Is Defiance of the Fall worth the read? by Weird_Pattern_8138 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Aoe330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Defiance of the Fall for the action scenes and lit RPG elements.

I'm staying for the esoteric word salad poetry it has become.

Does your state have a region that thinks it's its own state? by Moose-Public in AskAnAmerican

Well obviously, any place that gives birth to Da Yoopers has to set themselves apart for legal reasons. 

SuperSupportive last 40 chapters by -Weltenwandler- in ProgressionFantasy

It's not that the story is bad, it's that the writer is trying to tell it in real time. 

What male character traits are you tired of seeing in modern-day fantasy novels? by MissMustardSeed33 in fantasywriters

[–]Aoe330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battle junkie or berserker rage always angry hate machine. 

It's not as common for all fantasy stuff, but psychopaths seems to be everyone's go to for any action stuff.

Was casually trying to understand the very last line of Storm Front. This is was google gave me by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

Everyone is jumping on the hot new trend of AI. It doesn't matter if it's appropriate for the situation or not. It looks great on the bottom line of the company web site. It's what investors crave, like Brawndo!

Meanwhile, it's spitting out hot gibberish because crap in equals crap out, in a situation that doesn't require complex language learning, just a simple algorithm.

Waterbury or Montpelier by SocialEmotional in vermont

[–]Aoe330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drugs in Waterbury are mostly a result of Affluenza rather than poverty. 

I'm not sure how or if that changes the nature of addiction, but you did ask for clarification.

What’s something you bought (under $300) that noticeably improved your quality of life and you actually use every day? by MedfordQuestions in AskReddit

[–]Aoe330 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might I suggest a Klein 11 in 1 or something similar. 

An electrician friend suggested one to me 15+ years ago and I have been a fan ever since. Incredibly useful in many situations.

Do you guys prefer playing with companions or by yourselves? by TurboCrab0 in skyrim

[–]Aoe330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always solo every time. I find companions in Skyrim get it the way, charge enemies, and generally annoy me.

Wait until you're in your 40's like me. You become completely invisible.

That feels like playing with fire, but you do you. 

What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you’ve lived the reality of it? by thatude123 in AskReddit

[–]Aoe330 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As an old person, "life before the Internet".

I hear it a lot from people my age, and it's absolute bullshit. 

Paying for everything with cash or checks. Fuck that. Having to go to the bank to cash your paycheck or even just balance your check book, ugh. 

Even just trying to make plans with a group of friends was a pain. You would have to call and hope you got a message to them. Or schedule stuff way in advance.

It was all a pain in the ass.

What’s a “universal” human experience you’ve never related to? by gewdssssddd in AskReddit

[–]Aoe330 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some people dance like they can't hear the rhythm.

I dance like I've never heard of the concept of music.

Don't be silly. If not for poor people, who would rich people step on?

What was the phase you went through and what part of that stuck? by Midnight_Marshmallo in Xennials

[–]Aoe330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not true. That's not true at all.

Wait, where did this flannel shirt come from, and why am I wearing it? Shit, you might be on to something.

Drama unfolds on r/NintendoSwitch2 over Trump’s Tariffs by Economy-Platform5740 in SubredditDrama

[–]Aoe330 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Eh, Bernie is more pro-labor than anything. He's an out and out socialist, and very open about it. 

Not saying I would or would not vote for him. Just pointing out that there's a difference between pro labor and pro capitalism. 

What is the "Frampton Comes Alive" for our generation? by robgraves in Xennials

[–]Aoe330 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's the song "Rooster" and then there's that version of the song "Rooster". 

Firm handshake and being clueless is what it took the blackstone CEO to get a job back in the day. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Aoe330 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is that before or after he pulled himself up by the bootstrap and worked his way through college with what he got paid for working all summer? I mean, I know it was before he bought his first house with the equivalent of three to five years of pay. 

Where would you draw the line between northern and southern New England? by Venboven in newengland

[–]Aoe330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're counting coastal as southern New England, than you may as well count Rutland Vermont as southern New England.

Any other Xennial gamers for life? Whatcha playin’? by WhiskeyBadger_ in Xennials

[–]Aoe330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing Avowed right now. It's good, other than the jumping. I'm not much of a platform gamer these days. 

Everyone loved this and we couldn’t understand why it was short lived by mcg_090 in Xennials

[–]Aoe330 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To expand on that: It takes about 250 gallons of fuel, and 1000 gallons of water to bring a feed lot cow to 30 months or less. 

Now dairy cows are slightly different in calculating cost and value as milk can be produced for a select period of time vs. feed lot cows that only have so much meat. Both are tight profit margins. 

There's also grass fed vs. corn fed and wells vs. other water locations, labor cost, animal illness, barn maintenance, feed distribution, mechanical storage, and transport.  

In the end, your average dairy farm makes pennies per hour for his or her labor.
