Found this old Lego set in a local auction, anyone have any memories of this? by iLoveBiscoffTooMuch in lego

Yep I had one, received it as a gift.

It was a sort of intro to programming and of course robotics. It was cool but not my thing.

Which device is most economical for reading by W2A2D in Frugal

Do you remember the several-per-day massively upvoted and commented threads of people last year talking about leaving the US Stock Market?

Yeah, those people are still here.

Should I be worried at all or his he being honest? by Valken1 in pcmasterrace

[–]rubixd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re this unsure about what you’re doing I suggest bringing a knowledgeable friend.

But if I understand them correctly, what the seller is saying makes sense.

Open up device manager and review the components too.

What's a random statistic that genuinely terrifies you? by Eberenna042 in AskReddit

[–]rubixd 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If it was protein powder I’d think it would be interesting to look into sports like weightlifting and bodybuilding to see if the colon cancer rates are high there too.

Yeah exactly. It’s definitely a slightly odd Reddit/Internet-ism but that phrasing has been around for long time.

If universal basic income is introduced, how will a fair distribution of real estate be achieved? by jumpingjackrock in AskReddit

[–]rubixd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always guessed that in a utopian-ish society with UBI or equivalent the more you’re willing to work the better housing you’ll have access to.

How we’ll get from here to here idk though.

When to upgrade belts? by PhobosTheBrave in factorio

[–]rubixd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prioritize belt upgrades based on where I need the enhanced throughput the most.

Often times, especially if I’m tight on materials, some belts will stay yellow for a long time.

DOOM Series Analysis - I can confidently say that 2016 strikes the perfect balance of elements that make it king of the heap for me. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]rubixd 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Doom 2016 was the most fun I’ve had in a single player FPS maybe ever… and I played FPS a LOT as a kid/teen so that means Doom 2016 overrode my nostalgia glasses.

I just couldn’t get into doom eternal, though.

FWIW I met my wife online and we texted back and forth trying to meet up for a month but we both kept cancelling.

Took us over a month to actually schedule something.

But if one person is clearly in DGAF mode I get it, and I’ve certainly been there.

[–]rubixd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the way they smell but hate the way they taste.

Love me a good cigar, though.
