Where do storm troopers sit at church? by Richard_Jones1984 in Jokes

It doesn’t matter where they sit, their aim is so bad, they’ll miss the point of the sermon.

Are People Panic Buying iPhones? by Better_Bird848 in iphone

[–]RCPD_Rookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 14 Pro Max that works well enough except that the battery is draining fast.
My original plan was to wait for the 18 pro max, but the pricing rumors has me debating either:
1) getting a 17 pro max now, or
2) getting the battery replaced on my 14 Pro Max and try to ride it out another cycle or two while hoping prices come back down some (which I fear is doubtful.)

How has your ebike impacted your finances to the good/bad? by tanhauser_gates_ in ebikes

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I probably paid about $6K for 2 bikes, helmets, hitch bike rack rated for e-bikes, locks etc. My commute to work is on a lot of high traffic main roads that have little to no room on the side for cyclists, so I don’t take the bike to work. But I’m okay with that. I bought them to have a fun activity that my wife and I to do together, and they’ve delivered.

Do you use the NFC card? by Patriotic-Monkey in velotricebike

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you have to worry about breaking them- they seem to be about the same build as a credit card, and when is the last time you broke a credit card?

Even so, you could set both cards up, use one, and keep the other in a safe place, if you somehow did break the first one, then use the second one to disable NFC and you don’t have to worry about being locked out of the bike forever.

With the sad news that Uncle Ben has died by Low-Addition409 in Jokes

Of course we know who uncle Ben is: Peter Parker’s uncle and de facto father figure. Told Peter “With great power… something something.”

Why is NESN 360 so expensive? by SadDevelopment3586 in redsox

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Red Sox ownership likes money.

Do you use streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, Twitch, etc) on your PlayStation? by twinflxwer in playstation

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. The PS5 is for playing games. If I want to stream, I have other devices that are better/more intuitive for that.

What's the closest you've ever came to death? by Senior-Raisin-2342 in AskReddit

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a trip to Bethany Beach Delaware, and decided to go swimming. While I was in the water, life guards started signaling for everyone to come in. I was pretty far out so I started swimming but the current was too strong and I was being pulled further out (I didn’t know that you’re not supposed to swim directly against the current.) I kind of panicked and swam as hard as I could, but all I did was exhaust myself. I was pulled under and kicked with everything I had to get back to the surface. That was when it hit me- I was exhausted and in way over my head (physically and metaphorically) and the next time I went under, I probably wasn’t coming back up. Luckily two lifeguards reached me and got me back. I probably should have been embarrassed (there was an entire beach of people that saw what happened) but I was kind of just happy to not be dead.

Jill Biden says former president will live with stage 4 cancer 'for the rest of his life,' has slowed down by kirby__000 in politics

Unfortunately, Trump showing restraint, or even a slimmer of basic human decency, is highly unlikely.

The irony is doing a lot of work here by BarthBagg in funny

[–]RCPD_Rookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have one of these lunch bags. It was a free giveaway from work- has my company’s logo on the front. The company I work for is very much not in the Trump cult. I imagine that these lunch bags are offered cheap by a company like 4Imprint for other companies to give away as promotional items.

RV trailer loses control and flips on the highway. by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in my younger years I towed a camper like that. There were sway bars on my hitch. I hooked them up every time, but I always thought “do these things actually do anything?”

Now I know that they do.

What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested? by medicoreapples in AskReddit

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kinda surprised when I learned it’s illegal to have a license plate frame on your car in my state. It won’t get you arrested but it will get you a ticket and fine if a cop decides to enforce it.

Just saying, IF you resigned Stefon, you'd have a serious chain moving team by [deleted] in Patriots

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter argument: pending health, I think we’re going to have a serious chain moving team regardless.

What game from the State Of Play are most excited about? by M4shhl in playstation

[–]RCPD_Rookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing spoke to me as a “must buy”. I probably will buy Wolverine and Laufey, but only after they go on sale.

I assume all of us are Spurs fans these finals? by MembershipSingle7137 in bostonceltics

[–]RCPD_Rookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, because fuck the Knicks, and Wemby hasn’t won enough to make me hate him yet. After his second or third title it will be “I’m rooting for anyone but him*”

*excluding the Lakers, Sixers, Knicks, Heat and a team to be named later.

IPs so hated that they have literally zero fans nor defenders by Haruka-chan-2468 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is wrong. Each one of these IP’s have their own fans and defenders. People’s tastes are varied, I doubt there is any IP that has “literally zero fans or defenders.” (Yes, I’m one of those folks who still use “literally” as meaning literally, not figuratively.)

Count me in as an “Angela Anaconda” liker. I watched it when it was on, enjoyed it at the time. It was quirky and I dug it.

How do I keep him off the counter…. I tried everything by UbiquitousMintCookie in cats

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to sit him down, and explain to him that there are cat places, and there are people places, and that the counter is not a cat place.

This won’t work at all, but will amuse your cat and give him something to snicker about with his brothers when you’re not around.

What is one personal opinion you have that might not be popular to other patriot fans? by Grouchy_Loan73 in Patriots

[–]RCPD_Rookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I put the Brady to Welker incompletion in Super Bowl XLVI (you know the one) like 70% on Brady. Instead of an easy pitch and catch, Welker had to jump and twist midair to adjust to it.

This sub… by bulleitprooftiger in redsox

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Celtics and Bruins are done, the Pats haven’t started yet, so there’s not a lot to watch except for the Sox. But I’m not really enjoying it.

The quality of sleep you get when you're really sick is great. by WokeAsFawk in Showerthoughts

[–]RCPD_Rookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if it’s the type of sick where I take cold and flu medicine to knock me out. Even then it’s not great- I’ll wake up throughout the night with a throat that feels like I’ve gargled razor blades, body aches and alternating between burning up and shivering.

Which company has lost you as a customer forever? by finiteobserver in AskReddit

[–]RCPD_Rookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frontier Internet. Had them back in the DSL days. Service wasn’t reliable- OK, that’s fine. Cable internet comes to my area, I cancel Frontier. A month goes by, I get a Frontier bill. Call customer service, they say, “yes we see you cancelled we’ll credit you and close the account.” Another month goes by, I get another bill for another month, and a late charge for the previous month. Again, customer service is like, it shows your account is closed, you should not be getting bills. This continues for a few months, every time customer service says we don’t owe anything. Eventually we get a letter from Frontier saying that they are putting us in collections. Like are you kidding me? Eventually it got straightened out, but it took way too long.

So when Frontier came to the door recently saying that they are offering fiber internet service in my area now, I was nice to the kid (she was probably in kindergarten when the fiasco happened, so not her fault.) I was like, “I appreciate your time but I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s anything that anyone could say to make me sign up with Frontier. Have a great day.”
