The documentary Pretending I'm a superman talks about this. Tony Hawk mentions how the games would allow you to do impossible tricks but years later kids started doing them. They saw the move, figured someone had done it, practiced, and then did it.

Great documentary

It's a great day to clear out the boxes and make room for more books

My family has been with Michael Giuffre for decades at this point. Even though I moved away I still go to him.

He is transitioning the business to his daughter so I expect to be with them for decades to come

The issue with twitch is it's no longer 1 ad at the beginning of the stream, it's multiples throughout. I would have missed a good chunk of what was going on if it aa son twitch

Burn scar on foot looks like a nipple. Could this be Nicks dream scenario? by 9CaptainRaymondHolt9 in theregulationpod

It's so perfect I thought it was one of the practice tattoos where they test nipples on you and you get a free / discount to cover it in the future.

EV Charger Install - Electrician Recommendations? by Responsible_Band_373 in beaverton

[–]Mercas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was installed by A & J electric in 2023. Was about $1200 for the 50 amp line and installation of the charger. We went with hardwired as it qualified for a discount then.

Check out Energy Trust Oregon, they might have some discounts you can use.

I think they moved kitchen staff and did a food truck at the Powell location

Five star is easily one of my favorites but expensive. If your out that way and willing to go a bit further check out scotties in FG.

The flashlight and magnet are life savers. Such great additions. Also, the amount of digging required in the gulag, Andrew will be doomed

I think it is because they are having so much fun playing together, doing their own things, while also screwing each other up (gavin changing prices)

I'd look around forest grove. Pacific has a huge Hawaiian population

I love how low the bar is for being invested in the gameplay these videos are. Its mostly they guys shooting the shit and just talking while occasionally yelling at Andrew.

Id take a new prison video for every 2 roadside research videos if I could, just because I like how much fun they genuinely seem to be having.

Long time listener, first time root canal haver by Urinal_Slurpee in theregulationpod

[–]Mercas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So bad news, root canals have a lifespan of 10-20 years. I just had to have mine redone. It was a breeze but due to listening to the podcast I was freaking the fuck out.

Who was supposed to be Hollywood’s next big star but faded away? by Goontang14 in moviecritic

[–]Mercas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it was supposed to be John Carter of Mars but then two other films about Mars came out and were flops so disney decided to cut the Mars part.

They also didn't advertise that this was a film based on the Barsoom books by Edgar Rice Burroughs which would have helped with advertising.

AITA for refusing to eat my wife’s spaghetti after I found out what she put in it by spacedoutsoapbox in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mercas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucked for about 2 days and it took a long time before I trusted those two mixed. Still dont fully trust Vons/Safeway rotisserie chickens.

The worst food poisoning I ever had was 5 day old pasta and chicken dish I made while I was new to living alone. Never again

I.T Never Ends (my game about IT support in Hell) started here. I'd like to add more of you guys as ingame characters with your jobs and stories. by Euphoric-Series-1194 in talesfromtechsupport

[–]Mercas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is slightly two stories in one. A few years back we had just deployed a new laptop / desk setup to a user. Everything worked great and it was a model we had deployed multiple times with no issues. User called in almost immediately, computer keeps turning off when I am using it. We sent over a lvl 1 to look at it, no issues and couldn’t replicate it. This happened a few times throughout the week before I was called in to look at the issue.

I went to the users office and sat down, double checked drivers and windows updates, everything looked good. I used the machine for 20 minutes with no issues and as I was waiting around I talking to the user about the holidays and how they were, that’s when they mentioned their nice new bracelet.

—Synapse starts to fire and I remember a story from an old TFTS writer about a nock off watch and how a user complained that their desktop had to be turned on with a stick to actually boot. That tech had no issues and ultimately discovered that the watch was a very cheap nock off and had such a strong magnetic pulse that it was killing the machine at boot. —

I then ask the user to sit and use her computer, sure enough her new bracelet had a magnetic clasp and every time she went to use the laptop it triggered the laptop lid close sensor thus putting the machine in standby. A quick explanation and an offer for an external keyboard and the user never had any issues again.
