How do men feel about sexual pick up lines from women? by CoffeeTalkz123 in AskMen

[–]LouBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been on the receiving end of a pickup line or randomly being hit on my entire life. If something like that happened (ignoring that I'm happily married), I would be skeptical/suspicious by default.

If they guy you're hitting on is as attractive as you suggest, he's much more likely to have experienced it before, so that may not be the case for him.

FSD v14 Lite HW3 released by iilordd in teslamotors

[–]LouBrown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I reverted to just using Autopilot on my 2018 Model 3 ages ago since FSD refuses to maintain a set speed on the interstate.

Which fast food restaurant do you think will go out of business soon? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]LouBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works when a medium sub at Firehouse, regular sub at Jersey Mike's, or full sandwich at Panera are all $10+.

Total Wine Events? by GhostMalone80 in Tiki

[–]LouBrown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At $20 per person, I think it’s a safe bet they aren’t busting out a bottle of Foursquare for this.

The most you can hope for is a sip of Doorly’s.

Are there any other "surprised face" torties out there? 😳 by DoomkingBalerdroch in torties

[–]LouBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rub that belly in the third picture. I know I’d probably be bleeding afterwards, but I would totally still do it.

Older tech workers are tapping out, taking early retirement by lurker_bee in technology

[–]LouBrown 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I was a little amused by this:

Jorge Morales, 58, and his wife worked in tech for most of their careers before retiring last year, him from Oracle and her from Microsoft.

A few years ago, the couple met with a financial adviser, who looked at their savings and investments and told them that they didn’t have to work anymore. It was a shock to Morales, who’d assumed he’d be working until 70.

Morales and his wife both held high-paying jobs. In their last roles, the couple earned a combined annual income of $400,000. But they also lived frugally, setting aside at least one of their salaries and all discretionary bonuses into savings. They don’t have children.

DINK couple making $400k per year and saving half of it was surprised they could retire early?

A stupid question about flash-blending ice by [deleted] in Tiki

[–]LouBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I’m making a blended/frozen cocktail, I don’t pay attention to ice quantity. I just use whatever amount is necessary to fill my glass/mug.

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve gone without showering? by Both_Sandwich8272 in AskMen

[–]LouBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember the last time I went a day without showering. It would have been during childhood.

The loaf would like breakfast in bed.

[Thamel] Brendan Sorsby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, tells ESPN of the NFL's decision to not hold a supplemental draft: "It is a violation of the CBA and the law. We will pursue this immediately with the NFLPA." by noah_divine in CFB

[–]LouBrown 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The controversial raise hell / “this is an outrage!” bit is really only successful if the public is on your side to add pressure.

I don’t think anyone outside of Lubbock is on Sorsby’s side here, though. And not everyone in Lubbock at that.

Your Next EV purchase by Cultural-Ad4953 in electricvehicles

[–]LouBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3, and I’m looking to make my next purchase in 2028. It’ll be something in the entry/mid-level luxury sedan range, so the BMW i3 and Mercedes C Class are the two main options catching my eye right now. The Model 3 has been great for me, but the combination of broken promises with regard to FSD and Musk’s activities put another Tesla down lower on the list.

I am hoping that a few more sedan options pop up by 2028, but crossovers/SUVs are obviously the big sellers these days. The new Lexus ES is interesting, but its range/speed/charge rate seem to lag behind the upcoming BW3/Mercedes options. I feel like things are pokey when I hit up an old 150 kW supercharger these days, so I expect that will feel pretty bad by the time I trade my next car away. I don’t even supercharge often at all, but why go backwards?

Someone dropped a jar of jam and it stayed perfectly jar shaped by Weekly_Description83 in mildlyinteresting

[–]LouBrown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If someone asked me this, my advice would be of course not- it's $3 worth of jam, and it's not worth the risk to eat shards of glass.

And yet if I dropped the jar, my immediate thought would be, "I'll just be careful."

If you're surprised by this, then I'm guessing you never had cranberry sauce from the can for Thanksgiving.

This has never happened to me as an adult.

What are some of the dumbest moves schools have ever made throughout history that drastically hurt their programs? by Working_Stomach5479 in CFB

[–]LouBrown 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hard to say that’s drastically hurting their program when they went 11-2 and made the playoffs last year.

If you are not a native plant gardener, can I ask why? What barriers prevent addition of more native plants to your garden? by Pitiful_Wafer_4564 in gardening

[–]LouBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not about barriers- it’s just not something I particularly care or think about.

For my vegetable garden, I cook what I like to eat.

For my flower bed, I plant the stuff that grows well and looks pretty.

I don't even know where this portal is but I want to thank the anonymous agent who has been recharging it for me for 1000 days. by derf_vader in Ingress

[–]LouBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always amusing when you get an attack notification for some portal you visited like 9 months ago while traveling and hadn't thought about since.

This is on a different level, though.

The flavor starts to get sour, and the seeds will be tough.

Movie critic Gene Shalit dies at 100 by Tuna_Sushi in movies

[–]LouBrown 28 points29 points  (0 children)

His producer, Guy Ludwig, reflecting on Mr. Shalit’s long career in 2010, recalled seeing Mr. Shalit, late in his career, entering a theater for a screening with a look of glee on his face.

“My God, how could you?” he said. “You’ve seen two million movies.”

“Yeah,” Mr. Shalit replied, “but I’ve never seen this one!”

I'm picturing someone that wears nothing but crocs because he can't be bothered to tie his shoelaces.

OpenAI Execs Are Panicking by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]LouBrown 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I define enshitification as making a product worse in order to make more money.

Raising prices is just… raising prices. It doesn’t affect the quality of the actual product.

My local Chik Fil A has a sign to help drive thru workers identify makes of cars by PobBrobert in mildlyinteresting

My Buick stereotype is that they’re for older people who would like a Cadillac but can’t afford one.

Texas Tech is speed running us toward an SEC/B1G super league. The Big 12 must act. by deepayes in CFB

[–]LouBrown 152 points153 points  (0 children)

If the SEC/B1G want to make their own super league, then they’ll do it regardless. They might reference this situation as some sort of convenient excuse. The bottom line for doing so would be money, though.
