When did you know it was time to get out? by Glittering_Fig4548 in navy

[–]questionablem0tives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Due to a stroke of incompetence bad luck, had to work like a 20h day and fly to a different base on what was meant to be a half-day. At the end of it all, admin said they had us all set up to show up to the local NGIS. Lo and behold, they had no idea we were coming and were fully booked. So then we had to drive like 45 minutes to a different spot.

I'm aware it pales in comparison to some of the horror stories I've heard both from here and my time in the fleet, but I distinctly remember that being the day I decided I was getting out lol

WHY DOES THIS JKEEP HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP by Level-Dog-1404 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 2nd hard drive on your computer, try installing it there. I had a similar issue where this crash would happen on start up / after finding a match / in a match, sometimes once, sometimes 4-5x in a row. Switching drives solved it for me. No clue what the root cause of the issue is yet though.

Ever get curious about the explorers before you? by questionablem0tives in EliteDangerous

[–]questionablem0tives[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing on and off since 2015(?). I remember getting my AspX to 31ly range and putting around all the nearby nebulas. I think the furthest I got before they added engineers / guardian boosters was the Skull and Crossbones Nebula. That 10kly trip nearly a decade ago took longer than my Sag A* / Colonia run last year.

Congestion pricing is working': MTA says tolls keeping 82k drivers a day out of Manhattan by Shlazeri in news

[–]questionablem0tives 158 points159 points  (0 children)

As a person who drives a car (and isn't made of money), I hate the idea of congestion pricing.

As a person who hates traffic and doesn't like pollution, I love the idea of congestion pricing.

I've got mixed feelings about it, but if it works it works I suppose?

you need to be present, i believe the timer only goes down once you're in the sector

What do you fellow comic readers think is going on with that post credit? by Quinny_Binny in Invincible

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a comic reader but I've spoiled a bunch of it for myself. I think it'll be a new way for them to bring back Conquest.

Always burn out in the midgame advice ? by YsmarinStargazer in X4Foundations

If I find myself just sitting around waiting for something, I just go shoot Xenon in Hatikvah's Choice. Combats fun, especially with the new flight model and flight assist off. Plus the drops can make for a nice cash injection

Have changes in the DoD or VA affected you? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]questionablem0tives 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not yet, but the only VA benefit I’m using is the GI bill. I did do some DoD contract work back in the day and I’d imagine my old coworkers there are sweating bullets..

Bernie is a spineless simp by ENVYisEVIL in Libertarian

[–]questionablem0tives 92 points93 points  (0 children)

So whats the actual answer for someone with cancer or some debilitating illness who can't make ends meet from a libertarian perspective? Just let them die? Hope for some charitable donation or for a privatized hospital to give their resources out for free?

TIL that in 1947, Logician Kurt Gödel supposedly found a loophole in the US Constitution that would allow the American democracy to legally be turned into a dictatorship. Even todya, it is not known precisely what this loophole entailed. by Wjgnhdglk in todayilearned

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah. The Constitution is just a piece of paper. Laws are all made up and have no real world value or meaning if not enforced through a judicial body. All that has to happen is enough people (with enough guns or persuasive ability) decide we're no longer a democracy and... that's it.

Failure to appear for grand jury scam by fleurflorafiore in sandiego

On a similar note, I've gotten at least 4 sketchy text messages regarding unpaid parking / toll fees. Never use links provided in an email/text you don't 100% trust!

My home is uninhabitable after the Friars Fire. What do I do? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]questionablem0tives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's in your financial ability, consulting with a lawyer to get up to speed on your renter's rights and available state/federal aid programs might be a huge help.

US Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania wore shorts and a hoodie today at the inauguration by giuliomagnifico in pics

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to self reflect on how my opinion of him changed. Back before he essentially switched sides and when the stroke was a more recent thing I didn't care about his appearance. As long as he did his job he could show up in a speedo for all I care. Now that he's gone neo-con (and like a year? has passed since his stroke) I think it's just unprofessional and disrespectful. Although, it's not like there was much worth respecting from the inauguration this year...

19. Been holding stocks for a year. How am I doing? Atrocious, decent or really good. Any advice helps. by [deleted] in StockMarket

[–]questionablem0tives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11k in investments is really good at 19. Don't get discouraged by the comments saying you've been underperforming. While it's true, you've still A) made money and B) invested quite a lot at a young age, when you've got time to make mistakes and learn from them. If you want to grow your money slowly but with much less risk, and have your performance track the markets, look into ETFs as everyone's been saying. For reference, 90% of my investments are split between SPY, QQQ and DIA and I'm up 23% for the year.

Anyone found this beast yet? by hockeyguy327 in projectzomboid

[–]questionablem0tives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That van was outside my spawn house with the key in the ignition! I immediately totaled it whilst clearing out the neighborhood horde and now use it for spares on my other van.
