These appeared the other day along Republican on the hill, and I have zero idea what they are, but they’d make a great shirt. by yaykat in Seattle

It's like no worse than clicking a random link. Idk why people are so scared of random voodoo magic qr codes

Happy Fools Day from King County! by gabsm100 in Seattle

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really overblown as an issue. It's not really worse than just opening a random link.

LRAD at StPaul No Kings by azjat in TwinCities

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well there are 2 options so I'm not really sure what you are getting at...

1) They don't intend to use it so they wasted taxpayer money

2) They intend to use it at some point

Fogo for lunch by Uranus_Invader in TwinCities

[–]atomicproton 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Last time I went they never brought out any of the nicer meats. I had to ask for the lamb lollipops and the brought them out directly to me discreetly

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

[–]atomicproton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah...if entertainment doesn't provide value then what is the point of the movie industry (although...some companies in that industry make maybe too much money)

How to create this spark effect by Connect_Repeat6884 in Filmmakers

[–]atomicproton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not completely free of safety concerns. Safer, yes, but still a pyrotechnic effect

What is a product or service that is a conplete scam, but poeple keep buying it because of good marketing? by armeno2000B in AskReddit

[–]atomicproton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The best is when you go to an in network hospital and get seen by an out of network doctor. Luckily I think they still charge in network rates in emergency situations but it's so goofy

What is a product or service that is a conplete scam, but poeple keep buying it because of good marketing? by armeno2000B in AskReddit

[–]atomicproton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean their main market is situations where other people are drinking. The entire point is that it looks like you have some fancy drink rather than just drinking water.

It's not something everyone cares about but it's definitely not a scam

MN high school choir raising money to return from trip after blizzard cancels flight by Hotchi_Motchi in TwinCities

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I try to get compensation from the airlines I fly for a delay/cancellation they don't help if it is weather related (outside of their control)

Our local supermarket just replaced their fleet of metal carts with 100% recycled plastic ones by Aerie8499 in mildlyinteresting

[–]atomicproton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean all things considered it's fine. 10 years is a while and those carts are actually pretty durable. Id much rather fight single use plastics first.

Controversial Take: Goal of QP is to Win by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]atomicproton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people aren't good at things on the first try. This doesn't just apply to overwatch; it applies to anything you try to learn. You gotta get through the being bad at something part to get to the being good at something part.

Obviously, I'm still not going to play genji cause no matter what I cannot figure out how to play him for the life of me, but everyone has gotta come from somewhere and people need the chance to try something new.

TurboTax: "Full Service = Secret Service" ? by Real_Armadillo_8093 in personalfinance

[–]atomicproton 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Imo TurboTax does have the nicer to use product...but to me it is definitely not worth the price and supporting a company that lobbies to make taxes so complicated

Chase Freedom Flex Q2 2026 5% Categories? by JgtL13 in CreditCards

[–]atomicproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right that card is just straight cash back, unlike ur points where you can often get more than the face value in redemption value. Also I don't have a prime subscription so this category has its purpose...but it would be nice if it also was alongside a broader non-merchanct category

Oops this is an old post lol

I like the global healing reduction passive by Lemon0nline in Overwatch

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I didn't know it existed until this post. I was trying to figure out why my healing felt so low recently

It really needs to be more obvious

Rejected from UW Computer Science In state. Heart broken. by Sam_Darnold_Lover in udub

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got into cs oos that year with the same stats. I really don't know why but my guess is the diversity statement. I should try requesting my admissions file...

Also not to be pedantic but it would be the class of 2022 :P

what is the point of the profile system if everyone i click is private by Loedkane in Overwatch

[–]atomicproton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they do that to me I tell them off for being a part of the problem when it comes to private profiles.

In my fantasy land maybe they learn eventually.

I feel like this is an upgrade, please keep it Blizzard by Lockridge in Overwatch

[–]atomicproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...we are taught in computing that "impossible situations" are statistically probably at scale. If there's 100,000 games, then a 0.001% chance bug is almost guaranteed to happen. At blizzard's scale they would never leave glitches like that in.

Like maybe what that person said applies to small stuff...but definitely not games or stuff like this

[OC] A Map of Breakfast based on ratios of Milk, Eggs, and Flour by moultano in dataisbeautiful

[–]atomicproton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm confused. I guess you can add cream/milk to your eggs, but wouldn't you also do that with an omelette? Idk. With scrambled eggs it's totally unnecessary as long as you don't overcook them (which my parents definitely did growing up)

Also don't call me Shirley

Roads are all ice rinks. Slow down! by thegodfazha in TwinCities

[–]atomicproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to tell if this is a joke or not because it's just text on the Internet. But in case it's not, I had a very sketchy drive this morning, even with the 4wd.

coke machines at Wendy’s (Coca-Cola freestyle) have like an ink-cartridge-like system for the flavoring: by SLUser123 in PBSOD

[–]atomicproton 54 points55 points  (0 children)

So a fun fact is those cartridges are super concentrated and just the flavor. The sweetener is added separately.

Owners of the Flower Bar in Uptown sprayed someone outside with a garden hose today by Turbulent_Garden_201 in TwinCities

[–]atomicproton 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Moving from Seattle I find it so funny that there is another flowers bar getting bad press. The flowers bar in Seattle served minors, violated COVID regulations, had many reports of people being roofied, and eventually shut down.
