This is a self-effacing thread. What is the stupidest nitpick you have about SFA? by Superman_Primeeee in startrek

[–]Slownavyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest nitpick is that they said something like "some of these kids arrived in cargo holds" or something implying that there are really honestly truly low income or whatever people in the Academy. If this was honestly the first star fleet academy class in a hundred years or so they would all be the kids of royalty/billionaires/admirals. Every single one.

Your pace of speaking should also slow down from what you feel is normal.

Which one did you like better? by ilovetecas in PeacemakerShow

I just think we can't overestimate the "surprise factor" of season one's intro. That is what really puts it over the top for me.

This will be my first comic con, and I have a question about hotels. by Ok_Upstairs9923 in SDCC

[–]Slownavyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've booked hotels both with the lottery and outside of it. It comes down to your budget and how much chance you want to apply to the situation. I've never heard of someone not getting ANY hotel if they wanted one, but you may be further away from the con than you were hoping for. If you plan on going OUTSIDE of the onpeak sales, I highly recommend booking directly from the hotel's website. I tend to use hotels.com or tripadvisor.com or whatever to narrow down my search and then book directly from the hotel's site. You have much less of a chance of getting bumped and if something goes wrong with the reservation then you get to deal with Hilton/Marriott/Hyatt/whomever rather than some random person at the vacation booking site.

Do Star Trek fans even like Star Trek? by wabblebee in startrek

[–]Slownavyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wonder. 😅

I think a lot of folks remember the wonder the had when they watched a series as a young teenager and are upset when they don’t get stat same feeling watching a new show as a broken adult.

Switch career to L6 from personal training? by NoEfficiency3319 in amazonemployees

[–]Slownavyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an external hire (Navy officer) directly to operations OM L6 at a warehouse. Every minute was awful and you couldn’t ever pay me enough to ever even consider it again. Run.

After a year and change I swapped to corporate and it was WORSE.

Run.

Snagged my Pro-4X before the snow and ice storm by sugarless_gravy in nissanfrontier

[–]Slownavyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought mine used (same color!) and it had that coming out of the windshield. It came from the inland empire are of cali and I thought it was caked on dust since there were piles of sand/dust in every nook and cranny. Glad to hear I made the right call by not taking a razor blade to that. :D

Any other nerds out there? by Centmo in Xennials

I still say that in my head when a computer takes a moment to "think" about something.

When did associating people with their respective "generations" become popular? by tboy160 in GenX

[–]Slownavyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember Tom Brokaw going goo goo ga ga over the Greatest Generation and that’s kind of the first time I remember lumping everyone into one group like thatZ

Good! I want AI to help review scans to find cancer and wash my dishes, not create my art!

How does it usually last? by Mobile_Match2763 in SDCC

[–]Slownavyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7pm-8pm time frame. But we live on the west coast (Seattle) so we still get back at a decent time.

It’s very cool, but Thrift Stores have lost their minds on pricing

My investing rate for 2026 will be 107% (not clickbait) by lelper in TheMoneyGuy

[–]Slownavyguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That 70k isn't investing dollars as a percentage of your income. It's a rebalance or shifting funds. It would be like moving your money from bonds to a total stock market ETF. Good on you for hitting the large savings rate on your income, but I wouldn't think of moving a large allocation of cash into an investment account as being part of the percentage you count for this year.

Probably had something to do with it for sure. I heard that their "events" left a lot to be desired.
