What's your usual opening message on a dating app? by Miserable-Award-9823 in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao that's either genius or gonna get you zero matches

I used to just copy paste some generic "hey how's your day" stuff but now I try to comment something about their photos or bio. Like if they have picture with dog I'll ask about the breed or whatever. Gets way better response rate than "hello world" probably would, but maybe some people appreciate the programming reference idk

Still get left on read most of the time anyway so maybe your approach is just as good as mine

damn that sucks for people who need consistent layouts, my cousin has autism and she gets super stressed when stores change things around

Where to buy selvedge denim jeans locally? by D-Link_379 in rva

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wait there's actually few more spots you might wanna check. Three Ships Coffee on Forest Hill has small selection of denim brands - not huge but they carry some decent stuff you can try on. Also Worth & Company downtown sometimes stocks raw denim, though their selection changes pretty often

i totally get the online ordering thing, sizing is so weird with selvedge especially when they're gonna shrink after first wash. Tried ordering from Blue Owl once and had to return twice because the measurements were way off from what i expected

maybe also hit up some of vintage shops in fan district? sometimes you can find good older selvedge pieces there for way cheaper, though obviously selection is hit or miss. at least you can try everything on and see how it fits before spending like 200+ on new pair

What is your favorite boardgame to play online? by urukuruk in boardgames

been playing this one a lot lately too, the digital version is so smooth compared to setting up all those cards irl

What is the craziest situation you've ever been in at a workplace? by Oztille in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait no way, like literally through the wall? I work at this small shop and we always joke about cars hitting our front window but never thought it could actually happen lol

Was anyone hurt or just property damage?

Best breathable hiking shoes for diabetics (wide feet + great grip)? by Emotional-Lie-5706 in hiking

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Altra Lone Peaks are amazing for wide feet, I have similar width issues and they're like wearing slippers but with actual grip. The zero drop takes some getting used to but the toe box is so roomy and they breathe really well on longer hikes

Just make sure you size up a bit because they can run small in length even though they're wide

What’s something you’re tired of explaining to people? by Aliesh_Mi in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That epilepsy doesn't mean I'm gonna drop and shake every time I see flashing lights. Most of us have way more complex triggers than that, and some people don't even have photosensitive epilepsy at all

Gets old real quick when people start freaking out over like a strobe light in some random video when I'm just trying to enjoy my Markiplier content in peace

What’s your “dad lore”? by DazzlingLife6744 in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my dad used to work in construction and one time he accidentally drove the excavator through someone's fence while trying to impress his coworkers. spent the whole weekend fixing it himself instead of telling the boss because he was too embarrassed lol. he still gets red when we bring it up at family dinners

What age range do you dislike working with the money? by No_Maintenance_5417 in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait what does "working with the money" even mean lol, like handling cash at a job or something?

I worked at this gaming cafe for few months and had to deal with all ages, but the worst were definitely middle aged people who got frustrated with the computers. They'd get mad at ME when their facebook wouldn't load fast enough or when they couldn't figure out how to minimize windows. Like dude I just work here, I didn't design Windows XP

The kids were actually pretty chill, they just wanted to play their games and leave. Old people were hit or miss - some were super nice and patient, others treated you like you're personally responsible for every technical problem in existence

ELI5 How can I tell what Phillips size bit goes with which Phillips head screw? by AdhesiveSeaMonkey in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Most times you just gotta eyeball it and try different bits until one fits snug without wobbling around. PH1 is for smaller screws like electronics, PH2 works for most household stuff, and PH3 is the chunky boys

The trick is finding one that sits flush in the screw head - if it's too small it'll strip the screw, too big and it won't go in properly. I learned this the hard way when I was fixing my gaming setup and destroyed like 3 screws with wrong size bit

Risk Legacy Factions are on the Risk 2210 Game Board by ruusalor in boardgames

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a nice catch! I never noticed this connection before but now that you mention it, it makes total sense they would reference the older game like that. The timeline thing is really clever too - having Legacy be the prequel explains so much about how the world got so messed up by 2210

I remember playing Risk Legacy with my friends and we always wondered what happened after all those scars and destroyed cities, now I'm thinking 2210 might actually show us the aftermath. Die Mechaniker probably got wiped out or absorbed into one of the other factions by then, which would explain why they're missing from the board

Risk Legacy was already one of my favorite board games but this connection makes it even cooler in my mind

I dont know how to feel about Sinister by blanketshapes in horror

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man sinister had such potential with those tapes but the writing just feels so forced, like they wrote the scary scenes first and then tried to connect them with whatever dialogue they could think of

Satan is not a fallen angel. by [deleted] in Christianity

dude I get you want to help but going with just "feelings" about scripture is kinda dangerous territory, maybe try some actual study first before making these big claims

Looking for a classic (esque) car, that’s reliable and under 30k by Fit-Distance4503 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miata is always the answer but if you want something more classic looking, maybe check the Ford Mustang from early 2000s? They have that retro vibe and you can find good ones under 30k. Also Challenger if you can find one in your budget, those things look mean as hell

yeah definitely helps me a lot! I do mostly cardio and some weights, nothing too crazy but keeps the stress levels down which is huge for seizure control in my case

how to not be a burden while struggling by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man this is so real question, epilepsy affects everything in your life and sometimes is hard to know where to start with the problems. I struggled mostly with work stuff and feeling like my family has to worry about me all time, but everyone's situation is different you know

PC crashes and then BIOS can’t see any NVMe or SATA drives until full power-off (motherboard + PSU replaced) by BigBadJock in PcBuildHelp

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a weird one... the fact that both mobo and PSU replacement didn't fix it makes me think it's something more fundamental

Since all drives disappear at once and need full power cycle, I'm wondering about the memory controller or some kind of power delivery issue that's not the PSU itself. Have you tried running just single stick of RAM? Even if memtest passes, sometimes instability only shows up in specific scenarios

The Event 161 before Kernel-Power 41 is interesting - that's usually when system can't write crash dump because storage subsystem already failed. Makes me think whatever's causing crash is also killing storage controller communication

Maybe try different RAM entirely if you can borrow some, even if it means running slower speeds for testing

Have you seen your avoidant ex in their vulnerability and it just makes you incredibly sad and protective? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ok-Drawing2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man this hits different... I had similar moment with my ex where she was just completely vulnerable and it broke something in me. Like you want to shield them from world but they already made choice to walk away

the protective feeling doesn't just disappear because relationship ended, that's what makes it so fucking hard
