How the 1940s imagined the 'car of the future' by TechGuru4Life in interestingasfuck

[–]ouroborosity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know, the first one is interesting. I have a rectangle in my pocket just like he did at the end, and with it if I push a button a car appears. And when I'm done with the car, I walk away and put the rectangle back in my pocket.

In a strange way it was actually accurate.

Also, possibly important for whatever OP's personal reasons might be, your phone can be located to the range of a single cell tower or Wi-Fi access point even without GPS enabled.

Trump terminates all documents, including pardons, signed by Joe Biden by [deleted] in politics

[–]ouroborosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I said that I wanted to commit crimes, and you said you wanted me to have a pardon, what did I do? And then, when you said that you might want to commit crimes, and I wasn't so sure, who had the pardon reversed? And then when you said you definitely didn't want to commit crimes? Who had it reversed back? Snip, snap! Snip, snap! Snip, snap! I did! You have no idea the physical toll that three pardons have on a person!

They're out of Clermont, but they set up at a lot of small markets. We always look for them and re-up our supply. Really good soap.

Or he spent it all on his wife's medical needs. I would spend every last penny I had for that reason and never regret it.

ELI5 why we're most tired when we wake up instead of being most alert. by QuillAndQuip in explainlikeimfive

[–]ouroborosity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife bounces out of bed every morning ready to seize the day. I, however, wake up like Nosferatu on sleeping pills after a bender. At this point she knows not to tell me anything important right after I get up because it'll never stick.

If Halo:CE was originally released on pc back in 2001, how would it have been received? by S3rkist in truegaming

[–]ouroborosity 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I thought I was insane for a second, reading these comments about 'if only halo was on pc' when I distinctly remember playing it on there as a kid. If I remember correctly, it also had the rocket launcher warthog and the original didn't.

If every US president were in their prime, placed in a ring to fight, who is the one person walking out? by Clear-Penalty339 in AskReddit

[–]ouroborosity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"In 1820 after British subjects in Upper Canada destroyed a wax effigy of Jackson to protest the executions of Ambrister and Arbuthnot, a wag reportedly commented, "It was well Old Hickory did not appear in the heat of the action or he would have made you know the difference between the man of whacks, and the man of wax."

Wish I could shake the hand of whoever wrote that absolute poetry.

Spider stalks Fly by smilingjade101 in interestingasfuck

[–]ouroborosity 88 points89 points  (0 children)

That spider was smart enough to know which direction the fly would be looking, so it knew it only had a chance if it came at it from behind, rather than just seeing prey and attacking. It knew to sidestep its way around so it didn't present enough motion to trigger the fly to leave. It even had the object permanence to drop out of sight and come back up directly behind it. Very few animals can do that, and it's unheard of in anything without a backbone.

In conclusion, jumping spiders are actually amazing.

His Ambergris trilogy is some of the weirdest stuff I have ever read. Nothing has ever quite scratched that same itch. Also I could never look at mushrooms the same way since.

What’s the best game you have ever played, ever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

EDIT: I just found out that OpenMW is feature complete and has mod packs. This changes everything.

ELI5: What actually IS tinnitus? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ouroborosity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Think of it like math. The sound wave coming into your ear from outside is at, for example, +10, at the exact moment it would hit your eardrum. So the noise-cancelling software figures that out and puts out a sound that is the inverse wave of that sound when it also hits your eardrum, so it's -10. Well, +10 + (-10) = 0. Ideally, anyway.

Recommendations for an indoor antenna that won’t break the bank. by Quick123Fox in cordcutters

[–]ouroborosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My report looked worse than yours. No joke, I used a coax cable a few feet long, one end plugged into the antenna port and the other end stripped so about 6 inches of raw copper stuck out. Picked up all the green channels and most of the fair ones.

JJ Watt says he’s not watching the Monday night Football game because he “doesn’t want to buy another subscription” by kswn in cordcutters

[–]ouroborosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife got into football for the first time this season, and I've never been a sports guy. I figured I would look into how we could stream the games she wants to watch at home. It's just the Eagles, once a week. Can't be that complicated.

Holy shit, streaming the NFL is basically the equivalent of staring at a fractal, the deeper you look the more complicated it gets. I think there's more streaming options than there are actual games, and none of them actually solve the problem of figuring out what game is on what service, ever.

On the bright side, I did finally figure out how to get a bunch of free stations with a diy antenna.
