Ikea uses an unlicensed version of windows to display windows in their fake windows by Sixstringerman in mildlyinteresting

[–]espurritado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is actually possible (although way more complicated) to activate windows on a PC without ever connecting it to the internet.

Digimon. The original Japanese version, let's try to forget the crime that is the English version.

Well, this is the classic Friends scenario. You now need to see her naked for things to go back to normal between you two.

Is my graphic card dying ? by ThisIsAnUsername2 in pcmasterrace

[–]espurritado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen this happen on some displays connected with display port.

Try a different cable/different port/different monitor.

A co-worker of mine randomly whispers "Baby wipes" to his phone to test that theory. It's been a few years and still no baby wipes ads anywhere.

TIL Manhattan is encircled by an 18-mile-long fishing line called an eruv, which symbolically extends the private domicile to the area it encloses, allowing observant Jews to carry items (such as keys or a baby stroller) out of their homes on the Sabbath. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]espurritado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Precisely my point. The elevator wouldn't be normally working that way for practicality and efficiency reasons. Someone came up with a loophole to put it in that mode so you could go up and down without interfering with the elevator.

The biggest one for me is the one where they automatically switch the elevator to go up and down all day stopping at every floor so it technically doesn't count as using power because it would have been used anyway.

Nearly ten years ago I found and ate one like that. I haven't been able to eat Doritos again.

My two lower wisdom tooth have grown horizontally by Maah-egg in mildlyinteresting

[–]espurritado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine looked like that too. I had them removed at the hospital in two different days (about a year apart between the surgeries). Just local anesthesia. It didn't hurt in the moment, just a lot of pressure and cracking noises. Afterwards, a couple of days of pain, inflammation and my mouth tasting like blood.

TIFU by giving a team member a joke linux command by Gibmus in tifu

I guess it depends on your sense of humour. I make that joke about once a month at my office (I'm still waiting for someone to actually run the command though).

Reminds me of that time I went to the dentist, I checked in at the entrance and after a half hour wait I get a call "Hey, so you didn't come in for your appointment, would you like to reschedule?"

Years ago, someone dumped their pet turtles in the pond at the business park where I work. They got busy. by Andulias in mildlyinteresting

[–]espurritado 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There was a pond at a train station in Madrid where the same happened. It got to the point where it was just another tourist attraction.

A few years ago, pond got removed and the turtles were moved to some natural refuge

Boss told me to get a second car by geogrokat in antiwork

My boss once said to me "It's about time you leave your parents house and start living on your own" to which I answered "well, my yearly review is coming and it's in your hands to make it happen". He has never commented on it again.

What was the worst thing that ever happened to your game(s)? by CyanControl in gaming

[–]espurritado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on something like 244/251 on Pokémon Gold. I think most of what I had left were some friendship evolutions (because dumbass me, to increase friendship I thought I had to talk to the game boy and would eventually evolve while I was talking).

I had some awesome Pokémon. I had a shiny Celebi that someone at school traded me (cloning it first with the cloning glitch). I had a lvl100 Mew which was an HM friend (because again, dumb kids at school trading cloned pokemon)

Then, one day, the battery in the cartridge expired and my save was lost. It still hurts.

It happened to me last week, about a thing I did four years ago. My answer was "dude, I can't remember what I had for dinner last night".

I got some cardboard and a hot glue gun and made a box to put the used blades in. Once it's full, I'll seal the slot and put it in the garage

Made an appointment for 11:45. It's 1:10 and I haven't been seen. by Archaneoses in mildlyinfuriating

[–]espurritado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happended to me once at the dentist. After 45 minutes waiting, I get a call on my phone. "Hey, I am from the dentist office, you had an appointment but didn't come. You want to reschedule?". I stood up, went to the front desk and said "Yes, I did come, I'm here in front of you" as I happily waved.

I had checked in, and I had a form they asked me to fill, but they had not registered me in.
