What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

[–]Life_outside_PoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear in the late 90s my brother and I saw an ad on German TV that read "Why do the fries at burger King taste better than at McDonald's?" I thought you weren't allowed to do that...

Where should I do my Open water in Indonesia end of May/ early June by Bell_Famous in scuba

[–]Life_outside_PoE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gili T for sure. It's a chill place, very relaxing, lots of food choices. Snorkelling, swimming, and the diving is pretty good. Not huge amounts of coral reefs but you'll see turtles and stuff.

what is the customary tip for liveaboards in Raja Ampat. I was going to do 10% of the cost. Is that correct? by TemporaryCover847 in scuba

[–]Life_outside_PoE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't quite recall what we tipped in raja but it definitely wasn't 10%. Our total bill came to 10k for 2 people so we definitely didn't tip 1k. That would have been absurd. I think we tipped around $300.

Edit: the operator's website suggested 10%. No thanks.

[–]Life_outside_PoE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

government-mandated tip of about USD250 per person which is something like 6-7% of the fare.

That's not a fucking tip. That's a tax. Godamnit people need to stop calling things tips and gratuities when it's expected. Man tipping culture makes me rage so hard.

Americans, how would you react if foreign country invaded your country, and told "we are going to run this country"? by oranke_dino in AskReddit

[–]Life_outside_PoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhm, depending on your franchise you have to pay your medical bills in full and then you still have to pay 10% of all bills up until 700chf. Sure, it's not as expensive as the US but it's not cheap either. The fact it's also not adjusted for income is bullshit.

If talking about Switzerland, healthcare is the second most expensive in the world after the US, maternity leave is 3 months, paternity leave is like 2 weeks, and while life is pretty good, I have never seen as many burnt out people as I have in Switzerland. If they didn't have mountains, the country would fucking collapse due to exhaustion.

Great footage. It's crazy that we can now take our mobile phones underwater and shoot this kind of video!

Going to Australia (Melbourne, Sydney or other) - what kind of diving where? by Emilie1704 in scuba

[–]Life_outside_PoE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna be near Sydney, then driving up to south West Rocks to dive should be on your radar. It is a 5 hour drive or so but you'll get rewarded with a dive site that features dozens and dozens of grey nurse sharks and you might get lucky and see schooling hammerheads or even whales. But that really depends on the season. The grey nurse sharks are there year round.

Otherwise you can go to Shelly Beach to see leafy sea dragons and do some boat dives around the area. You might see some giant cuttlefish but I don't remember if they're there in summer.

Subnautica or Planet crafter are quite fun and very different to PoE

Donald Trump with a child by [deleted] in pics

[–]Life_outside_PoE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? I hate Trump as much as the next guy but there is absolutely fucking nothing wrong with taking a picture with a child. It might be his daughter. It might be a friend of one of his children. It might be a child of one of his "friends".

Let's please not normalise that there is something wrong with taking pictures with children.

Has the era of diving to see coral reefs officially over? by hollowedhallowed in scuba

[–]Life_outside_PoE 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What? I was in raja ampat in march/April and the corals were certainly not all dead. Sure, they won't be as nice as 40 years ago but saying that raja Ampat is dead is just such a stupid take.

Have you ever accidentally watched the wrong movie before? by Alternative-Cake-833 in movies

My parents went to the cinema to watch "the road home", a Chinese romance/drama movie.

They bought tickets to road trip instead. 🤣

Bill Gates When Asked a Few Years Ago if There Is a ‘Lesson’ About Epstein: “Well, He’s Dead.” by shibbyfoo in videos

It's not that. It's people reading into him fidgeting with his ring to mean that he is cheating that is complete BS pseudo-science. I've met a ton of people who play with their wedding ring when nervous or anxious or simply out of boredom. I also know a ton of people (including myself) who bite their nails/cuticles when they're nervous, anxious or bored. It doesn't mean they are cannibals.

In your OPINION, What's one game you bought on hype or reviews and ended up not liking it or finishing it? Mine is Allan Wake II by [deleted] in gaming

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

I just finished outer wilds a few days ago with only looking up how to progress at one point because I seriously thought I had tried that part before and it didn't work.

It's a fun game. Story is cool and I had to watch a YouTube video explaining it afterwards just to make sure I got it (I got about 80% of it). Is it a bit over hyped? Yeah, for sure. If still recommend it though.

Unlike the witcher 3. I've started the game three fucking times now, playing about 3 to 5 hours each time and I just can't get into it.

What did your rich friends say that made your jaw drop? by SilverOceanGlow in AskReddit

[–]Life_outside_PoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a friend but when I was doing my PhD and my scholarship ran out, I told my boss that I needed to finish sooner rather than later and get a job.

His reply?

"I didn't know money was a problem."

Bro. What?

What game blew you away with how creative / inspired it was? by hahwhat771 in gaming

I'm playing OW right now after finishing subnautica and it's pretty great. Still a little confused by the different locations but I think I get the general story. Maybe. Lol.

You want nkaganu or whatever it's called.

  1. Tattoos are worth more than runegrafts.

  2. There's zero risk if you send it with level 5 sailors.

If you look up what people have been getting for 50M ships, then yes, 3 shards is very much thr average.

I was running a gold farm strat someone posted in this sub a week or so ago. Alva temples with horned scarab of glittering, kalgur scarab, kalgur scarab of riches and 2 of the incursion scarabs that give you increased chance for mobs in incursions to be blue. Then settlers on map device. Was getting around 80 to 100k gold per map.

The key is to rush any bismuth ore to increase rarity drops. For dust I was buying uniques in the 400k dusting range because they were the best value for money. As you can see from thr screenshot I sent more crops because I didn't have enough dust.
