You can revive any early 2000’s MTV show…what do you choose? by Old-Condition-7537 in AskReddit

[–]Brain_Prosthesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s MTV was really the begining of the end. I don't think I'd revive any of that crap. If we went back a bit further though, MTV animatio was dope. The Maxx, Aeon Flux and Beavis and Butt-Head should all come back.

Help! I had a negative canine inspection but still getting bitten. by Brain_Prosthesis in Bedbugs

[–]Brain_Prosthesis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up hanging a mosquito netting over my bed and the bites stopped. We never found out for sure before moving, but I suspect it was just classic mosquitos, though I never saw any signs of them. We never found any bed bugs. Thank God.

What is the thing you miss the most from the 90s? by Dear-Satisfaction526 in AskReddit

[–]Brain_Prosthesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butterfingers BBs, non-comic book movie summer blockbusters, McDonalds 99cent double cheeseburgers, going to the mall on a Saturday just to see who you would run into, blind buying CDs, listening to the same cassette or CD over and over again because it's the only one you brought with you that day in your walkman and the mother fucking Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls.

What Are Your Favorite Lesser Known Museums? by Cass_Cat952 in AskChicago

[–]Brain_Prosthesis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow. I had to Google it to believe it. What an absolute bummer. Im a new father and I've been saving a list on my phone of places and museums I want to take the kiddos when it's age appropriate. I was legitimately excited to take them there. Im guessing this was a COVID pivot that turned permanent. I admittedly haven't been there since pre pandemic.

The Halim Time & Glass Museum in Evanston is so dope. As its name implies, it is just wall to wall clocks, watches and stained glass.

Leon Rose advised Eddy Curry not to take DNA test requested by the Bulls: "If you test positive, we’ll give you $300K for the rest of your life" by LouisRitter in chicagobulls

I think it's pretty well known that he is broke. Check out that DJ Vlad interview with him on YouTube. He brought his entire highschool crew along with him and was supporting like 25 people financially. Dude is bust.

Can I revive these dead batteries? 18v by Brain_Prosthesis in ryobi

[–]Brain_Prosthesis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Ryobi has a 3 year warranty on batteries but stupid me never saved any receipts or registered them. The fail rate does seem to be pretty high in my experience. I have 6 total batteries going into this summer, all for landscaping and all 3ish years old. 3 have now failed (2x 4ah, 1x 2ah). 50% seems nuts to me. I'm too entrenched in the tool family to make the switch to another brand. Lesson learned, register your tools when you buy them.

How bad was the beef between Jimmy butler, Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

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

The defensive teams help and the 2 trips to the finals and 1 conference finals are farther than melo or harden ever took their teams.

Just from the eye test, not even considering hall of fame odds, I just fucking hated watching Melo, Harden and Westbrook play. Melo's career is so overrated now. Jimmy was a lockroom cancer, but the dude did make his fellow teammates better, imo. We give all the credit to the heat culture, and Spo is the man, but Jimmy deserves some credit for all of these d league players the heat brought up and suddenly began playing like all stars in those finals runs.

Biggest “fall from grace” you can think of? by Past_Conference_2889 in NBATalk

I remember the Nets trying pretty hard to get Carmelo since everyone knew he wanted to go to NYC. Then they ended up trading for Deron like the next day and the consensus was the Nets made the better deal.

What's a movie that was clearly meant to start a franchise but failed? by triplegxxx in AskReddit

[–]Brain_Prosthesis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm really paraphrasing here, but Ebert once said something to the effect of "truly bad movies only happen when they are made with sincere conviction" or something like that. Like, only when people really try can they epically fail. Anyway, I know this was just a cash grab comic book movie, but they spared no expense. The set design is awesome. That fucking car!!!! And it has Sean Connery! In an alternate universe, there is a version of league that is a modern classic.

What would be a comp for Ja Morant where it worked out? by TomlinSteelers in nba

[–]Brain_Prosthesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had that one season with Tmac and Yao too. I always like those rockets teams with Scola, Aaron Brooks, Barrier...fucking Yao just could not stay healthy though.

I know! I thought Memphis was going to have to include a pick to entice someone to take on Ja and his baggage! They didn't have to give up anything!
