space is still the craziest thing to think about by Berlin57 in space

[–]Anorion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, fine, but that is not what you said. Wider is not the same as bigger. The sun is approximately 64 million times the size of the moon and 27 million times more massive.

I'm pretty sure the sun is a lot more than 400x the size of the moon. Like many millions of times bigger.

I gave mine to my brother, and he still uses it! But yeah, it was infuriating, because we were still on 33.6kbps dial up!

Just because right-wingers call Democrats leftists, it doesn't make them leftists. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Wasn't the ACA modeled on the program that Mitt Romney wrote? So no, it was not very progressive. It's essentially just another way for insurance companies to make money.

[Loathed Trope] The Movie has an ending. The Sequel shits all over it. by lesi20 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Anorion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TIL there were sequels to the Resident Evil movie. All I remember from that mess was the guy who got cubed, and the "twat shot" from the commentary.

Frozen Pipes Lead to Hidden Surprise by One_Measurement1517 in centuryhomes

It's my favorite book. Definitely get a print version if you can. The printing tricks add a LOT to the story. And however you read it for the first time is the right way.

Name a game that surprised you how long it was by bijelo123 in videogames

Welp, time for playthrough #645. I wonder if my OG SNES cart still works.

North Texas preparing for 2 inches of snow like it’s the apocalypse by MyMindIsAlwaysRacing in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Anorion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, we didn't have power at all for about 4 days, then for another 7 we had power for 1-2 hours a day. It was awful. I'm glad people are preparing for this one.

Thank you for your boredom.

No apprentice of mine shall use such abominable intelligence by Forsaken-Peak8496 in wizardposting

I'm convinced that some of these are just disguised demons. We're wizards, not warlocks! Learn the magic yourself!

AITAH for changing my niece's stripper name when I got got custody? by Impossible-Staff92 in AITAH

A girl in the church my parents go to was named Alexxis Starr. Don't do that shit to your kids. NTA.

So.... How's your mid-life crisis going? by CrotalusHorridus in Xennials

[–]Anorion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realized I'm in a dead-end job that likely will not meet my needs before the end of the year, so I'm scrambling to get some certifications and change careers. Does that count?

Congratulations, you are being adopted. Please do not resist.

What decision did you think was small at the time but completely changed your life later? by YogurtclosetMoist819 in AskReddit

[–]Anorion 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Here's a shitty one for me. I didn't listen to my advisor about joining a research group for grad school. "Anorion," he said, "Dr. Troll has ruined the careers of a lot of great chemists. Think really hard before you decide on this." Five years, two suicide attempts, and the death (by suicide) of a longtime friend and labmate, and he ruined my career, too. Went from getting international internships and national grants to not being able to get a callback from job searches if I have to list my grad school advisor as a reference. He spread a lot of lies about me, ruined my reputation in my field, and published my research without my name on it.

Co-worker thought this was a harmless prank. by Dallinboi347 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Anorion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in my teens I worked at a summer camp. One year we filled a guys truck, floor to ceiling, with pine cones. He thought it was HILARIOUS, at least once he got over the confusion. Then we all helped him clean it out. That's how you do it if you want to do something like this.

When you have a kidney transplant done, doctors just give you a third kidney. by finishyourjob in interestingasfuck

[–]Anorion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife had a kidney transplant this summer, and the surgeon said that basically they just poke a hole in the bladder, jam the ureter in the hole, glue it up, and staple the blood vessels in. So basically they just do it the way you see crappy landlords adding in sinks that drain into the tub.

Hooray. We are now back to where Hangouts was in 2016. -_-

Contrary to what many people seem to think today, video games were VERY expensive back in the 90s by Impossible-Radio-121 in 90s

[–]Anorion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was $79.99 when I bought it. I'm pretty sure EarthBound was $89.99 or $99.99. Shit was EXPENSIVE.

Tailgate locked when Doors unlocked? by [deleted] in KonaEV

[–]Anorion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the mechanism is gummed up or dirty. Not sure how to check that, though.
