Welp, just dropped another $2800. I can't stand their marketing or their shitty website, but the pewscience numbers are just unbelievable.

CAT MOB
CAT SC/B1
CAT SR/A2

Think I'm going to do a slick SP5K build to use as my MOB host.

That puts me at

(2) 30cal
(1) 45
(2) 9mm
(3) Rimfire

Surely I dont need any more cans now, right? :lol:

Love Vince but S1 was just alright. Took them 9 episodes to do what should've taken them 3 or 4 - we didn't need an entire season of them just showing how the world worked now. A lot of wasted time spent flexing the Apple budget. It was well produced TV with a level of quality that few other shows can replicate, but it is certainly not appointment viewing and a lot of people have lost or will lose interest.

No way this goes 4 seasons.

re: How bad is the real estate market in BR?

Posted by Carson123987 on 1/14/26 at 10:48 am to lilsnappa

Your house is beautiful and the exact kind I'm looking for. I pass by it every day on the way to/from work. Unfortunately it's too big for me (I'm single) and I'm trying to stay under $500k :lol: The problem is that $500k in BR gets you a cookie cutter pos with laminate flooring and a 2in gap between you and your neighbors house.

The market is absolute shite. House shopping here is the most depressing thing

I have 11 credit cards, all of which get paid off every month. Between the 11, I am getting

3% back on restaurants, transit, drugstores, streaming, and online grocery orders
4% back at gas stations
5% back on travel, Amazon, and Whole Foods
5% back on rotating categories
6% back at grocery stores

I made almost $5k last year in cashback/rewards. That's free money you're just throwing away if you use cash/debit card

For any Nier fans on here - footage from the orchestra concert at Carnegie Hall

Posted by Carson123987 on 1/13/26 at 9:21 am

I know we have some Nier fans on here, so this may interest you if you're a fan of the music. I managed to record a good bit of the 8pm show with my Meta glasses. I'm 99.99% sure we're going to get a bluray of the Tokyo show, but given this is Carnegie Hall, I wanted to capture as much of it as I could.

Playlist Link

A few caveats

- I was only able to capture footage from 10 songs, most from the pre-intermission portion of the show. Even though I taped up the LED that indicates a video is being recorded, the ushers quickly picked up on what I was doing and I got approached 3 times. You can see one of these in the Copied City video lol. They were constantly watching me for the second half of the show so I wasn't able to get as much from it. Sorry. Shame because I really wanted some footage of Inori (never performed in the US) and the final portions of a few songs like Fleeting Words, but I didn't want to test my luck.

- Meta glasses have a 3min recording cap. Most of the clips are 3 min, but on some fan favorites I managed to get more. I tried my best to immediately start another recording and stitch the clips together, but it's definitely not perfect.

- Though I've been generally impressed with the recording quality of the glasses, the video quality really suffers in low-light conditions. The ISO kicks in and causes the footage to have a lot of visual noise (graininess), though it's still possible to read the show's on-screen text in most instances. I recorded all the show audio with a Rode wireless mic as well, and the audio from the glasses actually came out a little better. I'd imagine the Rode audio would win out after some post processing work, but I'm not skilled enough in that area and we likely have a Bluray coming anyway.
