What popular quote do you hate with a passion? by yourightin AskReddit

[–]anomoly 0 points1 point ago

The best spin on this that I've heard is, "The customer isn't always right, but they are always the customer". I think it maintains the concept of good customer service without saying that all those idiot customers are right.

A jammie dodger. Apparently it's just bread and jam.

And here I thought I'd be the only one with that count.

Navy Chief (xPost from funny) by lumberjackdin Military

My old Army unit had a Sgt Boner. A group of the guys walked into a bar and called to him from across the room. Of course yelling, "hey Boner!" in a crowded bar turned some heads. It was quickly followed by, "No, really, his name is Boner! Seriously!"

Ah, good times.

The true story of an atheist living in the Bible Belt. It was a fun party with some old friends...until this happened. by AtlantaAtheistin atheism

[–]anomoly 20 points21 points ago

Horray for interpreting the Constitution to fit your world-view.

I'm sure it's an effortless task after doing the same thing with the bible for so long.

I don't know about ADerp, but it definitely reminds me of Gir.

Changing the lockscreen and wallpaper. by anomolyin kindlefire

[–]anomoly[S] 0 points1 point ago

I agree on the point of it being onerous, but I was up for anything that got those dreadful default wallpapers off my screen.

Great tip, I just discovered this today as well. Used it to transfer ShootMe from my phone to my Kindle because it's no longer on the market.

New research is showing that belief in the paranormal arises from the same brain mechanisms that shape most human thought. by lazyinkin science

[–]anomoly 5 points6 points ago

The author of that article recently released another book called The Believing Brain which covers agenticity, among other things, in great detail. I'm in the process of listening to the audio version and I recommend it.

Also, here's a link to a video where he covers an outline of what's covered in the book.

Rooting question. I like the features of the amazon reader and book store and wonder how rooting will impact it. What type of reader/viewer do you then use? Noob - please excuse - by steelpetersin kindlefire

[–]anomoly 3 points4 points ago

I've been using the Voodoo OTA Root Keeper app to disable root when I want to use the streaming service; when you're done it allows you to restore root with the push of a button.

The scientific explanation of "the afterlife" is way more poetic than the Biblical explanation - from my favorite atheist, Bill Bryson by RedditGoldDiggerin atheism

[–]anomoly 1 point2 points ago

Ah, excellent point. I forgot that the audio version I had was abridged. Now I want to go back and re-read the whole book or listen to the unabridged audio version. It's been a while anyway so it's due.

The scientific explanation of "the afterlife" is way more poetic than the Biblical explanation - from my favorite atheist, Bill Bryson by RedditGoldDiggerin atheism

[–]anomoly 6 points7 points ago* 

As an added bonus, Bryson narrates the book himself. He's so easy to listen to that you don't realize how many hours are going by.

Edit: While I stand by my opinion of listening to Bryson, the comments below are probably correct in recommending the unabridged audio book.

To root or not to root? by TheRoachOn12in kindlefire

[–]anomoly 1 point2 points ago

I don't think you'll need an android device to install the apps, just an email address to register with the android marketplace.

If I was in your position I would setup a gmail account for use with the Fire, and use that when asked to register for the marketplace. Once that is in place you should be able to install the apps to your Fire.

Alien Blue on the Kindle Fire: How do we make it happen?? by JoeyBlazein kindlefire

[–]anomoly 0 points1 point ago

The big thing keeping me using Reddit is Fun was the dark theme that I didn't see on any of the other apps. After all this talk about Baconreader in /r/kindlefire I decided to check it out again. Very happy to see the lights out option, and it's now on both my phone and fire.

r/kindlefire is where the action is! by angrydroidin kindlefire

I've been using Reddit is Fun, so it seems multiple options are out there.

Links are NSFW: Graphic images. IAmA person that essentially severed all of his fingers on a tablesaw. AMA by Dulljackin IAmA

[–]anomoly 1 point2 points ago

"God damnit, that sucks."

This was probably my favorite part of your description. Last year I had a partial amputation of one of my fingertips at work. When I pulled off my glove and my the fingertip flopped open like an Inspector Gadget finger I just looked at it and said, "Well, shit".

The guy I was working with freaked out and asked "what do we do?!", to which I replied, "Um... go to the first aid room."

Thanks for the great AMA!
