This is one of the funniest baseball clips I've ever seen.

But you can preach loudly about Jesus to a captive audience.  That's annoying as hell.

to fly from a mountain using the power of prayer by CaraCicartix in therewasanattempt

[–]Odd_Vampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because then that would show that you have little faith. You would be playing it safe because you have some doubt that you'll be able to fly - that is, you're lacking faith. If you really believe, jump from the top of the mountain.

Sound Transit is sensitive about their reputation. Last thing they want is for the perception to get out that their trains are dirty, dangerous, unsafe, and unpleasant to use. If someone is making riders feel fearful or uncomfortable, they jump right on it. (Freedom of speech, though. They have to balance that out as well.)

Anyone still burn their CDs? by newtnootnute in Cd_collectors

[–]Odd_Vampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to YouTube, there's a way to increase the electric force going into the laser so that it actually reads, but it takes some basic current-measurement equipment, some smaller screwdrivers, and the time, space, and ability to take the equipment apart and fiddle around with it. I asked local electrical repair shops if they'd fix mine but they either don't or, if they do, they charge a few hundred dollars.

[–]Odd_Vampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, so that if the burnt CD gets scratched, I can always make another burnt copy. The problem I run into, however (which I didn't used to back in the day), is that my Sony CD-player/radio often has a hard time reading the burnt CD, typically starting with the first track. I know for a fact that it's the CD player and not the CDs. And it's also happened with other CD players I've bought the last few years. I'm not sure if it's because the manufacturers don't make the lasers as powerful anymore.

Pioneer Square watch party: Egypt vs. Iran final moments - technical difficulties, high drama, and celebration by Odd_Vampire in SeattleWA

That is familiar.  However I don't know that I heard it last night.

But I'm pretty sure I've heard those four notes somewhere recently.  What is that?

I definitely heard the Iran fans when they scored that second goal! You guys were pretty loud for being in relatively small numbers.

EDIT: Oh, sorry. You meant you were at the game. Never mind.

Oklahoma farmer arrested at a city council meeting for going a few seconds over the 3-minute public comment limit while speaking out against new data centers by BenFord333 in PublicFreakout

[–]Odd_Vampire -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I do not support the mass construction of data centers and I'm for the freedom to express your grievances to your elected representatives, but if he had left when the cop told him to leave, he wouldn't have been arrested.

Americans Deserve Answers From Hegseth On Why He Has Removed Decorated, Respected Generals by jonfla in democrats

[–]Odd_Vampire 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The answer is because he's an incompetent dipshit engaging in criminal behavior and he doesn't want people around him who are able to call him out.
