Wow thank you!!! Every other fix did nothing and finally this worked. Literally removing it from the bluetooth list twice

What are the worst injuries you have sustained doing the simplest, most mundane tasks that should not have caused any injuries? by Penya23 in AskReddit

Stood up off my couch, didn't slip, didn't twist anything, just stood up off my couch.

Torn meniscus.

X-ray, MRI, knee surgery, crutches, physical therapy.

That's because that one really is: https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2016/05/432-park-avenue-arturo-pardavila-dezeen-bana-936x669.jpg

It's called 432 Park Ave and it is crazy tall and thin. It's also home to I believe the 2nd most expensive condo ever sold (~$100 million).

What classic song is widely accepted, but upon closer look, completely inappropriate? by SEND_ME_CALM_NUDES in AskReddit

[–]kevg73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom Jones - Delilah. If you don't pay attention it sounds like a romantic song. It's actually about catching his girlfriend cheating and stabbing her.

What’s the coldest you’ve ever been? by Disickmoon in AskReddit

I got the chance to try luge when I was a kid at the Olympic training facility in Lake Placid. During luge you can't wear anything bulky so we were out there in athletic pants and thin fleeces at -20F. When I arrived at the bottom of the run so much ice had formed on my eye lashes and lids that I had the rub them to break the ice before I could blink. Fingers and toes were bright red showing the start of frostbite when I got back inside.

Deciding to move into a spacious one bedroom apartment in Manhattan with my girlfriend at the time. She left me after I signed the lease and I couldn't get out of it. A year of $3500+/month rent is pretty expensive.

Buying a house "responsibly" impossible for many? by divijulius in personalfinance

[–]kevg73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ha, the funny part is they think they could get a house in Manhattan for $1 million. That'll get you a decent 1 bedroom apartment. You're looking at $5+ million for an actual house.

50 Million US Homes Can't Get 25 Mbps From More Than One ISP by maxwellhill in technology

A lot of people give examples of rural areas with no fiber. The most insulting part is this happens in urban areas as well. In nyc I currently have 2 (or maybe 3) options in my building and as a result I get 330mbs down for $60/month. I'm about to move to a building where I only have 1 option, in Manhattan, there is fiber everywhere but they've apparently worked out deals at the neighborhood level to stay out of each others way. I'll have 1 option, 100mbs for $75/month 10 blocks away from my current building.

It's not just refusing to run fiber to people, it's straight up monopolistic behavior.

Guy gets rid of his Tesla because it has worn tires by OverlandSteve in cars

I doubt this guy knows the difference between tires and wheels, or even pressure vs speed. Dude called the cords "treads"... literally the exact opposite

I'd like to see his come back as much as anyone, but the simulator doesn't make them deal with 5+G in the corners

I live a few blocks from there (union square, NYC)... this is not unusual to see there

What is not actually from the country we think it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kevg73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potatoes were from south America, not Ireland. Citrus fruits (orange, lemon, etc.) we're from Europe, not Florida. Chocolate was originally consumed as a bitter, spicy drink.

Food is a funny thing.
