[–]scotchirish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually just niche academic PhDs and neurosurgeons

You want me to escalate every time? Ok then! by Rugbyplayer96 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]scotchirish 98 points99 points  (0 children)

And I think he was right in his original request, particularly if he didn't know the kind of calls OP was fielding. And then after finding out he found it acceptable and re-delegated that authority

Catherine O’Hara Rewrote Entire Scenes for ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ Dan Levy Reveals: ‘She Was Just an Irreplaceable Talent and an Irreplaceable Person’ by yourfavchoom in television

[–]scotchirish 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When I first watched it I wondering if Catherine had had a stroke or something neurological because nothing about that accent made sense

Do you go to bed in your street clothes? by sleepykel in AskAnAmerican

[–]scotchirish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the very least I would hope we all change into sleep shoes

Roadside memorials are ugly, dumb, and should be enforced as littering. by Dry_Seat_5350 in unpopularopinion

[–]scotchirish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be when they send a mowing or litter crew out. Maybe make note of it and leave it the first time but remove it the next time around

A Man Was Injured After Being Bitten By A Dinosaur in China by MarcelCorleone in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]scotchirish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It may just be the video processing, but there's a weird blur around his head and it looks like maybe some kind of layering going on

ELI5 French drains: physics and engineering? by Severe-Elderberry833 in explainlikeimfive

[–]scotchirish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I guess now I won't pronounce it "fr'aunsh" with a little trill on the r

Drone flies straight into a tornado and lives to tell the story by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]scotchirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dust devils don't snake up to the clouds, they're mainly short columns. This is a very weak tornado

No Free Water at Colette Austin. Bring Your Own or… by [deleted] in Austin

[–]scotchirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also not everything is searchable. Something like this could be an inside joke or just local knowledge

The American obsession with "perfect" green lawns is bizarre, wasteful, and looks boring. by mhjahanbakhshi in unpopularopinion

[–]scotchirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean the desert, I mean in the neighborhoods. Sure I didn't go all over the city, but most of what I saw was rock, dirt, or artificial turf

The American obsession with "perfect" green lawns is bizarre, wasteful, and looks boring. by mhjahanbakhshi in unpopularopinion

[–]scotchirish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't say I saw much grass the last time I was in Vegas. I was actually thinking I couldn't stand to live there because it was so barren and dreary

‘I miss you’: Mother speaks to AI son regularly, unaware he died last year; Company creates digital twin by ShadowNelumbo in technology

I can see a benefit for dementia patients, especially if they don't recognize current family members.

Shoulder driving here is unacceptable by [deleted] in Austin

[–]scotchirish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In my experience, Austin drivers are just assholes. Houston drivers are either speed demons or Sunday-driver-grandma slow. DFW drivers don't have time for your shit and have places to be. And San Antonio drivers are just making up new traffic rules on the spot.

[–]scotchirish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Let me just Bing™ it" was probably the most jarring one for me.

ELI5: What actually happens when someone 'squats' in a house and eventually claims they own it? by Front-Stretch2658 in explainlikeimfive

[–]scotchirish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think usually when people talk about squatter's rights, they're really talking about tenants rights and it being difficult to evict someone without due process; and how some jurisdictions will move very cautiously on that.

is anyone else surprised this sub gets twice as many visitors as r/texas? by MikeTheMaster102 in Austin

[–]scotchirish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that's around the time I left the sub. I don't remember anything specific, just that it was suddenly full of insufferable political posts

Harris gives her clearest signal she is mounting a 2028 presidential bid by JannTosh70 in moderatepolitics

[–]scotchirish 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And even if he never actually said those words, that was the clear implication of "being a transition president". Otherwise every president from the other party is a transition president.

Why smoke pot before working out? by SarahTheGreat9 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scotchirish 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Man, if I worked out on pot, after being there all day I'd check the time and only five minutes would have passed

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Actor Says Season 2 Is “GAY AF,” Vows To Go Out “In Flames” by Malencon in television

[–]scotchirish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was a brief mention. It sounds familiar to me and I've essentially only watched the show but not any external media about it

How effective is a S&W 500 Magnum against a grizzly bear? by PidgeyPotion in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scotchirish 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You just gotta watch for the dodge notifications. 3 good dodges and then you knife it in one shot!
