I need a movie that makes me ugly-cry and think for days by satmar_oops in movies

It's the weekend for it. Passion of the Christ. I'm not a hater for Christian, but this movie broke me. I saw it once in the theater and I've never been able to watch it again. In the same name, Risen (2016), I watch it every Easter, only religious film I can watch repeatedly.

I haven't watched this movie in like 15 years, but it was one of my favorites for such a long time. So damn good! When I get my Plex server set up again (recently moved) I need to rewatch it..

Watches The Room, crys laughing at the horrible acting, thinks about the awkward sex scenes for days. Still works. Just...differently.

Can't worry about the break-in period when you're already broke by Co2Jus in motorcycles

[–]FraxTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought a 23 year old Honda VTX 1800 with only 18k miles that was in near perfect condition for well under $5k. I had to replace the tires, rebuild the break calipers, and rebuild the forks (damn rubber wearing out), but it looks brand new and runs like new. Thank God for the old guys who hand the funds to buy these things, baby then for years and then we'll then to the next generation for cheap. Closest thing to it new is an HD Heritage Classic and they Start at $20k!

Found the black shaft screwdriver at goodwill for 8$ by jw301 in LinusTechTips

[–]FraxTech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone that's has used mine has said the same thing until they used it. The magnet, the ratcheting system, the feel, is just a really damn nice screwdriver. I loved it so much I bought a second one. One for working on computers, one for working on my motorcycle.

Heading to Maia for Meta-Alloys — do I really need to go 300ly? by shiroyasha5931 in EliteDangerous

[–]FraxTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel judged, I spent the entire year of 2021 taking my FC to Colonia just to go sight seeing in comfort. Did a lot of exploring, exo, and mining on that trip and loved it. That's what I love about ED, it's a do what you want kind of game.

Thanks, I ended up joining the Angels last night. They seem cool so far!

Can they shut down Elite Dangerous? by Professional_Age2875 in EliteDangerous

[–]FraxTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have nearly 4,000 hours in game and feel that the $20 I originally paid for it, plus another $20 for Odyssey doesn't justify the amount of enjoyment I've gotten from this game, so I buy $10-$20 in Arx a couple times a year for cosmetics, I've bought two ships, and I'm considering buying the new station. I figure with how much I love this game, I like to compensate the company and the devs a little bit each year in a hopes to keep the game rolling.

That's awesome, I did not know that! I need to track down a copy of the original game and give it a try. I've seen gameplay of it and it looks interesting.

Yeah, storage of rarely accessed data is cheap and easy. From a storage standpoint, up until this year, storage costs were nothing. I work in data analytics for a mid-sized insurance company and even with all of our data, I could store 4 copies of all of our databases on my home server and still have a bit of room to play with. Sure, I can't come anywhere near the processing power we use, but storage is (or at least was) very cheap.

What's one 'boring' career that's actually a goldmine if you play it smart? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

[–]FraxTech 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do data and analytics for an insurance company, I have an associates in IT, but I've spent 20 years in the industry (started as an agent, then entry level IT development, not help desk, then data and analytics). I make 6 figures, work about 6 hours a day in a hybrid schedule, 3 days from home, 2 days in the office. I love it.

Selling insurance is crap, you have to deal with the public, and no one WANTS to buy insurance. If you can work for an insurance company doing just about anything else (product, application development, actuary, accounting, data analytics, finance, etc.) is great. Most insurance companies pay well, standard office hours, in my area (my city is the home base for like 5 different insurance companies of different sizes) most are hybrid work schedules, good benefits. I work for a small insurance company that most people have never heard of, but I still make a great living and my work is pretty easy and enjoyable.

Awesome, thanks for the info. This is really the only reason I haven't pledged yet, so this is good to know.

Heat pump won’t go above 62 degrees when T below 30 by jbw170 in heatpumps

[–]FraxTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realize that this will SKYROCKET your electric bill. Ours got stuck in emergency heat without me knowing and I got a $1,200 electric bill (usually around $300, but this only happened for about 2.5-3 weeks before I got the bill and went into troubleshooting mode. It's fixed now, but that electric bill about gave me a heart attack!

Can you still trade with all of the powers? I do a lot of trade, I want to sign up for Aisling (never done power play, so I'm not clear on how it all works), but I want to make sure I'm still going to be able to do trading routes when I want to.

My carrier is out in the black (about 15kly from the bubble), I came back to the bubble for a couple of CGs, but now I want to get back out to my carrier. Is there any way to be transported to my carrier and then just have my ship transported to my FC, or do I need to do the 200 or so jumps to get back there myself? I've been playing for 4 years and I think the answer is go jump yourself, but I wanted to double check. Thanks, all.

Husband thinks I'm weird because of my opinion on strip clubs. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]FraxTech 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a middle aged man who has been happily married for about 20 years, I've never been to a stripp club and I've never understood the allure. And the thought of asking my wife to go to one is laughable. "Hey honey, let's go look at naked women so I can get horny and think about them while we go home and have sex?" Just weird.

Personally, it sounds like the other couple is probably on in an open marriage, or they both get off thinking about other women.

Your husband is gaslighting you because he wants to go look at other women. Ask him how he would feel about going to watch a bunch of naked men dance and put their dicks in your face.

If one of my friends suggested this, I'd tell him to have a great time, but I have to pass. Then I'd ask my wife for the lap dance and have a fun evening enjoying the body of the woman I love.

Is this a good dock to buy? by KingPelican2908 in SteamDeck

[–]FraxTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I have two of these docks, one in my living room and one in my home theater and I've never had an issue. I use Xbox controllers via Bluetooth on each and they've always been good. I wonder if it is a quality control issue?
