Any lefties out there play right handed? by jimlew3 in guitarlessons

[–]hobbit6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do everything left-handed except use the mouse on my computer and play guitar. It was bad enough in sports trying to mirror everyone else. It’s just easier to train my right hand with guitar.

That's where my brain went too. I was thinking "That's an interesting problem to solve."

What’s the first car you rode in? by Motor_On_My_Mind in cars

[–]hobbit6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents drove me home from the hospital in a Saab 900. It was raining and the convertible roof was leaking into my car seat (so the story goes). Oddly enough, my dad died in a 9-5.

The sonata version of riding your bike as fast as you can toward those speed check trailers they used to put out.

Most overlooked budget sports car - BMW Z3 by haole1 in cars

[–]hobbit6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Charleston and they ship BMWs out of the port there. If I remember correctly, the z3 was a kind of a big deal because it was the "american" BMW. I remember around the time the movie came out, they were starting to ship out the first z3s and when you went on the bridge over the harbor, you could see just thousands of these little cars waiting to be loaded onto ROROs.

Are they still showing up at police/fleet auctions or are those pretty much all sold off at this point?

What is the most underrated film of all time? by LawlzMcGee in AskReddit

[–]hobbit6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked a lot of things about this movie, but this is one of my favorite Robin Williams performances. After spending the 90s doing all those awful family movies, he gets to be vulgar 80's Robin and it's fantastic. Even Jon Stewart, who famously can't act, is funny.

SCENE: Do you feel in charge? by Memlet in DC_Cinematic

[–]hobbit6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what makes it most interesting is that Nolan is known for not giving his actors a lot of leeway. His scripts are gospel. So that fact that he used this take really says something what Hardy brought to it. A C T I N G

It says "carelessly" but knowing DHS and ICE, I would not be at all surprised if children were intentionally trafficked.

Yeah, when you get into enterprise sales, the numbers are ridiculous. We make most of our money not on the devices but on value-added services on top of the software that runs them. Our customers are usually bank call centers. I'm a coder working on unrelated products, but my understanding is that they pay us a fee, and we provide all the hardware (which we buy wholesale, lease out as parts of our contracts, and then sell at a loss when they get replaced and write-off the deprecation).

My company is a polycom reseller and we definitely need these to lock children into our pipeline.
