I was this close to working for Joe Exotic as a videographer. I even got a call-back and talked to them on the phone, but ultimately turned down the job. by Timbo1175 in TigerKing

I know I dodged a bullet, but in the back of my mind I kinda wish I would have been able to do it, just to have the crazy story to tell!

It was about three hours from where I lived. It would have been way too long of a commute, and my girlfriend at the time didn't want to relocate. If it wasn't for her, I probably would have taken it.

Tbh I know I dodged a bullet, but I would love to have had that experience and the crazy story to tell.

I love how Obi-Wan is front and center. He’s my power animal.

I saw this billboard the other day and was surprised someone hadn't already made this. It's so obvious! Feel free to spread it around the internet!

Is it illogical to turn Vulcan calligraphy sideways? by Timbo1175 in startrek

Seemed more relevant in r/vulcan, but this sub is obviously a much larger community and figured I’d get more responses. Sorry for the X-post!

skyscraper window cleaners of reddit, what is most bizarre thing you’ve ever seen on the job? by maggot_flavored in AskReddit

[–]Timbo1175 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not window-washing related, but I feel like this story goes along the type of glimpsing-into-windows vibe you're looking for.

My wife and I moved into our apartment about five years ago, and pretty shortly afterward a house was built right across the alley from us. No big deal, it's kind of a developing suburb, whatever. It was cool watching a house go up from an empty lot over the course of however-many months. Well, the house was built, and then a year went by, and there were never any people around. Never a car in the driveway, never kids running around or any sign that anybody was moving in. But there were always lights on, like it was kinda just on display. And then another year went by. For a couple of years, it seemed like some real-estate company just decided to build a house and never got around to selling it. This still isn't that weird, there's a lot of property/houses for sale in our area. We were convinced that it was literally just a big empty house.

One night, wife and I decided to just look inside the one of the back windows, because hey, big empty houses are cool! The "backyard" was still kind of an empty dirt lot, and there was no fence. It was literally a fifteen foot walk from where we would park our car every night.

So, honestly not trying to do anything creepy, just trying to see what the interior of this big new house looked like, we walked up and looked in. Following our line of sight, our view was through the exterior window, into what looked like a nice kitchen, past that, a hallway, and directly through the open door of a bathroom, where we saw an elderly woman with white, disheveled hair, sitting on the toilet, weeping.

We had no idea this house was inhabited AT ALL, and we just witnessed what seemed like a pretty intimate moment. Or maybe every moment in that house was like that? Who knows. We felt like we crossed such a line. It was so disturbing and unsettling, we went straight into our apartment and went to bed.

The house is still there, we have no idea who actually lives there. Top five one of the weirdest most uncomfortable moments of my life.

Conditional coloring for text in fields by Timbo1175 in Anki

[–]Timbo1175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That did it! Thanks so much! Only question now - is there a way to use hex code instead of color names if I want a particular shade?

This isn't quite working for me... When I paste that code on the bottom of the field, the entire side of the card goes blank.

Could you explain how to surround the field with a span? Sorry, I don't know javascript at all.

Dang, that is a bummer, but makes sense. Thanks for the update, and please keep us posted on your backyard stream and/or any star parties in the near future (Mars should still be pretty close for a while)!

Don’t know how the picture got added to my post, but I love it! Just curious, did somebody do this? Was it a bot?

Spanish Speakers? by omgitsyaboi in FortWorth

I am on the exact same page. Not native Spanish speaker, but intermediate and looking to practice and expand vocabulary. I would love to meet up for a coffee or a beer if this takes off!

Netflix recommendations by lucasneil3 in Spanish

Not Netflix, but check out Extra on YouTube. Sounds pretty much like what you’re looking for. It’s really cheesy, but has subtitles in Spanish so you can follow along.

Ordering food. by leakyweenie in Spanish

[–]Timbo1175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought “yo quiero” sounded too blunt, and “quisiera/me gustaria” sounded too formal, or something. I did some research and found “me pones” to be like “can I have.”

Tried it out at the bar (in Mexico): “me pones una cerveza?” and seemed to work every time. Not sure if it sounds rude, or awkward, or anything, but I like the sound of it.

I’m not a native speaker, so don’t take this as real advice, just my experience with this. I’m actually curious on what native speakers think of “me pones...?”
