  1. If I'm overlooking a small detail or have the tiniest of errors, others think it is the end of the world.

     

    If others are making small errors and I point them out, it is explained as irrelevant.

      Pay no mind.  Nitpicking is easy, but doing the actual work deserves praise.

  2. Sorry for dipping so hard, but I am no longer ill. Thank God it wasn't Covid, but boy it really kicked my butt hard. I'm only now well enough to return to school.

  3. So pissed.. finally bit the bullet and bought a Smartphone, basically to be able to get a public transportation app.  Now I hear the app won't work on my phone because I need a NFC chip.  F***!  I hope the Cricket store can install one for me..

      I have no idea what an NFC chip is.  Is it just a special kind of SIM card? 

      I recently had to get a new phone because the apps for my work needed a certain OS level for Android.  What a pain!  I decided to switch providers (and lower my bill) while I was at it, so it all worked out good.  My phone plan is now $15 per month, which is $20 less than before!

  6. Was having a nice, quiet day at work up until the last hour of my shift, when one of a pair of jerks fighting at the other end of the mall fired off a couple shots & got the place evacuated/lockdowned... no one hurt, but made for a lousy afternoon!

  7. Opinions: What is the most bullshit, unfair, frustrating NES games you have ever played?

  8. Went to Red Robin for lunch and had the Royal burger, the one with bacon and a sunnyside egg on it. It was ok, I was surprised how much I couldn't really taste the egg all that much. It looked more delicious in the photo than it actually was in real life.

      Red Robin is kind of meh IMO. Not bad, not great. Just meh.

  16. For anybody who knows about Gaming PC's does it matter which brand of the same graphics card to get?I see theres the radeon r9 280x sapphire 3gb graphics card but there's also the VisionTek version of it and the VisionTek version is around $30 cheaper

    1. RickR

      RickR

      As long as the clock speeds for the the graphics chip and memory are the same, there is no difference. Also verify that the memory type and bus size is the same. Example, GDDR5, 128 bits.

  17. I can faintly see the frames of my glasses even when I'm not wearing them. Is this normal? I'm trying to decide if my retinas get 'burn-in' (longer than an after-image) or if it's psychological.

    1. RickR

      RickR

      You need to color shift your frames to prevent burn-in.

      Love it. This track ball and 8-bit computer missile command (in analog mode) is like tasty candy fun.
