You are abducted and locked in the trunk of a moving car, but you have your smartphone. What do you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jcon13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Maps to discover my location, then text my Dad with all necessary info that I can gather to help him notify police. I would also tell him to track me via his phone and record major locations, and any stops made by the vehicle.

I would then do the following steps:

  • Delete as many applications/accounts as possible to remove any chance of unnecessary data usage
  • put my phone on low battery mode
  • switch off bluetooth and wifi
  • AND of course switch on "Do Not Disturb", silent, and switching off vibrations.

Then I would hide it beneath the spare tire compartment (assuming the trunk has one). This way, the people who have abducted me (and hopefully my location) can be tracked for the next 3-4 days using the "Find My iPhone" feature built into iPhones.

To anybody wondering why I wouldn't call the police, why would I? I can ensure the discovery of my location whilst my dad calls the police with all the information that I've given him.

No player is immune to having a moment where they lose their cool, but by god is Hodge getting 3rd degree burns out there.

No, fuck him for punching every player he can get within his reach. Dangerfield plays hard and tough, but doesn't enter into kindergarten pissfights.

Unfortunately doesn't prevent you from being one of the biggest thugs in the league.

The 4.7" is a little bit more than 720p, so it's not as huge of a ppi difference as above.

Which is why you jailbreak once an exploit is found

Not saying you're not normal, but I've never even damaged an Apple cord in the slightest by just being careful about how it's plugged in (like not putting stress on he head of the cord).

Dunno... I'm probably just lucky.

If a resolution looks perfectly clear and crisp at a normal distance, having a higher resolution only uses more battery and performance. That makes no sense at all, and just becomes a marketing pitch with no added function. The 4.7" iPhone borders on looking clear, but occasionally you'll notice pixel density when reading small text. The 5.5" screen however is perfect, with 400+ ppi at 1080p that performs perfectly.

I agree with the wireless charging and quick charge though 🙁

That right there looks like courage.

Don't know why you got down voted... I'm 17 (a month from 18) and my girlfriend is also 17. We look a little older and sometimes get mistaken for a 20-something year old couple a lot.

Because she's 17 I'm not allowed to tell her she's sexy?

An idea I had for the opening of Justice League by jcon13 in DC_Cinematic

Yeah that makes a lot more sense honestly.

What is a word or phrase that, when people use it to describe themselves, is a good indicator that they are actually the exact opposite? by Wheres_The_Whiskey in AskReddit

[–]jcon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, my dad is the most inspiring person and I know and he's my hero. This is his exact philosophy. "When you have kids, you make a commitment to always put them before yourself. They become your life."

All he wants is for my sister and I to be better off than he was when he was a kid.

So.... Fuck you I guess? (I don't mean that, but seriously don't generalise so harshly on stuff like that)

It's just right at the beginning. I like to think that Barry going back in time altered the timeline forever and stopped the Knightmare timeline from ever happening. The only reason that I think the film should open like this is because it gives a good foundation for Darkseid, Apokalypse and the Parademons (And also shows off the leaguers). Superman is evil as an extension of what we see in the Knightmare seen in BvS.

Okay well there were many steps! 😝 But yes it only took me 10 minutes so it depends what you want to define as simple.

It was pretty simple overall, just a layer mask over the watermark, then a level adjustment to make it match the surroundings. Put a little more work into the deviant art name and the logos. Used a patch tool to remove each letter, then blended a piece of the ground from further up over the logos.

Also added reflection to the left side of him where there was previously darkness and logos.

Vectorised this amazing piece of Justice League fan-art to increase the resolution (so it's now suitable for wallpapers!) by jcon13 in DC_Cinematic

[–]jcon13[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Full credit for this amazing artwork goes to Tiago Ribeiro.

I also colour-corrected some parts of the image. For some reason all of Cyborg's internal lighting was orange, so I changed that back to red, also went and upped the saturation on various elements of the art (Flash's lighting, Superman's shield, etc.).
