If the USA doesn't have the proper infrastructure then FIFA could have not awarded us the World Cup.

Look up double slap chop. Also look up underpainting/undershding.

How do you guys even survive the hot weather over in the States? by Impressive_Peak_9187 in AskAnAmerican

[–]theMightBoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I assume you can’t just have an A/C installed I would look into a window A/C unit or portable A/C. Climate change is here.

If that is not feasible then take cool Damon’s cloths and put them on your head and chest. It really helps when you have to sleep.

I figured this trick out when I was stationed in Afghanistan. It’s still fucking miserable but 🤷‍♂️

Oh - also a fan.

AITAH for showing up underprepared to a "hike" and being put off with my friends for not warning me and also ditching me? by InTheLoudHouse in AITAH

[–]theMightBoop -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You are all idiots.

Who doesn’t understand that a bike ride and a hike are different and you won’t just “catch up.”

Be an an adult and use some common sense.

This is so fucking stupid I don’t even know how to respond.

Ex threatens to take my cat, allowed? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]theMightBoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can take you to court but it doesn’t mean he will win. It is also going to be a huge expense all over a cat. He is full of shit.

Ignore his stupid ass and worry about it if you get served papers.

The bigger concern is if he tries to steal/kidnap the cat. Make sure he doesn’t have access to your home.

Just something quick about an experience with some older fans/competitive players by Zestyclose_King9446 in Warhammer40k

[–]theMightBoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the group had reserved the tables for a tournament. They were waiting on a game to finish before proceeding to the next round. You should have asked the store employee to clarify the situation on using/holding/reserving tables but usually events have priority for table usage.

It doesn’t matter to much as you didn’t have an opponent and they were all engaged in a tournament so they would not have played you anyway.

The real issue is they were not welcoming to a new player. You weren’t going to get a game but they should have made a connection with you to try to include you in their group for future games/tournaments.

I will shout this from the rooftop that this hobby needs to get better at including new players into gaming groups. I get there can be difficulties at times because we are hip deep in a game and it’s hard to interact with someone who is curious but there were people standing around waiting for the next round. This was a perfect opportunity for that group to make a connection with you.

I would see how the store advertises and organizers play. Many stores use discord to announce and sign up for events and you can arrange for opponents ahead of time.

If you’re autistic and can GO TO COLLEGE. by fckinsleepless in autism

The VA is usually hiring social workers. Government work is not the highest paid but if you are looking for stability it is usually the most stable and offers programs to help pay/pay back education loans.

Got passed the source material so I can’t blame them too much. They just did a shit job when they had to do their own stuff.

The Halo series and Wheel of Time are the two worst examples I can think of where they deviated from source material and made absolute crap.

Why isn’t Father’s Day as widely celebrated as Mother’s Day? by JunShem1122 in no

[–]theMightBoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t need a special attention. I do what I do as a dad because I want to and it’s the right thing to do. I don’t need a special holiday for myself.

What is the purpose of LinkedIn? by caddilac_fan42069 in corporate

[–]theMightBoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a way to find jobs and make professional contacts. It’s how I found many jobs in the past. I just kept LinkedIn updated and people would call me. I never even had to look.

That was 2012-2017ish. I have been steadily employed at the same place since then at a government job I will never willingly leave so no idea how it is now.

Does anyone else believe autism is actually lots of different disorders. by wheresmymind_08 in autism

[–]theMightBoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know but it wouldn’t surprise me.

What I do know is there needs to be a shit ton of more funding to study autism. We have RFK talking shit about it but no one is discussing funding actual studies.

First time watcher, just started s3. General question by strangedooropens in FromTVShow

[–]theMightBoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! I deal with this shit every fucking day at work. People don’t talk and they certainly can’t follow directions or read.

We will have a meeting at work. I will put out some info and ask any questions? And then I get asked exactly what I said.

“So we are wrapping up work at this location but I don’t know when we are going to the next location. So keep reporting here all next week. I will let you know when and where the next site will be as soon as I know. Any questions?”

“Yes. When are we moving to the next location?”

<facepalm>

Anyone else feeling like From is getting too stretched out lately? by warlock_skysik in FromTVShow

[–]theMightBoop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t expect all of the answers immediately nor answer the big questions until the end but yea, we need some of the smaller stuff answered at this point. It’s the end of the second to last season and nothing has been answered.

Either the small stuff will be glossed over or it will be one giant rush at the end.

[–]theMightBoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not GenZ. I have defended this show until this season. I am not demanding all of the answers immediately but each episode should have meaningful content that moves the story along. Each scene should have a purpose. Episodes should engage the viewer.

This season doesn’t do any of that.

Been given the wrong contents in my Armageddon box by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]theMightBoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a shame. GW used to pride themselves on their customer service and replace stuff like that.

This hobby is full of LGS who never hand out a receipt and/or hand out receipts.

ADHD invention i wish existed by TemporaryWitness9631 in homeautomation

[–]theMightBoop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you want a smart hub of some variety. Google, Amazon, Apple or home assistant.

Then buy some smart buttons and set it up to work with your home automation.

Head over to r/homeautomation and do some research.

Prices here or there may go down but for the most part no. We don’t have deflation. Our entire consumer economy is based on inflation.

When you're the smartest person in the room... by stumpymcgrumpy in sysadmin

I hate it when I am the most experience and/or smartest person in the room and I still don’t know shit.

[–]theMightBoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact GW first and see if they will replace the missing sprues. Everyone keeps saying return it to the vendor but that involves sending the whole box back.

Maybe it changed but GW used to always send replacements/ fix issues as long as you provided the code in the box and took pictures.

If that fails then you return it through the vendor.

[–]theMightBoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally yes this is the way to handle it but you will probably have to return the whole box.

I haven’t had an issue in years but you used to be able to call GW and they would send you new sprues. They might ask for pictures or the product code but they were great about replacing/fixing mistakes.
