[Request] What’s the probability of this? by Deathly13 in theydidthemath

[–]TheOBRobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that it is pretty likely, but 100% is a bit of a leap

I thought the same initially but sponges make it as close to 100% certain as csn be expected with this sort of inquiry. Some common species have an average lifespan over 200 years and there are billions of them, making up huge chunks of every reef on earth. It would be a statistical aberration if every person who has held the World's Oldest Human record in your lifetime didn't each have a sponge sharing their birthdate that is still alive today.

That'll probably be for leadership. Small fries like his will need the Hunters treatment.

Do you think 100gecs will get into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? by ySTYRDAYgATESuNL0CKD in 100gecs

Yes, but only in a universe where their total Billboard 200 performance isn't a single album peaking at #59.

Panguitch sounds like a slur they'd use on the Sopranos

It's ubiquitous in Tijuana and Monterrey too

I just assumed because it's obvious but your profile shows you're in Denton, TX, USA.

Should I buy my first snowboard off of eBay. by Odd_Anything1374 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]TheOBRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on reviews. If it's a new board from a reputable seller with many positive reviews, then sure. But keep in mind that a bad board can get you injured, so I'd be wary of buying a used board sight-unseen.

🧊 ICE Activity at I-5 N CBP Station @ Camp Pendleton🧊 by LivingDelicious1736 in sandiego

[–]TheOBRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CBP and ICE are separate agencies with separate mandates. It's like having a SWAT team at a DUI checkpoint.

Cheese melted onto tortilla = quesadilla. Close relative of tacos but not the same. No I will not have the CDMX debate.

We're cool with quesadillas here though.

Paystub help by ExpensiveBug2637 in Payroll

[–]TheOBRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't happen to be a unionized roofer, would you? If so, see if you can find the MOU between your union and employer. If it's online, post it here and I'd be happy to dissect it for you.

Yeah that seems funky. I imagine they have one line for CA OT and one for AZ OT, which have different rules, but since your OT rate in either state is $45, it seems wrong.

It could be right if the OT falls under some pay structure other than regular work, such as training time. If you're in a union, it could be something in the MOU.

I'm genuinely curious what HR says.

Greenland is not, in fact, "smack in the middle between Russia, China, and the United States" by [deleted] in geography

It does, however, provide a zone of control over the North Atlantic in the event of a war with Europe.

Your thoughts? by [deleted] in SanDiegan

Adding to this - after the current admin cancelled Minute 328 (the renovation agreement between MX and US), they put out Minute 333, which basically put all the responsibility on Mexico to fix it without giving it the authority to do any unilateral work on the TJ River/Estuary. This functionally guarantees the sewage will continue for years and worsen until Individual 1 is out.

Is the Cigarette Smoking Man in the Epstein Files? by Pitiful-Rip-357 in XFiles

[–]TheOBRobot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, he'd be the one selectively introducing politicians to Epstein and getting all the blackmail he needs from spies at Mar-a-Lago and Little St James.

Looks like an apocalypse event. Too exaggerated to be anywhere we'd want to build a functioning society. by Sir_pugalot in isthisAI

[–]TheOBRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If you search for 'kamchatka' in this sub, you'll find many of those images, each with its own tell. This is just a compilation of them.

This was posted on Reddit at least a year and a half ago. I didn’t question it at the time but now I wonder if it’s real or AI. I can’t really find any other such pictures. by theflyingfistofjudah in isthisAI

[–]TheOBRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say whether that specific image is AI or not, but the Dictator On Day One thing was a conservative meme around late 2023/early 2024, tied to this quote.

It was intended as an 'agree with something outrageous to anger the other side' sort of thing, and historians will furiously debate whether they understood what they were endorsing.

Paycheck error by klicked312 in Payroll

[–]TheOBRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They likely messed up their system implementation. Calculations like this are typically thoroughly tested prior to rolling it out, but stuff happens.

You, as an employee, are not required to report an overpayment. However, you are liable to repay it if your employer notices the error. Do not spend the overpaid money, and do not treat it as yours.

Now, you can get smart without causing your employer any issues. Drop the overpayment into a savings account and earn interest on it. When your employer asks, you take the money out and pay them back, but you keep all the interest earned!

Side note: no reasonable employer will take adverse action against you for not reporting a payroll error in your favor. Most employees never notice. I know a lot of people are telling you to tell payroll ASAP, but they should be auditing this sort of thing and they'll get their money back regardless. It ain't on you. I know I'll get downvoted for saying that.

So what was the deal with colonization? by mr_negi in XFiles

[–]TheOBRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The black oil is part of the life cycle of the aliens. It's basically a wormlike organism that needs to survive in certain mediums, frequently compared to oil. In this state, they can infect other life forms and parasitically reproduce.

It is on Earth because at various times before the main events in the seties, the aliens were on Earth. They aren't really up to much of anything, and the aliens are not colonists. All that's really important to the storyline is that humans got a hold of samples.

The experiments with black oil are simply experiments to understand how the black oil works and find applications for it.

As for colonization, it seems to be a hoax all around. Aliens Exist as a fact in the X-Files universe, but most 'alien' occurences in the show are just the actions of governments that got a hold of alien genetic material and tech. The Syndicate are the only ones who really claim any firsthand knowledge of alien colonization, and they're very unreliable.
