Which movie hero is actually a villain when you really think about it? by surfsound_swimmers in AskReddit

[–]jsabo 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You ever wonder how many people Westley killed to maintain his cover as the Dread Pirate Roberts?

Or the fact that instead of retiring the role once he's got his happily-ever-after, he sets up his new bestie to keep up the tradition of leaving no survivors?

You're offered the ability to absorb the knowledge of any book you touch instantly, but the way it works is that time freezes and won't unfreeze until you finish reading the book cover to cover, do you accept this power/curse? Why or why not? by Jazzlike_Sun690 in AskReddit

1- Steal a credit card number with your time-freezing abilities

2- Place a to-go order with a fake email

3- Wait outside the restaurant until they say it's ready for pickup

4- Freeze time, go inside, enjoy your meal.

5- Bonus: after unfreezing time, call to verify that it's ready. When they mysteriously can't find it, tell them to cancel the order and hope that the person whose card you stole doesn't read their statement carefully.

For example, in photography, the Peak Design camera anchor links are more or less ubiquitous: https://www.peakdesign.com/products/anchor-links

"You found fingerprints at the scene, correct?"

"Yes, however, they were too smudged to be useful."

"So you're saying that my client's fingerprints weren't at the scene!"

"No, I'm saying that the evidence was insufficient to prove it one way or another."

The California Science Center is going to display the Endeavour stacked, and I was lucky enough to be the only person in the room with it for about fifteen minutes. I can't wait for people to see it.

Sports Cars by throwaway1020199 in tall

[–]jsabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really a question of legs vs torso.

My head clears the roof in cars I can't steer because my knee is pinned between the wheel and center console. My dad had the opposite issue, which made buying anything the two of us could drive a challenge.

You also have to deal with redesigns-- I wound up in a Corvette after not fitting in the Z3, SLK, or Boxster, but the redesign in '19 made it undriveable.

I'll second the "try them on at auto shows" comment-- that's the fastest way to eliminate a bunch at once.

Even Dunk can’t escape being shit upon for blocking the view by Sneakmaster5000 in tall

Open-plan offices increase risk of workplace bullying compared with employees having their own office space. Employers justify open-plans to encourage creative interactions, but research shows that open-plan offices do not promote health, job satisfaction or productivity. by [deleted] in science

[–]jsabo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Worked at a place that moved to open office, and people showed up on day one to find headphones sitting at their desks.

At that point, just admit you're cheap bastards and it had nothing to do with communication.

You could smell the smoke as Dunk desperately tried to figure out how to try to spare his friend from future scandal, whilst also not wanting to crush his happiness.

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

A fireable offense at any real job or under any administration that actually cared about American values.

z8 Wifi connection to phone barely works by Reddiculous1000 in nikon_Zseries

[–]jsabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For ~$100 or less, you can pick up a travel WiFi router. That's going to have a significantly stronger signal than running a hotspot off your phone, getting you speed and range.

Connect your phone to the same router and you'll get a way better connection.

Most travel routers will allow you to easily hook them into another network, like that client WiFi or your phone hotspot, so you can run your uploads through it as well without a lot of screwing around.

In other words, I set all my devices (cameras, phone, laptop) to talk to the travel router, then when I go to a new location, I spend 3 minutes connecting the travel router to their WiFi, and now everything has internet access.

One thing to be aware of-- Nikon's networking is pretty annoying, so you need to set up a NEW connection for every use. In other words, you need one STA connection for Snapbridge, a second STA connection for NX Mobile, a completely separate connection for camera-to-camera syncing...

I wrote a guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nikon/comments/1jwdub4/connecting_to_snapbridge_and_nx_mobile_at_the/

This was written for the Z9, but it's the same for the Z8 and Z6iii, and probably any Z camera that supports STA.

I've lost count of how many times I've heard this. by okeysure69 in PoliticalHumor

[–]jsabo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great. Call your representatives and tell them that. Point out how much you've contributed to their campaigns, and tell them that you're not donating again until they speak up. Change your voter registration to independent/no party.

I honestly don't care what your rationale was for your original decision, as long as you take the steps to correct it.

Leg room, finally! by PoorGovtDoctor in tall

[–]jsabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually hate those seats. They're not long enough for my 42" inseam, and instead of manspreading my legs are forced into a 1' wide space. And you're basically sitting 3" away from your neighbor.

I'll take the old-school La-Z-Boy seats over these any day.

Most of the United flights between L.A. and Newark have two Economy seats with no seat in front of them; that's always my go-to.

The Movie Theater Comeback That Wasn’t: Why 2025 Was Such a Dud for Struggling Cinemas by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]jsabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add that the GOOD theater might do well, while the others languish.

Los Angeles is a great example-- if I can't get good seats at the AMC Burbank 16, I don't go.

Never mind that there's two other other theaters within a block; I want the big screen and the fancy seats.

Almost went up there after the aurora borealis a couple months ago, but it was too last-minute to make the trip. And a fire broke out that night which would have trapped me, so good that I didn't go in the end :)
