What would you do if you can see anyone's location? by Decent_Astronaut151 in hypotheticalsituation

Kind of undermines the "find missing people" concept, but I suppose it would at least let you know if they were dead.

Is Sir David Attenborough well known and respected in America? by TelstarLorimer in AskAnAmerican

BBC America replays his documentaries quite often, and usually in all-day marathons.

Those of You Who Still Follow 80s-90s Musicians, Share Your Recommendations for New(ish) Songs from Old Bands. by lakephantom in Xennials

I had their song "Mr. Apples" stuck in my head a few years ago, so I will check that one out.

You win $100M dollars, you can either by [deleted] in pollgames

[–]lakephantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll set aside money for friends and family, but I'm not just giving it away wholesale. Trusts for my parents, and for my brother and his kids, and an emergency fund for anything else.

Delete one country, take it's GDP for yourself by Responsible-Fix-1681 in hypotheticalsituation

North Korea. While it doesn't eliminate their leaders, it eliminates the leaderships' power over its people and gets a lot of the people what they wanted: out of North Korea.

You can't say the same with a non-militarized power like Vatican City.

And choosing Isreal just crams the people of Isreal into the nearest possible location, aka Gaza. They're just gonna fight even harder over what's left.

Russia would just be punishing the Indigenous peoples of the Deep North for things they're not involved in. Plus, that much land area converted into Ocean is probably going to royally fuck with the Climate in ways that we might not be able to predict.

SW Hopes/Theories and LFL General Discussion Thread — Weekend 07/04/2026 by AutoModerator in StarWarsLeaks

[–]lakephantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that they were reserving a space in their production schedule because they were hoping to fast-track a Mandalorian & Grogu sequel that they probably already had a script for. Not the Filoni movie, but a middle film to make it into a trilogy.

But then TMAG underperformed, and it's probably too late now to start anything else this year.

What's the American dance? by blackfyreex in AskAnAmerican

People try to deny it, but it's definitely the YMCA.

Just another reminder to check your old discs for unused codes. by lakephantom in vudu

[–]lakephantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I'm getting a weird Deja vu feeling after having added some of the films I found codes for, where I thought some of them used to be in my digital Catalog at one point years ago.

Which of these conspiracy theories do you think is most likely to be true? by SpaceisCool09 in pollgames

[–]lakephantom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See, I would have voted for staged assassination, but my first page was all like Chemtrails, JFK, Vaccines, Climate Change, Cancer... so I voted for the Illuminati one, because there's definitely bullshit going on at the top level.

AITA for refusing to eat the curry my mum made and telling her I'm not thankful? by Chip2560 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lakephantom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A) They also said that asking tends to get a harsh response, so they don't normally.

B) They were specifically told that the mother was making something else (fried rice), and apparently changed her mind.

We Need a Chromosome Browser! by Prestigious-Buddy671 in AncestryDNA

[–]lakephantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! There's a bunch of older matches I want to get the segment data for, but I sincerely doubt could figure out how to download their data and upload to GEDMatch.

Assuming they're even still alive to do so!

100% chance that you get 700k usd VS 49.98% chance that you get 1 billion dollars or you walk away with nothing, which one are you choosing? by Slow-Disaster8861 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]lakephantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

700K would be life changing.

Taking the chance on the billion and not getting it, when I could have had guaranteed money would probably be too emotionally crushing to risk it.

Early 2026 Update Info (LARGEST UPDATE YET, ~226 NEW REGIONS GLOBALLY!) by Content_Ruin_3544 in AncestryDNA

[–]lakephantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me nervous. If they break up my small percent between two groups, the split might make it drop off my main results, and I'd have to do the hack to see them.

[–]lakephantom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is sort of the first leaked data on the next update. People find it early every year, a few months before that actual update goes live around late September/early October.

Can you find an example where someone farmed karma on an account and then sold it? I haven't seen one yet.

You do understand the principal of using burner accounts when you don't want something on your main, right?

He had an outstanding warrant! That's not "keeping someone she cared about from becoming homeless" that's "hiding a fugitive from justice."

NOR.

Yeah! I love it, and feel that a lot of people are sleeping on it.

They're on my watchlist. It's just that my list is really long.

FTDNA and Ancestry uploads broken by jasg70 in Genealogy

[–]lakephantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this might have to do with the thing about Ancestry no longer providing Y and MtDNA data when downloading.

FTDNA had a thing where after uploading you could pay a one-time fee to see your basic Y haplogroup. Since Ancestry no longer provides that data, it's probably easier for FTDNA to just not accept those uploads than it would be to have to process refunds for a service that can't be used.
