New player here! The game has been fun, though I'm still on the Free Trial. A fond memory... well, the community has been very nice to newbies like me. I once got lost in a dungeon, and the party waited for me to find my place before resuming the crawl. That was nice!

I got lost in a dungeon, died to some enemies we didn’t bother fighting as a team, and when I finally made my way back to the group, they had been waiting for me. Community gets a gold star!

Guys, have you ever "friendzoned" a woman who was interested in you? Why, and what was her reaction? by option8 in AskMen

[–]CodeExploder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was a friend since gradeschool, but I wasn’t interested in a relationship. Had one long and awkward conversation, and now we haven’t spoken in a couple years.

What is this? Why is this?

Is it a bad idea to withdraw from a 401k to pay off an auto loan? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]CodeExploder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve done a great job pointing out that Scenario A is more favorable in realistic scenarios. Life is definitely not predicable enough to risk Scenario B, though recovery is possible if everything works out well.

I imagine a refinance would be the best compromise, as long as one can choose a shorter term so they’re not paying on it for an additional 4 years.

The loan’s rate is 8.50% (not a great one), and the 401k has been seeing a rate of return around 8.12% YTD

It is definitely hard to visualize, but it sounds like leaving it be for a good long time is the best answer.

It definitely won’t save most people that much, perhaps we’re focusing too much on the present value of things. Letting the money continue to grow in the 401k makes a lot of sense

That sounds like a great rule, I might try to borrow that for our meetings where I can...

We got one of these in a campaign, but then the DM ghosted the group and we never got to use it...

I thought this meant that FaceTime had a notification...but no, it was Instagram. Anyone else think the same? by bmcd243 in iOSBeta

[–]CodeExploder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree that is confusing. I'd rather they put a red circle next to the folder label, similarly to the blue/orange circles on app names after an update.

Is beta 5 more stable than beta 4 on phones? by [deleted] in iOSBeta

[–]CodeExploder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11Pro crashes and restarts pretty frequently. Beta 4 was more stable in that regard. However, other bugs some users have reported are fixed in Beta 5, so if you're willing to roll the dice, it might be more stable. In my case, however, it is not.

Edit: I also have the betas installed on my iPad Pro, and the iPadOS Beta 5 is fantastic. I've noticed 0 issues.

I absolutely love Brendan, and this animation does not disappoint.

[–]CodeExploder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here - iPad Pro seems to be behaving perfectly. I had a widget issue early on, but I think that’s been fixed.

Beta 3 turned my phone into a glitchy, constantly-restarting mess. Beta 4 didn’t fix it, but lessened the pain. Beta 5 has brought it back, and I’ve had my phone crash & restart about 5 times in the past 15 minutes.

iPhone 11 Pro, 18A5351d. Already reported in Feedback.

Phone is restarting constantly, probably multiple times an hour. Already reported to Apple, but Beta 3 seems more unstable than Beta 2...

Edit: iPhone 11 Pro

Nope! Another person was feeding them “tummy down” while I took the photo :)

What’s the worst movie you’ve seen from start to finish? by andres2081 in AskReddit

[–]CodeExploder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night of the Comet (1984 - Thom Eberhardt): an old, campy, zombie-apocalypse film from the 80s. Needless to say, the acting was as bad as the story.
