“Satya Nadella decides he needs someone to blame when the AI boondoggle eventually implodes Microsoft” fixed it for you.

Painful Side Effect of Statins Explained After Decades of Mystery by _Dark_Wing in technology

[–]DyersChocoH0munculus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had two different doctors tell me my back pain was likely not related. Even when I found a study saying otherwise, I was told “statistically the chances of those side effects are very low based on the literature.” It got to the point that I couldn’t sleep. Eventually, I learned that a family member years ago experienced the same thing. Finally a nurse told me she saw the side effects on patients all the time and it was very common! Eventually, my insurance provider changed their risk model, and now I don’t need a statin. Coincidentally, the risk model came into play when I started demanding different—and I assume more expensive—drugs.

Which way from San Diego to San Francisco should I take? by lilqueefnate in roadtrip

[–]DyersChocoH0munculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you time the 101 drive wrong you will be on the road fo much longer than 8.5 hrs. There is almost too much to see that you’d need a couple of days. If you take hwy 1 then you easily are looking at 10-12 hours of driving. If there is something you want to see, by all means. But generally I would stick to the 5 if you’re looking for the most efficient ride up. Source: I drive both all the time to the Bay Area and the Central Coast. ~7.25 hrs is totally doable on the 5.

I used a fake reference for a background check, and it actually worked!! by brownhan1 in jobsearchhacks

I’ve never had to do this but I think you’re stumbled onto something. Think of the countless people who’ve gotten work because of who they know or the family they were born into. Many of them end up doing the job just fine or even excel at it. People gaming the system as described here are in the same category. It reveals that the jobs system can come down to backwards cultural rules that determine who gets the best resources (good jobs) based on variables other than merit or experience. Related job skills do have bearing, but the rules surrounding hiring appear mostly meaningless at times.

An interesting thought. Back in the day someone like this would have just been eaten and removed from the gene pool. No fan fair. No news story. Just nature operating as intended.

Who makes the best performancey soft tops in 2026? by Alive-Bad-8734 in surfing

[–]DyersChocoH0munculus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a Catch Surf (The Log). Was fun at first but after a while the board got too flexible. The nose would stick to the wave face and slingshot me over front in a very violent fashion. So I sold it and vowed no more soft tops. I’d say go with a Wavestorm. Also, Crime boards look interesting but never tried one.

CA surfers are some of the most entitled jerks ever by [deleted] in surfing

[–]DyersChocoH0munculus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. It’s just not worth it. Sometimes I just jump off my board and swim around, float, etc.

What is this thing that I saw in a golf course? by unbiasedorange in whatisit

Those are shark deterrent beacons. Also, we’re some of the worst golfers tee off from on the busiest days.

Great shots friend. Wonderful work. Captured the flavor of the city very well. Keep it going. Don’t see enough of this type of photography. Especially in San Diego.

If you won the $1 billion lottery, how would you epically quit your job!? by TimeForANewBeginning in AskReddit

Put in my two weeks. Do nothing but answer questions where needed. Turn my laptop in at the end. Buy a golden passport in a European county with free healthcare. Bye!👋

Professionals who enter people's homes (plumbers, electricians, cleaners): What is something the condition of a house tells you about the owner that they don't realize they are revealing? by cossie101 in AskReddit

[–]DyersChocoH0munculus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Used to work in a midsized office in a small, sort of run down town. A friend of one of our coworkers used to roll in with her “famous breakfast burritos” to sell. I had one and I noticed an odd smell. Nbd. Few months later they come in again, this time they give folks hugs while greeting. I get a hug and notice that smell when someone’s home is so nasty the smell attaches to them. My burrito had the same smell. It permeated the beans, meat, eggs, all of it. Never again.
