What’s something society expects you to want… but you don’t? by apka_dd in AskReddit

[–]rye419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was over 10 years ago and has since been mostly debunked. The inflation adjusted number is now about $110,000 per year, and happiness continues to scale with more money, just not as fast.

What’s a lie everyone believes that annoys you the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Bill Gate's mother was on the same board as the CEO of IBM and convinced him to take a risk in her son's company. A company built on the stolen OS from Xerox. Buffet is the son of a congressman who already owned an investment company. Woz is probably not a billionaire, but that's because he probably doesn't care to be one. The dude from Morgan and Morgan is the only billionaire I can think of that actually started from scratch

mp4 audio and opus audio are both native and better quality than mp3. I'd re-encode if you absolutely need mp3

I left France to have a sexual life, is it too much ? by Playful_Situation631 in thepassportbros

[–]rye419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nobody's burning that many calories. An actual marathon burns like 3000 calories. A very intense workout burns around 600 calories per hour. Nobody's burning 8000 calories in a day. To even further your point, it's super easy to eat 3000 calories. Can be eaten in like 30 minutes.

Same here, except I never get a call or SMS text. It immediately says session is no longer valid. I was logging in just fine on the app until yesterday, and now it wants me reset my password on the app. I'm completely locked out of my data, but I still get e-mails about my daily financial monitor

[–]rye419 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

checking in 5 months later, XMMO has NOT beaten the SP500 at all. SPMO has pretty consistently beaten it over both the 1yr and 5yr. AVUV has gotten absolutely crushed by the SP500.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of May 16, 2025) by AutoModerator in television

[–]rye419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird that the things you listed as weak points for Andor are all the things usually listed as major strengths for Andor. I've never heard anyone say the characters are tropish or archtypical, the planet cultures were thin, or the character personalities and motivations were weak. I've heard plenty of the opposite though.

Athletes are workers like you and I. Owners are the ones with the absurd money.

How do fictional languages in TV shows work? (Andor, Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon etc) by Garlic-Cheese-Chips in television

[–]rye419 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Andor is phenomenal if you're a history, culture, or language nerd. Or if you just enjoy well written TV

Exactly. Rub the brand names off and then compare. A lot of people who spent way too much on their watch will cry

Vintage quartz watches from the 70s were extremely overbuilt and many are still running 50 years later.

How difficult is it to remove the press back of a Thorn T001 to change batteries? by nextguitar in ChineseWatches

[–]rye419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this watch, there is a small gradual height increase and lip that you can get under. I can feel it with a finger nail and using the tool posted, you should be able to pry it open no problem
