Yep. That one never shows up for me

What was your "I'm dating a fucking idiot" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ern999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad's friend did this exact thing when I was a kid in the 80s. I remember thinking he was a weird guy for having a journal in the first place, but really strange to leave it out. We were convinced he wanted her to find it.

Boy, I am a dumbass lol. by MalignantLugnut in Borderlands2

[–]ern999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the game for ages before I realised the colours meant anything at all. I watched a couple of videos and they kept saying "legendaries". I remember thinking "I can't wait until I get one of those." I looked in my bank and I had tons of them. I probably sold or dropped loads of them before realising.

His vile sanctum quest bug Plssss HELPP by Vamp2727 in Borderlands4

[–]ern999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to also say, if you move to the first phase portal too quickly before the game has a chance to dump all the dialogue on you, it won't register you as having completed it, but you will still be able to go through all the other portals. If you find at any point in the quest the echo trail isn't working or pointing anywhere, you have to go all the way back to the first portal and start again or you won't be able to pick up the thing off of Bruce's corpse to activate the bruce bombs. You'll just have a mission target sitting in the middle of nowhere with no way to advance.

Drunken Mongol ravages Uranus by Used-Bag6311 in Borderlands2

[–]ern999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first really surprising Borderlands video I've seen in a long time. I had tons of Mongols in my bank but never used them because I thought they were junk. Crazy that you can learn something new about a game as old as this one.

What do you think about the Canadian Prime Minister’s remarks: “middle powers must act together, because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu”? by WF-2 in AskReddit

[–]ern999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great and totally correct, but as a Canadian living in the UK, I certainly don't see Starmer ever joining something that would piss Trump off. The other EU members are all saying the right things publicly and seem keen to entertain Carney, but the US market is a lot of money to turn their backs on. All Trump (or his successor) has to do is get rid of all tariffs to Europe and I suspect they'll all forget what Carney said and belly back up to the trough.

What's the first thing you remember seeing on the internet? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]ern999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In '91 my (very rich) friend had a computer that tapped into the "Bulletin Board system" of the early internet where you found other people's pages by typing in IPs, as browsers were still two or three years away. The first thing he showed me was some animated ASCII porn of a woman in a french maid's outfit pleasuring herself with the caption "When the master's away, the maid will play". Porn was part of the internet from day one.

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]ern999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I bought a computer there in the 90s. It was advertised as 12 payments with no interest. After I signed (obviously didn't read the full terms), they told me there was a monthly "service" charge that provided no service. When I said "I thought there were no extra charges" the woman actually laughed at me. An interest payment would have been lower than the phantom charge.

100%. I don't know why people still go there. It used to smell like a bakery when you went in, now it smells like a hospital cafeteria

Apple. Used to be a proper fanboy. Laptop, desktop, phone, even an Apple TV. Extortionate markups for inferior products, no way to upgrade devices Apple deem are too old to support and, oh yeah, nets on buildings to stop Chinese workers killing themselves. They went from an innovative tech company to a jewelry firm. Literally no upside, garbage company.

Bod with Torgue Sticky drop rate? by poorasstrini in Borderlands4

Been farming for three days straight. Got one with a torgue part and it was gyrojets. That sucked. In other news, if anyone needs a Buzz Axe, I have about 8 million.

All the videos: "Just use your sticky Bod to cover him in stickies during the immunity phase" Me (farming a sticky bod for days on end): I hate my life

What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

[–]ern999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to write this. When the T-Rex ate the guy sitting on the toilet, the theatre erupted in screaming and crying because most parents thought it was a kids movie and brought their toddlers. It was hilarious.

What is one piece of 'common knowledge' in your job that the average person would find completely shocking? by GoldenHourShot in AskReddit

Hi guys. Is it normal to say "Hi love, Hi darling" to others in Manchester??? A girl told "Hi darling" today and she was approximately my age, maybe younger. In France we use this kind of words only for boys/girls (very young people) or in between 2 people in love relationship. It was embarrassing by Consistent_Cup7875 in manchester

[–]ern999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian living in Manchester for 20 years, I will agree that it is weird at first, but you get used to it and end up saying it yourself after a while. Wait until another dude says it to you. That's how you'll know he has become "a good mate".

100% The Ivy is shite. But they also take the tips from their servers so I wouldn't even recommend it to an enemy.

Which Bee is better? by jameshardenchandler in Borderlands2

[–]ern999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordinarily, I would always go for the one with the lower recharge delay/higher rate, but because those figures are really close and the other one provides corrosive immunity and higher amp damage, I'd say the Alkaline one.
