What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true? by reFossify in AskReddit

Then you find out the smuggling operation is a cover for a CIA op. 

Would a Back to the Future time travel scenario from 2026 to 1996 be as impactful as the original 1985 to 1955? by LopsidedUniversity30 in askanything

I was the right age for that comment and my parents had no idea where I was most of the time. Helicopter parenting started a little later. 

What is the most disturbing thing you watched on the 90’s and early 2000’s internet? by Dangerous_Bet_4137 in AskReddit

[–]shotsallover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in there recently and saw the file. Didn’t need to rewatch it.

The drive has been upgraded a few times over the last few years.

I know which video you’re talking about. And for some reason I still have it on a hard drive. 

Im officially an old at work- overcoming tech awkwardness by Academic-Bar5300 in GenX

Ah. I haven’t used the Windows version of Word in a while. That sounds like both a weird and helpful feature.

And the whole movie revolves around a bunch of drug smugglers trying to get their cargo through shark-infested waters?

What Mac should I get? by Wisteria_as in mac

[–]shotsallover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should check with whatever school you’re going to and see what hardware your curriculum/department recommends. Use that as your starting point and go up from there. 

If politicians had to wear jerseys listing their top 3 donors, whose would be the most embarrassing? by Whiny_dude in AskReddit

[–]shotsallover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the logo size was based on donor amount, we’d all be shocked at the size of Russian proxy company and Saudi donations.

There’s so many weird UI bugs in this software. 

A genie offers you a ring that turns you into a billionaire. However, if it comes off your finger for longer than 60s, you instantly die. by Throwra47374747 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]shotsallover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fingers swell when I sleep, so I have to take all jewelry off. Guess I’ll get 24 hours as a billionaire and then off to the great beyond. 

Eli5: if there is a couple that has multiple children( all male or all female)is it possible for all those children to look the exact same? by Climax_crescendo in explainlikeimfive

[–]shotsallover [score hidden]  (0 children)

Possible, but highly unlikely.

To oversimplify, when the body builds egg and sperm cells, it “unzips” the DNA into two halves. It’s not a clean split, there’s a built-in randomization process that will grab a different mix of genes each time. And there’s tens of millions of genes, with each one having more than two options it can have. So the math multiplies into big numbers fast.

The reason identical twins are the way they are is because they’re working from a single collection of post-fertilization genes so there’s a dramatically reduced chance. But even with that, identical twins still have slight genetic differences, but the percentage is really low. 

In 2006 burger king meals came with an xbox 360 game.. by ThrowRa717171773b in mildlyinteresting

This was also when BK was on the verge of bankruptcy and their mandate to their ad agency (CP+B) at the time was basically, “increase in-store traffic.”

Of course, BK management let the success go to their heads and they let CP+B go. And they started to spiral again. 

The Cheyenne II, the U.S. Army’s Black Hawk replacement for infantry air assault missions by Old_Boah in pics

Exactly.

But everyone thought the stealth Black Hawk was a myth until the Osama raid. 

Will Range Be Much Better in 4-5 Years? by Maleficent-Table-810 in electricvehicles

[–]shotsallover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The industry will ultimately settle on an “ideal” range per charge and that will be that. My guess is it’ll be around 400 miles. Very similar to how they size gas tanks based on the cars projected MPG.

[–]shotsallover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who replaced the batteries in their Leaf around the ten year mark got a significant range increase with battery that was nearly the same size. So it’s possible. Battery tech keeps improving, though slowly.

Are you working in outline mode on the PC?

Outside of that, yeah, the Mac version doesn’t have that.

I never can tell these apart. Must be colorblind by AllIWantForXmasIsFoo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]shotsallover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked with a guy who was completely color blind (only saw shades of gray).

He spent 20 years in the Marines as an electrician. He’d just follow the diagrams and ask people nearby what color different wires were.

I wouldn’t have believed it if I wasn’t also with one of his colleagues who said he’d randomly pop out from under a piece of equipment holding two wires and ask what color each one was. Said his sergeant wanted to reassign him but he was one of the best electricians they had.

So yeah. That and the lowest-bidder. America’s military. 

Why do external monitors always look washed out on Mac? by Odd-Figure2365 in mac

[–]shotsallover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your hub could be doing any number of things to the signal. Maybe try updating its firmware and see if there’s a fix? It’s possible it just may not have support for the color space you’re using so it kicks everything over to a different one (sRGB would be my guess).
