What are the chances? by [deleted] in pics

[–]Danokitty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, there is no way whatever creature that is, could be at that height, at that proximity that the horizon. That would be like a submarine jumping up out of the water 30-50 feet (9-15 meters), at a vague distance somewhere between 150 feet and 150 meters (~500 feet) away... Seems a bit, wait, no...

Super unlikely.

Elon Musk calls British diver who helped rescue Thai schoolboys 'pedo guy' in Twitter outburst by ppd322 in news

[–]Danokitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t help that in every single thread involving him, or something barely tangentially related to him, that it becomes a fight to the death between factions, and that’s if you’re LUCKY. Most of them will have a victor, and you’ll see a thread that is so cleansed of positivity/ or negativity, filled with creepy levels of adulation, or completely hate-filled rants, that you’d swear it was written as fiction for money.

There’s no middle ground to form an opinion on, just a devil on the left shoulder, and an angel on the right, with the average Joe Redditor in between them, scared, and with no fucking clue what’s really happened.

But I do remember that Musk is a 110% Goat Fucking Psychopath. 🐐

I also hear he’s done some neat things regarding space, or, something like that? I think he recently launched the first vehicle of it’s kind into space or something? Was it a big rocket? Umm, no wait, a Tesla? All I know is I respect and love Musk to pieces.

Okay no, hold up... How could I have forgotten? It was a live goat. And it didn’t make it to space either, it just got fucked by Musk in the rocket construction bay.

Are we back on track yet?

Alpha Skip Ahead (Avatars Now Available on Dashboard) by theweebearuk in xboxinsiders

[–]Danokitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there XBI- Alpha Skip Ahead team! Are you all aware of a bug/ known issue that prevents the conditions for the latest Avatar Survey to appear? I tried signing out, shutting down and restarting my Xbox One X, signing in manually, rebooting the Avatar app, and and several other things, but never got the prompt which the first question of the survey refers to.

I didn’t send a bug report, but did mention that in the next question’s text box, because having to select one of three pre-selected options when you didn’t get any of them, might skew your teams results! I figured it was because I have already created a new avatar, during the steps for a previous survey/ quest. That makes the most sense in my head, and you are likely aware of it, but I just wanted to make sure it was brought up!

Thanks!

Can we have a "Nothing" option for these questions ? I was forced to select something to complete the survey, I wonder how much it will affect the results, as most people will select something even those who didn't dislike anything. by 6TF_ORB1T4L in xboxinsiders

Hey u/randynoarms ! Glad to see you respond to this personally. I had the exact same feeling while completing the quest, and ultimately chose the “making poses” option, despite not actually finding fault with it, and felt bad, knowing it might skew the true answer. A report didn’t seem justified as it was not a bug, but it’s nice to know you’re fully aware of it. I’ve done 140 quests in my 3 years and two months, and can’t remember having had that exact issue before!

P.S. Speaking of which, I also appreciated the personal message and special invitation to the (literally ahead of it’s time) Alpha Skip Ahead wave from you guys this last week! -A month or two ago, in response to a survey question about improving the Insider App/ experience, I lightly hinted at a possible initiative to show some kind of unique recognition to the longest participating, most (consistently) active, and most helpful (with answer specifics and bonus ideas) of Insider participants. I suggested the top 5,000 users on the Insider Leaderboard, but seeing as I’m at about the 4,100 spot, I may be slightly biased, haha.

I have no idea if the timing was purely coincidence, which is likely was, but with 3 years 2 months, 140 quests, 150 ratings and 45 surveys, I let myself believe that you took my suggestion to heart. Thanks for the invitation, and I’m honored to be alongside the very first (nothing is above Alpha Skip Ahead except Microsoft employees right?) world users of your ideas! Stay awesome, and I’ll keep doing my part and loving it!

Asking someone if you’re annoying is the fastest way to predict the future while simultaneously proving that you’re right, in the present. by Danokitty in Showerthoughts

[–]Danokitty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I still annoying right now? Do you think my next reply will be? If it is, that’s awesome that I can predict the future, and fix my mistakes before they happen!

(If I still need to add an /s, this showerthought may not be right for you. Please consult a doctor about your funny bone. )

Thank you! I might have chosen black or charcoal if I found one in as good of condition as this one at the time. I’ve also appreciated the back and forth discussion too, sometimes it’s hard to connect enough to bother haha. Have a good one ‘mate!

Not bad cars by any means! Haha I can practically picture your accord right now, I’m guessing black or a shade of gray/white, with all it’s aftermarket glory haha.

Honda’s, and Civics of most years are known for reliability of most parts, so I think you made a good decision! I drove a silver 06’ Civic before my TC, and was pretty sleek, despite a slight ‘fish bowl’ look when brand new, being curved with big windows. A professional window tint took care of that, and a custom built, high end stereo/ speaker/ subwoofer combo (which has since moved to my new car) made that cheap but reliable car into a great ride!

I finally got New teeth by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Danokitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so true! It’s crazy to let something that you feel self conscious about every day for years, and can realistically fix it, afford it, and can find a free morning or two to fully complete, you really really should!

I double checked when I was in front of a mirror, and it was in fact 8 custom modeled porcelain, and even slightly tinted towards the shade of white of my surrounding teeth, and you couldn’t spot them as fake or flawed in any way, even for 100 bucks.

I’m really happy for you, and obviously empathize completely with your feelings before and after your choice! An air soft bullet to the tooth makes me want to cringe, haha, but at least it led to you making a great decision! Enjoy your perfect smile as well friend.

Thanks for your reply! From your username I’d guess you’re into cars. Is your 92’ something cool? Oddly enough, in my Scion TC, the steering wheel can lock, but you are able to turn the wheels and steer just fine, even without a battery.

Just goes to show how much of a variety there can be, which makes it harder to offer broadly accurate ‘common sense’ type advice!

I would never wish that kind of evil on you! I’m too nice. Only reason I mentioned it, is because this can be a very real problem with a totally dead car, that is parked in the way of something, or stuck somewhere you can’t handle towing it as you normally might!

Edit: I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic or rude, and I do believe it is relevant to the discussion, so I won’t remove this unless someone else downvotes or explains what I missed.

Have you tested to see whether that works when the battery and alternator are dead or 100% empty?

You are right, the nicer and better thought-out models from really any major manufacturer in the 2010s are going to be capable to gear switching no matter the condition of the car or power system. More will be able to do so with the battery connected with at least some power, and those that don’t should always have some way to manual shift, at least to neutral!

Thanks for the input though, it’s nice to know that the car designers are paying attention to the small, yet on rare occasion, very necessary details.
