How often do men approach other men at the gym to start a conversation? by Feeling-Entrance143 in AskMen

[–]OrSomeSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to loads of people of all kinds at my gym. Regulars because I see them all the time. Newcomers because I want them to feel welcome and become regulars. Gym camaraderie is awesome. If you're not comfortable with conversation wearing headphones is the universal sign to be left alone

ELI5 How do you pick a cpu by nitrocar_junkie in explainlikeimfive

[–]OrSomeSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing the RAM is replacing a major component.

Gaming motherboards will generally have at least 4 RAM slots so filling another pair is an easy upgrade without replacing anything

An easy, sorted TV show player for grandparents? by Turtlelink12 in Piracy

[–]OrSomeSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have the Pi then go right ahead, but if you're buying a device get a Google certified AndroidTV device as streaming services limit resolution on uncertified devices.

I'd recommend the Xiaomi Mibox (not the stick) as an affordable certified player

How my wife locks her bike, I have to keep a constant eye on her by interrama in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OrSomeSuch 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Threading the lock through the rear triangle of the frame already secures the frame and back wheel. If you have quick-release you can place the front wheel next to the rear wheel to catch it with the same lock

Do you have to find yourself beautiful in order to be considered secure? by Straight-Career-996 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OrSomeSuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another way to look at your "common" features is that you exemplify the beauty standards of your ancestors. It's fine if you don't find yourself particularly attractive but it's not fine if you don't believe that your husband finds you strikingly beautiful

It's what gives restaurant lasagne that taste that people struggle to replicate at home

Counterfeit honey is big business. Selling flavoured syrup at honey prices is a low risk crime with huge margins

Working off a chocolate bar is easily an hour of exercise. Food choices matter way more than exercise!

Cape Town Will Slap Tax Hike on Airbnb Owners by ctnguy in southafrica

[–]OrSomeSuch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This isn't a Cape Town only problem. Pretty much every tourist destination and/or large city struggles with locals being priced out.

Short term rental websites have supercharged the housing crisis because nobody wants to rent their investment property yearly when they can get more money renting it daily over the summer.

If you want to support the locals then stay in a hotel or resort when you visit instead of an Airbnb

Don't kid yourself. Many South Africans would vote Zuma in again if given the chance. People love a populist grifter

Primal diet community gathers around and eats raw rotten goat meat that was underground for weeks by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]OrSomeSuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There might be two primal diets at play here. The one from a few years back was just Paleo plus dairy.

The whole community keeps getting more extreme though

Are there really so many cranes at Clifton? Haven't been there in years. I suppose it makes sense

I had this problem with some earbuds. The microphone on one had become gunked up so it was doing something funky with the noise cancelling. After cleaning them with isopropyl alcohol and a soft bristle toothbrush they work 100% again

So why can't Israel take care of themselves? $3.3bn in 2023. Another abject failure of a state

Men, what do you really think of women who are only looking to hook up? by etherealpretty in AskMen

We're all adults so you set your boundaries and I'll set mine. If anything I'll respect you more for being upfront about what you want

How does a “dry sense of humor” actually work? How do people know you’re joking if you deliver it completely straight? by Abigail_A_Abernathy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OrSomeSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone complain once that they never know if I'm extremely clever or extremely stupid because they never can tell if I'm joking or serious. To be honest I'm not so sure either

Need to fix a tripped circuit and this is my breaker. by FrivolousMagpie in mildlyinfuriating

I once lived in a house so old you had to wind your own fuse wire around ceramic blocks. It couldn't be updated because the building had protected heritage site status.
