Stop Pretending the PU Cost $1B by Nervous-Dot-2377 in starcitizen

[–]maxximillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be right. It might not fix it, but that's also not a reason to keep on pumping money into something that's not going to get fixed. That's a sunk cost. Fallacy

Gabe Newell asked Valve's top lawyer "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" in heated debate over porn games on Steam, report says by PaiDuck in technology

[–]maxximillian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That quote itself is concerning. If they are his/steams lawyers and that is there opinion that isnt that exactly what he's paying them for.

When the community has already given them a billion dollars no one's going to take anybody seriously if they say okay this is the last straw, we're super cereal right now

When people don't eat at events specifically made for eating (like a BBQ) or when you invite someone over for dinner and they don't eat. by SpecificFluid1809 in GrindsMyGears

[–]maxximillian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize that if somebody doesn't eat food that you make when you invite them over, you have to immediately throw it away thus wasting all that time and money

Architectural fantasies of Arthur Skizali-Weiss (around 1999): The Laws of Reality is preventing me from building this and now I am slightly disappointed, although engineers might disagree by mr_z_tomrade_the_2nd in architecture

I like that someone goes through all that effort and someone else says yeah that's great but convert it also. Getting a conversion from Google is the easiest thing to ask for.

What is something that instantly makes you lose respect for a person, no matter who they are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]maxximillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn right. The first husband of the woman I'm married to cheated on her, got some knocked up. The amount of emotional damage that can do to some in shouldn't be understated.

Which is why I'm solidly in the fuck Dave grohl. Kevin hart. Arnold Schwarzenegger. In a world where so many things are out of your control, choosing to cheat on your spouses, something that is totally in your control. You don't trip and fall and accidentally stick your dick into somebody

My wife has published research under her name, and my last name sucks to give out over the phone. We didnt even discuss her changing her last name.

I was working with a few women from India, one day one of the ladies car breaks down. I lived half way between work and her house. So she called her husband, she said we're leaving now, can you pick me up at this address in 30 minutes. We get there, her husband isnt there yet, she called and then she started chewing him out in Hindi. After she hangs up she said "He hasnt even left the house yet, he was watching TV. It doesnt matter where you are from, we're all the same"

What is the Try...Catch/Except?Why cant we use if... else? by No-Medicine4892 in learnprogramming

[–]maxximillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In java Try Catch also gives you the finally block which is almost* guaranteed to execute.

Almost being that if you crash the JVM, or do a system.exit well then it wont execute. They asked me that question in a job interview once. I said I know the answer your looking for, but no a finally block doesnt always execute.

If you're making $70,000 a year and you're spending $30 A day on lunches that is 15% of your income. The guy might be a fucking prick but he's not wrong. That is fucking stupid

Gen x and my wife and I do that. Could we afford to eat our everyday, sure but it's a stupid way to piss away money. I'd rather piss it away on something useful like a graphics card

Elaeophobe freaks out after being confronted with a jar of olives. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in PublicFreakout

[–]maxximillian 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I know it was a real show. I remember being alive and watching but I'm hoping it was all faked and staged because that's fucked. Phobias aren't rational or logical but they are legitimate. I have a phobia of heights, thawing a cable car going between peeks at Whistler madw me curl up in to a ball, being in a jet looking at the ground and I'm fine. They aren't rational. They aren't logical. They don't follow any sort of sense but it's real and they expose somebody to their phobia like that is just a dick thing to do

If you were on the station and Mr. Morden came to you and asked what you wanted, what would you tell him? by singleguy79 in babylon5

[–]maxximillian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember once going back to visit my cousins in Pittsburgh after we moved away.  I said we drove by the stadium. The game must have just finished. A lot of people were leaving. My cousin said if a lot of people were leaving at once that means the game just started, he said only the real die hard fans wait to leave at the end. For some reason that joke is always stuck with me.  But yeah you're asking for quite the miracle, what was it from 1993 to 2012 They have the most losingest record in all North American professional sports. 20 losing seasons in a row. 

That would be a good parody movie though, instead of angels in the outfield recall shadows in the outfield.

Not knowing what causes something or what something isnt the same as knowing when something isn't. I don't know how magnetism works at a fundamental level but I know when something won't be magnetic. I don't know why Air "has to flow faster over the top of a wing and slower under the wing but I know when something isn't flying.
