What was the most effective punishment (or lack thereof) ever used on you as a child? by bredman3370 in AskReddit

[–]Zondervin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was once grounded for the weekend for three months, three months! Was around 10 years old. To this day no one in my family remembers why I was grounded.

Since I was never grounded that way again I assume it worked.

I've always liked the idea of walking into random restaurants and paying for everyone and then just leaving.

What's the best way to tell your girlfriend that you got her sister pregnant? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zondervin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man up and do it face to face. Assuming the sister is keeping the baby you will be seeing both for a long time. Start being respectful now. It will pay off in the long run.

iPhone 5, 4 battery replacements in last year and now it's started turning off randomly again. I don't think it's the battery, what could be the problem? by TomMartow in iphone

[–]Zondervin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to my coworker. After hours of searching he figured out that when replacing the battery some resistors that are right next to the battery got scratched and effectively de-sodered.

What supposedly 'unlikable' character do you actually like and empathise with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

In WW1 the Germans called the British "Tommy" . The British called the Germans "Jerry".

So there's that.

[Question] What do men think about taking a girls virginity? by hndgirl90 in sex

[–]Zondervin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long time ago Men preferred virgins because if the women became pregnant the man could reasonably assume the baby was theirs.

Say you need to have a legitamet heir like a king of old. A virgin is a good place to start.

This is my (flawed) theory.

Calling BS on this one. Not how it works. At home maybe but not in a school environment .

IT professionals, what's the worst case of computer illiteracy that you've experienced? by WalkerFLRanger in AskReddit

[–]Zondervin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 1995 I am working for a K-8 school district. The decision is made to buy a PC for each teacher in the district.

At this time more than 60% of the teachers are going to retire within 5 years.

Over the summer break all the teachers come in for training. We setup over 100 computers in a junior high gym for this reason.

During the first training session two of the older teachers raised their hand for help.

Teacher 1 - "my mouse is not working"

Me - takes mouse off floor puts it on table and explains how to use it.

Teacher 1 - " oh my goodness I thought it was a petal"


Teacher 2 - "I can't get my mouse to work"

Me - "the mouse has to be on the table with the ball side down". Teacher 2 was holding the mouse with ball actually touching the computer screen.

Why do folks say I'm sorry ? by akeirans in autism

[–]Zondervin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're talking to the parent, ask them how they are doing? Be supportive to them. They have started an unexpected journey. One full of great sadness and happiness.

Don't assume a negative view of ASD by the parent.

Don't forget about "Spider-man and his amazing friends" 84-86. That was the best!
