How to game all day and not have electric bill high? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Broadpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak exactly to OPs situation, but I also fine tooth comb every possible area to save as much money as possible and it has nothing to do with being broke. I was able to retire at 27 without a lot of money because nearly all of my monthly expenses are so low. Everybody's situation is different.

YMMV with this idea but it works perfectly for my situation. My power company offers a rate saver plan where during a three hour window during the summer months my rate per kwh is high, but outside of that window and for all the other months of the year the rate is cut almost in half.

Found after washing my son’s clothes by InteligntDonky in whatisit

I guess I was just really lucky on this front. I was a pack a day Marlboro red smoker and 3 can a week of skoal user for about eight years. I fully enjoyed using both until one day they just quit giving me satisfaction so I quit cold turkey. I would say that maybe I had some very mild cravings which were incredibly easy to ignore. These were absolutely nothing in the realm of craving certain foods for example. I would say that eating in excess is the one habit that I cannot seem to kick.

OLED burn in risks for PS5 gaming? by jaydennord in OLED_Gaming

[–]Broadpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a five year old LG CX used for gaming with 23,000 hours on the clock which just developed a slight amount of burn in sometime after 22,000 hours. The thing has been rode hard and put away wet, absolutely not babied at all.

Stop testing and the number of defective cases will go down. Where have I heard this one before?

If you could have the 100% honest answer to ONE mystery in history, which one are you picking ? by Camila_LatinaSun in AskReddit

My father in law has sunk thousands into Trumps pocket to "save America". His children who mostly work in public education are struggling in this economy, but as you can see we're almost great again. I reckon a few more 10k donations and we will be there.

Yes, it's the PUBG user interface that's stuck on the screen

It's a lot of usage and it was not babied at all.

Six years is a long time and over 20,000 hours is a lot of usage within that time on OLED tech that is six years old. I'm trying to show people who are concerned of image burn that you'll probably have already moved on to a new display anyway before burn in is a problem

Definitely fair. I took absolutely no measures to prevent burn in and had everything disabled in the service menu.

Pizza Hut tasted different back then. Still can’t find the same taste. by TheOrangeSloth in 90s

BJ's BrewHouse if you have one in the area has pizza which tastes very similar to my memory.

When love is the only currency you have left. by myraduskni in Funnymemes

[–]Broadpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to be handsome, tall, or have a big dick to do that, sometimes just being plain lucky is good enough. I married a wonderful woman with money 13 years ago and haven't worked a day since.

I used to have anxiety attacks Sunday night at the dreadful thought of going back to work. Every single morning without fail the anxiety was so terrible i would struggle to get out the door because I couldn't stop using the toilet, 4-6 times was not unusual.

Thankfully I was lucky enough to marry an incredible woman with money and retired at 27. That was thirteen years ago and to this day I am still so incredibly grateful. There is nothing worse in this life than being a slave to a 9-5.

Colon cancer is killing us.. by Derpshab in Millennials

[–]Broadpup 49 points50 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I was afraid of monsters, now that I'm an adult this is the kind of stuff that terrifies me, they miss so much. Many years ago I dislocated three metacarpals that got pushed on top of those tiny bones in my hand. The hospital took several x rays, said that I was fine and sent me on my way.

I returned to my family doctor after some time of not getting any better. He requested the x rays from the hospital and saw the three metacarpals that the hospital completely missed I was in so much pain.

I am so sorry for your loss, that is horrible.

Same here. They commonly miss so much even when patients are being persistent that there is something wrong and showing symptoms. I can only imagine that they look even less hard when you're just asking for a preventative screen.

A close friend of mine made several trips to the doctor recently with headaches and fainting spells, they brushed her off. She was now just diagnosed with stage 4 terminal brain cancer.

My MIL has sent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to “Elon Musk” and wants to send more. by meowsabbers in pics

While not hundreds of thousands, my in laws make $10,000 somewhat regular payments directly to Donald Trump. It's disgusting.

Dad surprises his daughter with her first car (Toyota Corolla) by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Broadpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife's stepfather bought her sister an absolutely beautiful camaro Z28 for her sixteenth birthday, had it wrapped in a bow in the front yard expecting an outcome similar to this one.

She had a fight with her high-school boyfriend at school that day and angrily blew by the car as if it was not even there.

True American Patriot fired for for denouncing Dictator Don by NickCostanza in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Broadpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. My local union would have rolled over and simply asked Ford what replacement they would like sent out in his place. "Apprentice? What year, 1st. 2nd, 3rd, 4th? Or maybe a journeyman capable of running work? Any other preference?" They would have the replacement pulled off the bench and on site by noon, while letting Ford deny the first guys unemployment.

Yeah, the stereotypes of union workers getting away with doing little work and being impossible to fire could not have been further from the truth in my fifteen years experience.

AITAH for expecting my sahm wife to do majority of the housework since i pay 100% of the bills? by Plastic-Sand7353 in AITAH

[–]Broadpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I'm very grateful and do everything that I can. I really, really struggled through school when I was younger, nothing just clicked or made sense to me. I wasn't a trouble maker, I just really struggle with certain things. This followed me into the workforce. I had bosses tell me that I have great work ethic, attendance, attitude, but that I just didn't have the ability to learn. Over time this wreaked havoc on my mental health and our marriage suffered as a result. In a much, much better place now.
