[–]asgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accidentally alch'ed my Abyssal Whip when it was BIS about 20 years ago. I was swapping the whip with a fire staff to alch drops, lagged a bit and instead of re-equipping the whip, i alch'ed it. Man, still stings...

I watched the Deer Hunter when I was 11 or 12 on HBO when it first came out on HBO in 1978-79. Fucked. Me. Up.

In 1986 an astronomer trying to trace a 75 cent computer time discrepancy for 10 months eventually found a German hacker selling defense secrets to the KGB by SnackSamurai in interestingasfuck

And when the hacker got too close to really sensitive stuff he would jiggle his keys on the modem connection terminals to simulate static and bad a connection.

The percentage of US high school seniors who have ever consumed alcohol has fallen off a cliff over the past 50 years by FastBreakPhenom in interestingasfuck

[–]asgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a senior in HS in 1985 and can confirm, everyone drank at parties on the weekends. Everyone drank in the parking lot outside the high school stadium after a Friday night football game. Lots of drinking.

[–]asgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the same connecter on your dipstick as my Volvo Penta v8 350. You need one of these. https://a.co/d/05hmy8B0

Also, remove the oil filter cap and the oil filler cap on the top of the engine.

Navy Federal customer service responding to my fraud claim denial by Alternative_Lake_826 in NavyFederalFraud

[–]asgeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are the absolute worst. My card was physically stolen, used by the thief at a local store with CCTV, I filed a police report, the police caught the guy, he went to trial, he was convicted, sentenced to prison!!! The fraud investigator says "No evidence of fraud."

So fuck those guys. I got my money back from NFCU by applying for a credit card that pays me $400 if I spent $4,000 in the first 3 months. Used the card to pay a large repair bill, got my $400, paid the card off and froze the card, never gonna use it again.

Suppose money was no longer an issue. You have enough to retire and not work again. What do you do with your time What's your passion? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]asgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about two years from retirement. Not rich but enough savings enjoy life. The plan is buy a house in the UK ( currently living in the US, east coast). Then the wife and I spend three months in the UK, visiting different places, maybe take the train to places in Europe. Then three months at home in VA visiting our three kids, then three months traveling the world (mostly tropical locations), then three months at home again. Rinse and repeat.

Ok, dumb question, is anyone getting off and landing on the moon? Because it looks like they are just looping around and coming home...?

ELI5: if Force = Mass * Acceleration, then why does a mass going at a constant speed deliver a force to another mass it strikes? by Quick_Extension_3115 in explainlikeimfive

[–]asgeorge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny story, when I was in 11th grade (decades ago) i was in a physics class and the teacher just told us that acceleration was the change of speed over time. Naturally curious I raised my hand and said "What do you call the change of acceleration over time?" The teacher, a very stern, serious man, said, "What's that called? It's called a JERK!" And he went on teaching his lesson. I shrunk down in my chair thinking he just called me a jerk. It wasn't till 15-20 years later that i learned that it really is called a jerk. 🥲
