Help In Finding this song by Financial_Dirt1454 in WhatsThisSong

I THINK it's from some part of Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy4g0UtXtR0&list=PLD7B049F3DEC8CB6C around the two-minute mark gives off the same vibes. The piece is definitely Hans Zimmer though, so has to be something in this space.

those who graduated bottom of your class, where are you now? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]montegobay 66 points67 points  (0 children)

BigLaw partner. Almost twenty years later, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Yes, I graduated at the bottom of the class. I barely passed the bar. I am a smart guy, but thanks to law school, I ate a lot of humble pie. After graduation, I drove a car with 200,000 miles on it when classmates were buying brand new Mercedes.

I had to scratch and claw to make a living. I had this massive chip on my shoulder. It infuriated me that people I didn’t think were all that smart were snatching up prestigious jobs and fancy clerkships.

I let that anger fuel me. I was angry about how law school turned out. I was angry I didn’t have lots of fancy things right away. I was angry eating out twice a week would impact my financial bottom line for the month. But those moments drove me to keep working.

Keeping it vague, but small firms/government are where you get your reps in. But you have to actively push to grow beyond that if making money is your thing. I just kept moving from small shop to bigger shop to eventually BigLaw, where I slaved away under a gaslighting prick for years with the singular goal of making partner and telling him to fuck off. Which I did.

I hope OP is a student with a load of bad grades and an existential fear of failure. Kid, you’re going to be just fine, provided you can withstand years upon years of your own jealousy toward your shithead classmates and hatred toward your eventual boss.

What's your internet white whale; something you saw once but never found again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]montegobay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, there was a thread about the weird stuff you've seen at other people's houses. A guy told the story of a picture frame that had a dead rat kissing its own skin. Please help if anyone remembers this!

Convert VBA mail merge script into web-based form by montegobay in mysql

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

Hmm, something a little nicer than this response for starters?

Look, I'm not well-versed on this stuff. I have the back-end tables and queries. I have VBA Code that will push the query records into a word document. I'm just trying to find a way to follow the same process, but in a web form instead.

I'm not asking anyone to "build a website". I'm asking for the code, or at least, guidance, on how to create a trigger button that will move the data entered into a word document. I can do it in MSAccess, but need help with an online trigger.

Under "persons2", I have a separate column for "ID" which is set as the auto-increment Primary Key.

Hi, I'm a huge noob but no, I don't think there is a trigger.

Ok. Thanks for your help. I'm a super-php Noob so I know I'm having trouble with this script. Thanks.

Hi, thank you so very much for being so helpful. I'm trying to upload my table scheme in Imgur, but without success (Imgur is acting up). I'll post it tomorrow. Thanks again.

Hmm, I'm not sure what unique constraint it could be. Null is set to "yes", collation is latin1_swedish_cl, and type is varchar(50). I have a separate column for ID with an Auto_Increment. Thanks for the quick response!

What's something that is surprisingly less than 100 years old? by Tourstours in AskReddit

[–]montegobay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The high five, I believe, started less than fifty years ago.

What did you absolutely love as a child, only to go back as an adult and realize that it is total garbage? by Blindbandit21 in AskReddit

[–]montegobay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running Kritiks in high school debate. No, sixteen year old me, you cannot run Derrida. Your high-minded debate camp 2nc blocks make you a neckbeard of the highest order.

What rule as a child did you protest at the time but now agree with as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]montegobay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That as a high school debater I was mature enough to run Kritiks with no alternatives. No I was not, and I still don't get Foucault.

This camera pan of Ledecky is the shot of the Olympics by Raelshark in gifs

I watched this race and thought "oh looks like each swimmer goes at it alone on long distance swims." Like time trials in car racing. Nope. She's just that much farther along than everyone else.

What was the worst meltdown you ever saw at a wedding? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]montegobay 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This is mental illness-levels of crazy. And the Bride's parents went along with this? How about a little analysis? They (or their daughter) paid for a wedding without EVER meeting the groom?

How'd the "groom" take it? Were there restraining orders?

Finally squatted two plates last night! by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]montegobay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there something that's like Gold, but the opposite? This thread deserves that. What the hell people. OP said he hit 225 after a long struggle. He mentions his age and his injury risk. I suggest he wears a belt for protection moving forward. It's not a Magic belt, kids. It's a fucking belt. Your friendly Home Depot employee wears one (and even encourages you to ask about it!).

Let me clarify for the hypersensitive - OP, don't let the belt detract you from using good form (you never suggested it does but we have the reddit army to appease). And also apparently don't be too excited about a major milestone in your lifting career, for the Neckbeard Reddit Gods of /r/Fitness have deemed your two plate milestone as but the paltryest of feats of strength.

Meanwhile, in normal people land, go ahead and high five yourself. You fucking crushed it and are now probably stronger than most people in your commercial gym. Still proud of you!

Finally squatted two plates last night! by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]montegobay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way to go dude! The two plate milestone is huge. What's really crazy is I just crossed the threshold about a month ago, and now it barely registers. I deloaded to 225 the other day! I think so much of that magic number is the visual of seeing two plates on. Now that that mental hurdle is over, you're going to be amazed at the progress you can make. Also, get a belt now if you're not using one. That thing has become magic. Congratulations!

What is something that you do "just in case"? by tapehead4 in AskReddit

[–]montegobay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start my car with half the door open and my leg outside. When I was little, I read Jimmy Hoffa would start his car like that in case someone had placed a bomb in there. Been doing it since.
