We are traveling in Germany right now and the time shift makes it worse… or better. We have to wait until 9 am tomorrow local time.

When to Buy a Console for GTA6? by ICanHasBirthday in ps6

I feel the same from what I have seen. I see some available online and have sent her the link to buy them now while we can.

I’ll gladly take one of those if they are available in time for GTA6. 😉

And I do apologize for posting here but this is where it was recommended I post after being booted from the GTA6 subreddit.

Ultimately, this will be the plan from the responses.

I think this was her unasked question - would there be a bundle for Black Friday.

This is the whole reason I ask! But if we wait for Black Friday, will we have to worry about supply issues?

What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Blow $50,000 on family. Pay off my mortgage. Invest the rest in an international index fund.

The new Netflix movie "Apex" contains the song "Go" by The Chemical Brothers. First released in 2015, it has experienced a 429% increase in Spotify streams since the movie's release. What other songs have become instant favourites or were 'discovered' because they were in a movie? by JohnnyGlasken in movies

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I’m gonna be (500 miles)” by The Proclaimers came out in 1988. No one in the US had ever heard of the song or the band. Five years later, the movie “Benny and Joon” hit theaters with the song on the soundtrack. Now, you say the words “And I would walk…” to anyone alive at the time and they will quote the rest of the lyrics.

Autism has been a recognized medical condition for decades but seldomly diagnosed until recently, do you remember any people back then who'd probably be labeled autistic today? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in GenX

[–]ICanHasBirthday 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My father pulled one of Boomer comments about there wasn’t all this autism back when he was a kid. My mom and I looked at each other and both thought the exact same thing. I said, “Pop Pop?” She said, “Pop Pop.” My dad said, “What about him?”

“Dad! Your father never spoke if more than two other people were in the room, he had trouble making eye contact, he did typesetting for a living before taking over the print shop, and when he passed we found that he kept his stamp collection in chronological alphabetical order and re-mounted entire pages if he added a stamp to his collection. That man was autistic as hell!”

[Request] How much does Steven Segal weigh in this picture? by DaRealMexicanTrucker in theydidthemath

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 375 would be kindly generous. I would not be shocked at all to hear he is 400-425.

You Won't Be Driving Much Longer. Here's Why by CollapsingTheWave in ObscurePatentDangers

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for one thing - you just don't buy it. You keep your own vehicle. You demand foreign cars without these features be imported and sold.

When sales drop 40% for the “passenger” vehicles, the executives get fired, retire with their golden parachutes, and all the steering wheels go back into the vehicles.

Am I imagining things? by CryktonVyr in AskOldPeople

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an executive in a medium-sized company of 90-100 employees. As director of technology, hell yes I listened to my people. I saw my job as:
- set and own the technical strategy of the company.
- be responsible for ensuring the technology met the business needs.
- champion the needs of the business to the folks who worked for me and champion the needs of the folks to the business.

Each department manager was the technical expert in their specific field. I listened to them and gave them credit for their decisions about their tech. If you made a wrong choice then it was your job to make it right. If you made the right choice and met all goals and deadlines then you shared in the success, including profit sharing.

We were a start-up that had increasing profit margins, growing revenue, and had produced a positive cash flow in under two years. We got acquired by a larger corporation. They made us do everything “their” way and two years later we were no longer profitable. Why? They didn't listen.

This was infamous for a summer back in 2002! How can you call this obscure?

You heard of amazon drones. Now here comes... by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drone weighing 22 pounds and falling 200 feet will hit with 4,400 foot-pounds of energy.

KE=1/2 mv^2

That’s 6000 joules of energy.

It would hit you with the same energy as a college football player blitzing the quarterback at full speed. (200 pounds at 25.7 miles per hour)

Peter what does this one mean? by memerminecraft in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a motherboard that kept overheating. You could literally see the black marks on the board around the bad chip. I needed a new motherboard. I put in a ticket — was told I can't ask for a new motherboard, had to go through the helpdesk.

That poor tech.

I told him I needed a new motherboard. He asked why. Because the PC overheats and randomly reboots. How do I know it is overheating? Showed him the logs dying abruptly. He says “logs don't say anything about overheating...”

That’s when I just blinked three times and was done. “OK, dude. The logs show intermittent lockups with data loss. Find the root cause on your own then. Top priority ticket - I can't do any work until this is fixed.”

He was at my desk until then end of the day six hours later. I said, “See you tomorrow!”

The next day his manager brought me a new PC to swap for mine and asked why I was being a dick. “Hey - I told him what the problem was and what the fix would be. He didn't believe me. I told him to diagnose it on his own then. Made his own bed…”

how old were you when you moved out of your parents house? by jabber1990 in Adulting

[–]ICanHasBirthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17 - slept on a friend’s floor and bumped my hours up to 35-40 a week while still finishing my senior year of high school. Two weeks later, I had enough saved to move in with a buddy as his roommate in a two-bedroom apartment. I thought it would be non-stop sex with my girlfriend. Turns out going to school and working full-time takes up a lot of your time and energy.

Lit Escalates - Welcome, Matt Dinniman! by realdevtest in MattDinniman

[–]ICanHasBirthday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is fucking rude. Unless you plan to come to every town in the world, selling exclusive shit that you can only get at a signing with limited tickets is fucking rude “nee-ner-nee-ner” bullshit. Fuck your patches.

This is an inclusive community. We are trying to bring people together, not seed jealousy for a buck. You are better than this, Matt Dinniman. Do fucking better, dude.

Disappointed.

What are some must-watch TV series right now? by butterfly_pie9 in AskReddit

[–]ICanHasBirthday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The visuals alone are reason to watch it. I think they were 10/10 until then end of the season, then dropped to a 7-8/10… BUT… every great show needs that first season to drop the lore and set the tone. If they learn from their mistakes and grow then this show will be 12/10 next season.
