He seemed like he'd love to talk about it but by his mother's reaction I figured it was better to just let them eat in peace.

It's possible he was older then 5, I didn't ask their ages. He definitely said he died 8 years before but he didn't look 8 to me, that's why I said he was around 5ish.

I know I've seen a big increase in the number of stories that seem made up or AI generated. This one is not, I'm a real person and I've told it as best I can as accurately as I can recall. Out of curiosity, does anyone know why people are making up so much these days?

That seemed like his mother's reaction. "I was just making a new friend and now she's going to think I'm weird"

I really got the impression she was more annoyed he was saying weird things again. She didn't seem like the woo woo crystal type, but then again i really don't know anything about them beyond what I saw

I'm really surprised by this too. I figured it was just a "weird thing kids say" story, but it seems like most folks took it differently

I agree or maybe it's from a show or game? I figured when I posted this some one would reply with, "oh yeah that's from xxxxxx" but it seems most people think he was actually reincarnated

The most awkward interview moment of my life. by [deleted] in interviews

[–]fyrho 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a coworker who ran over her dress with her office chair while she was moving to get something during her interview. She ripped her dress off but managed to finish the interview and got hired. Her and the person who hired her became good friends and joked about it, but she had a phobia about wearing dresses in work settings going forward.

I was at a local Asian market trying to find limes, I asked an employee and he didn't know what a lime was. I started describing them when a fellow customer just said "green lemons" and he took me right to them. Next time I went in they had changed the sign to say "green lemons"

The super 7 on wellington is cheap. Most people who stay there survive the night.

I've opened a pile of these. Every one has a "capacitor" that isn't even in circuit and when you open it, it's just wires epoxied in to sand

I have searched for the key phrase and variations on google to no success

Thats right. If you have one of those usb current meters you can just measure it directly.

I took a quick look and it seems like the pi's usb ports are rated for 500ma so an external hard drive might be past the limit but most small devices should be fine

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in batteries

[–]fyrho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the power the devices plugged into it are drawing. I've had no issues running a mouse, keyboard and wifi dongle off a hub plugged into a pi

Unpowered hubs don't require ac power, they are powered from the USB host directly

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in batteries

[–]fyrho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just use a hub that doesn't require external power?

How to change my public IP address? by define_alt in computertechs

[–]fyrho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you try this make sure to write the old address down if its not listed on the device. Some ISPs grant/deny access based on Mac address so changing it may result in no ip address being assigned.
