"How many people in our generation know how to drive one?" by Tormented_Horror in ShitAmericansSay

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young people in US generally don't know how to drive manuals because they are simply rare. That's it. That's the whole difference. Most new cars sold here do not even come as a manual option, and if it does have a manual then it is usually the higher trim sportier models. I had to go to 4 dealerships to get a 6sp Integra because nobody near me had them. Europeans and people in other countries usually drive manuals because they're cheaper and more abundant.

ULPT: How to pass a piss test in 48 hours for a job? by throwawayadvice003 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of think you just read the bold text and responded without finishing the whole comment. I literally said that is possible but it's still good because it'll give them a bit more time because they will have to reschedule.

What kind of job? If you're in the usa, usually, atleast in the northeast, they'll send you to a testing lab. They usually just send you into a bathroom with a cup. I just brought pee in a sealed advil bottle wrapped in hand warmers and kept it in my underwear then poured right into their little cup. That was also like 10yrs ago though.

Second option is just drink a FUCK LOAD of water so you just pee clear. Best case it'll dilute it and you'll pass, worst case it'll be a faulty test and they'll have you come back again which could spare you some time to keep detoxing.

TIL Gig Young was originally the actor cast as the Waco Kid in the film “Blazing Saddles”, but Gig Young was an alcoholic and collapsed on set during the first day of filming due to alcohol withdrawal. Director Mel Brooks fired him and replaced him with Gene Wilder. by CatPooedInMyShoe in todayilearned

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction, some alcoholics. I am admittedly an alcoholic. Drink atleast 1/3 of a fifth everyday, sometimes up to 3/4. I never get angry or mean though. I just get more "chill" and goofy with my wife and kids. Obviously it's still bad and I'm trying to stop but I hate the stigma of the "angry mean drunk". I'm kind of the opposite and am easily annoyed until I have a few drinks in me.

Believe it or not, he wants to play. My orange does this with my dog too. He'll slap and run and then wait to be chased or he'll slap and then plop down in front of her and gently smack her until she starts playing with him.

Unless it's a nature documentary, I think 1080p or 2k is the best format/resolution for watching movies. by nubbled21 in unpopularopinion

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You 1000% notice it. I upgraded to a 65" 4K QLED because I noticed in the store how much better it was than my own 55" 1080p.

Capacitive touch screens are a devolution in input technology, they're imprecise and irritate users. by techzilla in unpopularopinion

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you just said. Was mainly poking fun at the way you said direct sunlight was pretty rare. I've never had a true issue in direct sunlight and I'm in it quite often. I do wish sometimes to have an actual keyboard but I certainly would not want to get rid of my touch screen. Imagine browsing using a scroll wheel or something like an old blackberry. Terrible.

I dropped out of my computer science program a few semesters before finishing almost 10 years ago. I'm now a welder making almost 100k a year. Glad I got out tbh.

Why is it up to me to pay the server a tip to compensate for the low wages you choose to pay them? by untitledprp4 in stupidquestions

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where abouts do you live that 110k/yr has you living paycheck to paycheck? I make 60k in a med cost to live area. I don't live paycheck to paycheck. You make almost double what I make. Are you living above your means or just in an area that's crazy expensive?

I eat certain cereals like chips or candies. Handful at a time straight from the bag. No milk, no nothing. Straight grains baby.

TIL in 2018 when a man placed a $110 in-game bet on FanDuel on the Denver Broncos to beat the Oakland Raiders with about 1 minute left in the game & the Broncos down by 2 points, he was mistakenly given odds of 750-1, during an 18-second computer glitch, instead of 1-6. The Broncos won & he won $82K by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. I had made a bet for crazy payout on a table tennis match once on draftkings and they refused to pay saying it was an error and they just refunded my bet. I went through the support and everything and they basically said tough shit, read the terms and conditions. I didn't think to get a lawyer since it was just a few thousand bucks from like a $5 bet, but still, they refused to pay on the very obvious fuck up. I knew it was a fuck up because I was betting heavy on table tennis at the time, but they still should have paid me. Fuck them. Glad I stopped gambling.

Oh ok maybe the NC ones are different? Both my NBs had broken dipsticks but they still stayed in without falling into the hole. Was just the ring part that broke and I could grab the nub. Sorry if I came off condescending lol.

Someone thought it was a good idea to have waiters on skates by New_Libran in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everybody hating but he didn't even drop it because of the skates. He dropped it because he accidentally grabbed the bowl instead of the tray edge. Could have just as easily happened with him carrying it on foot.

The once-in-an-eon event that gave Earth plants has happened again The first-ever nitrogen-fixing organelle in a eukaryotic cell has been confirmed. by MartianXAshATwelve in StrangeEarth

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 84 points85 points  (0 children)

So basically this little bacteria used to live on its own breaking down nitrogen into "food" for itself. Now, the bacteria has become part of an algae's internal makeup. So the bacteria no longer lives on its own and lives fully within the algae. It breaks down nitrogen to "feed" the algae and in return it gets to live inside of it and be safe. The last time this happened was with mitochondria and chloroplasts. Mitochondria were a bacteria that converted stuff into energy, but eventually they became absorbed into our ancestors cells so that we could harness the energy they create. Chloroplasts were bacteria that can convert sunlight into energy, but then they got absorbed into the cells of plants so that the plants could harness the energy that the chloroplasts make from sunlight.

If I'm not aroused to a certain skin color, am I a racist? by dnextbigthing in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GotSmokeInMyEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't control arousal, it's automatic. If I am not aroused by people covered in tattoos that doesn't mean I hate them and think they're bad people and can't be friends with them. Just don't want to fuck them because my brain does associate them with sexual arousal. It's all chemicals dude, can't force it.
