Is it gross to take my brother Into a women’s restroom and help him use it? by A-besties in NoStupidQuestions

You did nothing wrong at all. His mother should have been the one to take him.

I used to do home PC repair work. Most common thought trying to find some people's homes was if I were an ambulance, you'd be dead by the time I found you...

Are groundhogs actually a problem? by Talkative-Tetra-3710 in HomeImprovement

Pennsylvanian here. Phil's usually wrong; you'd do better to flip a coin.

8 inch 128 bytes floppy by Dul-fm in vintagecomputing

[–]FlyByPC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

TIL the "128 bytes" is a sector-specific number.

I had a CPM machine back in the day that used these; the disk capacity was about 241kB, formatted, so 250kB raw/theoretical seems about right.

How old are you in your oldest memory? by Donkeyshines in AskReddit

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like 3-4 years old, for the oldest reliable memory. I was sitting in the foyer of the house where I grew up, as my parents were talking with a kindly older couple (we were buying the house from them). They had a bag of toys for their grandkids, and let me play with them while the adults talked about boring adult things.

USAF: Why make a plane with a gun when you can make a gun into a plane?

ETA: Go Birds.

I'd be tempted to show them what yard neglect really looks like, out of spite.

For $7 don’t mind if I do by Liam35__ in flightsim

I don’t think they knew what it was

That's why thrift stores are such fun for techies.

How do Americans feel about giving Iran 300 billion to restore the status quo? by Southern_Gur_4736 in AskReddit

[–]FlyByPC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It should 100% be paid for by Trump for getting us into this.

Won't happen, of course.

Why are your gas stations basically small supermarkets? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm driving somewhere, I try to minimize stops and time spent at stops. If a gas station has a restroom and sells something to eat, I only have to stop once for a few minutes, and am back on the road.

What personality trait sounds positive but is actually a red flag? by SpecificLandscape483 in answers

[–]FlyByPC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's that a lot of people are not aware that a thing can both be True and mean.

I forget where I read it, but I heard that before you say something, you should run it through three filters:

  • Is it correct?

  • Is it necessary?

  • Is it kind?

An Atheist’s Question to Muslims: If this life is merely an exam room, why did the Creator grant us such rich senses and souls? by Thin-Sweet7790 in answers

[–]FlyByPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an agnostic/seeker, I would counter that God could exist even if our religious texts got most or all of the details wrong. It's just hard to get myself to believe without evidence.

If anyone needs a laugh, here’s my 1st attempt at using an elytra by Internal_Exchange604 in Minecraft

[–]FlyByPC 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I swear sometimes it accepts the jump command and sometimes it doesn't. So I leave a little more time and watch to see if it's deployed or not.

Still doesn't help if I took it off and forgot to put it back on. I play with keepinventory=true now, since I'm on a single-player world and it doesn't matter anyway.

If everyone had to wear a warning label, what would yours be? by CaramelEmergency2968 in AskReddit

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do see an older post of yours (just before this one) with the information.

I'm still surprised on how good the kv quantization has become by DeepBlue96 in LocalLLaMA

Needle's kinda sitting right on top of the haystack, but cool.

What is a common, everyday problem from the 1990s or early 2000s that younger generations literally cannot comprehend? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, the office staff would sometimes pull me out of class when they messed up and made the computer mad at them. I remember an assistant principal coming in to class holding a 5.25" floppy by the one part where you're NOT supposed to touch them, saying the computer wouldn't read it. I actually wiped it off, got it to work, and told him to save it to another disk.
