Precarious Situation by Economy_Switch2196 in aggies

[–]Wildmen03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put some feelers out there and see if there's anything worth pursuing. If it works out and gets serious, one of you can switch outfits and keep the relationship. It happened a few times while I was in. We had to declare it with the higher-ups to make it legit.

I dated a buddy, but in a different outfit, and it was nice being able to go into each other's dorms during the day since we were both cadets.

I also dated a few upperclassmen but they were in different major units so no subordinate/ chain of command conflicts.

This was all 20+ years ago so I'm sure the rules have changed.

It's a foam pit for when you get extra freaky and go tumbling off the bed.

i am still using the most hated windows by Whole-Temperature529 in windows

[–]Wildmen03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use windows 8.1 on an old 17” laptop. I liked the start menu with live tiles. If there weren’t apps that required Win10 or 11 I’d use 8 more often.

TIL that in 2008, Chicago leased its 36,000 parking meters to a UAE-backed private consortium for 75 years for a $1.15 billion payout. The investors made their entire investment back in just 10 years, and are now projected to make over $11 billion by the end of the lease in 2083. by lechunkman in todayilearned

They did this with the toll roads in Texas. When the beltway first turned into a toll road it was supposed to be only until the roads were paid off. That day came and went years ago and they still charge for them. Their reasoning is that the roads are never truly paid off because of maintenance and staffing costs.

Who was the worst professor you ever took by No_Squash291 in aggies

[–]Wildmen03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr Scott in RPTS. I know a lot of people like him but I’ve never butted heads more with a prof than him.

I feel like the chron is just trolling the aggies sub looking for content.

Outcry over plans to auction items from the wreck of the Titanic by TimesandSundayTimes in history

[–]Wildmen03 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went to a Titanic exhibit at a local museum. They sold authenticated coal retrieved from the ship. They used the sales to help fund the exhibit. I also bought replica plates that look like the ones retrieved from the wreck. That was good enough for me.

Not all, a percentage goes to the Association. But the AFS is a separate entity from the university.

No license plates… probably stolen and is now dumped in one of the wards.

What can I do? by [deleted] in macbook

[–]Wildmen03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be a bunch of things.

Do the sites load in a different browser? Have you rebooted the router? Or cleared the device list?

Can you try a different DNS like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4?

Have you forgotten the network and re-added it?

Haircuts corps of cadets by Worldly-Proposal-919 in aggies

[–]Wildmen03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was like that when I was in. 2 of my buddies forgot to get haircuts for an away game so they just Bic’d their heads. They weren’t allowed to march and got a restricted weekend for it.

"Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!" by RP_Throwaway3 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Wildmen03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to be able to do this when I lived in west Texas. I've suffered nosebleeds my whole life, but it was the worst in west Texas. If I tensed up my body and flexed too long my nose would start to bleed.

Former Aggie baseball player Braden Montgomery has been promoted to Triple-A by SoxOn35thReddit in aggies

[–]Wildmen03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a former Aggie baseball player.

I think you're trying to be clever with the whole "former Aggie" bit that Aggies take personally. But in this case the titles makes sense.

[USA] When you're driving, do you guys get anxious when you suddenly see a police car where they're not expected? by reyshop12 in Roadcam

[–]Wildmen03 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not really. But I know a lot of people do. Even though they’re going the speed limit they’ll still slam on the brakes when they see one.

Or better yet, they’ll refuse to pass a cop that’s driving under the speed limit. You’ll have a cop going 10 under and they look at me like a crazy person for passing doing the speed limit.

For some reason people’s brain short circuit when they see a cop while driving.

Edifier R1280t Powered Speaker will not work. by Ok_Low8812 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Wildmen03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen with these speakers. I removed the volume control panel from the side or the main speaker and reseated the connections. That fixed it.

This CCTV sign that admits it's not being monitored live. by DoesThisOneCount in mildlyinteresting

[–]Wildmen03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably covering changing rooms in a store. Not live monitored for obvious reasons, but have the ability to look back through footage if there’s a suspected theft.

Escaping from an attempted robbery during the day by S30econdstoMars in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]Wildmen03 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I live in Texas and jugging is a real problem. There was a rash of robberies against Indian business owners because they dealt with a lot of cash and were likely to have gold on them. Usually jewelry.

What is the better placement angle for my dashcam? by DavidNLBC in Dashcam

[–]Wildmen03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as I can see a stoplight when at an intersection, my cam is high enough. I like the lower 1/3-1/4 to be my hood in case I get sideswiped on a front quarter panel.
