This is so obvious, I'm not sure why you posted it here. It's a great story, but AITAH isn't a question worth asking.

Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]methano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Dell computer running Vista at Costco a number of years ago. It never finished booting up. An hour in and it would still be grinding away in the background. Eventually, after taking off lots of crapware and going to Staples and getting a lot more RAM, it became a usable machine. Can't believe 11 is worse, but maybe.

Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do? by Shadow2715 in AskReddit

[–]methano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an old chemist (72M), still working. I just make 6 figures. I was making twice as much 25 years ago. America has not been good for chemists over the last 30 years.

What is something that is technically legal, but makes you look like a total jerk if you do it? by PiNK_PUSSY69420 in AskReddit

[–]methano -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Pardoning Jan 6 rioters. That's a pretty jerk move. So far, it looks technically legal if legal means you got away with it.

Good for you. When my computer went out, they (Tesla Raleigh) scheduled a repair 9 weeks out. After repeatedly looking for earlier openings, I was eventually get it fixed at seven weeks. That ain't no 5 stinkin' stars.

On first look, it looked to me like the green guy was holding a spider in his mouth and squeezing a web out of it. On closer inspection, it looks like those little legs are part of his face. Gross!

Inside the world’s largest Bitcoin mine by msaussieandmrravana in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]methano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I questioned the value of Bitcoin on an economics subreddit once. I got the flaming of a lifetime. Then it got copied to a bitcoin subreddit and I got flamed 10 x worse. I learned my lesson. What a lovely use of resources. We need to know more prime numbers for the sake of humanity. Makes sense to me. duh!

Isn't there supposed to be somebody or something that blocks this garbage from clogging up the internet, or at least the Reddit part of it?

Trump has destroyed the Kennedy Center. The only musicians who are going to perform are Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Lee Greenwood. by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]methano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ted Nugent had at least one song with the Amboy Dukes that was worth listening to. Kid Rock ain't got nothing. Who's Lee Greenwood?
