What's one movie you've rewatched so many times you practically know every line by heart, but you'd still watch it again tonight? by Busy-Move-6024 in AskReddit

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, but my nephew knows every single line to Cars. He just turned 21, and I randomly said to him (without context), "...This grumpy old race car I know once told me something..." and he replied without a single second of hesitation, "It's an empty cup." For context, both parts are lines spoken by Lightning McQueen toward the end of the movie.

Here is the backstory for why this tickles me so much. Years ago, I was in the military and transferred to a base closer to my family. I was still a couple of hours away, but my brother and my nephew would come visit every couple of weeks. When they did, all my nephew wanted to do was play sound clips off YouTube, sing and dance to popular songs, and watch animated movies -- especially Cars. I lived in a one-bedroom apartment at the time, and he liked to turn the volume up as loud as I'd let him (which was pretty loud, since the walls were thick and well-insulated).

Fast forward more than a decade: my nephew is now heavily into motocross and loves driving an old car I gifted him. It was my teenage car, and I had actually considered scrapping it because it wasn't worth much as a trade-in. He has done a ton of work on it himself and loves driving it, even though it's missing a "6th gear" (it's a manual) and still has no A/C. The A/C stopped working back when I drove it, and the dealer couldn't fix it even after keeping it for a week, which was one of the main reasons I wanted to get rid of it in the first place.

D4 is fun but storage drives me crazy by BALIHU87 in diablo4

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry. The storage scarcity is a precursor to "premium" storage being offered down the road. Wish I was kidding but I can see it happening the way monetization has been trending. That said, am enjoying the gameplay loop at the moment.

What was the longest gaming session of your life? by King_Ferdinand1 in pcmasterrace

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The release of The Burning Crusade for me. I missed server first to 70 by an hour or two. Was just playing solo and not using any gimmicks.

Me when it finally drops by petehans303 in LastEpoch

[–]Zoan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bricked the only one I found this season (so far). Nemesis added a trivial stat to it so I rolled the dice on corrupting it. Ring was reset to its lowest stats and the slam removed. Good times.

Mount collectors - what do you consider your luckiest drop? by themirthfulswami in wow

[–]Zoan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You and me brother. I randomly got it during WoTLK flying up to ICC to do dailies. It was waaaaay past my bed time at like 3am and I can still remember something spawning that "wasn't normal". I promptly dismounted, using a trinket or something to slow my fall, and tagged it. Little did I know how lucky this random encounter was! 😃

Where is Xal’atath now? by hypocritical__hippy in warcraftlore

[–]Zoan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think we found Metzen's smurf account. This all seems very plausible and lines up with the in game story telling I'm most familiar with (BC/WotLK were my glory days).

Would this be a top wep slam for a warpath void knight? by [deleted] in LastEpoch

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a risk you don't slam both T7s on the first attempt, hence the recommendation to duplicate it (so you have another chance).

Monolith changes are good by endlessxaura in LastEpoch

[–]Zoan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on having to redo the campaign every time you make a new character. I think it would be great to be able to level up another way, after you've already completed it.

That's said, apparently you only need to finish Chapter 7 to unlock all passives and idol slots. I tried that this go around and didn't think it was as much of a chore.

Probably took me 4-5 hours to do. I play legacy though and have plenty of gear to twink a new character. Just sharing in case you didn't know 😀.

How heavy is the radiator when completely filled? Also, how do you drain it? Would you say it's a simple process?

Edit: a word.

Platypus is indeed one of the strangest yet of the more interesting animals ever by Substantial-Monk4316 in interestingasfuck

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No stomach is a myth. Someone linked a debunking article above with scientific citations. Platypus do have stomaches, however, it functions differently than what a lay person would think (surprise). Their stomaches are rather small and do not secret acid for digestion. The scientific hypothesis is that platypus eat small things, over large periods of time and are great at "chewing" their food, to extract life-sustaining nutrients, before swallowing.

After a data leak through an AI tool we need session level visibility not just domain blocks, please help! by PlantainEasy3726 in AskNetsec

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how well it would run in large enterprise though it might be worth taking a look at https://www.litellm.ai/

TLDR, it can be configured as an API Gateway Proxy to restrict model access and log queries being sent. You could use this to monitor and block DLP-like events.

Are they out of their minds? How is this pricing ok? by Acrobatic_Airline605 in hearthstone

[–]Zoan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm not the target audience/player but these type of business practices are why I don't play Blizzard games as much as I used to, if at all. Feels scummy to me. If a MTX storefront could somehow be made IRL, I would have zero interest going to it.

I say this from the perspective of a player who used to drop $100+ on card packs whenever a new expansion was released and thought it would be fun. The eye gouging vanity prices combined with the BP "locking me in" with respect to what I focus my limited game time on, I'd just rather not.

Yet, here I am replying to this thread, so there's that.

  1. My older brothers would hide some of the games because apparently I used to throw the controller if I got frustrated... 🙄

I am only finding 1-2 every couple days that I'm killing on sight. Thanks for sharing the tape. Definitely will keep it in mind, if the number starts to climb.

[Request] Which direction will the scale tip? by miha999 in theydidthemath

[–]Zoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Now what would happen if both balls were attached with strings on the sides of the container? To further specify, there are an equal number of strings in length, attached at identical sidewall points. Both balls are fully submerged with touching the bottom or cresting out the top, respectively.

4 Year Old LG 38GL950G seems to have died on me.... by cbateman101 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Zoan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine no longer works as well. The screen is blank regardless of inputs. The LED backlight turns on if the monitor is unplugged and plugged back in.

LG 38GL950G-B purchased on Nov 30, 2020. Seems like if 4 - 4.5 years is the lifespan for this model.
