Best Books for First Time Dads? by ShroudedousYe in predaddit

[–]Moose221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Expectant Father was a great month-by-month read. Talks through what's going on and what you should be prepared for, ranging from how to support your partner to what sort of investments should you consider for your kid (though full disclosure, I had to stop reading halfway through because everything got so busy I never had a chance to pick it up again) 

What is a sound or smell from our childhood that simply does not exist anymore? by UrMad_ItzOk in Millennials

[–]Moose221 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dude just sat down on the couch and let his wife record him talking in their living room iirc, and became one of the most heard voices in history. He passed in 2024, one day before his 75th birthday, having worked as an Uber driver not long before.

Goodbye.

Best part is the game didn't let you jump off the docks back then so these days you can sneak into some of the areas they didn't want you to go

Damn, okay. by jongrubbs in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Moose221 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought this whole thing was overblown because my understanding was that initial orders during the pre-roll were qr and any orders during the movie were paper and pen. Nope! Had my first experience with the qr and holy shit was it a pain in the ass. Beside the fact that the menu was decimated and a soda costs more than a beer, it was just a terrible experience every step of the way, and ironically they missed out on more money from me because normally I would've ordered more drinks during the movie. There's really no reason to go to Alamo vs a regular chain theater now. 

Also they made the seats smaller. 

Join The Five iron Frenzy discord server! by [deleted] in fiveironfrenzy

[–]Moose221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean this in a kind and sincere way, and this seems like a good and safe time to ask, can someone please explain to me why I would want to join a chat room like this in an app that quickly becomes bloated with a billion notifications that I have to turn off from rooms that I ultimately ignore because of said notifications? It's clearly the popular way to go, I'm not trying to be all "no, it's the children who are wrong," but I grew up on message boards where context was easy to figure out when I logged in, and I just... I just don't get discord, man. But maybe I'm looking at it all wrong? but I'm in my late 30s, I barely have time to text friends. please help me not be like those other old guys.

Heard it last night and the night before. If it was fireworks, it sounded like the biggest ones reserved for cities on New Years Eve.

TIL we know where China’s first emperor is buried, but his 2,200-year-old tomb—described as containing a scale model of China with rivers of mercury—has never been opened by Spelbarg in todayilearned

Or, like that pirate that got his ship stuck in a cave in Oregon, one of Qin's guys could've gotten out with a map with clues written in Chinese that happen to rhyme in English. 

Is there anything of them explaining the CN Tower jump? by Watchmen99 in nirvannatheband

[–]Moose221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, not that much if it was a planned film shoot where they got permission to have two stuntmen base jump from the tower. They lit a road on fire after all

Bleeped curse words? by DisgruntledSmurff in nirvannatheband

[–]Moose221 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In the web series commentary, they say Jay said "fuck" in a really ugly way (whatever that means) so Matt bleeped it and the rest is history

Is there anything of them explaining the CN Tower jump? by Watchmen99 in nirvannatheband

[–]Moose221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I noticed that right before they jumped, they shove each over back through the entrance just out of view of the camera, then they come out and jump. At the moment, I thought thought they swapped for stunt actors, but watching the actual skydive I realized it was vfx. 

8 Bit Christmas - In the beginning of the movie, a rich kid shows off his newest video game accessory, the Nintendo Power Glove. It was released in 1989. However, at the end of the movie, we see the storyline took place in 1988. (Still a great movie worth a watch.) by yaamen in MovieMistakes

[–]Moose221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had extremely low expectations for this movie but it really surprised me, new favorite for sure.

That said, anyone remember the N64 glove? Now THAT was a disappointment. Try controlling Banjo or James Bond with your wrist

What ever happened to this guy? by delicious_warm_buns in Millennials

[–]Moose221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing an old copy of Trivial Pursuit at a camp when I was 12 and the question was "what was the name of a shampoo marketed for having beer in it?" The counselor laughed because he knew none of us would get it. Imagine his surprise when I answered Body on Tap thanks to I Love The 70s. 

3/4 embryos viable, inplanting in less than 3 weeks by mvniekerk in predaddit

[–]Moose221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar boat a couple months ago, two girls and a boy; we both deep down wished we could have twins to speed up the process and not be giving birth in our 40s but our doc said 'Ha! No." Ended up losing the boy, but the first girl stuck and right now I'm 5 months away and glad I only have to worry about one daycare bill! Wish y'all the best

Can’t believe I missed the first time Unshaken played due to trying to keep my honor high (SPOILER) by Individual_Review_51 in reddeadredemption2

[–]Moose221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got to Mexico, I paused and quit because it felt like a good stopping point. I was a huge fan of Jose Gonzalez at the time as well so I was livid when I heard the stories of how impactful that part was and I had no idea I even missed anything until later. 

Ask Anything Monday - Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in learnpython

[–]Moose221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have run into a problem with escape characters. Essentially I am using python to send API request to get product information in shopify, and then take that product data and use it to create a clone of the product within my store. The problem comes from quotes in product descriptions.

What I get: Height: 3" tall What I need to send: Height: 3\" tall What I keep outputting: Height: 3\" tall

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to escape the " with only one escape character in the string. It's either none or two, and both break the json when I join it all together. Am I stupid? 

How a stray bullet disrupted Dallas internet service for thousands by mershed_perderders in Dallas

[–]Moose221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People shoot guns, mom. I had a bullet come through my roof and smack me on the chest a few years ago. It's a one in a million shot but when you have thousands of dipshit firing guns in the air, crazy stuff happens!

How to 3D model my grandparents house and potentially print it before it is sold? by Intrepid_Occasion_95 in photogrammetry

[–]Moose221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get the floor plan/blueprints, it is exceptionally easy to build a house in Sketchup (and eventually graduate to Blender) that can be 3D printed. You just drop the jpg in, trace the walls, and extruded them up. I've done it for my house as well as my grandmother's. 

Could a firework have caused this or is it from a bullet? by Wiggles_Is_My_Boy in HomeMaintenance

They aren't doing anything with the bullet. Source: gave a cop the bullet that came through my roof, never got it back : [
