What's your useless skill?
-
that's on the fly volume calculation. very useful for when you have to pack a truck.
also helps if you have some Tetris experience. so def monetizeableI went to college with a guy who was paid very well for figuring out the most efficient way to load a freighter. This was before computers were in common use. Also, never bet money on a chess game with him.

I knew someone that worked at an Audi dealer that can recognize everyone's voice and associate their purchase.
I called him 4 years later to inquire about a new Audi and he asked me how my TT was treating me and if I was ready for a bigger car(I mentioned that I was going to start a family soon).

I'm pretty sure you don't
well it's likely to be a digit between 8 and 10

I can throw dog treats with absurd accuracy and nearly always bounce/spin/toss them right near my dogs. Until I point it out.

Born politician right there. Seriously, some of the shittiest villains in politics would nonetheless wow you with how they can legitimately work an entire room full of people, remember names, make you feel special, etc.

My useless skill is software development ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't feel bad, I used to work as a writer.

But it's just a guess!

I can build majority of flat pack furniture without the instructions, first time, every time.

Honestly, if I was in the market in buying another car, I would love that kind of personalization.

I’m guessing Amazon bought them and dicked everything up.
Guessing, I have no idea if that’s true but it would add up.
Pretty much, closed forums, removed or paywalled features. Right now, they are on yet another iteration of dumbing down the UI to the point of being nearly useless.

That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program to create a replacement for if IMDb’s data is scrapeable, but I don’t know anything about programming
That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program [...] but I don’t know anything about programming
As a programmer, that phrase tends to raise my blood pressure.
But it depends on how they structure their data but since all the elements are already related, it should be easy to query them all together. I bet they've abandoned it more because the query UI is a bit dense for most. But nothing that could be replaced with a simple textbox that could take any combination of cast/crew/titles and find anything that matches the combination. But they might need to add some specific indexing that would use up additional resources. -

My S-tier abitity to hyperfocus on learning useless things to the detriment of everything else.

Completely understandable. But it really is quite similar to an excel macro that I used to use for a job. The source information is obviously different and I could see it being difficult to readily access, but I figure if someone can program something similar in excel, it can’t be that complicated… perhaps that’s just as loaded a phrase. I am familiar enough with excel to realize that I don’t actually understand how functional it is, lol.

It’s sad that all I needed to do was know that Amazon bought them and put the rest together based on a long list of shit they just ruined.

Oh man so much love went into crafting code for low end MP3 players in the Rockbox project, then everyone ended up carrying around smartphones with tons of compute and memory resource to waste
Man I still use my iPod with rockbox. A terabyte of storage and a massive battery and I never have to worry about giving streaming revenue to pedo rapists like red hot chili peppers, or worry about rumors being true about pedo rapists like panic at the disco

Honestly, I think this skill could easily translate to one of those "lore keeper" or "continuity expert" jobs people have on TV shows.

Polysulfones. Tough bastards and spendy.
PSU is definitely not the top of the list but still in the wheel house. Takes a lot of force before it snaps off with the snips. Send it over.

Rockbox was so cool. I had it on my SanDisk Sansa e250. It was so awesome. Better video format support, better interface. And it ran fucking DOOM.

I have this same skill, but with voice actors.
Me with anime
Granted I watch mostly >decade old stuff dubs, so it's mostly the same 30 VAs in every show
