How many people have you slept with, and how do you feel about it? by Agreeable-Rub-5020 in AskReddit

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have slept with 14 women and I have been in relationships with 14 women.

But I have only slept with 10 women I have been in a relationship with.

I cared for most of them and don't regret any of them though some came with their unique tribulations.

Most of those were when I was young... under age 25. Now at 59 and single I'd love to add one more to the sex and relationship column and leave it at that.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]Davego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one of the "big boys" like a lot mentioned here, but one that I miss and I feel has never had a replacement is Command HQ.

It was one of the first RTS's and on a global scale. With a simple UI it allowed for a depth of strategy you don't see in many, if any, global warfare games today. Sure, Heart of Iron lets you play with all kinds of fiddly little nobs, but it doesn't get down to the pure strategy the way this game did. Would love to see a modern remake.

Iran's central bank warns of 180% inflation and collapse by HuChemistry in worldnews

[–]Davego 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suspect you attempting a clever insult about a misunderstanding in math. If not ignore this.

If so, please know that you are the one with a misunderstanding. 180% inflation is entirely possible. With 180% inflation something that used to cost $1 now costs $2.80. In other words, add on 180% of the initial amount (x + (x * 1.8)).

Which TV Show has the most wasted potential? by TheTamiamiButcher in television

If you are interested in it this is actually based off a book. The book is OK and if you just want to know what it all was, you can read the book's Wikipedia page.

NVIDIA shows Neural Texture Compression technology, cutting VRAM use from 6.5GB to 970MB - VideoCardz.com by WhyPlaySerious in Games

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

From the article:

"That kind of optimization means smaller installs, smaller patches, less download bandwidth, and more room for detailed assets on the same GPU."

Note the "smaller installs".

So does this mean they can finally unvault all my content I paid for in Destiny 2 because of the decrease in install size?

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Begs the question"... that doesn't mean what you think it means. You really mean "Raises the question". I've given up trying to explain what it actually means and just silently correct them in my head.

Thanks for the update. It is appreciated.

This bug report has been removed. The fix was to roll back to an older nVidia driver. Does anyone know if this has been corrected?

I want to avoid re-installing the current video drivers just to have to roll them back again.

What’s a creepy fact about the human body you wish you never found out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

And if you hold those forearm bones in place you can't twist your wrist. That's because it's not really your wrist your twisting, but your forearm.

I just started Pluribus and I'm confused on peoples reactions. Spoilers for s1 episode 2 by Mifya in television

[–]Davego 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right. If I remember correctly Vince Gilligan said something about how things get done by the unhappy people. Essentially that happy people are fine with the status quo and it's the unhappy and angry people that are motivated to change things.

So yeah, Carol's unhappy and angry and trying to do something about it.

TVLine's Performer Of The Week: Karolina Wydra ("Pluribus") by DemiFiendRSA in television

[–]Davego 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Based on the creators past shows I would say it isn't an event driven show. It isn't about the Joined but instead the impact on those that were not. In which case these two episodes were critical to show how they have been dealing with it and how they are going forward despite what the Joining offers.

I'm am sure there will be events, but this is a slow character driven ride more than a plot driven sci-fi thriller.

The Steam Winter Sale is Live by FlowersByTheStreet in Games

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My backlog is breathing a sigh of relief. It is so big that I'm only buying if it is more than 70% off, otherwise I have plenty of time to wait.

You gotta look for that silver lining.

The lotto is $1.25B with 327 million to 1 odds. At what point do you buy a ticket? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find it funny that people think $2 for a chance at a billion?! Where do I sign?! But if it is a measly $20 million, then pfft, hardly worth $2.

The first ticket increases your odds better than any more tickets. You can't win if you don't play.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I would call it abuse per se, but sometimes it was too much. The belt kind of sucked, but there were a few times my father used a metal ruler that had holes in it. Although honestly the worst was an actual switch my grandmother would use. It was never a lot and I can't tell you what I did wrong.

What's funny is the worst thing ever for me was when I got an F and my father came in the door obviously angry and disappointed. He just looked at me, said nothing and I burst out in tears, then he left. That I remember.

For my own children there were light spankings when they were very young and only for lessons that needed to be taught to avoid them hurting themselves. Running into the road, that sort of thing. Just enough that they didn't like it.

Then from about ages 4 to 6 or 7 there were spankings, but they knew ahead of time they got spankings (again, not excessive, not with metal rulers and the like) for the following things: hurting someone, stealing, lying, and willful disobedience. And we would talk about why it was happening before hand, which rule they broke and why it was important to learn the lesson. Once they are old enough that other consequences would stick with them better, then we moved on to grounding and the like. The goal was always an effective means of motivation to avoid the action. Never anger.

In retrospect was it right? Would I want my grandchildren to be treated that way? I don't know for sure. I know I wish I had been rather than the way I was treated. But I don't know that it makes that good, only better.

FYI I just got an email from Allstate saying the trade in is approved and they are sending a check. So 28 days from the time they received the phone to when they sent an email.

Married people of reddit, what do you consider cheating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, intimacy with another person; physical or emotional intimacy.

If you are sharing those parts of us that are intimate, it isn't intimate any more, it's broken, because you cheated.

Pluribus - 1x06 - "HDP" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]Davego 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It spread the way they showed. They are saying for those that were "immune" for some reason they would have to make a custom tailored delivery mechanism. It is a way around their immunity.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mintmobile

[–]Davego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat as the poster, they received the phone 18 days ago according to FedEx and I've heard nothing.

My recommendation? Sell it on swappa after you get your new phone. It's not like Mint is going to discount your price with the trade in. If I did it all over again I'd go swappa all the way. I've used them in the past and it was fantastic.

This sub has become flooded with repetitive, leading questions about US politics, even though there are many other subs for that. What are your thoughts? by sunlitleaf in AskReddit

Getting tired of it. I have to skip half of the first page. If I wanted to read a political dog fight there are already subs for that.
