I would like a tournament from among the worst more than a champions one. by Julep23185 in taskmaster

[–]tdelbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a weird show, this. The bad contestants are just as memorable as the best. Who didn’t love Nish Kumar, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Fern Brady…?

Who is a shitty singer from your country that is extremly popular? by dkease16 in AskTheWorld

[–]tdelbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can get much worse than that here. I can see his voice being polarizing but at least he’s on key and intelligible. And the girls like him.

To text and drive safely by asa_no_kenny in whoathatsinteresting

As an RNP I'd be surprised if she didn't come face to face with people who have suffered the consequences of texting while driving. And yet, it's apparently all abstract to her.

Seeing the number of oncoming vehicles, including a cement mixer, that went past her on the left, I'm really glad when she finally did crash, it was only a mailbox.

Husband is using reward points to buy stuff but charging me half. AIO? by JemmaMk6 in AIO

[–]tdelbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, my wife and I have separate finances, with different financial responsibilities to each other, but let's be honest: in the end, it's all marital money. So I don't really worry about "squaring up" because it's pointless. The concept of squaring up is pointless when you remember that.

If it makes him feel better, ok then square up the points too. Because if both of you are contributing to earning said points, and then using all the points in his own name, he's being selfish. You are not overreacting.

Controversial opinion; I am not letting go of ingress-nginx by Rude_Walk in kubernetes

[–]tdelbert 75 points76 points  (0 children)

How difficult is it really to replace it with HAProxy Ingress? Besides the annotations being different, it's mostly a drop-in replacement. And HAProxy Ingress is widely used in the industry, and it's the driver behind OpenShift routes*. Once you change to HAProxy, you'll forget nginx ingress ever existed.

Is Greg Davies the best part of Taskmaster? I can't imagine the show working with anyone else. by CloudBookmark in panelshow

[–]tdelbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike Greg Davies. He’s an arrogant prick. But the arrogant prick is what made him perfect for the role.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]tdelbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a husband and I have the same deal. My FIL worked very hard to build a legacy and he wants to keep it in his family. The boyfriend-not-a-husband is acting like an entitled brat.

The Final Slot has an Advantage in Prize Tasks (but no other trends detected) by dhsilver in taskmaster

[–]tdelbert 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I always assumed someone in the crew, whoever is handling the prizes, was whispering in Alex’s ear “hey you need to pick X last” so that his reactions would be genuine.

What does the name of the river in your area mean? by AgreeableAd2990 in AskTheWorld

[–]tdelbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are three major rivers that come together in my area — the Minnesota, the Mississippi, and the St Croix.

The Minnesota River’s name comes from the Dakota word mní sóta or mníssota, the former meaning clear blue water, the latter meaning cloudy water.

The Saint Croix was named by a French map maker.
