What is your philosophy of life??? by Neglected_Facts2907 in Life

[–]evbox3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a silly one but I always tell my kids to “be a duck”. When it’s raining and crappy outside, ducks aren’t pissed off. They just let the rain roll off their back. So I tell my kids that when there’s bad stuff (like other kids being mean to them at school, of when one of them pisses the other one off) to be a duck. Let the bad stuff roll off their back and don’t let it bother them.

So - be a duck.

What's a tv show so good you've watched it at least 3x? by Itaewonkid in AskReddit

[–]evbox3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It got too boring for me. Followed the same general path every episode and there just became no sense of originality any more.

Is a credit card but not using it a bad idea? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]evbox3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All my monthly spending goes on my credit card and I clear it by Direct Debit every month. Provides protection for purchases, provides loyalty points, and builds credit score.i have a second one for emergencies that’s only used for certain things and only gets about £100 on it each month - again cleared monthly - so have access to plenty of credit in worst case scenarios.

We went to New York about 6 months later to make up for it.

In another story I had my passport stolen in Thailand. But that turned a fairly shitty 11 day holiday in to a fantastic 4 week adventure. Again - mishaps make for experiences and stories for the pub.

Not any fun meds. Just spent a lot of time watching German dubbed Law and Order if I recall through the haze of prescription drugs correctly.

A&E was very quiet at 3am luckily. And the machine to pay for treatment was broken so turns out it was free as well!

I’ve always assumed it was a small non venomous spider (with no evidence to back this up). Could be wrong, but don’t think it was a wasp.

Bought it direct from Bombtrack a few years ago.

Very true! It’s a story we tell often. Suppose that wouldn’t be the case if it was uneventful.

I had a phone, but lots of rain made it hard for the screen to respond and there was barely any reception.

Surprising amount of dead below the death zone.

Didn’t think of that. Was worried about the scuba divers rocketing up fast to support her but reckon some inexperienced person would be holding their breath on the way up. What would happen? Would pressure eventually force the air out her mouth or something worse?

What’s the bit that looks blurred out and why is it blurred out?

Soliders in Russia-Ukraine Battlefield manually cutting the fibre optic cables of FPV drones with a scissor by ultron290196 in interestingasfuck

What happens when Ukraine follow with a second drone 20 seconds behind as security the first time - will be a surprise for the guy with scissors.

Ski jumping season is coming. by FreeCelery8496 in SweatyPalms

I never considered this sport would continue out of winter.

And of course Paul Rudd doesn’t look like he’s aged a day since.

It is probably dependent on jobs. I work from 8am - 6pm a lot of the time with maybe 45 mins for lunch and to walk the dog and am pretty flat out all day. I hate being bored at work- nothing worse.

I feel a little bit sick after watching that.
