Heatwave is no joke...
  • Not washing cars results in long term damage to the car. If you have a 200k mile shitbox with peeling clear coat, sure, you don’t need to wash it because it probably won’t matter.

    If you have something nice with good paint, washing is an important maintenance item

  • Let’s make games open source, so future generations can enjoy them
  • Ehh if you are on a reputable tracker that has scene releases it’s generally downloading a torrent, copying a crack into the game directory or running some crack software, and play. It’s not in the least bit difficult.

    Realistically most people don’t care about things like automatic updates enough to justify spending money on it.

  • The debate gets interesting sometimes
  • I don’t think that’s the case at all. Not everything has been successful, and in many cases efforts got watered down so they could pass congress. However, Obama and Biden have pushed for some pretty serious left wing talking points. Some examples off the top of my head:

    -Medical reform

    -Student loan forgiveness

    -Renewable energy initiatives

    -Marijuana rescheduling

    -Repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the military

    -Immigration clemency with DACA

    Compare that with Bill Clinton, whose strategy explicitly was to place himself midway between liberals and conservatives

  • The debate gets interesting sometimes
  • I’d generally agree, but the problem is that this particular instance is much higher stakes than most elections.

    Generally speaking, the worst case scenario would be someone like John McCain taking the reins instead of Obama. I didn’t agree with McCain about a lot of things but he was a generally honorable guy who wanted to do the best for American democracy.

    Now we have a group who is polling to win and outright saying “America needs a dictatorship”. If they get their way, it could be the last election we ever have.

  • Shotgun Spread w/ Different Chokes Tubes
  • The particular combination of barrel and shot matters. Even different brands of similar shot, or different shotguns of the same make/model, can have differences.

    The chart above is just a general guideline, it’s often recommended to pattern your specific combination to know firsthand how it performs.

  • Shotgun Spread w/ Different Chokes Tubes
  • Yes they get a bit smaller at the end to reduce the spread.

    Bullets are quite malleable and it’s normal for them to deform a bit during firing. Bullets for non-shotguns typically get forced down a bit in the forcing cone before being deformed to fit the grooves in the rifling.

    “Rifled” lead shotgun slugs have these grooves around the outside that allow them to deform down to a smaller diameter. You can shoot them through a choked shotgun barrel just fine.

  • POV: The previous owner said "yeah I do all my own maintenance"
  • Yeah I agree with all of that.

    One of my pet peeves is giving safety critical items like this a couple gut-feel ugga duggas instead of following the right procedures. I recently had a body shop destroy half a dozen studs on my car zipping them on with air tools.

    It’s crazy how much we have normalized half-assed wheel installations.

  • POV: The previous owner said "yeah I do all my own maintenance"
  • Jesus that’s bad.

    Honestly, though, if you don’t grow up working on cars seemingly obvious things aren’t obvious. A part of me wants to applaud him for learning to work on his car himself.

    I am kinda shocked that wheel wasn’t vibrating like crazy driving down the highway though.

  • Socrates
  • It’s a joke, it’s not meant to be serious philosophical commentary.

    That said, I find your comment a bit funny because Socrates’ dialectical method was largely a result of his objection to sophistry. Note that he rarely makes a statement himself, merely challenges those who use oratory techniques to support their claims to know the truth

  • Fudging rolls is the path to the dark side...
  • That’s when we find out the player’s wizard character, Ehariel, has a long lost brother named Aharial with a suspiciously identical set of stats and backstory

    He also has been looking for his brother for years only to conveniently find the party minutes after his brother dies

  • The hard stuff [Mr. Lovenstein]
  • I hope so too

    We stopped talking after she got herself stranded in a different city to manufacture a big crisis where people had to rescue her from south central LA at 2AM. She said it was a mistake but we later overheard her bragging about how she did it on purpose to get attention.
