    KingKeith55 got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies   
    So, at my school there was a large whiteboard display in our old classroom.
     
    It uses VGA, and one day the VGA adapter was loose because it wasn't screwed in correctly, so certain pins weren't connected. This caused the screen to display everything in shades of red. The teachers thought it was a problem with the display ITSELF and not that the VGA cable was not connected.
     
    In the end, they ended up spending like 100-200$ getting a repair person to come in and fix it.

    One time this kid brought his laptop to school, and well me and a few friends noticed there was "Optimizer Pro" On his computer (A rogue software). As soon as my friend noticed, He screamed out "UNINSTALL IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!" The kid who had the laptop replied, "But optimizer pro optimizes my pc to make it faster. If you remove it my computer will be slow" In the end he uninstalled it, because we told him that it was actually a virus. Hes one of those kids that torrents everything without even checking for those attached downloads and crap and thinks they dont do anything. Nowadays you gotta check all the time with software installers and such.

    probably like half a pack is where i would draw the line.
     
    I used to smoke a quarter pack a day but I cut back to only having like 2 or something. only exception is when im out with friends or some shit, then I smoke more.
     
    in Canada cigarettes are expensive as fuck unless you're smoking shitty native smokes, so i won't ever go over a quarter pack a day.
     
    as for where you feel addicted i would say the quarter pack a day mark is where if you stop you will want one pretty bad. Not like you need one but you want one really bad, personally i had no trouble quitting at that amount. (although i still really wanted a cigarette especially if someone else was having one)
     
    i can't say what it's like trying to quit after smoking more than that because I set limits for my bad habits.

    KingKeith55 got a reaction from dalekphalm in Which is better for first car?   
    I would never suggest euro cars unless you live there, or you're relatively wealthy and have the money to drop on something much newer. Parts aren't super easy to find for older stuff, and either way the parts are expensive.
     
    Miatas are kind of a toy. They're not a bad car, but they're not practical at all. Most of the people who drive them are teenagers who want to drift and fuck around in them, and that's what they're good at. Nothing wrong with that.
     
    Honestly if you want something good and reliable I always hear good things about Toyotas. Hell, I bought a 2006 Corolla for $1500 and it was in pretty good condition. Never had any issues with it, and the A/C still works in it too. I can't tell you how well they do in the winter because the tires on it right now are crap, and it has trouble getting traction from a stop in heavy snow or really slippery conditions. I bet if I had actual decent tires it would be okay though.
     
    Either way since it's your first car there's like a 90% chance you're going to dent and scratch it a little bit by accident. Go for something cheap.

    This is why I can't go back to Android. I remember having the S5 and G2 back in the day and right when they both updated to 5.0, their batteries went to crap for no reason whatsoever. I mean, this is what happens when you lend out an OS to hundreds of manufacturers. Inconsistency.

    KingKeith55 got a reaction from NvidiaIntelAMDLoveTriangle in Can a microphone ignore sounds coming from speakers?   
    It's theoretically possible using software (most likely a DAW of sorts). However it might not work that well in practice. The only way to do it would be to route all of the sounds that come from the speakers into a DAW, while also routing the microphone input, and then inverting the speaker sounds, playing both at once and then using what it plays as the real microphone output.
     
    Sorry for poor explanation. It's basically just inverting speaker sounds, that when played along with the microphone input that's picking up speaker sounds, cancels out any sounds coming from the speakers being picked up by the microphone.

    KingKeith55 reacted to Princess Luna in Ok, real talk, Linus SHOULD own a lambo by now.   
    Personally speaking, as someone who thinks normal 1080p youtube playback is already good enough, leave alone 1440p or 4k, this camera alongside the so called "justifications" provided in the video was probably one of the dumbest "improvements" Linus ever afforded regardless of how hard they try justifying it.
     
    As Corridor Digital explained this gear is for extremely expensive movie scenes don't go to waste due to bad recording, get one of these to make normal footage inside the office that can be repeat as many times as needed as there is no expensive renting things and places costs makes no sense what so ever, quality wise included, there is not point in 8k at all.
     
    I will be honest even if it sounds offensive, it felt that purchasing this camera, accessories and upgrading the editing computer to be capable of handling the 8k footage and all true justification is that he wanted feel professional and badass and Linus went on his talk... because there is no actual genuine sense in what they did, as stated on OP Linus should've just got himself a second hand Ferrari for the lulz.

    You realize your kid might be the complete opposite of you. He might be an aspiring pro football player or bodybuilder for example, and not a nerdy kid. Stop thinking about yourselves, and think about your kid. Who the fuck would want to be named that anyways? Give him a normal name. Something that you can't go wrong with. If you name him something like calculus, he'll end up with a name change. Just because you would be happy with the name calculus, doesn't mean your kid would be. 
     
    Everyone is different, and your kid might end up different than you. I think you're failing to understand this.

    In what way it damages your brain? And how that can be gateway drug? Then we should consider cigarettes gateway to everything.
