    Sledgstone got a reaction from DeathscytheX in Deep into my one and only mobile game, Facebook caught wind. 🙄 I've spent the past 2   
    A friend of mine asked me to look up some Rec Tec smokers and now all my Facebook ads are for Rec Tec grills. the only Facebook ads I had to block are political ones. Trump specifically. I hate the guy, I sure as hell don't want to see his face on my feed in between posts from the meat smoking fans and pomeranian fans posts.
    My feed is like.. onion article, cute dog, smoked prime rib, space article, random friend posts, cat memes, kotaku article, etc. Most of my ads now are amazon and walmart products I've googled.
    One of the funniest ads I saw was for traeger grills. It was a smoker and the guy cooking ribs was wearing a suit. The comments were amazing. "When I smoke meat I always wear my suit, that way I smell like charcoal at the office."

    Its windows 10. Plain and simple. There is so much horseshit that screws with PC performance its unreal. Like we discussed before, you can edit the registry to disable superfetch, compatibility telemetry, and all that other junk that eats up disk usage, and the very next update it all gets reactivated. My next PC will have an SSD, but I don't see me upgrading for another few years. The 100% disk usage is a constant issue for me the first 10 minutes my PC launches. Thats even with disableing everything from loading on start up besides some key apps for my mouse, keyboard, and headphones. Avast and Malwarebytes too.. but thats all that starts up and I still get 100%. Avast is the main culprit for the first 5 min but then its all these windows processes that if I end task will lock my PC up and I have to restart anyways. I just know ending task on super fetch and telemetry provides instant relief.

    I got 2 windows updates in a single week. I've turned my PC one every day for the past 2 weeks so once wasn't some delayed update because of it. After the first update I figured I was set for a while then a few days later GW2 kept lagging super hard and locking up... yup, another update. I really don't get why there are so many updates. I don't leave my PC on all the time like I use to, Its on for about 4-6 hours a day when i work. So programming it to update later is pointless. What are they constantly fucking up for there to be an update so frequently? Why can't we advance into the future to where we don't have to restart every time... and whats even worse these days is every program demands their own induced restart... just using normal restart doesn't count for Avast, and various other programs that update.. no they have to restart through their app. wtf

    Sledgstone reacted to Strider Hiryu in Now I understand why the last Lord of the Rings movie had such a long endless ending.   
    You mean so much better Yea the end of RotK kinda drags on for quite awhile with a lot of little things that weren't exactly necessary to get the story across (but remember, Tolkien was a world builder before a storyteller and he built one hell of a world).
    God what I wouldn't give for a literal book to TV series adaptation of Lord of the Rings (preferably HBO, Netflix does good stuff but I think HBO would do it much more justice). The movies were a little too condensed for my tastes and honestly not as enjoyable as a TV series would be.

    Honestly these books were way too long for movies. It was made too early. With HBO and Netflix these days, this would have been an amazing 5-7 season series easily. Digesting all of it an hour at a time would have made it more enjoyable and manageable.

    Yeah paying off definitely hurts a little which is silly. I think instead of too much debt its how much debt compared to how much credit you have. I was almost $80-90k in debt at one point between my credit cards and my student loans. But thanks to discover cards ridiculously huge credit line I was still $40k under my total limit. I think having everything maxed out is what gets you. Credit card debt apparently is a science to the formula. I got myself into some trouble loading them all up, but I never maxed them out and I always paid on time more than the minimum, even if it was $10 more than the minimum. I have everything on autopay the minimum just so I don't miss if I forget.  I was like $30k in debt in just credit cards at one point. Now I have 2 lines with only around $500 each, and my Discover is at $6800 which I really need to work on better. Every year I had been using a large chunk of my tax returns to pay off the cards.

    I have a love hate relationship with Kohl's. You really got to shop their ads because everything is extremely overpriced. But their credit line with insanely low minimum payment requirements and virtually no interest is super convenient. Plus when they do Kolh's cash, its easy to rack up. I haven't paid for socks or underwear in years. I buy all my work pants and shirts there when they do buy one get one half off. Although lately I've been ordering off their website instead. Its like a conspiracy of my life that stores never have my pants size. I've always wore 30 length, but as I've gotten older and fatter I've gone from a 34 waist to a 38. I fluctuate between a 36 and 38 depending on my eating habits (holiday's yo). I generally get Dockers or Croft and Barrow pants with those flex waists so I don't have to buy pants for the change or have 2 sets of them. I go with 38x30s, or 38x29s if necessary. but no, they always have like 24x30s or 48x30s . WTF it's always opposite extremes... super skinny or morbidly obese, while all the normal people sizes are out of stock. I never understand why they overstock on the minority of what people wear instead of keeping way more sizes that actually sell off the shelves. Same thing with shoes. I hate shoe shopping. I wear size 12-13 depending on the brand. When I go to the store they have a ton of size 7s and a few 14s extra wide. They'll have a couple 9-10s for people that wear those sizes but pretty much hardly any 12-13s, and only in the shoes I'm not interested in. My wolverine boots have been looking ROUGH lately. They still work and feel great, but as middle management, they don't look professional anymore. I just went on academy sports website and ordered the same pair in the same size. Boom. And brick and mortar wonder why they're going out of business. 🙄
    People say having too many lines of credit isn't good. but I wonder how many lines are the threshold? I have 5 lines of credit (Visa, Discover, Mastercard, Kohl's, Paypal) and a car note which replaced my student loan. My credit score is 805. I've also heard cancelling a credit card will hurt your credit as it erases the history of that line, and keeping a balance and paying it on time is more important than 0 balance. All my major credit cards have 10 year old balances. I never pay them off, I'll keep them around $200. I want my score to be super high. I'll never forget the look on the car salewoman's face when she pulled my credit when I bought my car.

    That wallet looks ok.. then I saw that leather sleeve and now it looks like a product I'd use. Like you guys I have way too much crap in my wallet. I have 9 cards in my wallet.  discover, visa, 3 debit cards from my different checking accounts, FSA card, health insurance, drivers license and subway rewards card. I can chuck the subway rewards card and use the app tho, so I might do that soon.  I am tempted to get a kohls card because I bought alot of clothes from them last black friday for me and lady... I have even more cards but I don't keep them in my wallet, like my credit cards for tractor supply and ashley furniture. lol. My wallet reminds me George's from that Seinfeld episode.

    Heh, I was there once and I know the struggle. Two Towers was such a good book up until all the Frodo/Sam traveling (I mean the Battle at Helm's Deep is fucking epic, more so in the books then on screen). I say that knowing full well the entirety of the Treant thing takes place (I actually enjoyed that, Tolkien put so much time into explaining things I can't help but love those slow but aggravating Treants).
    Return of the King is so much faster paced then Two Towers (mostly because I think Tolkien felt the need to finish the story, even if there is another whole story in the appendices that covers what happens after the end of RotK). Everything just plays out so quickly and then it ends. Man I really need to re-read LotR again as the last time I read it was in high school. Hell I just need to re-read it, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion (by far the toughest read of the three but by far my favorite).
    Even if I own the 15 disc BD of the LotR movies I'll probably never re-watch it unless it's on TV. I have so many issues with the movies even if I did enjoy them originally (fuck I went to all three on the first night they showed). They just left so much out when they adapted them.

    I enjoyed them for what they were on the first watch though, I doubt I'll ever watch them again. If not for a very very long time into the future when I forget most of everything. I remember the last movie just having so many fake out endings leading into another scene that might be the end it started pissing me off. EndCeption.

    Sledgstone got a reaction from DeathscytheX in And now my skyscale collection needs jumping puzzles. I knew it was coming but still.   
    The jumping puzzles are done. I ended up crafting 5 of those pungent foods to skip a few. lol. I made the saddle last night. All I have left is to do those 28 rifts.. This collection was beyond massive. What I don't get is Anet said they didn't want to do anymore legendary collections because they spanned multiple maps and could break.. yet heres the skyscale collection that is so big and spans so many maps its crazy to me. If they could do this they could have done more legendary collections. oh well. Its been a fun although extremely time consuming experience. But I'm definitely feeling more bonded with this mount than the others because of all the work put into getting it. And to top it off, anet really wants to sell skins for it.. one dye channel for the entire default mount skin? wtf. But I bet the skin sales for this mount will be far less than the others. I can only imagine the amount of people that got burned out on this collection and won't finish it. And if a large chunk of players don't finish it, then theres less incentive for anet to make more skins for it.
