Definitely boycott paying real money for lootboxes or games with real money lootboxes.

If you're not paying, then it's just a factor to consider, the companies won't care about you much

Price needs to drop to about 5k for this to be competitive.

I once got a run to ante 11 with this Joker. Basically I played lots of two pairs early and then played everything except two pairs. I got this joker to a 10x mult and even blueprinted it because it was my best joker that run.

This is the clutch lever I think? I've been riding for 20 months so it would be embarrassing to get this wrong

I got one used, and not specifically because it was curved, I just wanted a monitor and it was available for a good price. The curve is mild and the monitor is only 24" so I don't notice it very much. The monitor feels a bit flatter to my eyes than my laptop screen due to field of vision.

I already have 2 monitors (including my laptop screen because I'm primarily on laptop) but recently I tried using Google Earth on a desktop with a fast i7-13700 and a 1440p monitor and it was so immersive. If each pixel was 100m, I could see 256km, all with minimal hiccups.

It reminded me I want a big 4k Monitor for this stuff, maybe even of TV size.

Why is this upvoted so much? This isn't useful advice, it's just an insult in response to an honest question.

Plus, he's not that stupid. He didn't rack up tens of thousands in credit card debt he couldn't repay.

If you really want to spend lots of money to reap the rewards from the credit cards, you can prepay them, so that your balance will be negative. You'll also be seen as having "low revolving utilization."

The downside is you need the money upfront of course, money that could've been being invested.

Not when I can't even get a DRM-free MP3 from the payments. If I could, I'd reconsider that.

Start with 1, and if you have 100+ hours in 1 and want a bit of a change of mechanics, and a good enough GPU, then I'd recommend 2

The first point would never happen because the R's can play hardball.

The second point would have everyone blaming the D's for the shutdown.

There was no good option.

 

I've been experiencing this for a while now and it doesn't seem to appear anywhere else on other forums, so I'll post here. Even if this is unsolvable, it's good to get the issue posted somewhere.

Certain internet apps stop working randomly. When one app stops working, they all stop working. None of them crash, but they lose their functionality. The Internet still works, as I can browse the web just fine when these apps are broken. The only way to fix this is a full device reboot.

The apps include but are not limited to:

  • Discord
  • Jerboa for Lemmy
  • Dating apps (Tinder, Bumble, Hinge)
  • Certain banking apps (you know it's broken when it fails to show biometric login)

My phone is a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, with the November 1, 2024 security patch of Android 13.

EDIT: I found another way to at least temporarily fix the issue after it happened a record 6 times in one day. Disabling (and optionally re-enabling) the DuckDuckGo app tracking protection. This is incredibly strange because the issue affects Jerboa for Lemmy which has no ads and trackers.

 

I could be exploring all the mechanics that Fulgora and Gleba have to offer. I've researched both planets and have a spaceship ready to take me there in a couple minutes. But nooooo... I instead want to utilize the insane scale of everything on Vulcanus to build rail networks to bring my SPM to the moon!

First, I want red, green, blue, and purple science to get unlimited mining productivity! But yellow science for enhanced military power sounds nice for medium demolishers, behemoth biters, and the Gleba enemies... And since I already have yellow science, I can easily expand to space science... And wait, I also can make Metallurgic science as well!

 

Hi! SuperSpruce here! I wanted to give occasional progress updates of my Factorio: Space Age base, so here it is! I would've posted this on Reddit instead of here if it wasn't for Reddit's greed starting in 2023. Note that I'm not using any mods here, even QoL.

The start was quite poor, due to the dry climate, no visible chokepoints, and spaced out resources. The only good thing was a small oil patch nearby. The biters were a constant threat in the early game, so I researched military and gun turrets before automation, purposely delayed scaling up as to keep power consumption low, and rushed efficiency modules and solar power. My weapon progression has gone: SMG with yellow ammo, SMG with red ammo, flamethrower, SMG+defender capsules, and now tank + defender capsules.

Here's the whole base. Yes, I am naming my train stations after motorcycles, deal with it.

.

My 1-4 train system uses what amounts to a giant roundabout with an exit for each major resource in the main bus, with buffers to prevent traffic jams. I only have about 5 trains running currently, but I tremble at the thought of traffic jams. That's why I plan to build a train "interstate highway" in the future. Outside of the main base, it turns into 2-lane "rural tracks."

Here's the main base with the main bus:

Fun fact: The belts are all yellow belts except for 3 cases where I needed more underground length where I begrudgingly use red undergrounds.

And finally, here's my sad 2nd attempt at a space base:

My next goal is to go to Vulcanus for the cliff explosives and more powerful military options. But I first need to scale up steel...

Give me your thoughts, but don't spoil anything!

 

It's been a good 3500 miles with the GZ250, but I've been itching for more power and better cornering potential. Also, I somehow spent $1000 in maintenance in 10 months for a "beginner" bike. So, I sold my GZ250 to buy this crazy motorcycle. I always wanted a high-revving inline-3 engine, and this bike was a good deal.

What a difference it is! I went from being slower than 99% of cars on the road to faster than 99% of cars on the road. That and the difference in ergonomics make it feel like my first time riding again because I feel like a noob again.

It pulls so crazy hard in lower gears that I don't think I've ever gave it full throttle below 4th gear, and it sounds amazing doing so. And whenever I take a corner, I consistently underestimate just how much I can lean, so I go almost unsatisfyingly slow, and the bike seems to say, "c'mon, chicken. Believe in me. You could've gone way faster than that." I hope to do a track day to remedy this mismatch between me and my motorcycle.

 

This is the #1 reason why I don't buy Apple anymore. But if there was an easy private way, I'd be open to getting Apple products again.

I simply want to transfer files from my PC to my iPad without any companies collecting info about the files, such as legally acquired mp3 files that dumb corporations will think are pirated.

What are the ways to do this?
