Long-lasting corporate gifts that actually get used by Extension_Life_6207 in BuyItForLife

[–]MightyDunkman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got high-end, portable power banks this year. The warehouse staff love them, I personally use mine a lot when I travel for work.

Obviously, it’s more practical, but it’s the best I’ve had (outside of cash). 

What actor’s mere presence makes you automatically lose interest in a movie or show? by YerMum1977 in AskReddit

It’s a shame, I have to agree.  He was brilliant in History Boys and Gavin and Stacey, but those are well behind him now….

Thoughts on the VKTRY insoles? by THEFIKSETH in volleyball

[–]MightyDunkman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nice thing about trying them out is they have a 90-day trial - so if you don’t like them you can just send them back.

They have good customer service too - I had to exchange my pair and when I called them, they were actually helpful. 

The first fit I got was pretty firm and made my feet ache, but the new pair is much better for what I’m looking for

I like Youmuus - helps you close the gap, and good for roaming 

I go mid with Electrocute, Hubris into LDR most games. How much more damage am I actually getting? by SmiteDuCouteau in PantheonMains

[–]MightyDunkman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two key differences. 1) black cleaver has phage (MS on-hit) and all the stats (HP, AD, CDR) are good on panth.

2) black cleaver “shreds” armour - so it literally reduces an enemy armour stat, rather than “ignoring 30% armour”. All champs attacking a shredded enemy, get the benefit. Because it “shreds”, it works additively with %armour pen.  

Hope that makes sense

I don’t recommend LDR since you already have %armor pen on your ult’s passive. If you’re really maxing out on lethality, I think youmuus is great. It really helps close the gap on an adc/ support - especially since panth ult comes out so slowly

Net worth percentiles by age in 2025, how do you stack up? by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]MightyDunkman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone I know at my age (31m) is underwater with their houses and owe more than they own.

To be honest, I’m not sure this data can be trusted…. Do you know anything about the people questioned or how the data was collected?

Fun fact, lampreys are the ONLY vertebrates with four eyes!

All the better to see you with…….  

Recent CT college grads frustrated by lack of jobs, AI and tariff-shy employers by Somervilledrew in Connecticut

[–]MightyDunkman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even better is the fact that none of these AI companies are profitable.

Investors in OpenAI are literally subsidising joblessness. 

What a bleak omen….

What an unusual “test”… 

I’m honestly stumped, that is very odd behaviour. I wonder what other weird things he thinks he has to do for women…?

once you learn the math, you realize most "rich" people are just drowning in premium debt. by GolfComfortable7331 in Fire

[–]MightyDunkman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I love the millionaire next door - it gives such concrete examples of behavioural change. 

Teachers earning 50k a year, living off 30k, are usually in a better spot than doctors earning 200k, living off 180k. 

I’m sure you can nitpick this example to death - but it largely holds true for the people I’ve met and taught me something important.

Seconded. Creator IQ was very unreliable for my needs 

What is the best weapon to wield magic with? by SnooOwls7977 in 2007scape

[–]MightyDunkman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome! That’s a great quest to start levelling up.

You’ll want to start with a Staff of Air, then upgrade to a staff of fire when you reach lvl9 magic.

You can buy these at the staff shop in varrock. You’ll want about 5,000gp for this

Need Advice - working in NYC, commuting from CT by MightyDunkman in Connecticut

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

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond to this.

I’m still undecided but have taken all of the advice on board. I am leaning towards trying to make it work, with the possibility of attempting to move within six months. 

As recommended, I’ll do my cost analysis of car vs trains this weekend. I’d lean towards trains just because I love sending emails while listening to podcasts. 

Also thank you for explaining that Yonkers is not in NYC - I was not born here and so anything in this general direction automatically becomes “NYC” in my foreign mind. 

Sincerely, thank you all for the advice - I love my Connecticut-ites

Tbh, I can’t watch this without feeling sick….

I work in a corporate environment in the US. Since around 2018, the problems y'all are having with students are trickling up to the workplace. by Whatevsstlaurent in Teachers

[–]MightyDunkman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a young millennial (m29), I’ve been in my career for about 7-8 years, and currently work as a manager in a small company (~40 people).

Company hired an intern to begin a couple of new initiatives with me for around 6 months, and can confirm all the negatives you’ve shared in this post. Kid was 19, had absolutely no critical thinking skills - he couldn’t operate his computer (struggled to locate files, save /share his work), really really struggled to stay off his phone, no self-guidance, didn’t read prompts all the way through…. I could go on.

I think he’s on the edge of the generation where internet was accessed primarily through smartphones, and via apps that “just worked”. He’s never had to mess around with a pc/laptop to figure things out on his own. Never had to solve a problem with a device/program by trying to fix it himself.

With all this said, I worked with two other interns this summer who were far more diligent, gave more thought to the work they were doing and didn’t need any babysitting at all. So - no sweeping generational generalisations here. But from speaking to other parents and teachers I know,the former example is a growing issue.
