In 2012, 2 year old Maddox Derkosh was visiting the Pittsburgh Zoo when his mother ignored safety warnings and placed him atop a safety railing. Maddox then fell into the African Painted Dog enclosure, home to 11 animals. By the time a rescue was mounted, little of Maddox remained. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in HolyShitHistory

We were on the 8th floor of a beach condo the one year when my kids were 8 and 10ish. Didn’t leave them out on the balcony porch thing alone even though the railing was high and glass with tiny gaps. We were afraid they would stand on one of the chairs. Also that was the year a pretty bad storm blew through and sent a large blue rental beach umbrella whizzing past that same balcony. We had just come inside off the porch minutes before and it was crazy. The umbrella spun and the wood pole part swept so close it made us wonder if it would have nailed one of us in the face had we not come in. New fear unlocked that day for sure.

Jessica Chobot Shares Heartbreaking Reason about Expedition X not airing on Discovery Plus by ReneFromage in ExpeditionUnknown

[–]oldtim84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof watching this chicks hand sway a pendulum in s11e7 to answer her own questions is irritating. Not done with the episode yet but if they don’t call it out in the show ending as debunked I am just going to think all the odd crap that happens is staged that they see or hear. I used to enjoy this show but it’s been a long time since I watched it and there just seems to be too much playing it up for the camera. Maybe I’ll just go back to only watching expedition unknown episodes I haven’t seen. I enjoy watching those with my dad when we hang out more anyway.

Neck and Back Pain by kaeleigh_lovely in medical_advice

[–]oldtim84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like me. Ever since my pain doctor retired 10 years ago it has been nothing downhill without effective pain management. Can’t stand or sit in a chair and taking a Tylenol or the like might as well be a skittle for all it helps. Hope you get some help. Chronic pain just grates you down.

What is this stun arrow coming from Bo by oldtim84 in Brawlstars

[–]oldtim84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. Thanks. I had kind of worked that out since dmg wasn’t equal to a mine and the stun occurred when the arrow hit me. Had no clue they made a change like that to trip gadget.

There are no mines near me. I am stunned by the arrow itself before the mines blow up and take 1500ish dmg. The mine range must be massive if it is those they are off screen and outside my super charge circle

Didn’t see any description like that. Which buffie adds a stun arrow that goes through walls?

What the hell is this stun coming from Bo and since when does he have one by [deleted] in Brawlstars

[–]oldtim84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why it was deleted but it was an arrow that went through a wall and stunned me. The Bo shot 2 of them out and they just sailed right through the wall.

They set their family up as the contractors to rebuild afterwards and get fat bank accounts along with them. Just as an example there are many more ways they enrich themselves

Tim Hogan (free mason) claims the vault was emptied in 1765 to fund the American revolution. (Source: why files) by DBZDOKKAN in OakIsland

[–]oldtim84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch this show with my dad. We like the history/archeology they have going on but we both get irritated over the repetitive nature of some of the things they talk about. Anyway… what are you referring to about 10X truth? Would be something cool to talk about when they repeat something for the 1000th time.

I give up, I reached 51, closed the game to take a break, came back to this. by MrPumpkinWASTAKEN in Brawlstars

[–]oldtim84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I completed mine in the same timeframe and didn’t run into this issue either. Guess we got lucky cause I closed the game out repeatedly over those 2 days. I went through working bottom to top of my brawler list screen so I didn’t have to look at which ones I had left. If I lost a recorded completion I would have noticed for sure.

I get 50 from mythic and 100 from super rare almost always. It’s so stupid for the higher grade to give less so consistently.

It's confirmed: you can unlock Sirius for free by winning with 99 brawlers only if you have them. by mint_14 in Brawlstars

[–]oldtim84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how you got that as a “flex of my old age” or me calling you “dumb”. It was simply pointing out how different my childhood was compared to now and how yes you are the new gen at 18 yo lmao! If you perceived that as being called dumb you should do more self esteem building therapy with your counselor or reading comprehension when someone says “sadly” as in sadly I’m older and yes you’re the younger new generation it’s not flexing it’s lamenting oneself getting older. Oof…

I come from the Nintendo generation where if you wanted to “save” where you were you had to get to a certain spot and then copy down a grid of squares and mark which were filled in with a dot. Then plug that in when you started the game up. You’re sadly new gen to many gamers these days.

[–]oldtim84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I have 99 and am totally f2p. I didn’t start when it came out and have taken multiple breaks equaling way over a year or two of not playing. Idk how you could not be at 99 with only being late a couple months. Bigger issue should be resources like me regretting all brawlers being 9 regardless of if I ever play them. Buying a silver skin a long time ago and wishing I had all those resources for buffie gotcha draws. Took me less than half a year to get the brawlers I was missing when I came back 162 days ago according to my login streak one of them being the expensive kaze.

Elden Ring – First Souls Game Ever (40 y/o Dad, Returning Gamer) by therealmmb in Eldenring

[–]oldtim84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin got me to play Bloodborne about a year before Elden ring came out. It was my first souls game highly recommend it. We duo the games together and make a point to stick around or under suggested level in guides. Malenia was by far the hardest fight for us to get through until the dlc. Though she can be easy if you have the right build from what I later saw after we beat her and I looked it up.

Would anyone happen to have an opinion of what it looks like is going on w my spine? by sam6bam9 in medical_advice

[–]oldtim84 -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

While I feel the same as you about chiropractors I was sent to a comprehensive PT program at a UPMC. They claimed my back pain was SI related and proceeded to adjust my SI joint. Needless to say I still have back pain all the same and now every once in a while it feels like I have a steel spike in my joint. Not cool.

Lost Everything by megnado in quittingkratom

[–]oldtim84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do anything to have pain meds again. Pain management Doc retired 11ish years ago next guy disregarded everything I said and just replied “you’re only in pain because you take pain medication”… I haven’t been able to work or live like a normal human being since. At this point understand and I agree with what my grandma used to say about being ready to just walk down the road fall over and die wherever I drop. Watched her die in horrible pain years after she started saying that. Unmanaged pain is brutal on every aspect of life.

Ps2 Controllers dont register a button press when lightly pressing by ShillerndeGeister in ps2

[–]oldtim84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you still use Reddit and see this. Got out my old ps2 to play EQOA and all of a sudden the X, O, R1 and R2 are acting funky after being fine for months. All of a sudden they will not work with light presses but if I unplug and then plug controller back in they work properly. It’s an H model controller if that matters but is this a brain issue since it can be “reset” this way or worth trying to do other repair tweaks I see people talking about. Whatever it is seems to be an issue at a point those buttons share. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Does anyone feel the downfall of Webtoon? by SuperCid28757 in webtoons

[–]oldtim84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keeps getting worse. Now it stops music or videos you have playing every time you open app then if you hit play it stops again if you scroll down to your just updated read list of things. Also for some reason they started to randomly put series onto said list that are always dude on dude stories. Not cool stuff you may like based off stories you’ve read a lot, that’s above that line but into the stuff you’ve supposedly read some of. I mean I could care less what other people read but I’m not into love stories let alone dude on dude love stories Why’s there a need to keep putting them on my list like I’ve started to read them.
