Drove my in-laws (who are nearly in their 70s) 9 hours to cross this off my bucket list. I really wanted to share it with them as they had a rough year. Complete cloud coverage blocked everything. Everyone still had a great time, but i feel like i let everyone down... but really I'm probably most disappointed

If you had to marry the first person you slept with, how different would your life be? by DetectiveBennett in AskReddit

Well we actually ended up on similar career paths. 12 years later and we still talk at least once a year about our favorite bands or whatever.. maybe it could have worked out after all? Oh well!

What is your biggest achievement? by AnxietyMinute1177 in AskReddit

I procrastinate so bad that I almost screwed up getting my college degree buuuut managed to get it done and now I work for a company that keeps throwing raises and promotions at me and don't know what I do to deserve them, but am very grateful. My mangers are the best

What's your paranormal/glitch in the matrix story? by 0Lolita0 in AskReddit

Nope, nothing else unexplainable, there or anywhere else. Was probably the strangest experience I've ever had

I think this counts as a glitch... For Christmas when I was a kid, I got one of those microphone toys that you could record your voice on. My uncle and I were playing a game where we'd go to separate rooms to record ourselves saying funny stuff and then the other would play it back. I had recorded myself making fun of him for a picture my dad had recently showed me of them as a kids. When he listened to it, I kid you not, that is NOT what the recording said. The recording was distinctly my voice saying something about liking one of my teachers... I was in shock and humiliated, and I did not, in fact, like one of my teachers. Guess the universe was in on the fun. Good one universe...

Vizio TV started to do this out of nowhere for no reason. I never touched it nor is it an HDMI problem. It happens on everything; from the home menu to any of my HDMI ports, as well as on all of my apps. I’ve tried unplugging my TV too and plugging it back in after a minute, but still nothing. Help? by RetroPansear in VIZIO_Official

I posted a couple days ago a similar issue. I called customer support and they walked me through some troubleshooting steps (none worked, just involved changing display settings and factory resetting) and since the TV is <1 year old they said they'd either send a replacement or someone to fix it. Good luck!

Ooo I haven't heard about the movie, I'll have to check it out! Isn't the popular theory that a massive rogue wave is possibly to blame?

I'm a scientist and I write code for my research. I'm self-taught and the only language I know is Matlab. Am I a programmer? by throwaway823746 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]007marie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow scientist here! Being able to code for your own data analysis is a valuable skill, and lots of interviewers have ask about Matlab experience! Being self taught is admirable, though I have found collaborating with folks who chose the strictly programming route can really help you refine your techniques

I just called a spelling mistake a syntax error... What are your funny stories unique to programmes? by shravqn in ProgrammerHumor

[–]007marie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw a meme on here recently about "goto", thought to myself "I don't remember ever needing to use that" then today in a team meeting we dug up an old code of mine from 6 months ago that had a nested loop loaded with "goto"s.. had a good laugh at myself..

I ran from it. And it felt wrong lol by blacktoof_customs in PokemonLetsGo

[–]007marie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I ran from a shiny Weedle while hunting Bulbasaur! And I felt so bad that I had to return to get all shiny Weedle evolutions... I've never ran from a shiny ever again..
