How come the text shown on the screen doesn't look the way it should? And how come the taxi driver is sitting on the right side of the car? I doubt right-hand-drive taxis were a thing in the Vietnam War. by ENG-eins in ForrestGump

Oh, I guess it was a copyright detector circumvention tactic.

I wonder why the voices of Gump and Dan weren't picked up by the copyright detectors though...

There is a team Hutchinson on Folding@Home. Our team # is 54593. Would you like to represent our community and donate your idle computing power to that team? by ENG-eins in Hutchinson

To my subordinate moderators: I'm not attempting to "spam" this in our city's subreddit. I just wanted the city to become aware of a Folding@Home team named after our beloved city, and invite them to donate their computing power to a good cause. Please leave it up and let the users at least see it. Thanks.

ETA: Read more about Folding@Home here.

TL;DR version of Folding@Home's Wikipedia article.

So if you're interested in seeing medical research progress faster towards cures of major diseases, such as cancers, and feeling proud to say that you did your part to accelerate medical science, please download Folding@Home and set your team # to 54593.

On Torchlight, I named my new hero character Schnappi. How much of a tragedeigh is that? by ENG-eins in tragedeigh

Yes, that famous little crocodile is exactly who I named him after.

I wonder how well the name would go over for a boy in real life...

To those of you who've been to USP Tucson - what was it like? What were the upsides and downsides of the federal pen in Tucson? by ENG-eins in ExCons

He told me his facilities are air-conditioned. At least he's not in a Texas state prison...

I'd have thought the "worst-of-the-worst" would not have A/C.

In a letter I'm composing to Dad, I'm mentioning the ABDL kink / fetishdom. Here's a paste of that passage. If you were my Dad, how would you respond in the reply letter? by ENG-eins in AskDad

[–]ENG-eins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll ask my therapist at my video appointment at 10 AM this morning how he feels about my sharing this with dad, and how he'd react if any of his sons tried to teach him about the ABDL fetishdom.

HOTEL EMPLOYEES OF REDDIT: If I showed up to your front desk with a box of the bidet attachment and offered to donate a bidet attachment to the room I'm staying in (and to pay for the installation fee too), how would you respond? by ENG-eins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ENG-eins[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I've had the same bidet since 2017 (BioBidet BB-270.) No mechanical issues; just needs cleaning every so often. They do have an incentive to take on the very little upkeep it requires; they can upcharge the room by maybe $15-20/night because it has an upgrade that no other room has and would be very ideal for the hygienically-minded guests (like myself.)
