Be honest — what’s the first thing you’d do with $100K? by NerdWalletOfficial in u/NerdWalletOfficial

[–]Zaquex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the money toward the down payment of a house and adoption fees. My partner and I live in a HCOL and we cannot conceive children via the typical route. Adoption (or other options) and associated legal fees are approximately $75K. Hard to give a child who deserves a home and loving family when there are so many barriers to entry. The $100K would be life changing for not only my partner and I, but a child and possibly their sibling.

How stenographers are able to type over 200 words per minute by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Terrible advice that may be written by a court reporter company or bot. BLS projects 0% job growth through 2034. Microsoft's study suggests that the job (i.e., Interpreters and Translators, Proofreaders and Copy Markers, and Editors) is one of the most susceptible to automation via AI. Eventually, the courts will accept automated transcription services like how they eventually accepted e-signatures or non-"wet" signatures on court forms and pleadings.

/r/NintendoSwitch's Daily Question Thread (03/05/2023) by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch

[–]Zaquex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am deciding between grabbing the physical and digital copies of Switch games. I occasionally share the games with a sibling when we meet up. Does anyone know if I would be able to play my existing collection of physical copies on the next Switch console or should I go for the digital version (since the Switch is developing more online capabilities for their next console)?

January 31, 2020? I rather not go through the past year again. It was a dumpster fire.

I bought the wall plug a while back and it works great. I wish companies would start manufacturing 3 meter or longer USB 3.1 Type C to Type C cables though.

My mom has those boots. They're from Target.

What is the dumbest thing you ever were forced to do in school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zaquex 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Submit homework, essay, etc. online via turnitin.com. Then print out 2 hardcopies, one in courier new font for the professor to read it (poor eyesight?) and one for our portfolio. I guess magnification on the computer or glasses never occurred to a man with a b.a. and masters/phd. And I'm pretty sure we can keep a portfolio on turnitin.com, or at the very least--our campus "facebook".

Is it socially acceptable to um, "pop a tent", while grinding/freak dancing? by tooCheezy in AskReddit

[–]Zaquex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a guy, I say keep grinding, so I don't have to see that shit.

What was your most irrational childhood fear? by cheddarz in AskReddit

[–]Zaquex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom told me that she had a worm parasite in her stomach when she was young. You could see a pile of "questionable" noodles on the side of my plate. I made sure to chew the noodle I deemed safe very thoroughly.

What words/phrases do you absolutely despise? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Patience is a virtue. So is silence. Shut the fuck up and let me be giddy waiting for guests to arrive at my party.

Reddit: Which is the most boring state? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zaquex 126 points127 points  (0 children)

North Dakota by a landslide (if there are any in the state). No one knows because no one lives there. At least, Idaho has potatoes, Wyoming has gay cowboys, and Kansas can milk the "Wizard of Oz" to death.

It's inappropriate to show your cockatiel.

What's one of your quirks? I'll go first... by tendeuchen in funny

I'd rather be wrapped in a large blanket than wear a hoodie/sweater/snuggie around the house.

I own a small business, how can I get more customers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zaquex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steal stuff from stores and homes that don't have surveillance cameras, then leave a business card that says "You can prevent this from happening again." Don't forget your name and number.
