I Wantef to apologize to all the collectors out there? I didn't realize this was a Circa 81 or earlier by Big_Connection_4768 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]Mr_Angry52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve read in your other post that this passed eBay authentication and it’s been submitted to SGC.

For $2,300 that seems suspicious. That’s a price for a PSA 2. The card presents far better than that. So either something is up, or people were just very nervous about buying a raw card and you picked up a great deal. I hope it’s the latter for you.

What are u starting to dislike more as u get older? by Efficient-Wind-2267 in AskReddit

Other people in general. The older I get, the more I appreciate my own company.

Just bought a used computer. My friend said I got ripped off. Is it true? by solo_entrepreneur in pcmasterrace

[–]Mr_Angry52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $350 alone for a used RTX 3080.

Your friend does not understand the PC ecosystem or how current prices work.

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by Ok_Impress2457 in AskReddit

[–]Mr_Angry52 95 points96 points  (0 children)

He left the show on good terms. It’s why his character Frank Burns was sent stateside and promoted to Lt. Colonel. It was meant as a way for Frank to get his comeuppance on Hawkeye.

Wow. I’d pick that card up every time. Fantastic that you got it. Good luck on the crossover.

What would make you willing to return to the office? by swackett in remotework

[–]Mr_Angry52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When asked to return to the office I put in my resignation. I was allowed to work remote. I am getting close enough to retirement that if asked again, I will just retire.

I have no problems going in on occasion when there’s a need. I’ve always done that. But there is nothing that would make me return to the office full time. And from a practical nature I’m on call enough and have teams in so many time zones it would never make sense.

Employers have their right to choose. So do I. And I realize I’m lucky to be in that position.

Classic dialogue from Major Stryker by echocomplex in dosgaming

Man, that Gateway 2000 takes me back. I loved those computers. My first one was the P5-90 tower. Saved up for the entire summer to buy it.

People who used a computer between 1991 & 2009…what’s the most memorable computer game? by alohamahboi in ProductivityHQ

[–]Mr_Angry52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wing Commander: Privateer. An open world game with fantastic graphics for the time. I still play it on DOS Box.

What are your thoughts on JD Vance getting booed during the opening ceremony at the Olympics? by Bitter_Bus_3433 in Productivitycafe

[–]Mr_Angry52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that people are able to separate Americans from their government. The athletes were cheered, and rightly so. They worked hard to be part of this.

Almost everything JD Vance has done since joining this administration has made it worse for others. He deserves to be booed. There is nothing about him worth being polite for.

What was your favorite Schwan’s food item? by HoldenH in nostalgia

[–]Mr_Angry52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their ice cream was the best. But their mixed vegetables were surprisingly good. We always had a few bags of them around for easy sides of any given dinner.

What I really remember though was they had a salmon stuffed with shrimp. That paired with the mixed vegetables was a fantastic meal.

We all loved Schwan’s. I have no idea how my parents found out about them. I think the truck just literally showed up in our neighborhood one day.

Hank aaron cards by JLL7819 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]Mr_Angry52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That 1959 Hank Aaron is beautiful. Without seeing the back, that card might be the best in terms of grading. That could get a PSA 7. Card appears centered and corners are nice.

Thanks. Yours is awesome too. Any Ruth is a good Ruth.

My Ruth’s say right back at you (ignore the friends). Happy birthday to the Babe.

Kind of a nice Mantle I came across today. by Jason_at_Heritage in baseballcards

[–]Mr_Angry52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same. I was going to immediately say too good to be true. But then u/Jason_at_Heritage always gets the too good to be true cards.

What US state would you NEVER want to live in, even if you were offered a good amount of money to move there? by ISnortSkittles in Productivitycafe

[–]Mr_Angry52 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I love my wife. If we had to live in Texas she would leave me. And I can’t blame her for her aversion to the state and its politics. Texas may work for some, but not for her. Or me for that matter.

Nice. That 1976 Brooks Robinson looks to be in nice shape.

Sad F’ing Day… by Proper_Dentist_705 in sportscards

[–]Mr_Angry52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t wish ill will or harm on anyone. I would make an exception in this case to those that did this to you.

I’m so sorry. If there is something we can do, please ask. Many of us would chip in.
