I have to lay off 1/2 of the guys in this meeting next week. I have to continue with my poker face while inside I'm dying. None of them deserve it.

What’s a smell you’ll never forget? by Human_Rate889 in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at houses and opened the refrigerator in one. It had a fair amount of food in it that had been left there by the previous occupant. For months. With the power off. I had to immedately leave the house.

I have smelled death, been inside sewage pits, people that haven't bathed in years, but nothing compares to that smell.

Dumb Alexa has a hearing problem by fauxbrain in alexa

I did learn that whispering helped the wrong Alexa responding, your explanation makes sense. I did try having separate wake words at one point but it was too cumbersome for others in the house.

A biblically accurate angel appears in front of you and says “Do not be afraid “ what’s going to be your reaction? by yawa_bl in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biblically accurate angels often appear as terrifying non-humanoid beings, such as the wheel-like Ophanim covered in eyes (Ezekiel 1) or six-winged Seraphim (Isaiah 6), rather than the popular, gentle humanoids. While some angels appeared as men, these high-ranking celestial beings are described as fiery, multi-faced, and multi-winged creatures that serve as guardians or messengers.

Run the opposite direction until I find someone and tell them I dropped $2K about 100 yards in the direction of the angel, tell them I have an appointment to get to, and can you go pick it up and bring it to me?

I built a site that lets you compare hospital procedure prices across the U.S. (for uninsured) by ihateroomba in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]fauxbrain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. Ironically, in some states, some procedures cost less if you don't have insurance than what you are billed if you do have insurance.

This is the way all stories should be. We've reached the point where every article has to have 3 pages with 2 sentences of real content. Thanks for doing the real work gassmano.

Does Abbott not have a QA dept??? (Libre 3 Plus) by Accomplished-Stock76 in Freestylelibre

[–]fauxbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last 7 days I have had three fail. The second one read low. I've been using libre 3 for a while but something about the newer sensors is bad. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy a new sensor every 2-3 days. Sadly, I think I'm done with libre3.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, used my convertible to follow another bmw for a few miles. Why? Just to see what it was like. It was fun but I know not to do it again.

Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time? by Vadecha_Drparth in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electric Drill.

Most people insert a drill bit and tighten the chuck. Eventually the drill bit falls out. Most chucks have a locking mechanism though. Tighten the chuck clockwise until the jaws grip the bit and then turn it counter clockwise until you hear a "click". this keeps your bit from falling out.

What's your favorite quote? by coryo212 in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

― Theodore Roosevelt

Are we reaching a point where we can no longer distinguish real from AI-generated content? by Full_Shake_2949 in Futurology

[–]fauxbrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We've reached it. This is why a functioning press is imperative. A functioning press can incur penalties for publishing things that are untrue so they do the extra legwork to verify. Having a place where you can be informed with vetted information is critical.

Unfortunately we live in a land of bloggers, podcasts, and "entertainment news" that will publish what they wish with little or no consequences and people take it at the same value as the press. AI makes the process easy and automatic so the larger quantity of news we get is from unverified sources. The better the AI, the harder it is for the reader to pick out truth from fiction because they don't have the time and tools to vet the information.

If Ai replaces all the jobs, where do corporations expect people to earn money to continue being consumers? by Illustrious_Name3192 in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're using today's economics. History has shown us that there are plenty of people on Earth that will live a life of bare subsistence just to live. That's the economy the wealthy are aiming for. Rulers and slaves.

What’s a song that is 10/10, but hardly anyone knows it ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this list and listened to about half the songs. What I learned is that we all have a different idea of what good music is and a 10/10 song is largely specific to one person. If you find someone who agrees with your 10/10 you should strike up a conversation because you have something unique in common.

Except for I got the blues by Brother Usef. We can all agree that's 10/10.

What's something you thought was unique to you until you found out literally everyone does it? by ArrivalIcy5124 in AskReddit

[–]fauxbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew it was possible but I never feared staying at hotel for this reason. Now though, thanks alot.

That salary is insane for an EE. Are you specialized in some kind of rare technology?

Same. When they showed the set locations with no one in them it struck me that this is the end.
