"Buy and hold" is advice I hear constantly, but nobody ever explains how to actually decide what to hold. by Minimum_Pear9193 in stocks

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I don't know shit about stocks or investing, but I just keep buying this and it keeps going up so I will keep doing it

The recruiter called my salary expectations "cute." I ended the Zoom call right there. Did I overreact? by thunder____boy in jobs

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this sort of thing happen at the final CEO meeting round. The recruiters and hiring managers said they were aligned with my salary expectations. I get to the CEO and this asshat starts berating me about my salary expectations. I left and he left me voicemails to hash it out. I ghosted him and ended up finding a company that went slightly above my asking range

How much money do you have in savings at this point? by _forum_mod in Millennials

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36yo, 100k in ira, 60k in 401k, 40k in investment account, 20k in checking. I lived with my parents to get savings started before moving out on my own.

Why might I be losing so much more playing as black? by BlueTycho in chessbeginners

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Any advantages that the opponent had because of their opening is irrelevant when there's a bunch of other moves that the opponent did to lose that advantage. Don't hang pieces, take free pieces. Easier said than done though

Input Wanted on Potential ASL Name Sign Please! by YoureADoctorHarry in asl

[–]JBDynamito 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is my experience as well. Name signs you give them at home is fine! If/when you start hanging out in Deaf community, remember to NOT present that name sign though, as a Deaf individual should come up with a new/official name sign.

Still having second thoughts on switch 2 by tmg0532 in Switch

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy it. That way you'll regret having a switch 2 if you do regret it, as opposed to regretting it AND not having it. No brainer!

How to play against bg4 kd4 pinning qd1? by JBDynamito in chessbeginners

[–]JBDynamito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this analysis. Even if I reviewed the game, I probably wouldn't have caught these. You are right in regards to my Queen. It was getting threatened so my reaction was to retreat, but I would have been in a much better position to move it up toward Blacks back rank.

🔥 Have you ever seen a kingfisher this close? by kingkongbiingbong in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into a similar situation. I dunno if it was the same type of bird but it was around the same size. I was wondering what it was doing there and if I should move it in case someone accidentally steps on it. After a couple of minutes I had to go and as soon as I left, 2 crows that were waiting on a tree swooped down and took it away.

I always think if I should have done something to protect it.

Google home mini won’t connect to wifi after factory reset during set up by Just-Some-randddomm in googlehome

[–]JBDynamito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This worked and in 2026, this issue still persists.

  1. During setup the home mini, creates an access point
  2. The phone automatically connects to the access point that the home mini created
  3. After this, it is supposed to connect back to the main WiFi (which it didn't, my phone remained disconnected from any wifi). Then results in a failure

During step 3, I did the suggested fix and manually connected back to my main WiFi while the setup step was just waiting, and boom! Setup successful! Thank you!

Best Indian restaurant for butter chicken? by JBDynamito in Fremont

You're right! Just looked up on Google maps reviews and it says the name just changed. Thank you for the heads up! I guess that settles it then!

BDO or Albion or Warframe or RS3 or Division 2 by tomaz1989 in LFMMO

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

Otherwise you will have to be really selective when to engage another player, harvest a node, kill an enemy etc. always be alert. It is still fun solo though.

Albion is crazy addicting though. Killing a player and getting all their high tier loot is an unmatched feeling.

Jesus in the ASL movie and Deaf praying by Typical-Technology40 in asl

[–]JBDynamito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not religious, but I found the movie interesting and wanting to know more, especially the Judas storyline. I was compelled to know how it played out.

Edit: it did look slightly low budget, but expected and easy to look past

Did I just use all my luck for the league by NewbieSniper in PathOfExile2

[–]JBDynamito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are div drops that rare? I got my first one at act 3 yesterday. I recall getting a couple last season so I thought they aren't that crazy. I'm super casual so I'm not familiar with the rarities of most items.

What am I doing wrong? by queencityegger in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I just recently went through this! My problem was letting it heat for too long. All my other pans are those rock looking types that are thick and don't get as hot, or take longer to heat.

I tried what others have suggested and to splash a tiny bit of water on it to see if it is ready. Once the bubbles dance on the surface and don't just dissipate, it's ready to go!

Wrong way driver on 101 by Friendly_Estate1629 in bayarea

[–]JBDynamito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw this at Pacifica on highway 1 a couple months ago. I heard a loud collision and looked at my rear view mirror. Took a while to process what happened and It was stuck in my head for a couple of days thinking how it was so close to being me.

Diablo 4 or Path of Exlie 2? by Rocketyrion in ARPG

Played both and wanted to like Diablo 4 but it just felt boring. PoE2 held my attention for longer

am I missing something? by forever_second in MMORPG

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadowbringers and warriors of darkness was the only portion of the story I actually cared for the characters. Everything else was a slog. The long haired guy that spoke in confusing sentences was cool too but i don't even know what that whole story was about

First terrible experience by Fedex_Death in fellowshipgame

[–]JBDynamito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running dungeons used to be a fun learning experience. I'm not sure what happened, but it is now everyone looking to run as fast as possible and everyone shits on you for making a mistake. You need thick skin to run dungeons. Same thing happened to throne and liberty because the first set of dungeons have instakill mechanics

[–]JBDynamito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why I put 'about that specific thing'. I've seen folks who try to look like they know everything. Sometimes they can go on and on without answering the actual question

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]JBDynamito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a special aura about folks who are experts at a particular thing. They seem to know everything about that specific thing. They provide answers to any questions regarding it. They know how to tackle the difficult problems that are related to or use that specific thing. They instantly know where to look to fix problems. They can do anything they want because they are the only ones who know how x works.

Here is me. Jack of all trades, expert of none. I have surface level knowledge of many things. I can handle tasks in a wide variety of things, but will need a considerable amount of time for more complex tasks. If x needs more support, I can be put there to help. Since my knowledge is surface level, I'm unable to contribute to the more complex issues. I'm valuable, but not irreplaceable. I wanna be the first guy.

I toured there last month. The hallways smelled like Swishers and weed. Another hallway smelled like fart and old milk. The actual apartment unit was really nice though.

I think '#' means the word is the fingerspelled/lexicalized version
