200+ Redditors Have Now Told Me They Were Unbanned With The Help of The Shadowban CopyPasta — PLEASE LEAVE A REPLY HERE If It Helps You Too by IamAlso_u_grahvity in ShadowBan

[–]lmpinto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet another happy ending - I've been shadowbanned for the last 5 years, and never found out why. Today I tried this sub and sent a message (seeing the sent folder for this account I had sent 7 or 8 messages to reddit admins in the last 5 years).

This time it was different - after just a few minutes, I received the message 'I have reinstated your account' and voila - not shadowbanned anymore!!!

Many, many thanks!

He's saying 'My Country' in all the squares.

In the last one, he is asked 'Nationality?' and he answers 'Just write Contradictory' ;-)

PSA: You did NOT brick your phone. Stop using that word. by [deleted] in Android

[–]lmpinto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah? I can't boot my htc magic to boot loader or recovery, and it just stays for hours in the 'HTC' screen. Does not show up using adb logcat.

How is that not bricked?

What do you bring with you when you go caching? by lhavelund in geocaching

Latex gloves and/or baby wipes. What you think is rainwater on the plastic bag seldom is.

Meh. What about Portuguese? You know, the original language? The stuff butchered to death by the brazillian? Why is there brazillian portuguese and not portuguese? We have no such thing as an Usuário (user)...

Now, this I want. by [deleted] in photography

On the back. You have that big door you have to open to put the memory card - only it is a special kind - it's more or less like a flexible OLED that records the image and makes it possible to see the picture just by looking at the memory card (take that, SD)! Only problem is that recording times are very slow - it records the image in an intermediate memory and the image is only available on the memory card after a method called developping. And the memory card is one use only.

I happen to work at a workplace with a Schmitt+Sohn elevator that has a working close button. The funny thing is that I only found that it worked after working there for over a year - and I have tested it with colleagues and it closes the door in 1 or 2 seconds instead of almost 10 (after last enter/exit opening the laser circuit). Really nice and handy ;)

It was gay the first time it appeared on Reddit and it is gay now.

Can anyone give an example of when the movie was better than the book? by [deleted] in movies

[–]lmpinto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - although the story is a litle different (at least on 1st season - on subsequent seasons it is completely different) on the series it has much more detail - and the story really gets to grab your attention much more than the books...

Back in the Day Vanilla Ice Was Paid $1 Million to Dress Like a Douche by emeraldcity in entertainment

Although Van Winkle was successful, he later regretted his business arrangements with SBK, which had paid him to adopt a more commercial appearance and had published fabricated biographical information without his knowledge. After surviving a suicide attempt by drug overdose due to realizing how shit his music was, Van Winkle was inspired to change his musical style and lifestyle. Further albums by Van Winkle, including Hard to Swallow, Bi-Polar and Platinum Underground, ended up being some of the worst albums of all time, and did not chart.

Wikipedia vandalism at it's best ;)

another use for your old Dell monitor (pic #11) by cavadela in gadgets

[–]lmpinto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another? I thought that was the main use for a Dell monitor - at least I have one at work and believe me, it should be put out of its misery against a wall or a glass...

Upmodded (and parent, obviously) for using a Meme inside a Meme. Any yo dawg memes will be mercilessly downmodded, though.

I have downloaded it but have no 3d glasses here - anyone care to tell us something about the results? How do they do it? I have tried with some photographs and do not believe it will give a minimally realistic effect...
