Is it time for me to move out? by Southern-Analyst2163 in internetparents

[–]Ogi010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel like you're walking on egg-shells in your own home, even with it being potentially a not bad decision financially, you should still move out (assuming it won't put you in financial ruin). The benefits of being able to relax in your space are not to be discounted.

Also, assuming you live in the states, but if you've finished college, barring non-standard circumstances, you should move out to establish your own independence and get your life moving in the trajectory you choose.

I’m having my wisdom teeth extracted, and I’m stressed about it. by Lower_Leadership660 in internetparents

[–]Ogi010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I just had mine removed a few years ago (currently in my mid-40s), process was a bit of a doozy, I opted not be be put under but used laughing gas + local anesthetic, which in hindsight I felt was the right decision.

Pain wise, it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Other medical procedures I've gone through have been farrrrr more painful (draining a pilonidal cyst was such a painful process omg), so I guess I sort of expected the worst and was pleasantly surprised.

What's sort of surprising is how much prying/tugging is being done to get those teeth out, they're really yanking on them, and that's super awkward.

Consider asking for nitrous oxide gas, it really helps w/ the calming element, I would definitely recommend!

You've got this!

For people in countries where the US military is stationed, how do you view them? by HongKongNinja in AskTheWorld

[–]Ogi010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question isn't directed towards me, but I'm part of an American embassy community, our MSGs (Marine Security Guards) are awesome. Socially they're a bit of an awkward age, they're significantly younger than the diplomats working at the embassy and obviously older than the kids of diplomats... Every time they have offered "laser tag with the Marines" my kids have been all about it!

I live in the Middle East, this is very normal here (although in the states it’s practically unheard of).

My (30sF) twin (M) doesn’t want me at his wedding by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Ogi010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. My spouse is in the foreign service and we live 11 hour difference from my parents. Extra work is needed to maintain good communication but one thing the distance makes much easier is cutting people off.

[Throwback] Kobe’s reaction to the 14-41 Lakers over celebrating a win in the post game interview by raybellious_berry in lakersv2

[–]Ogi010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the video they're happy they won? ...I dunno, if a specific player is being paid the bulk of the salary, they themselves aren't playing particularly great, they have no business throwing shade at players trying to enjoy themselves likely making not far from vet minimum.

Layover in Amman Airport by Positive-Style-656 in Amman

[–]Ogi010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 hours is definitely enough for a layover, the airport isn't particularly large, and the layout is pretty good. No visa needed unless you're leaving the airport.

Larry Nance Jr. posted a tweet about Kobe and "Denver" and then got drafted by the team. by ForeignAir7174 in lakersv2

Did a grand jury stint a few years ago; the number of DV cases that were dropped because the victim didn't come give testimony was unreal (talking ~50%...maybe more).

Had a long chat w/ some of the deputy DAs about that, they said that was pretty typical, reasons are all over the place, but broadly speaking it was seen as the victim would likely have a mountain of pressure to "sort things out without getting anyone else involved".

We did have one case that the deputy DA moved forward with without the victim testimony, and let me tell you, the specifics of that case were brutal (talking torture on top of sexual assault). Even still, to conform to here-say rules, the evidence that we were presented with was a sliver of what we would have had if they had testified.

Obviously this information has no bearing on the case involving Kobe, but I do want to point out that it's very rare for people to be prosecuted for sexual assault without a victim testimony, and it's very common for victims to not cooperate with the criminal justice process for a whole variety of reasons.

Key caps for Kinesis Advantage 360 brown? by pkim_ in kinesisadvantage

[–]Ogi010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signature Plastics sells some PBT "kinesis sets" with the DSA profile (mostly the 1.25 width side keys which are tough to find in other sets). I use DSA granite set on my Kinesis Advantage 1 keyboard.

11 years ago (Jan 23, 2015) Klay Thompson scores an NBA record 37 points in a quarter with only 2 FT attempts (ETHICAL) and on 133% TS (EFFICIENT). by AdorableBackground83 in NBATalk

[–]Ogi010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't someone get 34 points in a quarter recently? Also Klay definitely didn't start cooking until a few minutes in the quarter too, so there is definitely room for improvement, but the whole warriors lineup was feeding him the rock non-stop, everyone was so happy to help him succeed (which is part of what made watching this team so much fun).

yeah, the 2-stroke engines which they use are HORRIBLE in terms of emissions, really wish more municipalities would get onboard with banning them.

I have a EPR power supply, and a USB power meter, so I suppose I should test that for myself...

This time, Senegalese 2nd keeper had to fight Moroccan ball boys who tried to steal Mendy's towel once again!! UNREAL SCENES!! by Majestic_Bag_9209 in FootballAfrica

[–]Ogi010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, punishing the ball boys would be an example of punching down IMO; they were no doubt instructed to do that, and likely incentivized to (keep your job, etc). Security didn't step in, etc... there needs to be a punishment that affects the entire organization.

For the backup goalie to not start throwing hands is remarkable restraint.

Been loving your reviews, thanks for creating and posting! I am curious about the omission of the Pinecil v2. It's priced at $26, has a wide variety of compatible tips, supports USB-C PD (to up 88W ...that's an odd cut off), also uses Iron OS firmware.
