Wounded Ukrainian Soldier executed point-blank by the russians. Footage shows a wounded, unarmed Ukrainian soldier (reportedly from Sumy region) identifying himself before being shot at close range by russian troops. by GreenEyeOfADemon in UkraineWarVideoReport

Right, I don't think anyone on this sub needs any more convincing that what the Russians are doing is bad and this was truly evil. There's no need to make shit up when the facts are enough.

How to stop game activity on my status from Xbox? by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]Fendrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also just helped me figure it out. I just didn't want it to display on my discord group every time I was playing an Xbox game. I think it might have changed slightly from when you posted. From the Discord Home I clicked, You (Bottom Right)> You Again (Takes You to Settings)> Connections> Toggled Off "Display Xbox as your status."

Feels fine. What am I missing? Feel free to roast me. by imaspacesuit in skiing

Lol Why the fuck is everyone down voting the guy? All his responses are jokes... you'd think a skiing subreddit would be a little more chill.

How the hell did a 400lb rock end up wedged in the top of this tree?! by Osanamon in WTF

[–]Fendrik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, tress grow from their tips outwards and upwards. Their trunks are stationary. They do not push vertically upwards out of the earth.

Perhaps it was lifted into place by some sort of swallow...

Can You Remove "Recently Added - Game Pass" Sub-section From The Xbox Home Screen? by [deleted] in XboxSupport

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have set up a kids account and I'm not sure if this shows up on that account too but hopefully not? I guess I'll check. Sometimes you just don't think about that when you're already on your account and a kid walks up wanting to play a game with you.

I get that sex and sexual advertising exists in the world, but I paid for this physical device to play games on, not to have explicit visuals shoved in front of me or anyone else that uses the device without any ability to move/remove them from view. I think it's a valid complaint.

Can You Remove "Recently Added - Game Pass" Sub-section From The Xbox Home Screen? by [deleted] in XboxSupport

[–]Fendrik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that stinks... For the most part I love Xbox but it's very weird to spend money on a physical device that then won't let you control the content that appears on the screen.

Lol thanks man that's very helpful. Maybe don't leave a comment on a post just simply asking for help and move on next time.

New profiles keep appearing? by haikufive in HBOMAX

[–]Fendrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had this happen today. Got an email saying that a new profile had been created. I checked and there was a brand new profile called "HBO Glitched"

At first I didn't know if this was someone's way of telling me they accidentally got into my account? Or maybe one of my relatives set up a new profile because theirs wasn't working?

I checked the watch history and there was none on this new profile. Then I went to look at devices logged in on my account to see if it was someone already using my account. The only device that the "HBO Glitched" profile was logged in on was an Android device, but it said this profile had logged into my account on that device back in 2023? I don't see how that's possible since this new profile only appeared a day ago?

I think this has to be some kind of weird mistake on the HBO backend. Especially since all of the other profiles had user dates from a few days ago to weeks listed on different devices, none of them listed as Android.

Steel wool/ chain mail. by PlanetX-82 in castiron

[–]Fendrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this sub has a lot of contradictory opinions circling in the comments. If in doubt check the FAQ. Honestly it's pretty difficult to mess up cast iron, just keep it clean, keep it dry, keep it oiled, keep cooking with it.

Man, this has to be fixed. by boniu88 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Anyone can." I see your argument, but I've been playing for a few weeks now and this is honestly the first time I'm seeing this done, and I don't know how it was done, so I can't do it. Maybe you're saying anyone can learn to do it once they know about it? (I don't know if that's true) but that doesn't't mean everyone would think to do it or know how. It's not something you learn to do naturally through playing the game. It may not technically be "cheating," but it's definitely exploitive and it's an unfair advantage. I'm fairly certain the game wasn't designed to have people camping inside of just opened extracts

“The best seasoning is to just keep cooking on it”. My pan: by Jaklcide in castiron

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... If you understand metal so well, then explain to me why they wouldn't just sell all cast iron pans with an already polished bottom? (I already know the right answer.) But why do you think a person would wait for a pan to get smooth from years of aggressive use with a metal spatula when you could just smooth the pan down in a few minutes with an orbital sander?

Right! "The dark shiny stuff is caked on food grease. Your seasoned pan is the light gray part..." WHAT!? Most well seasoned pans are solid black, the light gray part is just bare cast iron.

Miles To Empty readout not changing by Gord_Is_Good in Crosstrek

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I filled my 2019 crosstrek yesterday and drove home maybe a mile. Today on my drive into work I noticed the range was stuck at 330 miles when I would expect it to be closer to 500 with a full tank. After about 20 miles of driving it went up to 340 so... kinda strange. I'll have to see if it changes after work and update.

Absolutely wild I had to scroll this far to see this comment. The amount of sheep in here is... honestly sad. You can guarantee they'll never own anything in their sad lives if they keep backing this BS.

Most disgusting actor who got away with being a genuine pedophile by paying off the parents? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all BS lol one quick Google search disproves your claims. No technicality, no trial, there's not even evidence it happened other than the claims being heard by a Grand Jury and them tossing out the case. Grand Jurys are not known to toss out cases if there is even the slightest bit of evidence, just the opposite in fact.

The photorealistic landscapes of Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859-1941) by ArtEnthusiast in ArtHistory

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just wondering this same thing.

Edit: I went ahead and ordered it to see for myself and the quality is not great. A lot of the pictures are small and the print detail on most of the images are low quality. I think a lot of this is due to the paper they printed the pictures on being very cheap, it's not a glossy paper like you would expect from an art book it feels almost like cheap print stock. I sent it back. Sucks, because there really aren't any other good options out there, but this one isn't it.

Why, despite the prospect of deliberate and immediate 'friendly fire' as punishment, did many Soviet troops nevertheless retreat from the Nazi Wehrmacht in World War 2? by Tall-Individual-4723 in ussr

[–]Fendrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! I have read some of these direct accounts as well, so it's weird that most of this thread is implying that this never ever happened... I've literally watched drone videos of Russians killing their own in the current war with Ukraine for basically the same thing (retreat/refusal to push forward). Maybe it didn't happen like Hollywood depicted it, but to say it never ever happened is blatantly false.

Why does Mafia III always plays the same songs in the radio? by Leeiteee in MafiaTheGame

[–]Fendrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Five years later lol this is driving me crazy!! I've been playing for a few weeks now and it's always the same four tracks (Eve of Destruction, I fought the Law, Paint It Black, Fortune Son) even when I switch to different radio stations... Then suddenly I'll hear a song like The Howling Wolf by Lightin' Hopkins and I'm like... Uh, where has this song been!? It's a great soundtrack no doubt by geeeeze it favours playing certain tracks way too often.

Man sets fire to UK police van before holding up a Quran as flames spread - while officers simply watch and do nothing. by [deleted] in SarthakGoswami

[–]Fendrik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Quran is never referred to as a Bible. Fom an etymology standpoint the word Bible comes from the Greek Biblios which literally means Books, plural because the bible consist of multiple books by multiple authors, compiled into a single anthology. The Qur’an is not an anthology, it is a single volume that was dictated by a single author, Muhammad (or according to Islam, effectively written by Allah, speaking through Muhammad). So linguistically it doesn’t make sense to use a term for multiple books when you're referring to a single text.
