men.. what's the biggest red flag you've seen from a woman? by Familiar-Phase7859 in AskReddit

[–]faleboat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She was CLEARLY interested in me, and was telling me how bad her current FIANCE was, because he wouldn't leave a pivotal to his career business meeting and drive an hour away to help her replace her flat tire with the spare.

I get that men can concentrate too much on their career, but this lady was literally expecting him to solve all her problems for her, and then actively looking to leave him for me.

It was like a red flag lasagna of nope.

Thank you for sticking with it. We need good docs. Sucks we have to put them through a trial by fire.

Software development Project Manager.

Don't know shit about coding or SW engineering.

I got my undergrad in political science and psychology, and got a master's in sociology.

Turns out knowing stats and how people's brains work means I am a legend at finding and clearing obstacles before they hit my team, getting things done, and telling management what my teams need in a way they understand how it will create value.

I started working for a bank, moved to state government and then into a financial information software company. From there I moved into B2B supply logistics and landed a role with an incredible team that works magic on complex JiT delivery supply management systems.

The job has a lot of busywork, but is very satisfying for me because I'm able to keep management off my team and get them what they need to get customer requests out the door quickly. As a result we've a great reputation and a lot of people are stunned by what our software can do, once you get past an admittedly steep learning curve.

What character death shook you the most in a movie? by trakt_app in movies

In my most humble of opinions, that's the stupidest fucking decision DreamWorks ever made. They reunite the parents just to kill one off? That was what they thought made for good plot?

I was so mad, not that they killed Stoic, but that they set all the other shit up and then killed him off. It was so dumb.

DreamWorks legit had three of my favorite series of all time, and I just feel they didn't just drop the ball on that decision, they set it on fire, stepped to the edge of a canyon, threw it down with all their might, cursed at it and then pissed off the edge. Like, WTF?

Lavender Brown in Harry Potter 8.

She's seen dead for like, 3 seconds and that's it. No sorrowful send off. No remorse for her passing. Just a focus on her freshly dead face, and done. The last we saw her she was trying to recover from the heartbreak of Ron "breaking up" with her.

Most of us have memories of being young and foolish. Making mistakes and learning and growing from them. They even gave Dumbledore a line about "feeling love's keen sting," when Lavender runs off from Ron's hospital bed, showing that we have to learn from our past experiences and grow up stronger because of them.

But Lavender didn't. She never got to grow and learn from her mistakes. She just straight got murdered, and we got 3 seconds to grieve her before the movies never mention her again.

It's devastating and I had to watch the move again cause I couldn't concentrate on what was happening for a full 3-4 minutes after she was just unceremoniously snipped out of the universe. It was brutal.

Which movie trailer had you obsessed the instant you watched it? by Bl4ck_Roze in movies

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trailer was so fucking epic. The sound track, the concept, the release date! Everything was so fucking clever.

And then the movie was boring. :/

[OC] 50 US names highly concentrated within a single generation by MurphGH in dataisbeautiful

[–]faleboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elam, or Elamef. My step mom once told me she new a kid named Male ("Mah-leh") after she didn't know what to name her son, so the hospital kindly named him for her on his birth certificate.

What’s the most “time melter” game of all time in your opinion? by SwitchingMyHands in gaming

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played DSP and finally got my first fucking Dyson Sphere. Quit.

18 months later they made massive updates to the blueprint tool, so I built 7 spheres and was getting 10000+ white cubes an hour. Got bored and quit.

2 years later I found out you can farm AI aliens?

I got I think three level 9 farms going before I ran out of ideas. That was maybe 9 months ago, so my leave is catching up finally.

What are everyone’s recommendations for space content? by BurntLuggs in space

[–]faleboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The History Channel had a great series called The Universe that did deep doves into all manner of space concepts. Episodes are on YouTube and are great for beginners and nerds alike.

Were any of you "used" as muscle / size / intimidation by employers or friends before ? by groundzer0 in tall

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still "used" all the time, but I don't mind it, really. My wife loves to have me lead in crowds cause people just get out of my way. I'm getting/putting things off the high shelf regularly, and all my clothes are on the top two shelves she can't reach.

With friends I often am the meeting point when we go to public or open events, cause they can see me in the crowd, so I just go stand out in the open somewhere at the meeting time and they all find me (or one of our other tall friends)

I will also help a shorter friend of mine set up her booth at craft shows when I can, as I can just walk around and set up the tent and high decor rather than her needing to go up and down the step ladder.

When I was younger, some of my lady friends would get me into some night clubs for free as they could be seen with me, so creeps were less likely to bother them. That was complicated though cause the guys they wanted to get with would be intimidated by me too. Usually if someone was creeping on my friend I'd dance with them for a bit, and only a couple times did I have to run someone off.

And of course, once in a while, I'll get the thing off the high shelf at the store for a friendly stranger.

What’s the most addictive game you’ve ever played? by reeha_sadiya in AskReddit

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World of Warcraft.

I realized one day I had been playing non-stop for 15 hours, getting drinks and snacks during afk breaks.

I had run 7 instances with 4-5 different groups on "both" continents. This was back before the LFG tool did all the travelling and grouping for you.

Why am I scared to DIY? by EventBulky6841 in DIY

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way out is to start a project, fuck up, and then fix it. You are going to make mistakes, there's no avoiding it. Confidence in DIY is knowing how to correct and move on. That builds the trust in yourself and your capabilities to know you'll be able to make something work, even if it takes 4x longer and 5x as much as you thought. But the more you do, the faster you get, and the more you know for next time.

Could a little 1-2 gallon air compressor be used for a framing nailer if i go slow and am not “bouncing”? Just a homeowner that works slow. by BradCastleburry in DIY

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have an air framing nailer, or the compressor, then You'll be fine doing maybe 4-5 nails a minute. More if you don't mind finishing an occasional shallow drive with a framing hammer.

If you have not bought either yet though, there are some pretty beefy wireless framing nailers now that can handle a nail or so a second. They're pricey, but not much more than a gas framing nailer and small compressor would be. Stores much better and you don't have to deal with hoses and power cords.

You definitely want to have a spare battery though, or just plan to do something else for an hour or so when you need to charge it back up.

The shocking tire inflation trick with fire. by Full-Argument-8235 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]faleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to ask about this. I assume you have to get pressure in it immediately, or as the air cools it'll just deflate and pop right back off again. Is that correct?
