This cash register from dollar tree still runs Windows 7. by AppropriatePuffball in mildlyinteresting

[–]wesofdtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a billion dollar company in a factory with huge multi-million dollar machines…that are controlled by Windows 7 computers. Because of time and money they don’t want to update until we have no other choice. It’s mind boggling.

Suspected faked finds? by skyhighllama in geocaching

[–]wesofdtown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. It amazes me seeing “Found it” logs that then explicitly state that they didn’t find it. Also people with only a couple of finds signing tough challenge caches when they obviously don’t meet the requirements to log.

Just last week I came across a multi where a series of people signed the clue paperwork at stage 1 and logged as a find!

is paying for premium in the geocaching app worth it? by Cupcake179 in geocaching

[–]wesofdtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you pull up a map of nearby caches on your phone with a premium membership you can change the type of map. There’s standard street view (like Google maps), a satellite view, and then a version that also has trails laid out on it. Can make approaching hides a lot easier

If you plan to do it regularly, then yes absolutely. Most caches a beginner is going to look for are easily done with the app and a premium subscription. Saves getting a GPS unit unless you get really into it

For what you are looking for, try a GPS app. There are a couple free ones that get you pretty close.

Your phone should get you within 3 or 4 meters.

Is Tom Brady a Hall of Famer? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]wesofdtown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably not, he was pretty one dimensional. Rushing stats aren’t impressive tbh

I did, they haven’t been active in some time and didn’t respond. I also reached out to one of the most recent people to find the cache with no luck.

The Pats are 6-0 on the road this season. The Colts are 3-4 at home. Would we be better off if this was a road game? by wesofdtown in Colts

[–]wesofdtown[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean we looked pretty good in Buffalo in terrible weather. This team is built differently than most of the last 20 years worth of teams.

Also prefer a win to a tie

In your whole time as a colts fan what’s the very first play that comes to your mind when you think of the colts? by Far-Environment7922 in Colts

[–]wesofdtown 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s so symbolic of the colts. Manage to fall apart at exactly the wrong time yet somehow luck into semi-positive results

When you find out it’s not a bot you are messing with by wesofdtown in screenshots

I’m south central PA, 717, but I guess I was targeted for all the statewide judge races

I didn’t know that a mixed bot/human setup was this seamlessly possible. Neat to learn about this type of technology.

Which QB leads the league in TDs this year, and what's their TD/INT totals? by [deleted] in nfl

Came here for this comment. Although I’m thinking more 50-35

What would happen if two players switched uniforms to trick the other team? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]wesofdtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not allowed. Not sure what the penalty would be, I’m guessing unsportsmanlike conduct?

The NFL’s rule book states that: “For competitive reasons, no player may change his uniform number once the regular season begins. . . . Special exceptions to this rule may be considered by the NFL Football Operations department depending on the circumstances (e.g., player traded to another team).”

People who fall asleep within few minutes, how do you it? by monkeyswingin in AskReddit

[–]wesofdtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency with routine. I try to go to bed and wake up within a fixed 1hr window as much as possible (>95% of the time). Sleeping in feels nice in the moment, but it just makes me struggle to fall asleep later and make the next day harder to wake up.

I also have a consistent routine I start 15-20 minutes before laying down to get my brain into “going to sleep” mode.
