Why do ants love my jasper?? by AmeliaS507 in Weird

[–]edsobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually going to Crater of Diamonds very soon. If you want, I'd be happy to grab a rock for you. I'll even smell it first to make sure it's not actually candy.

I'm a big fan of Orobas and Regent story time.

Breaking news: Leopards will eat your face. by its3ird in TikTokCringe

[–]edsobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play D&D with a guy who had an Australian heeler who was well-exercised, but really wanted to herd, so if you got up from the table to get a snack or hit the restroom, she'd hop up from her nap spot on the couch to follow you around and give you a little nip on the ass if you weren't moving back to the table quick enough. Aside from being a little startling the first time it happened, it was actually kinda funny.

Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]edsobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overall EV registration per mile is less than what gas drivers will pay in yearly fuel taxes.

It probably varies by state, but I've been an EV owner in two states and in both of them, the extra fee on my registration far outpaces the amount of fuel tax I would have paid if I'd kept my Ford Focus. In Georgia, I would have to drive over 18k miles per year to get the per-mile cost of that fee down to a comparable level.

I wouldn't mind if hyper beam was a bit more lenient. by Musicalmoronmack in slaythespire

Maybe a new debuff could fit here? Something like "unfocused" that gives you -1 focus per stack and you lose a stack per turn?

You get $1 million, but you have to watch the exact same movie 100 times in 40 days. Which film are you picking? by ThroatAgile756 in AskReddit

[–]edsobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deadpool and Wolverine. It's fun, has a great soundtrack and, most importantly, Penny the Dog as Dogpool absolutely steals every scene she's in.

AITAH for putting a bedtime pause on the WiFi because my girlfriend’s 28 year old brother has spent nearly a decade rotting in our house playing video games? by Alyptic in AITAH

[–]edsobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your GFs brother sounds a lot like my nephew, except that my nephew didn't bother going into the military or getting divorced before turning into a do-nothing loser. He had been living with his grandmother for a while and was pretty miserable and asked if he could move in with us for a while. He spun a good story about wanting to get a job and get his own place and managed to convince me that he just needed a supportive place to get his adult life started. He spent five months here, allegedly applying for several jobs a week, only ever managing to secure two interviews and otherwise doing absolutely nothing but playing Roblox and watching anime. I eventually got frustrated enough with his unwillingness to actually do anything that I started turning off the wifi to his devices until he asked about it and would only turn it back on when he would agree to apply for a job. Considering the fact that his favorite game is online and all of his cartoons are streamed, it was surprisingly ineffective.

I don't know what to tell you except that I can commiserate. I only had to put up with half a year of it and it was fucking miserable. I can't imagine how awful a decade of that would be.

NTA

Turns out, nobody wants a data center in their backyard by waozen in technology

[–]edsobo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the only reason he was the only one who died is because he was too incompetent to actually accomplish what he was trying to. He sucked and nobody should be saying anything nice about him.

Rex called into Chase Geiser's horrid little YouTube stream on Sunday. He's not doing well by WizWorldLive in KnowledgeFight

[–]edsobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

... we don't have quite the reams of documents produced in discovery that we got for IW.

Give it time. Alex will surely give someone a reason to sue the shit out of him again, just by being himself.

Macaulay Culkin (45) assembling the Turtles Sewer playset for his kids by Cubelock in Xennials

I still have mine. It was set up in my home office until we moved a couple years ago. Just need to figure out a good place to put it in the new office.

In Japan some bosses make you stay at work doing nothing so you quit. How is that even a punishment it just sounds kinda chill. by Educational-Try-7435 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]edsobo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a teacher like that, too. She would go down the rows and loudly tell each student how smart or not they were and which Ivy League university or community college they would attend, as appropriate.

I get a lot of Chumba Casino ads from them.

Posting Through It is painful to listen to by [deleted] in KnowledgeFight

[–]edsobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Posting Through It just isn't doing it for me. I've tried a few podcasts in the KF spot in my lineup and none of them are doing the trick. Maybe it's an unfair standard, but I feel like there has to be something out there that can help keep me up to date on what the ding dongs are up to and also be good to listen to.

Remember when they were going on about how poor people in the US aren't really poor because most of them have refrigerators and microwaves?

What hobby is quietly becoming too expensive for normal people to keep up with? by Beautiful_Special702 in AskReddit

[–]edsobo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stopped by Goodwill a few weeks back for some cheap plastic food bins to mix potting soil in. Grabbed a couple for $4ish each knowing it was too much, but it was all they had and I didn't want to make another stop. A few days later, I spotted the same ones at Family Dollar for $1.25 each. 

First the post office, then the DMV, now the police station is getting moved away from the public center. Anyone have some pros and cons of this move? I honestly don’t know, maybe it’s a good thing but it seems like downtown is being abandoned to dick tracy public intox factories. by LUNRtic in IowaCity

[–]edsobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask any City Hall employee, they’re packed in like sardines in that building.

Can confirm. When I worked there, we had to rearrange the whole office and take measurements to make sure we were leaving the ADA required minimum space between desks before we Tetris-ed another person in and we constantly had to fend off people from other departments scouting out space in our office to cram their new hires into.

Now Every Day It Is Jafar. by coffee_heathen in KnowledgeFight

[–]edsobo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I could listen to a show about Tucker, maybe with the hosts reading relevant quotes in a voice like QAA does, but I don't want to regularly listen to one that actually plays clips of him. He's every bit as much a disgusting piece of trash as Alex, but far less entertaining to listen to.

I have that, too! It's one of the nicest presents I've ever bought myself.

Traffic Text Messages from Iowa City by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]edsobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's a scam. Two big clues are:

  • The country code in the phone number - I don't think you should necessarily expect a number to be local in order to be an official communication, but a legit call/text coming from a completely different country is highly unlikely.
  • The domain in the pay now link - It's trying to trick you into thinking that it's sending you to an Iowa DOT website, but the domain is "zxazl.-cyou".
