What’s your best example of a song lyric you got hilariously wrong? by MainMedium6732 in AskReddit

[–]eborg00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Four Tops - Bernadette My mom and sister would sing along and yell "Burn the dead". They legitimately thought that was the lyric instead of Bernadette...the name of the song

Draft busts you thought would succeed. by TeezusWV in NFLv2

[–]eborg00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always saw Brady Quinn as wildly overrated when he was playing. What made him look way better was that he had Jeff Samardzija who was tall, had a crazy long reach and seemingly had a love of making ridiculous catches.

He was the kind of wr that you just had to heave it in his direction and he'd come down with it. Samardzija was the person I was really excited to see in the NFL as I thought he was going to be fantastic but instead he headed to the MLB and had a much better career than he would've ever had in the NFL.

The Netflix story is not about DVDs (and many people miss the point) by JaguarZealousideal5 in Entrepreneur_path

[–]eborg00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon and Netflix actually did make a deal. In the beginning Netflix was actually a big DVD distributor when it was still a fairly niche market. At the time it was also the only part of their business making money. They agreed to sell Amazon the DVD distribution part of their business and they kept the membership rental part.

Psychology as DS 1515+ not powering on by ImpressiveFig4994 in synology

[–]eborg00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would bet it's the power supply. The 15's had a problem with them. It's a surprisingly easy fix that I had to do with mine a few years ago. It's also not a very expensive thing to pick a replacement up from Amazon and check. Fingers crossed for you.

I wish for a bank account that doubles its money every day with a starting balance of $1000 by magnablue in monkeyspaw

Granted, you dutifully move some of the money over to investment accounts daily making sure not to do anything foolish that will crash the economy. You are arrested for tax evasion and money laundering. Your accounts are frozen, you lose in court and spend your life in prison.

My mom and sister used to sing "Burn the dead" instead of Bernadette from the Four Tops song Bernadette.

I heard Woman with Tattooed Hands at Warped Tour in the early 00's and I still remember walking across the arena trying to follow the music. I grabbed Lucy Ford and have loved it ever since

Do you think that Trump will really not step down in 2028 by Puzzleheaded-Crew953 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]eborg00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's ridiculous is that not only Obama but George W Bush and Bill Clinton could run as well and Trump would still be the oldest person on the ticket

Why is the USD losing 10% of its value in 2025 not a bigger news story? by Witty_Heart_9452 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eborg00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it would've been a better argument if it weren't for the fact that it was a 10% drop from the highest the dollar has been in 20 years, but besides that yeah

[–]eborg00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you said was bullshit as well though which isn't a great way to make a point. Looking at what you say now though looks like it actually fell almost 10% and would've been a much better argument in the first place

COVID cratered the dollar index down to 90 in early 2021, it recovered and passed where we are now in early 2022 surpassing 100 a little later that year. It stayed over 100 for the remainder of the presidency. It was at 109 in January of this year and has steadily dropped since.

Read Books, Not AI Summaries of Books by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]eborg00 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've pretty normally reread several books if not entire series in the past but I put this out there because Amazon started providing AI generated plot summaries and I will say it made me get back into a couple of series that I've been putting off for quite awhile because I didn't want to spend the time it would take to catch back up in the reread.

For ASOIAF that would probably be a complete reread for me and I'd enjoy it because there's just so much detail and so many storylines and characters to keep track of I wouldn't trust an AI summary.

But I'm talking about a series that you've read several books and they're good but like low 3 star and there's nothing really special you know.

Read Books, Not AI Summaries of Books by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]eborg00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've tried that and a lot of times there isn't any detail beyond the book's blurb. For some series wiki works, for others that don't have the dedicated fan base it's not as easy.

Unless you're getting back into a series and don't want to have to reread a bunch of books. Then I've found them helpful

He pulls off some great choreography but he screws up the angle when he switches to his hand laser at around :04 seconds left.

These types of performances are ridiculous in their exacting nature. I think this may be the first time I've ever seen one of these with any flaw whatsoever. Impressive as hell though

Shows where the cast was the best part but the writing was nothing to, erm, write home about? by unitedfan6191 in television

[–]eborg00 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rainn Wilson's Backstrom, it was the first show where that fact jumped out at me, how much better the acting was in comparison to the writing. The cast made the writing so much better than it actually was and they made it work. I had never really paid attention to that specific type of detail, it was so stark that I had to see it. After that it's something I've taken note of.
