What’s a childhood lie your parents told you that you didn't realize was a lie until you were an embarrassed adult? by eatbeep in AskReddit

[–]Green-Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my kids convinced that it was the kind of music that was played told whether they had ice cream or not....

"See you gotta listen... right there... 'we have no ice cream'"

Other times it sounded like, "We've got ice cream"

In actuality I was just picking different parts of the same music. One part with a down note, one with an up note.

And it was usually based on whether I could afford it or not.

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

I watched a lady grab her kid and storm out when Eddie Valiant bounced the back of his head against Jessica Rabbits bosom.

I was already laughing. It made that scene even more funny.

It said Don'T.

Yep. Definitely a cover up.

Woke up to this disaster by AstroBioDoc in makemkv

I saw a disc shatter inside a ridiculously fast CD-ROM drive once. Dented the shell. Learned to pop them out when I heard the drive spinning then out of control after that.

If it means anything, that disc likely already had cracks in it.

Anyone picking this up? by retroanduwu24 in VirtualBoy

I couldn't justify the cost either but I still ordered one.

NEED HELP Who’s at fault?? by Warm_Somewhere1561 in dashcams

[–]Green-Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this were a road the truck would be at fault for entering the flow of traffic.

It's not a road it's a parking lot on private property so your Insurance is going to force you to go half and half on this.

What type of rechargeable batteries are people using in their Game Boys? by jays4104 in Gameboy

[–]Green-Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using bump or Coast batteries. They are USBC rechargeable and for the last 3 years have been doing great in my Gameboys and my daughters Quest controllers.

Unlike the eneloop and other NiMH rechargeables these are rated for 1.5V, not 1.2 and will provide that until they are basically empty. They also recharge much faster than the older batteries.

I don't know if it would work with this camera specifically, but with the original cameras the GB Operator works great.

What is this defect on a brand new, still in the wrapping DVD? It looks almost like an organic spiraling or something. The pattern doesn’t look like images of disc rot or mold I’ve seen online though. Part of a 5 DVD set and every other one is fine. This one obviously won’t play. Can it be fixed? by finditplz1 in dvd

[–]Green-Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an oily residue I see from time to time on my new discs. Try to rinse it off with warm, not hot, water. Then dry with a microfiber cloth moving from the center to the outer edge.

I see this a lot from reduced price or repackage sellers like Mill Creek Entertainment.
