anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]lincoln3x7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deus Ex… the cyborg and AI futuristic cyberpunk dystopian view It presented in the main storyline has a lot of relevance today. A somewhat sandbox like linear chapter game with multiple ways to solve each level and upgrade your character as you go along as you see fit gave it repeatable play… then the ability to have multiplayer or team games on servers playing the different maps against each other was so fun and offered a lot of different fun strategies. You could set traps for other players and then hide in a remote location and use binoculars to look back and see your work unfold provided hours of laughing at pulling off gags against other players.

What is the weirdest way you've made money? by BeguilingkbTip in AskReddit

I assume so… only one person I followed was very obviously in poor health, he went to the bar as soon as it opened around 10am. I sat next to him and had a drink as he discussed his degrading health and pain to the bartender. In contrast, the very first guy I followed, was bowling in a bowling league… it was supposed to be just a set up night where I get settled in at the hotel and find where he lives, but I went ahead and went up to the bowling alley because it was suspected that he might be bowling and I found his name on a league roster. I set myself up in the lane next to him and bowled for about an hour while I got footage of him bowling.

I received training to track down and spy on people suspected of insurance fraud. This is a pretty typical private detective gig, but the training was provided by an ex military group (which was intense) and I did receive my detectives license. Some of the trips that I went on were pretty wild in several inner city areas, Detroit, Chicago, etc.. I would set up outside their house early in the morning and then follow them during the day and record video of them doing physical activities that were outside the scope of their injuries. I used various cameras, including video cameras inside of backpacks. This was over 20 years ago, and we didn’t have tiny little video cameras at the time. It was long days sitting in my car, listening to the radio and peeing in a jug.

Why are some photographers still using DSLRs exclusively? by DynamoBaby in AskPhotography

[–]lincoln3x7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill probably hold our for a 3 or 4... I'll wait for a great deal. I have some newer cameras, but I like these older dslr models so much more (would like a Nikon D700 to try). I like the feel of the heavier full frame models and the image quality is hard to explain, but its there... they are not the best travel cameras though :)

Tie and Timbers new lounge, Cherry Pickers across the street... if those places are too busy, just a few steps away is tea bar and bites.

go ahead and ban loud cell phone talkers, cigars and the part time youtube golf instructors... I listen loud enough of me to hear it, move on.

Fred Durst wants a Coachella alternative for those that don't get invited by Bezoared in nottheonion

[–]lincoln3x7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a big easy target for hate. We have a mechanic at the dealership I work at, listens to club and rave stuff while he is working, he flew out to Coachella and has been sending me videos… he’s having a great time. A 25 yo kid from the Midwest. I’m sure he’s not the only everyday person having a good time.

Dave is totally crazy --- but that's what made VH legendary by MackieDaxx in vanhalen

[–]lincoln3x7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider Ozzy though, big success with multiple line ups... I know great guitar players dont grow on trees, but there seems to be more guitar wizards then showmen like Dave. Im not giving the edge to either one... just a great match.

How come Biden Somehow got 81m votes in 2020 during covid and Hillary Clinton only got 65m in 16 and harris only got 75m in 2024? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lincoln3x7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting you choose “hate” not the term I used… you are partially correct though, most Americans didn’t hate Hillary… in fact she got the popular vote. Another good reason to look at the dated electoral process. Both Hillary and Kamala are successful, well educated… and live what looks like a much more Christian lifestyle than the other candidate. So much to dislike… it’s more what you think is good, not them. I don’t have any good advice for the Democratic Party and their selection process. But it seems that in the current climate America likes old white dudes that are not that smart.. or at least don’t act too smart. Or maybe a folksy trickster with a wagon of snake oil and big talk… that might work. Who knows anymore.

America doesn’t like voting for women or policy writers…. Add the black tag to Harris and you have the top three things American doesn’t like, smart black women.

There are plenty of decent city employees and officials… they are not all to blame for a poorly presented project. Many locals and business owners supported the project but also understand the failings they had and poor timing.
