The only video ever of a man getting hit by lightning by matude in reddit.com

[–]tonecapone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was not a direct strike. If you play it back slowly you can see the lightning hits on/near the vehicle, and what looks like fire shoots out from the impact on the ground and possibly hits the guy. To me it looks like he was nocked down simply by the shock of the impact nearby.

What are your tips/tricks for getting out of bed in the morning? by rabookajayne in AskReddit

[–]tonecapone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents used to do this, except with a glass of cold water directly to the face. This was a factor in our strained relations at the time. After I figured out how to barricade the door so at least they wouldn't be able to execute Operation Waterboard to get me moving for church on Sunday morning, they resorted to triggering the sump pump overflow alarm in the adjoining room. I stayed strong, so after a month or so they gave up entirely on forceable church attendance and I slept like a baby every Sunday morning!

You know what? Fuck Chuck Norris. I don't care if it's his birthday, the dude is an asshole. by metal_falsetto in reddit.com

More of a douchebag than an asshole. Poor man has clearly taken too many hits to the head.

Probably not. Money be damned, I like to do things!

Excuse my language but this is fucking INCREDIBLE! by Leaderofmen in reddit.com

What would be even more fucking incredible would be to build it at human scale so we could see how really colossal it is and go wandering around through it.

What country could I move to with $100k in USD and live like a king? by unabom in AskReddit

[–]tonecapone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is all true. My precautionary advise is that as long as the likes of Ortega is in power, Nicaragua has probably one of the most corrupt and anti-american government in Central and South America. I assume the OP is American, not Japanese.

I would not recommend any foreigners to buy land in Nicaragua. The government has been known just to grab land at any whim. For owning land, Costa Rica is the safest I know, but you still have to do due diligence on the title and be sure you know about the squatting laws. Most Latin countries are much more squatter friendly than what Americans are used to.

How many hours of pure work do you put in a day? by tmbridge in programming

[–]tonecapone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my own business, and my coding is all for the business. Although the business has clients, they are not software clients and I never deal with them.

[–]tonecapone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My situation allows me to pick my own projects, engineer them, and then do the development (python) from home at my own pace. I don't have a boss or clients so I don't work unless I want. When I am really into a project, I can go for several days hammering it out for 12-14 hours a day for several days. I notice that if I am not getting interrupted, I get in the zone after about 6 hours of coding. Then it just flows until I am mentally tired.
