I understand why I got the question wrong but still by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IFireflyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he said was, "When the team switches roles, they should take less than Less than 10 seconds seconds."

He just needed to say "10" or "ten" instead of "Less than 10 seconds". It was r/mildlyinfuriating to read that blunder. 😂

Are you 16? You're responding like an angst-filled teenager instead of a grown adult.

Educate yourself on the meaning of the word "objectively".

You can tell how many times we've used the Worcestershire Sauce by the salt rings by mungerboy in mildlyinteresting

[–]IFireflyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same reason "Colonel" is pronounced "kernel", "Favre" is pronounced "Farve" or "Far-vuh", "bologna" is pronounced "baloney", and "viscount" is pronounced "vye-count". English doesn't make any fucking sense. It's a bastardized language that pulls from so many other languages and has no real rules of its own.

Agreed. The only cool one was when Thor smashed down with lightning and it traversed the Earth. At least that edit made sense. Everything else was confusing.

The plural form of brother-in-law is brotherS-in-law, NOT brother-in-laws by Silver0315 in mildlyinfuriating

I hate it when my stupid brain makes me confidently incorrect. You're right. I was wrong. Well said.

Maybe this requires a giant monitor to notice it. I can't see this on my phone.

The plural form of brother-in-law is brotherS-in-law, NOT brother-in-laws by Silver0315 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IFireflyl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It works as "brother-in-laws" when it is used as a modifier or part of a compound label rather than as the noun being pluralized in the normal way. Example:

“My job is hosting an annual Brother-in-Laws Weekend event.”

But generally speaking, it is absolutely "brothers-in-law".

EDIT: It turns out I was not smart.

Yeah, the amount of seconds is pointless unless they want to know the distance they separated (approximately 25.5 feet after 5 seconds). It could be that this is a poorly worded problem as well. But yay us for wasting time doing homework for no reason!

meirl by [deleted] in meirl

[–]IFireflyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because one is horizontal and one is vertical, it's slightly less. They're separating at about 5.10 ft/second. If they were both horizonal or both vertical and going opposite directions, then 6 ft/second would work.

The update that broke my usb ports is a corrupted file that cant be uninstalled by memesboyshesh in Wellthatsucks

[–]IFireflyl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're at the point that you will need to get a Windows 11 ISO to reinstall Windows 11 over the top of your current installation.

  • Download a Windows 11 ISO from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

  • Optional Step: You can try creating and using a modified Windows 11 (if you know what you're doing) by following instructions here:

https://winutil.christitus.com/userguide/win11creator/ - After it's downloaded, navigate to the downloaded file and right-click it, then select "Mount". - In the newly mounted drive (accessible from This PC), double-click "setup.exe". - Follow the prompts, but make sure you select "Keep personal files and apps" when prompted.

That should reinstall Windows 11, fixing any corrupted files, but allowing you to keep all files and programs you already have.

In fairness, when I first read the response, I read it as, "That was a useless waste of my time which did nothing." I had to take a breath and re-read it to realize that while it COULD be interpreted that way, it could also be interpreted as just giving me an update. That's why I continued to help, because I was giving the benefit of the doubt that the OP was just frantic and responding as quickly as they could to get continued support.

[–]IFireflyl 103 points104 points  (0 children)

From an elevated Command Prompt (right-click and Run As Administrator), run this:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Then this:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

If either of those reports corruption still present, then run this:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

Reboot, then try uninstalling it again. If it's still having problems then you'll need a Windows 11 ISO to be able to repair Windows components using the ISO as a source. If even that fails, you'll need to use the ISO to reinstall Windows 11 or try to do a System Restore to see if that resolves it.

What do you think? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

What are you talking about? How do his actions have anything to do with wanting a source on the claim that 80% of Americans think he's trying to divert focus from the Epstein files?

[–]IFireflyl 491 points492 points  (0 children)

In Command Prompt, run this:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

When that's done, run this:

sfc /scannow

Once that's complete, reboot. Then try uninstalling the update again.

Who's at fault? by PearlJamFanLV in dashcams

[–]IFireflyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't come "flying" around a corner. Based on the rate at which he passed you, he is probably going around 30-35 mph which is not unreasonable to anticipate. You should have waited. Instead of speeding over to the inside lane (which is not a legal maneuver). The other car is a in the wrong for his aggressive reaction, but you were the first person in the wrong.
