  Tactical Breach Wizards

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I fart all the time when I'm trying to sleep?!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop drinking milk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. They don’t want to provide them at all, but customers would get furious, so they cheap out as much as they can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird that you mention Panasonic, because that’s the brand I noticed it first with.

  The Panasonic cells that come with a device are usually garbage, also the stuff you get on flee markets and cheap packages on the Internet.

  They apparently have cells that hold up and weight noticeably more.

  For the standard sizes like AAA, AA and D cells there’s only Duracell for me. They’re still miles ahead of their competitors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience you can feel how good they are by how heavy they weight in your hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you manage to lose money on a 3 fund portfolio, if one of its strengths is that it never underperforms the market?

  Something doesn’t add up. Sounds and looks like you gambled first and then went with a solid investment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  BBY all in yolo!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not pictured: a flat of eggs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Look for brands from the Netherlands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to Update my PS4 controller exactly the same way using their app.

  I never had to update my Xbox controller. I get the standard 360 controllers, not the Xbox one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought they burn oil, but they just use oil instead of water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a cheap thermometer to place in the room you’re going to heat and look how much it is off the thermostat and regulate accordingly.

  Leaving one room cold while others are significantly warmer might raise the risk of mold significantly, because the warm air might cool in the cold room and condensate on the walls and windows, creating conditions for mold growth.

  I look that every room is at least about 16°C as an absolute minimum in winter.

  My toilet and drain is maintained well enough that it would flush some cat food if needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines latest DLC came out this week, 18 months after its "final" DLC came out last year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t you play PS4 games on a PS5?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Fincher Giving ‘Fight Club’ a 4K Remaster for the Film’s 25th Anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The tone of the movie was achieved by often filming in candle light.

  It was filmed on good analogue equipment that doesn’t need to be upscaled and fucked with to get the same results with a better resolution.

  I’m hopeful they don’t ruin it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, they weren’t a band though, just people that walked the crowd trying to convince people of jesus.

  I was a ruthless teenager questioning their beliefs until they got pulled away from me.

  They somehow couldn’t answer why I would need jesus, when I’m already doing all the things they claim they only do because they found jesus.

  Today I’m different and don’t question people’s believes as long as they don’t start harming others in the name of their god.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I met a group that called themselves ‘Jesus Freaks’, but they were just annoying trying to indocrinate people on music festivals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeezy has a bit of a negative stigma since Kanye went full Hitler

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Meta] Could we consider avoiding political topics in this community?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s less than 3 weeks to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Someone should have gotten sued over Kangaroo Jack for deceiving trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The movie was pod racing and Jar Jar binks. I can’t recall the trailer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Journalism on CNN is alright, it’s the political commentors that have been paid off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To address your point of toxicity, I didn’t get the impression. In fact it’s the first thing that popped into my head as well.

  Bethesdas reputation is just that tarnished.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re missing that he quit during the development of that crappy game, which gives him extra points for judgement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  10 years seems fine, if they start counting the moment they sold their last copy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good HR people see their employees as tools and they know that tools need special care to work properly.

  I’ve only had one HR member in the 5 big companies I’ve worked for that was like that, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m completely with you here. I found it super restrictive coming from San Andreas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I get a screw like this out?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a screwdriver with a slit and the right size might still be able to grab it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please stop making Alien movies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  uhm… my bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please stop making Alien movies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyway, Alien: Romulus is the seventh film about these particular monsters.

  That’s not the same.
