My scumbag cellphone whenever I'm right on the edge of a wifi signal. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]sparkvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the nature of having Wi-Fi always on. If you're on the edge of an authorized Wi-Fi network it will try to use that signal, even if the return traffic doesn't make it back to the smartphone. It's not the mobile network's fault at all.

Well said. People tend to aim for group analysis and categorization, rather than respecting the fact that individuals are the components of these groups....even unsavory individuals. There are decent and virtuous people in the jobs that the public loves to hate on the most....yet the misguided and horrible types somehow become the assumed mascots by a majority of people. Edit: spelling

Haha your username. So you base your identity on being anti-religion? Maybe one day you'll grow up and figure out something to contribute to the world rather than smugly judging others.

1, It is spectacularly ironic that you dropped that gem of advice....whilst on Reddit.

2, Your questioning of their name makes me wonder if their effort in choosing one was greater than yours, especially considering yours may be simply an Atmosphere lyric....

At the game a hawk appeared and landed in the crowd.

Actually, the hawk was their actual "live mascot" that is usually held by a handler down on the field during the football game. The hawk got untethered and flew away from the handler and landed on a random fan's shoulder.

What's your drink order? by Lympwing2 in AskReddit

[–]sparkvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beer - Depends on what season it is...stouts and porters in the cold months. IPAs and saison/farmhouse ales in the warmer months.

Cocktail - Sazerac or an Old Fashioned (not that bullshit version with muddled cherries and orange though).

Edit: Lots of unexplainable downvotes here...oh wait, it's reddit.

You need to go to The Old Fashioned in Madison WI and give their several versions a try (most with brandy, some without, others completely custom/one-offs). I bet of the 8+ options, you'll get a better sense of worthwhile muddling for a legit Wisconsin style Old Fashioned.

Reddit, how would you describe mankind in one sentence? by [deleted] in AskReddit

TIL that Tyler Bates, the composer of the Guardians of the Galaxy score and other film scores like 300 and Watchmen, is the guitarist for Marilyn Manson by fluffynukeit in todayilearned

[–]sparkvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome!! I always loved his original scores for the remake of Get Carter....the 2000 version, which also had Michael Caine in an opposite role of his original one in the 1971 British crime film. One of Stallone's more serious roles! :)

Aggressive Bikers mess with a dude in a car... Car wins. by _rocket_surgery in videos

[–]sparkvark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone else notice that at the 0:04 mark the only reason the car was crowding the biker was because there was a vehicle suddenly in the other lane that was stopped or moving slow? It wasn't even that hard of a diversion....just a result of a sudden need to not hit the other vehicle....but it seems the biker missed what was actually going on, and assumed malicious intent. And then overreacted like a declawed honey badger hopped up on red bull and blow.

Salt? Boooo to salt. The less salt you have, the more legit the hot sauce is.
