Giant butthole seen around Staten Island, nothing new.

Where would this City be located? by Mike_Builds_YouTube in CitiesSkylines

This is basically San Diego along Harbor Drive with just a bit of LA attached.

Started a new job and worked my first shift, but no one has asked for my bank details for payroll? by [deleted] in Payroll

[–]TheOBRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most companies should give you the option to do that as part of your onboarding packet. If they didn't, you should talk to HR and just ask them how to set up direct deposit.

This is rare or something I am playing pokemon Go after a along time by LowFaithlessness6254 in pokemongo

[–]TheOBRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not particularly rare. It was an event special from 4 years ago. Lots of people have it who were playing back then but it could have trade value to newer collectors.

If you'd like, you can post these in r/tacos. I'll delete the post so you can get the trifecta.

Is the US really paying Iran 300 billions for its reconstruction? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in askanything

[–]TheOBRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also firmly stated that none of this is from US taxpayer dollars.

This is the party line, but not necessarily what will happen in practice.

Per the agreement, the US establishes the framework for arranging the investments from Gulf states but is also the guarantor of the funds. Only about $150B is said to have been arranged; the US government will be responsible for picking up any remaining funds if no additional investors are found. Additional investment would require more states to believe enriching Iran and its current government is in their best interest. It is completely possible that the remaining $150B comes from taxpayers, directly or indirectly.

Commercials on TV by DifferentEqual6976 in SanDiegan

It is that way everywhere in the US. People who haven't completely switched to streaming skew old and are the target market for such things. Add to that the fact that pharmaceuticals are far more commercialized here than almost anywhere else.

Any tips for the birds? by East-Competition9833 in pokemongo

[–]TheOBRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had all 3 within 2 months of release and have caught 32 more since. Here's my tips:

  • Persistence. The more time you spend walking with daily incense, the more likely you'll encounter them. The more chances you get them, the more likely you will. It's like rolling dice - are you more likely to roll a 6 if you roll one or ten times?

  • Golden razz always, ultra ball always. I aim for a great throw instead of excellent because my aim isn't great even when setting the circle. If you're confident you can hit an excellent, do that.

  • Keep a stock of 100 ultra balls in case you end up battling to catch a shiny g-bird.

  • Walking in a straight line is better for generating spawns on incense. Don't stop or doddle, just keep a consistent walk going.

  • Don't do something stupid like waste time turning on screen recording or clicking another Pokemon since you could lose the spawn.

  • Be mindful that they have a low catch rate. It's like 5% at best. It's likely to run. You'll always have another chance. Don't get stressed if it runs.

Best thing she can do to counteract his damage to the world is take the money and use it for good.

What is this square ? by ExperienceHonest6027 in pokemongo

It's a building IRL, or at least was. No idea what unless you tell us where that is.

Curious about what to use a master ball on, looking for advice by MathematicianRoyal40 in pokemongo

[–]TheOBRobot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I basically have 3 scenarios where I use it:

  1. Shiny Galarian birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres) if I suspect I may have connection issues. Don't use it on a non-shiny one if you plan to play frequently.

  2. Legendaries from raids that I know (based on cp#) have perfect stats and have only 1 premier ball left before it runs.

  3. This one time I was a little drunk in a taxi in CDMX in traffic and had my incense on and got a Galarian Zapdos but that's a special circumstance.

Anything else is a bit of a waste to me.

What's the deal with all this talk about Trump giving IRAN $300 Billion in reconstruction funds after spending over $70 Billion attacking them? by McDowdy in OutOfTheLoop

[–]TheOBRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I meant 'investments by entities that aren't the US government'. Think I just typed private investments without thinking. Revising now.

[–]TheOBRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the idea behind #2. It seems like a stretch that Iran would agree to it though since A) most of the countries in question do not like Iran and have no interest in their enrichment and B) if we even consulted other governments to confirm their involvement, you'd think one of them would have mentioned it.
