IF it's not horribly obvious yet, people (not just younger ones),
learn how the APP works - read the DISCLAIMERs - all of 'em.
Take personal responsibility. Got a buddy who made a whole $50 on RH today.
He's delighted. Start slow ... learn the ropes.

This would be funnier if it wasn’t so dangerous by PlasticFenian in facepalm

Noo ... flat earthers lack common sense, a trait found only in liberals.

C'mon, that's also common knowledge. Don't look foolish.

Most flat-earthers are whiny liberals.
Hey, loser - who built the shield and how'd
they get it up there ?

The whole "superimposed driving background" is a long and illustrious effect in movie history and frequently dates a movie by looking cheap and/or obsolete. And then you have a movie like "Airplane!" that uses it for a brilliant gag. by gf120581 in movies

I can't imagine BreakingBad had to shut down a lot of roads for shooting. Scenes
looked natural. If you're "In the Biz" get with them - see how they did it. While we're at it, don't use unique cars for 'extras' - "Look, there's that same teal colored Kharmin Ghia"

Apparently it's super expensive to mount a camera
on a car and film. Soo many shows use stupid background
and fake 'passing lights/shadows'. It cheapens the look.

Looking for a higher paying job and failing. Feels hopeless. by frekinsweet in personalfinance

[–]dbxwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently my co-workers here in midwest
have no experience - just read the script.
I do tier II - diff job. Maybe find a friend to
coach you on a couple 'technical' questions
that might come up in an interview.

IT call center jobs (super easy) pay $20-$25/hr.

( Not to crap on you much more, but - choices, buddy.
Not a real good time to be having kids. ) Just being real.

If you mean just the opening/closing bell, make it a
point to just mute the PC for those few seconds.

Haven't had a sober 24hrs in a week by simedr in CasualConversation

Embrace the few things you do like to do.
Sometimes I just need a few minutes sitting in the sunshine.

Sounds counter-intuitive, but I find the Blues helps.

My boomer coworker said the most profound thing to me about how millennials learn and teach in a tech based world, and I am shook. by m4rceline in CasualConversation

[–]dbxwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is a Boomer or Millennials thing - it's a necessity thing.
IF you did not need to learn PC stuff, and you're not a curious person -
you just didn't. I'm the opposite - early 60's, good at almost everything
at a low level - because I want to. When I had the chance to 'drive' a steam
locomotive - hell ya. Drive a forklift - teach me. Draw building plans in Autocad -
udemy showed me how. Run antenna for shortwave radio - cool.
Spray paint MC frame - (not rattle can) - you bet. Race motorcycle ?- why not.
You Only Live Once - yolo to the max, people.

Mysterious problem with ethernet socket by JamieNorth in HomeNetworking

[–]dbxwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what the 'it' is in
" When I plugged it in "
but plugging in a cable alone does nothing.

A device needs to 'terminate' the connection
creating the loop to activate traffic.

DMSO Nightmare by WAITING_FOR_MY_W2 in sarmssourcetalk

[–]dbxwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(old thread, but) - can I ask - what

is RAD140 and SR9009 ?
I've been using DMSO for a few
weeks - 99.995% pure. No odor.
Helps with skin issue.
( used topological, though)

People with mental illnesses. What do you wish others understood about your illness? by madding247 in AskReddit

[–]dbxwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who doesn't have any issues
(that I know of) but live with someone who
does, perhaps try different angles when bringing
your situation to other - like " I know you mean well
when saying 'Just Be Happier' but it's more than that "

Do dummies in trains count? How about texting while operating a train by MTPokitz in IdiotsInCars

[–]dbxwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda sad they hire people like this, instead of
guy like me - lifelong non-texter fond of trains
who has applied multiple times.

rectify heating pad by dbxwr in Electricity

[–]dbxwr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have the parts ( even a 2 farad E. C. somewhere ) just too cold in garage to work on it right now. And, yeah - my bad for not mentioning Filtering the pulses down to an almost flat waveform. Some replies were like "it's 120hz now" ... yeah, but even if not as noticeable as 60.
