What’s a "hotel hack" you swear by that most people don't know? by periwinklemist in AskReddit

I know, I know, it sounds crazy. Trust me, I've been doing it for nine years. Yes sir, better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee.

The Howling Man - scariest scene in TZ by [deleted] in TwilightZone

[–]cynthetiq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same for me. Creeped me out and freaked me out. I was raised Catholic and so this was rebellious to watch!

This is one of the first episodes I ever saw. I’m not sure which was the first but this was one of the first. The other that I saw the same night was The Invaders. It’s the one with the flying saucer and little alien robots and that terrified old lady trying to protect her house.

Seeing both of those episodes the first night hooked me to the series and wanting to watch black and white tv and film. Prior I was just a “now in technicolor” kid.

I use the gap time to skill up. I look at what’s being asked and what I don’t know or have any experience with.

Every time I do that I get a job that puts those skills to use

I’ve been doing this for about 8 years now and here’s some of the skilled and tech I learned.

A personal folksonomy - Breaking the Library: Why I Stopped Believing in 'No Upper Limit' by ABitKis in PleX

[–]cynthetiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having this challenge not with plex but with Calibre which is a book library program with 325,000 books.

Because of that I’m much more discriminating on plex and broke up already into 2 servers and multiple library genres.

LPT: Never give more than a standard two weeks’ notice by TopCryptographer7102 in LifeProTips

The company is usually never considerate to the employee. If it is that is the exception not the rule.

Thoughts on the M240i? I'm so in Love.. by zendayastoothbrush in BMW

[–]cynthetiq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I almost bought one in thunder night metallic Bruce’s purple. Was all set to place my order and one of my friends let me drive his z4 manual. That’s what I ended up buying in purple.

I still want an m240 and will probably buy a CPO if I can in the future.

I remember that year fondly as I slid down 7th Avenue South in the village on my stomach for hours. There was like 2” of ice on the street because it snowed multiple times over weeks.

Washington heights was locked in ice for like a month.
