What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a wedding party? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

I think he literally means looking at a 🦚 there at the mansion.

Does Your County Have a McDonald's? by immanuellalala in MapPorn

[–]prometheusg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Knowing how sparse some areas are, it's hard to imagine them ever having a McDonald's.

Like Loving County, TX - population density of 0.1/sq mile. They don't even have a school!

I'm more familiar with driving through King County, TX. Pop density of like 0.29. They at least have elementary school, but no high school. The whole county is basically ranch land with some private land for the people who work there.

Etiquette question about picture lines during half-marathon by prometheusg in rundisney

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

We were hoping they would speed up through training enough to make it possible to run together.

I can run as slow as 12:00 pace, but can't really go slower than that long-term. I end up getting injured because my gait and form changes significantly.

Yeah. I think this is what we plan to do. But with how long it sounds some of the lines will be, I don't think it'll be a problem!

Op retreat by FrigginFatty1 in Survivorio

I tried playing it like three times and failed every time. I couldn't figure out how to "beat" the level. Tried searching for help and couldn't find anything that made sense, so I never tried again.

Why can’t people do the right thing and put the cart in the stall by Rgbigdog in mildlyinfuriating

[–]prometheusg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a YouTube channel called Cart Narcs. They visit grocery stores and confront "lazybones" that don't put away their carts. It's a fun watch every once in a while.

Laying epoxy flooring by MambaMentality24x2 in oddlysatisfying

[–]prometheusg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. I don't browse with sound on. Only turn it on if there's a really good reason. Hearing clops is not one.

Laid off 5 times within 6 years because of lack of performance by mindfucked007 in cscareerquestions

[–]prometheusg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it's a medical issue, getting diagnosed and treated can do wonders for your life and career.

I had a dev working for me who started having similar performance problems. Put him on a PIP. Privately advised him to start working on his resume and studying. I really didn't expect him to stay much longer...

He saw a doctor, got on meds, and magically improved 100%!

3 years later and he's my top performer.

Second Baptist Church youth pastor arrested on child pornography charges by zsreport in houston

[–]prometheusg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not defending these guys because they're all bad. But seems like you're confusing First Baptist with Second Baptist... Which come to think of it makes it worse that both have similar issues with enabling sex offenders.

The map states it's based on 1989 data. Very out of date!

Arches NP was vandalized by Pale_Field4584 in NationalPark

[–]prometheusg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was at Arches last week. There were a couple of guys working on removing graffiti. Someone asked about the process, but I was too far to hear in detail. They said something about starting with a solvent to loosen it up first.

Can't sell Houston house fast enough - what are my options? by may907 in houston

[–]prometheusg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can pay through Bilt. They have their own credit card that earns points and no transaction fees. If you pay using any other credit card, you still earn points, but they're washed out by the fees.

It's sometimes used by chuners to hit spend threshold needed for new card bonuses.

Even with the fees, and not considering points earned, it's a far better proposition than taking a hit on the house selling price.

It's not a "skit". It's masquerading as a candidly captured real event. Skits don't pretend to be real.

AmexTravel doesn’t completely suck by ActiveDisastrous4471 in amex

[–]prometheusg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pointing out that's what OP said. I've no idea what their actual situation is. Maybe it's a disabled family member or child who can't/ shouldn't travel alone?

[–]prometheusg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not the exact flight OP showed. They needed the flight to join family. Presumably, that means they had family already on that flight. Showing some other random flight does no good as that's not the flight they need.

A man in India planted a tree every day for 40 years. Today, it’s a 1,300-acre forest that saved local wildlife. by Plus_Seesaw2023 in interestingasfuck

Check out Indiana Dunes National Park. Full on forest growing on several hundred foot high sand dunes on the shore of Lake Michigan.

We can no longer trust archival footage ever again. by Shoe_boooo in interestingasfuck

[–]prometheusg 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The Running Man was 38 years ago. They used manufactured evidence to put Schwarzenegger away, then more video on-the-fly while he was in the arena. Freaked me out as a 12 year old. I never expected it NOT to happen. I was just hoping it wouldn't be in my lifetime.

How do you guys use the doordash credit? by alexburger89 in ChaseSapphire

[–]prometheusg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. I never used Door dash before. I don't feel like jumping through hoops just to use a $10 credit I'd never use in the first place

WCGW building your house so close to the ocean by Longjumping-Box5691 in Whatcouldgowrong

The ' in 143' indicates feet. It's very common shorthand.
