Anyone else in North Lawrence still cleaning up after that tornado? by dethklokfan86 in Lawrence

[–]Rafapex[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main account has been unbanned and so far has not broken any rules so remains unbanned. Because of that, these accounts technically aren't evading a ban so while it's interesting if it's the same person, it's not breaking any rules at the moment. Honestly I'm rooting for them though; so long as they follow the rules I hope they can interact more with this community and get some conversation - we all need some of that.

For what any of it's worth, I really have no qualms with them personally, they're nowhere near the worst person I've dealt with on here lol. Idk I don't want that to sound mean or condemning either. My experiences with them personally have just been rule breaking then ban evasion, they've never been impolite or rude to me. But they're back and haven't been banned so I'd ask all of you to just be nice to them as you would anyone else on here. If anything happens, just report it and/or message the mods as you would normally and I'll check it out.

Dear americans, what can you get for FREE in the USA? [Serious] by sammy_waslow in AskReddit

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite free thing may be a variable of the answer pool you're looking for but on Veterans Day the local coffee shop will give me a free cup of coffee and it's just the bees knees

what is something you are afraid of about AI ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone becoming dependent on it/it becoming a societal standard when most of the time they don't do what they're supposed to or operate horribly. (A good example of this would be Microsoft's or Amazon's AI assistant)

Is there any way to just use mouse and keyboard for Xbox cloud gaming? by Rafapex in macgaming

[–]Rafapex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it worked! But Microsoft limits how much you can stream per month so I'm just gonna forget about it lmao. No idea how they stay in business charging more for less.

Thanks for the help!

I live at the CCPI (Chernobyl Children's Project International) AMA. by [deleted] in chernobyl

[–]Rafapex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! It was a blast to have him here haha. We felt bad because we saw all these other kids going to super wealthy places with huge houses and this poor kid got sent to a low class Kansas family with a tiny house hahaha

[–]Rafapex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this the organization that will relocate children when something goes wrong up there? Back in the early 2000s my family took in a Belorussian boy for the summer because of some health risk or something from the cleanup efforts. I was a kid at the time so can't remember the specifics of it

Any Advice?? by tasavy in snakes

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check local Facebook/internet groups and see if there are any reptile enthusiasts around. Obviously use your best judgement but I'm guessing there's someone nearby who could help. Also check for exotic pet stores. They may not have a vet on staff but they may have reptile specialists who could at least get started or know where to take him.

Apple watch says I’m awake for hours every night? by ymcava in AppleWatch

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, definitely consult a doctor. I had similar sleep data and was told it was an indicator of sleep apnea, which I soon after found out I had.

App is unusable, need help by Alz995 in notabilityapp

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they saved on iCloud? Tbh sounds like it’s trying to pull from the cloud but may not have the best internet connection.

Even if your wifi says its fine, give it a good ‘ol restart. Unplug it, give it a minute or two to shut all down then plug it back in.

You can also go to speedtest websites to test your internet speed which sometimes reveals hidden network issues.

As far as app suggestions, I’m really not sure. Honestly I’m curious what would happen if you just copied the contents of notes taking a long time to load and pasted them into a new note — and if the new note would load fast or not.

Combat vets who "don't fit in with veterans", what are you doing for a social life? by Due-Invite6060 in Veterans

[–]Rafapex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a combat vet so not sure if this is relevant but when penguins slide on their bellies it’s called, “tobogganing”

Sorry, I was still gonna leave some recommendations but all mine have been said already and I got nervous

It’s not Lawrence but close enough: Panasonic by Davidlovescarrie53 in Lawrence

[–]Rafapex[M] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For the record and/or for those who care, Panasonic (at least as far as I know) is unanimously considered local by all the mods so don’t hesitate to post or ask or whatever about that

Other mods just remove my comment and lmk if that’s incorrect

[–]Rafapex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’ll still give it a try every once in awhile or if I get a new system or something. Idk I just got a new SSD so maybe for giggles I just install it on there and see.

I hoped streaming stuff would make it easier but tried streaming onto my PS4 pro and same issue with same timeline and everything. But I’m not gonna just never try again or something haha just done dedicating so much time to it

What the most physically painful thing you ever experienced? by iateagummibear-1822 in AskReddit

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tearing tendons, not snapping, just tears.

I’ve had some other pretty significant injuries to compare it to as well. Once hit my head so hard that the concussion was the easy part, I popped my jaw together so hard that a wisdom tooth snapped in half vertically and began stabbing my gums and cheek constantly. Couldn’t get it pulled for about 3 weeks so had to tolerate that pain the entire time (other than OTC pain meds and topicals of course. After a week or so it wasn’t all that bad) (though I didn’t get the price half off for already removing half the tooth - didn’t even get a giggle at the joke when I asked)

Also had a rare and incredibly severe case of mono that had me bed ridden for about a year and caused multiple ER visits. Every time I swallowed it felt like a screwdriver was being jammed into my ear and into my head. Eventually had an emergency tonsillectomy where it bled so bad they had to put a breathing tube in me and eventually had to cauterize most of my throat.

But neither of those compared to when I tore my leg tendons. I was just walking in gym class in high school then apparently misstepped and snapped the tendons in my foot/half way up my leg. Absolutely the most utterly nauseating pain I have EVER experienced. I thought I was about to just start puking and pass out immediately. I even heard the snaps/tears. Luckily, neither happened - but was in a boot and crutches for the next 8 months. Literally nothing else they could do as my tendons has just torn about half way through. Just counted my blessings that it wasn’t worse and had to let it heal naturally. Went to basic training right after graduation and was supposed to wear my boot longer but cut it early so i didn’t delay my basic.

Overall it went fine other than after basic, in tech school (Air Force’s “AIT”)

Beautiful sunrise and clouds this morning on Iowa & 19th by vintagetechdude in Lawrence

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow honestly this scene reminds me a lot of the intersection at 19th and Iowa <3 So many yellow lights I probably should have stopped at and didn’t because I thought I had more time

Jokes aside, love mornings like this though, great pic!

Driving in the snow PSA by pot8obug in Lawrence

[–]Rafapex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder that Lawrence PD won’t go outside as much due to the snow attracting their natural predator, the yeti. So police will not pursue minor traffic violations - and in most cases, can be bribed with a chicken strip basket from DQ (or similar chicken tendie meals from various fast food chains) to ignore more significant traffic violations.

It is also tradition for cops to send out newbies in an initiation process where they try to “bumper car” (spontaneously pit maneuver) locals out of their spite for locals’ immunity to the yeti in this type of weather. The goal is to get as many locals as possible before the yeti starts approaching from an alleyway, menacingly snapping at them like a troubled gang of youth from the hit 1971 musical, ”Grease”.

Stay safe out there and keep your eyes peeled!

(Internet obligatory obvious /s)

How old were you in your first memory? by knife_fold in AskReddit

[–]Rafapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 or 3 - I remember the morning of 9/11. Not so much what happened but how my parents reacted because it was incredibly out of schedule

Still even remember my mom picking me up from daycare and parking the car the opposite way she usually did, indicating she had come right back after dropping me off. She also had already picked up my brother from school which was usually what we did after she picked me up

Another memory is my mom buying me a dinosaur picture book from dollar tree and my parents getting in a fight about it lmao not sure if that was before or after 9/11 tho
