. But I definitely don't need 8k. Heck I don't need 4k. I barely watch any content at 1080, it's mostly 720 🤷‍♂️

  • I did the USB c mod on my wiiu game pad. The convenience is exceptional

  • Got caught at the airport in a foreign country during the crowdstrike debacle.

    Mercifully, our flight was only delayed by about 9 hours, and not cancelled. We were able to get home without too much fuss.

    Many people had it much much worse.

    Still, that was the longest I'd ever been delayed.

  • I've heard of it. My cat doesn't care for it.

    Which is funny because he's fat, and very food motivated. Jumps off the couch when his auto feeder runs.

    Like, he'll eat the tube stuff, but not out of the tube, and he doesn't go crazy for it. Very odd.

    My buddies cats like it though, so 🤷‍♂️

  • Oh for sure, do what you want to do. I'm just saying, while everyone has their opinions, some people like to follow the crowd of popular opinion, and the crowd is moving away from Ubuntu. Maybe not everyone knows that 🤷‍♂️

  • Ubuntu has kind of fallen out of favor with a lot of people, myself included. It used to be my go to, then I went mint, now I run fedora Bluefin.

  • Thanks! I've actually improved slightly already!

    I've been standing in front of the bed, based on the recommendation of flyjuggler on YouTube.

    I can more consistently get 3 catches now, sometimes 4 or 5, and once I think I did a full rotation. Or if not, it was very close. It's hard to tell what I'm doing when I'm doing it haha.

  • Also own a 21lb cat. He is just big. But also a little overweight.

    He's on a diet with automatic feeder, but he has massive food anxiety. (We found him as a starving kitten) So we can only reduce his intake to the point of maintaining weight. If we restrict it too much, he stresses out and overgrooms himself to the point of bleeding 😔

  • This.... Would not fly in my house lol.

    Granted my cat is plenty annoying an hour before it's time to get up, but I certainly don't encourage this behavior.

    The most I do to appease him is call him to the bed, where even though he can, he won't jump up, I've gotta reach over and put him on the bed.

    Ok maybe I'm trained too..

  • So... I made my own balls by sewing them up following a pattern online, and filling them with rice. They're about 2.5 inches, 115 grams.

    I practiced for about an hour, on and off, yesterday. I can throw all three in series, and then catch them, more than half the time. But I haven't tried going any further, because sometimes I randomly start doing worse and have to go back down to two or one ball.

  • That's extremely frustrating. Like, it's literally your job to get that number correct..

    People frustrate me

  • There's a sign by my house, on a road I need to turn right on at about 420 every day, that says no right-on-red turns between 730am to 430pm on school days.

    It's frustrating, because it doesn't seem like it's actually protecting children for 9 hours a day

  • I like that

  • It was about that time....

  • Similar story here. Just no YouTube.

    My only mistake was buying the motherboard first, without actually thinking about it or considering what components would go in it. I knew the components needed to match, but I didn't think "what's the best performance for the money".

    I was a kid, so I went on eBay and bought the first motherboard I saw, and then researched what components I would need to make it work.

    I'll spare the specifics, but let's just say I ended up with a system that was significantly aged and underpowered for its time and how much I spent.

    Good learning experience though.

  • Makes sense. I work at a different type of repair shop, we just had a brand new $400 battery go up in smoke on first power up. Ridiculous.

  • They got away with it. I bought the part months ago after bodging a fix on the stock connector. By time the bodge failed, the return window closed. It was $5 so unfortunately not worth my time fighting it.

  • My headlight connector got a little melty, just enough to get loose and stop working, just wore out I suppose.

    I bought one on Amazon, along with new bulbs, installed it, and within an hour the new connector had catastrophically melted and shorted out enough to blow the fuse.

    I should've known, the wire felt cheap, copper clad aluminum. But I thought it would be fine, it's just a headlight 🤷‍♂️

    Now I've got a replacement from the local auto parts. So far so good.
