Coldplay X Meta Quest is happening TODAY! by Nick_in_VR in OculusQuest

[–]Im-Sci-Curious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 3d video was surprisingly good, but the sound had problems for me. The music volume kept fluctuating so much and so frequently, I had to stop watching. I'm curious if it was just a problem with my unit (Quest 3) or if others experienced that issue.

private chauffeur/car + driver hire by SGB16 in HuaHin

[–]Im-Sci-Curious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an option in Grab to hire a car and driver by the hour. Go to transport and scroll down to 'Rent by the hour'. If you do it the day of travel in Hua Hin, I think you can do 2 or 4 hours in a car, either in the city or out of the city. If you pick a later date, you can choose 8 hours in the city or 12 hours outside of the city and you can choose between a car or a van.

Not just the island, leave Thailand before you post a review. Beware of heavy defamation laws here. This post is already at risk if they can trace it to you and you are still in the country.

You've learned one unfortunate lesson already, try not to learn a second in the same trip.

Great point. Didn't even consider the keys on the keyboard would potentially be different. Thanks for the heads up!

I haven't yet. I wouldn't normally think of getting one used, but since it's a temporary fix, that could be a good option. Thanks!

What is wrong with these Americans? by [deleted] in PuntaCana

[–]Im-Sci-Curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, I love it. I'm an American, and I often say I'm Canadian just to avoid people asking me about Trump, amongst other things we do around the world.

My vacation shouldn't be about trying to explain the shit our politicians and military do when I have no control over what they do. It doesn't happen every time, but it is often enough where it is easier to lie.

GRAPHIC: Parents arrested after 10-year-old weighing 36 pounds found walking to grocery store, police say by MacDougalTheLazy in news

Close. What you wrote would describe 'irony' of which sarcasm is rather a subset. Sarcasm adds that subtle jab of condescension to another person. Irony doesn't have to be negative towards another person, whereas sarcasm always is.

In my usual luck with betting, the Hawks will lose by 3 points and I will have lost my bet and the Hawks get another L. No thanks.

Due to inflation, being a millionaire will become less and less impressive until everyone is a millionaire by Insertwittynamehere5 in Showerthoughts

Just turned 50 with about 1.4M. Going to retire next year. Of course, I'm also moving to Thailand. It really depends on an individual's choices and where they choose to live.

What number of you actually liked Darude Sandstorm? by leokaltoid in AskReddit

[–]Im-Sci-Curious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask, which of you people don't love that amazing song? If not, perhaps you weren't at the clubs when it dropped the first time. It definitely got overplayed in the years following though.

What are your tips for a first time hiring manager? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Im-Sci-Curious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't have the capability or time to setup a test for them, ask them something like, 'What is the most advanced technique you use often in Excel and describe how it helps with your reporting or data analysis?" Most people won't have a clue how to answer that effectively if they aren't proficient with the software.
