tysm ♥♥♥

[full fossil]

Bob, you ever played Turbo Dismount?

[manic torrent]

I did not

[full fossil]

ah

Was a fun game

[tardy terrace]

Oh my god i love this

[manic torrent]

haha yep

[median idol]

TFW I realise I have been going to school for over two decades

[full fossil]

lol

[median idol]

And to top it all off, basically longer than close to half of this server has been alive

[crude jasper]

are you boblasertech

[manic torrent]

no, I am Hardware Bob

[tardy terrace]

Maker of PC Cranes

[pure olive]

hi bob

[full fossil]

El' hardware de bobbo the 1st

[wispy marsh]

Hardware Blob

[pure olive]

@manic torrent is your pc / monitor crane done?

[manic torrent]

lol

I had to redesign the lift section

[pure olive]

why?

[manic torrent]

well, strictly the gantry, but yeah.

[wispy marsh]

Wife says it's ugly?

[tardy terrace]

Why not create it out of meccano?

[manic torrent]

Too much lateral force on the gantry, couldn't move it reliably.

[pure olive]

darn

[manic torrent]

The problem was with the rotation and transition.

[tardy terrace]

are you using some sort of z/x pulley system?

[manic torrent]

50kg SWL.

[tardy terrace]

Meccano x3

[tardy terrace]

I don't know the acronym but yes I understand the system you're using now

IIRC Y-axis is forward-back motion so this'd make it a core Z-Y movement system

[manic torrent]

When it was loaded, there's just so much force on the gear moving the gantry it was never going to work right. And typically you'd have the cable run around completely and balance the forces (much like luke skywalker) - but that doesn't work because I want it to transition from this rotating section to an additional fixed section

[pure olive]

Y axis is up and down

x axis is left and right

z axis is back and forward

[tardy terrace]

in what world is Z not height???

[manic torrent]

The bar rotates though, so the concept doesn't apply directly

[pure olive]

in what world is z height?

[manic torrent]

it rotates around the x axis, so the gantry movement is in either x or y

[tardy terrace]

3D printing?

[pure olive]

what?!

[manic torrent]

z is height.

[pure olive]

in math y is height

[tardy terrace]

x=width
y=depth
z=height

[manic torrent]

it isn't.

[tardy terrace]

According to what?

[manic torrent]

whoever did that is chaotic evil

[pure olive]

lmao

[manic torrent]

also - in math they aren't relative, they are arbitrary. They are just dimensions

[tardy terrace]

Satan had a kidney stone that day

[past egret]

are you implying that he pees

[tardy terrace]

Everybody Poops

[pure olive]

i dont

i just radiate the energy out in heat

[tardy terrace]

[rare zenith]

[pure olive]

also hi kodo

[manic torrent]

[tardy terrace]

I'd eat so much Wendys every day

[rare zenith]

(this is also a joke cause that'd be nasty)

[pure olive]

[past egret]

oh.

[rare zenith]

i feel bad that y'all actually think that about me

[pure olive]

shush

[tardy terrace]

Piss buckets in 2023??

Fuckin' nasty

[limber fractal]

[tardy terrace]

KODO NO

[pure olive]

[tardy terrace]

Hey

[tardy terrace]

Hej

[chrome vector]

Regionalism is so stupid. Was trying to buy an amazon gift card for someone in a different country but I couldn't, even using a VPN on the country's website

dumb

[tardy terrace]

CC overrides VPN

[loud bolt]

Hey

[timid meadow]

Sup

[loud bolt]

How are you

[chrome vector]

I still need to watch the last scream movie and the newest one. I love Scream, but I haven't caught up yet. Same with Halloween.

[timid meadow]

Not too bad. Debating what i wanna do for the next few hours. Already been super productive on my days off so far so might just chill. Should probably go tune the bike i just rebuilt but that'll only take 30 mins tops so im not too worried about it

Could work through tiny tinas wonderland

[loud bolt]

IT SO GOOD

[chrome vector]

"already been super productive on my days off"

can't relate

I need to get my ass in gear

[chrome vector]

The newest one or the last one? Or both?

[loud bolt]

IDK

\THEY BOTH GOOD

[timid meadow]

I normally fight executive dysfunction hella hard but in the last 48 hours ive spent 7 tearing down and rebuilding 2 bikes, then another 6 on server maintenance

[chrome vector]

That's really cool. I honestly think part of the reason is the fact I've been off ADD meds for so long, but idk. There's probably more to it. But nice

[chrome vector]

Yeah I'm going to watch them soon

[loud bolt]

GOOD

[timid meadow]

Their both on my server but i gotta wait for schedule to line up with wifey

[cosmic bobcat]

this is gonna sound so dumb, and very random, but also, y'all know how those minecraft youtubers had like those really complicated 2d intros back in like 2016-2017? imagine making an intro like that in powerpoint 💀 i used powerpoint a lil bit for a video i made for work, and between the transitions and animations included in powerpoint, it made me think about that just now

[loud bolt]

UWUW

[cosmic bobcat]

honestly as someone who actively takes ADHD meds, that's actually so hella impressive

that being said i started taking them a month ago and my dosage probably needs to be quadrupled but yeah

[chrome vector]

Yeah I'm kind of amazed I've been able to do anything. What are you on? I'm prescribed Adderall. Concerta made it feel like there was a ball in my throat, barely took ritalin (which is really similar to concerta but still). Was on Vyvanse for, like, a month. But I didn't want to pay extra for it.

[loud bolt]

Wacth my yt

[cosmic bobcat]

Yeah i'm on adderall rn

[loud bolt]

but linus better

[timid meadow]

I cant do pills. Thc is my medication of choice

[cosmic bobcat]

tried to get vyvanse at first then my insurance went "ha that's cute. u gon pay the $360."

then my doctor prescribed ritalin LA or whatever the 12 hr release is, but it was the perfect dosage that my insurance also was like "nope" even though literally the difference of 10 to 20mg would've meant they covered it???

frick america honestly 💀💀💀

[median idol]

I take meds so my neurodivergent ass stays in check

[manic torrent]

what the fuck? my dex is like... uhhh... I can't remember but I think that is the point

[median idol]

Though memes aside, finding the right ones are a big pain

[vapid smelt]

why no pills?

[cosmic bobcat]

yeah idk, i only pay $20 for adderall, they just didn't wanna cover vyvanse at all

[manic torrent]

yeah standard american healthcare garbage

[chrome vector]

same

[median idol]

laughs then starts crying in American

[cosmic bobcat]

fr, i mean at least adderall makes sense IN A WAY because by itself raw pricing it's like 3x more expensive at least than name brand adderall, just bc they have patent and exclusivity agreements, so they "can"

but the ritalin garbage was just plain stupid

[timid meadow]

Couple reasons. One being when you have enough issues, side effects stack and make other stuff worse. Which leads to the main thing for me. When you have impulsivity from stuff like adhd, but also extreme depression and related issues....pills become too easy. I can smoke till i pass out and be fine. Snack on a few too many pills and its an out.

[cosmic bobcat]

same 💀 i wanna get off the antidepressants tho cause i feel over the past few months they mute the "fun side" of my personality

in a way i feel they make me either too calm or just not as funny as i once was, like jokes wise

[timid meadow]

I rarely get "high" when i smoke nowadays. I keep enough in my system to bring me to a level most consider normal

[cosmic bobcat]

and that's just a basic ass 50mg zoloft lol

[cosmic bobcat]

and this is kinda why i want to figure out a way to have maybe one or two months out of the year i straight up detox from adderall

just cold turkey or 2 days a week only taking it

oh fun my street smells like weed lmao

[timid meadow]

Interesting note though from recent self learning, could be wrong but makes sense to me.

Alot of my disorders effect the endocannabanoid system. Thus contributing to why THC makes the world feel like a different place to me. My body lacks chemicals that are extremely similar to those produced in cannabis

[cosmic bobcat]

but yeah i feel like i'm definitely no exception to my body getting "used to" the meds, given that i can throw back like i kid you not, 3 "monsters" (any energy drink really) and feel nothing at all. just a bit more calm but that's it

[median idol]

I can't even tell you what amounts of money I've spent over a decade finding that pill that makes me not feel shitty and..... You can probably tell how that's been going

[cosmic bobcat]

i say "i kid you not" like it's impressive but actually now that i think about it that's not a lot...

my sister used to get out like 5 energy drinks, 3 200mg caffeine pills, and a pre workout energy drink in one day just to get through the day lol

[gilded quest]

Wtf

That would probably kill me

[manic torrent]

kek I take 150mg

[timid meadow]

Dude i was addicted to caffine pills for a bit. That shits no joke

[cosmic bobcat]

somehow we don't have heart problems either

[gilded quest]

I tried a Bang once
Never again

[past egret]

i love red bull

[manic torrent]

I was using nodoze in the morning before I got my sleep apnoea diagnosis

[cosmic bobcat]

i mean caffeine does function somewhat similarly in the brain to amphetamines, just a really weak response in comparison

[vapid smelt]

people really take caffine pills?

[cosmic bobcat]

the first ever time i had one, i was in the habit of drinking at most one energy drink per day, i was 14 years old, now i'm 18 and don't even give a second thought after i throw one back

[median idol]

Eh I've never been too fond of energy drinks

[gilded quest]

Ghost is my fav
Red bull is pretty good tho

[cosmic bobcat]

i forgot to add 💀 when i was 14 and had one, i felt a lil more awake but that's it

[timid meadow]

Sometimes you either dont wanna sleep for a week, or cant fall asleep when you should and keep "missing the bus" but still gotta pay your bills

[gilded quest]

Lol I didn't start drinking lots of caffeine till my 20s

[unkempt widget]

hi how's everyone's days

[vapid smelt]

are you sure your not Mormon?

[timid meadow]

Same shit different day 🤷

[past egret]

apparently they started putting caffeine into like every soda

[cosmic bobcat]

i feel like "normal brained" people end up usually not liking energy drinks, and those of us who are less fortunate to not know what the everloving frick a normal brain is end up loving them, especially when you have undiagnosed (or untreated) ADD/ADHD

[gilded quest]

Didn't like coffee and my mother told me energy drinks are bad
Drank lots of soda and Arizona tea

[gilded quest]

I get asked this a lot

[median idol]

Anyone remember this? I used to drink this a lot back in the 2000s

[timid meadow]

Ive got more arizona rx energy in my body then water at this point

[chrome vector]

Except for clear sodas for some reason

[vapid smelt]

ngl i giggled to that

[unkempt widget]

i've been doing a lot of exams, so i've having a lot of coffee recently

just yesterday i had 2 milk teas and a cup of coffee

[chrome vector]

I FUCKING MISS VAULT. I am very mad that you had to remind me of this travesty

[gilded quest]

My coworkers asked me this when I told them I didn't drink at 18

[cosmic bobcat]

i bounce back between ghost and monster, the 2 flavors from ghost i like, i LOVE them but they get boring pretty quickly, monster has flavors i like less but also a wider variety of flavors they i will prefer to have over ghost so i usually end up going with monsters

[past egret]

who the fuck is making milk tea powder by the way, that shit is putrid

[gilded quest]

Sour green apple & blue raspberry are my fav

[timid meadow]

Nuked for caplock? Kek

[cosmic bobcat]

arizona has energy drinks??????

[manic torrent]

also making them sugar free. My wife is allergic to many of the sugar replacements, and she can't have caffeine, and they also changed some to have sulphites which I'm allergic to. It's annoying AF. The solo bottle seem to have sulphite preservative, but the cans are still the old formula.

[gilded quest]

Ultra peach is good

[timid meadow]

They have for a bit. Google arizona rx energy

[median idol]

Same here, man. That shit was the bomb. It tastes ike a sweettart to me.

[cosmic bobcat]

i didn't even know that was a thjng here tbh ☠️

[chrome vector]

I prefer a little

[past egret]

seems to be an australian thing

[chrome vector]

They brought it back for awhile and then cancelled it again. I miss it.

It was cooler than Mt. Dew

[long briar]

eggplant feels and tastes disgusting and there's no way people actually eat out because they like it

[cosmic bobcat]

i find the sugar replacements to be annoying, but for a different reason. apparently the "zero calorie" sweeteners can mess with your insulin resistance if you're prone to that at all, because even tasting sweetness by itself (toothpaste included) can trigger an insulin spike

[manic torrent]

yeah they can do some weird shit.

[timid meadow]

Arizona price change finally hit my area. I been paying 99 cents till last week. Now its 1.19 😭

[cosmic bobcat]

fr. also they're like 30 times sweeter than sugar or whatever, so if you have too much of them, even sugar itself can start to taste bland.

[long briar]

it was .79 cad for a while here

[chrome vector]

Inflation has truly doomed us all

[gilded quest]

Kek
WinCo charges like 69¢ for Arizona tea

[median idol]

To those who aren't in the US, Vault was basically a hybrid drink (if a soda and an energy drink had a kid, this would be their offspring) man I would buy these bulk if they ever came back. Haven't had a vault since 2011....? Man it brings back memories

[vapid smelt]

winco is the best

[gilded quest]

Fr

[timid meadow]

I know its not a huge difference but i buy 5-7 a week so its still a few bucks

[long briar]

I drink a lot more brisk and peace tea nowadays tho

[chrome vector]

One day Vault will return! The chosen drink cometh

[past egret]

just, make real tea people....

[long briar]

like... an unhealthy amount

[past egret]

like a tea bag is not that expensive...

[long briar]

too much work

[past egret]

americans

[cosmic bobcat]

i had a friend actually go without ANY artificial sweetening, sugar itself included, and he mentioned that after a few weeks/months of doing that, that even la croix tasted sweet to him, like straight up soda, it's crazy what constant exposure to sugars/sweeteners does to our taste buds, and brains (sugar giving a similar response in the brain to cocaine)

[long briar]

and it's hot...

[timid meadow]

Didnt they pull a 4loko and keep making it with a weaker formula? Maybe im trippin

[long briar]

Don't get me wrong tea has its place and everything. I enjoy tea (as expected given Chinese)

[gilded quest]

I like a green tea with some honey

[long briar]

But it's not the do all drink.

[past egret]

it is for me, id take tea anyday over water

[gilded quest]

What the fuck

[past egret]

or soda or coffee or anything

[long briar]

cold tea... gross

[gilded quest]

Nothing better than ice cold water

[manic torrent]

yeah I took up cocaine instead

[cosmic bobcat]

idk if it's just cause i'm in fricking south texas or whatever but i hate green tea, especially hot, but that's probably because i'm used to everything ever having that stupid cheap lipton that tastes like straight grass if you don't sweeten it

[long briar]

until you hit -40C outside and realize maybe some hot tea would help

[timid meadow]

Except slightly below room temp water. Easier to chug

[past egret]

water is just water, tea is like water+

[chrome vector]

4loko used to have caffeine in it. Uppers and alcohol don't mix well. It lets you get blackout drunk while being wide awake because you don't realize how much you're drinking.

They removed the caffeine from 4loko because of the danger

[gilded quest]

I'm from a 50C desert so

[cosmic bobcat]

that being said, herbal teas i love, and black tea with milk in it as well

[long briar]

a bit different climate I guess

[long briar]

Have you ever left green tea to cool down

It tastes like garbage when room temp. It needs to be hot.

[gilded quest]

The vast majority of what I drink is plain water

[long briar]

Best temp for tea (IMO) is 60C

[cosmic bobcat]

To me regardless it just tastes like grass🤷

[long briar]

for water it depends on the whether but I usually prefer around 60C as well

[gilded quest]

I love the carbon taste from the Brita filter

[long briar]

What kind of green tea you getting?

[chrome vector]

best temp for tea is just above freezing

[cosmic bobcat]

Idk, i'm in south texas the only green tea you can find is whatever frickin lipton is everywhere

[long briar]

Lipton is gross

[cosmic bobcat]

NAH FR

[past egret]

lipton is serviceable

[cosmic bobcat]

lipton only tastes good when you drown it out with sugar, at which point you might as well just make sugar water???

[past egret]

yorkshire is ok

[gilded quest]

Naw mate
Pretty sure you're supposed to brew it hot, not cold

[timid meadow]

Hot tea and nice warm biscuits or croissants on a cold day ❤️❤️

[chrome vector]

Arnold Palmers (tea and lemonade) are one of the only acceptable tea drinks. You can't chsnge my mind

[past egret]

twining is probably the best for tea bags

[chrome vector]

Oh yeah? Explain iced tea. Check mate atheists.

[manic torrent]

I find it incredible how many people died because of tea.

[past egret]

also just use tea leaves

[manic torrent]

like, entire wars were fought because of it.

[gilded quest]

Is iced tea different than regular tea poured over ice?

[cosmic bobcat]

i prefer finding teas i don't have to add anything into (suggestions for this would be appreciated) so stuff like fruity herbal teas are usually what i stick with. that being said i could probably find better brands than celestial seasonings & teavana lmao

[past egret]

dried spices are worth more than gold

[manic torrent]

as a rule, iced tea implies sugar.

[rare zenith]

Peace Tea is the only one for me, I had an Arnold Palmer once and it was the worst

[past egret]

i mean bastards traveled around the whole damn world just for some spice

[gilded quest]

TIL

[manic torrent]

the spice must flow.

[past egret]

western food is just that bland.

[past egret]

excited for dune 2

[rare zenith]

too sweet

[chrome vector]

Peace tea (at least some of Peace tea and Arizona are good too) other than that, tea is an unacceptable drink. Especially warm tea.

[past egret]

also iced tea can be unsweetened and SHOULD be unsweetened.

[cosmic bobcat]

i haven't really gotten to experience food outside of north america (canada not included in places i've eaten, sadly) but honestly stuff people say, like NY or the surrounding area having the best food, is straight up untrue

[gilded quest]

Mmm coffee

[rare zenith]

nasty

[gilded quest]

The way my parents make coffee is nasty

Just black drip coffee

[rare zenith]

i only have it since i'm always so exhausted in the morning and it's better than a monster

[small zephyr]

im coffe crayz at some extent

[past egret]

coffee sucks and i only like it black

[cosmic bobcat]

maybe there's that like one spot you gotta know about to get food, but you can't just walk into NY and have your taste buds blessed like it's made out to be

[small zephyr]

i only use beans and grind em per hand

[gilded quest]

I usually make a latte or cappuccino in the morning

[cosmic bobcat]

i tried that once and i will never try it again

[gilded quest]

I do have a manual grinder

[past egret]

monday: pizza, tuesday: pizza, wednesday: pizza.....

[small zephyr]

welp atm i make myself a liter of rockstar every morning

[gilded quest]

That's fucked
NVM this is worse ⏬

[small zephyr]

🤔 my grocerie store sells rockstar energy syrup

its way cheaper as buying it as ready cans lmao

[cosmic bobcat]

That sounds amazing honestly

[small zephyr]

an bottle syrup for around 9liters is around 7,99

[chrome vector]

Is it like those mio things? I've never seen that

[small zephyr]

half a liter cans are like 1,69 and 0,25cents deposit on the can

its from sodastream

[cosmic bobcat]

I tried MIO energy, the one with the caffeine and everything in it once, and i swear there's no caffeine in it at all, either that or my caffeine addiction is at worse levels than i ever imagined, i squeezed half of a container of that stuff into a glass of water, chugged it down, and i didn't even get the normal effect from one "normal" energy drink

[vapid smelt]

sounds like heartburn

[chrome vector]

I really want to try a soda stream sometime

[small zephyr]

sodastream got even mountain dew syrup

i've got the sodastar from aldi

[cosmic bobcat]

Bro that reminds me

I had some cheap soda maker thing once, and i had like several syrups for sodas that came with it, there should be more grapefruit soda in the world

[chrome vector]

yeah, it's been a long time since I've tried them. I actually just bought a few of them last week since they were on a good sale. Just want to try them again.

[small zephyr]

https://www.amazon.de/SodaStream-Sirup-Rockstar-Original-Zero/dp/B0B724M9Q6 there they have it as the pruple and regular ones

[vapid smelt]

medicalmeth > energy drinks

[cosmic bobcat]

the grapefruit one HIT DIFFERENT

[small zephyr]

i get heartburn from fucking everything and are on pantoprasol anyways

[chrome vector]

I agree. Hence why I need to get back on my adderall

[cosmic bobcat]

i stopped using them cause like i said a while back, artificial sweeteners screw with insulin too much for me to be comfortable with, and with my already bad eating habits (i eat 1 or 2 meals a day most days) i don't wanna risk anything more than what i'm already doing to my body and gaining weight by undereating

[chrome vector]

Hmm, yeah never seen those here.

To be fair though, I think Rockstar energy drinks are some of the worst tasting ones I've tried. I don't know what it is, I just never liked them.

[small zephyr]

fuck i have like 6 addictions atm: gaming, anime/manga, vocaloid music, nicotine, coffee and energy drinks lmao

i live fucking unhealthy in general O_o

[chrome vector]

Yeah I can understand that

[chrome vector]

[small zephyr]

i live super unhealthy but never get sick or anything like that

[chrome vector]

gotta hit em with it

[cosmic bobcat]

i still chug down MIO water when i'm sick though because i can only drink fluids with a sore throat when there's something in there more than just water so it's not pure pain, idon't understand how that works but it does

[small zephyr]

welp with the exeption of heartburn but thats allergies to chocolade and fruit accid

[chrome vector]

[small zephyr]

🤔 tommorow or the day after i finaly get some cheap ass rgb fans xD

[cosmic bobcat]

i used to live super healthily (with the exception that i didn't really exercise a whole lot) and still got sick constantly lol

i don't think it has a lot to do with your lifestyle, getting sick a lot or not, but just exposure therapy, cause im homeschooled and most of my life didn't leave the house a whole lot, got sick like 4 times a year, now im leaving the house CONSTANTLY cause i finally got a life, and i almost never get sick now lol

[small zephyr]

i was only ONCE by the doctor in 7 years and thats only because my psycho doc wanted an EKG

ah and blood sample

[cosmic bobcat]

covid also helped i guess kickstart my immune system a lil, after i had covid last year i fight off colds a lot quicker

[cosmic bobcat]

before i started going just for mental health stuff last year, the last time i was at a doctor was when i was like 7 years old

[small zephyr]

i never had covid even through my roommates got it multiple times

[cosmic bobcat]

i'm not even fully vaccinated lol, i don't think i even have the chicken pox vaccine

and i'm still autistic, take that antivaxxers!

[small zephyr]

i guess the saying that idiots dont catch colds does fit to covid as well

[thin fjord]

just installed the latest graphics driver from geforce experience and now my monitor is just a black screen how awesome is that

[small zephyr]

ah and im vaccinated 4 times already

[thin fjord]

i love unexpected pc maintenance

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i always loose my vaccine pass so everytime i break some bones or something that need emergcy room welp (i may never get sick but dang i break stuff often but that doesnt count as being sick tho) and i always get vaccinated again againts tetanus etc

[cosmic bobcat]

honestly covid is kinda hard to get tbh, not saying this in that like "arrrgh covid is a myth" way, but like, catching a cold is kinda easier than covid, i had someone with like BAD covid at my graduation party last year, and there was probably about 100-130 people there, and out of all those people, only 5 of us got sick, cause we were around him for that 15 minutes within 6 ft

[cosmic bobcat]

Oh damn, that actually kinda sounds nice tho

[clear frost]

damn

[cosmic bobcat]

Not the breaking bones, the vaccines lol

[small zephyr]

nope having to deal with hurting arm on top of broken bones is not fun

[chrome vector]

Okay so what's the biggest discord y'all are in other than this one?

[thin fjord]

maybe yall are just built different. there was a small covid outbreak at my workplace and everyone except a handful had to take time off

[cosmic bobcat]

Yeah my bad i only thought to respond to the vaccine part lol

[thin fjord]

i was the admin for a meme discord that had 300k members at peak

[small zephyr]

🤔 i guess its either marlin firmware or ender 3 users

[cosmic bobcat]

oh well yeah, i understand the thought behind being better safe than sorry, that's just my experience with it

[chrome vector]

Hmm, might have to check one out sometime. There's plenty of subs and communities on Discord, but I just didn't join any of them for a long time because I didn't use it often

[small zephyr]

nope as long as you are not an idiot and distance yourself you are harder to get it

[timid meadow]

Overwatch 2 server, but i feel thats a bit too generic. Nova launcher is the 2nd biggest im in

[chrome vector]

Other than friend groups discords I'm basically just in this one and /r/HardwareSwap

[small zephyr]

jesus warbot is so dumb sometimes.... it doesnt get context

[thin fjord]

no discord bot does

[cosmic bobcat]

There are some people built different down here though, my sister has some wack immune system, she was around the covid dude about as much as i was (hours, FAR more than enough to get covid and then some) and didn't even have a slight sore throat, fever, nothing, tested negative and all. she's been exposed like 20 times and never tested positive nor developed symptoms, and the only time she's been sick in the past 4 years is when i gave her a bacterial sinus infection lol

[chrome vector]

Hmm, okay, nice. What's Nova?

[small zephyr]

but as i was saying before as long you are not a total idiot and go to partys every weekend etc and distance yourself easy peasy

its the mentality of wanting normality back thats causing ppl to get sick

🤔 welp im a weebo neet thats always at home as well tho

[cosmic bobcat]

right yeah, i don't think everyone who is going to parties is a "total idiot," so long as they're AWARE of the risks they're taking, they're only an idiot if they get sick, then complain that they got covid like they have the right to, i get the general thought though yeah

[chrome vector]

Little baby warbot sucks fat.... You know what. It's unironically horrible. Can't even say, "Linus s*x Tips" here even though that's a huge meme that they helped foster with the only fans april fools day video

Launcher for android. Replaces home screen, app drawer, etc. I use it mostly for additional guestures and Sesame Search Support. I can double tap my home screen and search for any file or app on my device, and if none exist, the enter button searches google or my search of choice for it

[manic torrent]

you can't blame people for listening to the government advice 😦

[chrome vector]

What's against it?

[tender geyser]

Covid is going to end us all we are doomed 😱

[small zephyr]

welp normality is finaly coming back to some extent however the corona tax on everything that is in stores remains

[cosmic bobcat]

there's also another side to this to see it from though, like exposure can be good in a way, not constant exposure that's how you guarantee getting sick, but like, also not being a germophobe yk, there's a fine balance to achieve that helps you avoid staying sick while training your immune system

[small zephyr]

the worst about covid is not covid but the fucking companys making profit of it

[cosmic bobcat]

As soon as companies realize they have an excuse to jack prices they will lmao

[chrome vector]

Hmm, going to have to look into that, at least to try it. I haven't "jail broken" a phone since iPhone 4.

[tender geyser]

Well joe biden said if you take the vaccine you don’t get covid so I guess it’s valid

[small zephyr]

like for example frozen pizza in 2 days it raised prices by like 1,50€

thats beyond messed up considering the raise was on top of an already raised price

[small zephyr]

worst offenders of this: pharmaceutical companys and nvidia

[cosmic bobcat]

I think though right now, it's less related to covid, as when everything was getting back to normal, stuff started dropping in price, from my own viewpoint and what i've seen, stuff got more expensive when ukraine&russia happened, cause idk if you're in the US too, but gas prices shot up bc of it (once again, a "if they can, they will" thing really, cause we're super self sufficient on oil) and as a result everything kinda dominoed to be more expensive

[cosmic bobcat]

imo the worst offenders are oil/gas companies

[small zephyr]

nice prices did not start droping here they still rise

[cosmic bobcat]

oh damn, what country are you in?

[small zephyr]

just walk lmao netter for the envoirement and your health

i live in germany, the nation where no one one what shits worth

[cosmic bobcat]

Ahhh okay

[small zephyr]

seing how i sold an 5500xt on auction last month for like 320bucks

considering i paid for the 6650xt i used to replace it 340new its hilarious

[cosmic bobcat]

easier said than done, especially in south US, we have so much land that for the most part, everyone's so rural that driving is the only option, and in some cities where there's enough people in a small space for walking to be possible, the structures for the cities make it impossible to convert

Houston may be the worst offender of this in the US though, which is where i'm from

[small zephyr]

just dont live in the us in the first place, way to much crime no matter where your are dumb and stupid laws sometimes and being able to be fucked or fuck other over with stupid lawsuits etc

i haven’t seen a single gun that isn’t in the hands of a police officer where i’m at

[golden talon]

you can sue but you’ll very rarely win unless you find some legal loophole

[small zephyr]

🤔 welp 2 days ago i wish i was in the us tho, fucking city placed dark green streen pole things at the crosswalk in an area where theres no street lamps fuck i hurt my self realy bad then

[cosmic bobcat]

Yeah no it sucks here lmao, the only things keeping me here, are that i'm only 18, so i'm not really set up to move to a foreign country and be self sufficient yet, and also, i have a TON of irl friends down here that i'm extremely close to, and i couldn't handle moving to the other end of the world

[small zephyr]

my tight still hurts

🤷‍♂️ i only still in germany cuz im not mentally able to get a job or something so i cant move to my sister in belgium

[golden talon]

i want to go to germany just for the autobahn

[small zephyr]

nah its overrated

[golden talon]

derestricted highway go brrrr

[cosmic bobcat]

Damn, yeah that sucks sorry that happened, i think that's everywhere tbh but yeah, probably easier to sue whoever designed that down here ☠️

[small zephyr]

the areas where theres no speed limits are not that many as one might expect

[cosmic bobcat]

Yeah fair enough

[small zephyr]

and lmao just go to greek no one cares if your drive with 230km/h through citys

[golden talon]

well 230 kmh isn’t that fast

i’d like to be able to do it legally

[small zephyr]

they dont even care if an 12year old child drives his drunk af grandfather home

[golden talon]

oh ya also the nordschleife

[cosmic bobcat]

I wish that there was some kind of drivers license in the US that granted immunity to speed limits (without having to shoot black people on sight) if you know how not to kill yourself, or someone else yk

[small zephyr]

like literally got pulled over just pointed at my grandpa: police like, okay have an nice day sir

i thought i was fucked when that happend xD

[golden talon]

wtf r u talking about

[cosmic bobcat]

that was a poor joke attempt about police in the parentheses

and the rest of it, like a sort of drivers ed substitute that enforces actual safe driving

[tender geyser]

The cops are evil they are all evil black people killers

[clear frost]

how’s ur black screen going

[golden talon]

lmao

[small zephyr]

duh theres a state where you can get license plate in not street safe conditions

[tender geyser]

Have you not heard of all the horrid awful brutal things they do to our people of color

[golden talon]

not all cops are like that

[cosmic bobcat]

precisely

[tender geyser]

They are all pigs…

[manic torrent]

yeah you need to take a chill pill

[golden talon]

ah i see you’re being sarcastic

[tender geyser]

We need to defund the police

[small zephyr]

cuz if they say its street safe they can be sued for it if the car is involved in accident?

[manic torrent]

ACAB, but wtf are you doing

[cosmic bobcat]

Yeah no we're poking fun lol, sorry about the confusion

[fallen cedar]

or velocity powder

[golden talon]

yea i was about to say lmao

the whole acab thing is pretty stupid

[small zephyr]

no matter where i live i would never want to be a cop

[cosmic bobcat]

what is ACAB ☠️

[tender geyser]

All cops are bastards

[golden talon]

“all cops are bad”

[manic torrent]

yeah, you're wrong, but go off

[cosmic bobcat]

ohhhh 💀💀

[small zephyr]

just sucks you work your ass off and rasism throw at you at your every action are hated and dont get paid enough

[cosmic bobcat]

sorry i'm an uneducated moron lol, i purposefully keep myself in an echo chamber online

[manic torrent]

all cops are inherently part of a corrupt system and therefore even if they are trying to do good, fundamentally have to be compromised in order to continue their job.

[golden talon]

i’m not going off, without cops i wouldn’t be alive talking here right now, so i think i’ll stick with what i’ve got lol

[manic torrent]

if I wanted someone to show up after my family was brutally murdered even though I'd already called the police... I'd call the police.

[cosmic bobcat]

I've only ever firsthand witnessed good interactions with cops, but i also come from a white family and live in a predominantly white area, so "results may vary" and whatnot

[golden talon]

that’s called an incompetent department, i’m sorry your local pd is like that

[tender geyser]

Yeah cops love that

[golden talon]

i have nothing but the utmost respect for my local officers

[cosmic bobcat]

yeah that's pretty much spot on for the US though

[manic torrent]

the inherent design of the police, particularly in america, is the problem.

ACAB isn't about "this cop is a bad person"

[cosmic bobcat]

the entire government structure in america is itself THE original problem

[golden talon]

That’s fine, you can continue to claim ACAB and all of that, i’ll just stick to my own opinion and be thankful for what my local pd has come for me and my community

[tender geyser]

It’s not diverse enough

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i have roots of greek genes, so im looking like it, but everyone always thinks im turkish and they do the most crimes around here without meaning it rasism but statistical and i always get pulled over cuz i fit some offender profile of some break in or something

[cosmic bobcat]

and it's issues trickle down like water into other areas, like the police system, the irs, etc.

[manic torrent]

like making sure that poor people are evicted from their homes.

[full fossil]

im black and have never had a bad enteraction with a cop. my truck ran out of gas one time and they took me to a gas station so i could fill up a little take. People act aggressive around cops and wonder why shit starts to get heated

[manic torrent]

and incarcerating homeless people

[small zephyr]

german cops are racist even the not german german police are racist

[cosmic bobcat]

Idk, i don't really hold opinions on who's in a place in government, i just see how it's a messed up system to begin with

[tender geyser]

No this can’t be right…

[golden talon]

I don’t understand lmao. You don’t pay your bills you get evicted. pay it and enjoy a privilege to a roof

too bad the landlord upped the rent to beyond what you could possibly pay because your pay hasn't gone up.

4x250ml cans of red bull for 5 dollars at coles? satisfactory

and if you wanna be really real about it, even if you completely paid for and "own" the property you dwell on, the federal government itself can just yoink and suddenly it's theirs now, and not yours

[golden talon]

nobody’s holding a gun to your head telling you stick to the landlord

[small zephyr]

one can is like 2,50 here

[full fossil]

whats ur rent?

[manic torrent]

They are holding a gun to your head telling you to get out though, and throwing your shit on the street

[golden talon]

Again, not the cops fault

[cosmic bobcat]

Depends on the lease, if you back out of a lease before it expires without an out specifically in it, they can ruin your credit score

[past egret]

rip bozo, i probably shouldve coped 2

[manic torrent]

.... I'm fine.

[cosmic bobcat]

At least in the US**

[small zephyr]

welp not bad anyways red bull tastes like shit

[manic torrent]

but they are still literally there, literally holding a gun to your head.

[small zephyr]

i rather drink some gummibeary monster or something

[manic torrent]

I didn't say the cop wasn't a nice person

[golden talon]

if you refuse to leave and threaten them with force, yes they will use force to remove you for committing a crime

[small zephyr]

i always think moster tastes like gummi bears

[cosmic bobcat]

i love redbull but that's cause i like the sour taste it has, hard to describe but it's nice to have something that isn't really trying to imitate a flavor as much as just be it's own thing

[golden talon]

this is not new information

[manic torrent]

but cops are, by the nature of their job, bastards. If it comes down to siding with the police department (not even the state) vs you, the cop will fuck you every single time

[tender geyser]

Yea cops are evil

[golden talon]

lmao ok

[manic torrent]

it's basic game theory.

[small zephyr]

welp no matter what it should be illegal to remove ppl from your property in bodybags

[full fossil]

ur talking about how rent is so bad. i just wanna know a number (dosent have to be ur rent) to understand how much money ur talking about?

[vapid smelt]

how much is redbull paying you to spread lies?

[manic torrent]

it doesn't matter how much it is - if it's more than you have, then it's irrelevant.

[golden talon]

i’d the “ppl” in question threatened me with lethal levels of violence against me, i wouldn’t hesitate to reciprocate it lol

[full fossil]

u say rent is high I say its not

[small zephyr]

i pay i think 1400€ for 20m2

[cosmic bobcat]

🤷 idk i just like it

[manic torrent]

... I mean, there's objective data that says it is, so you can say whatever bullshit you like.

[cosmic bobcat]

redbull is disgusting but in a good way

[small zephyr]

but doesnät that makles it still atempted murder?

[manic torrent]

If only there was a place you could go to learn things, maybe where you could search, and find some sort of "articles" or "statistics"

[full fossil]

let me refrase myself, ur making it sound like its unlivable, when its totally duable

[golden talon]

no, you’re protected under self defense if the other party used reasonable amounts violence against you to justify lethal force

[cosmic bobcat]

i haven't been paying too much attention until it got a little heated, do y'all live in similar areas?

[small zephyr]

so crimes are okay if you own the property? let him be in there an call the fucking police

[golden talon]

nobody said that

[small zephyr]

murder is murder.

[manic torrent]

generally, across the western world, rents are increasing.

[golden talon]

there’s someone coming at you with a knife in their hand. you have a gun in your hand. what are you gonna do in that situation?

[full fossil]

I live in texas, lots of factory jobs that pay 17+ and pick up a simple skill like welding its an easy 26+

so iu might not have fun money for a bit, but if rent is that high why not just build some credit and get a morgage at that point

[manic torrent]

I see you are an economist

[golden talon]

Nobody ever feels empathy for the criminal

[cosmic bobcat]

Oh what the frick okay, damn. i guess the situation is kinda similar then

[manic torrent]

it's far worse here (in terms of rent and housing prices)

[cosmic bobcat]

Oh damn okay, sorry to hear that :/

[golden talon]

it’s not legally murder if you acted in self defense, it’s that simple

[manic torrent]

oh, I'm fine - I'm a decent income white man.

[small zephyr]

fact is: weapons doe not kill humans, humans do so humans should not be allowed to carry em in public

[full fossil]

im just doing what people are doing around me. If my coworker own a house by 23 im obisouly gonna listen to him

[manic torrent]

not entirely true - depending on jurisdiction.

[small zephyr]

i like guns but they should only be allowed at gun ranges in special weapon safes

[vapid smelt]

people can kill each other with nothing but their own hands

[golden talon]

fact is: thousands people break that law every day of the week, most of the time without people knowing

[small zephyr]

yeah but its mentally easier to pull a trigger or use a knife as using your hands

[manic torrent]

ok great, but that's literally not possible in many places without being already wealthy.

[full fossil]

the move

[vapid smelt]

cars kill people

[manic torrent]

moving, SO EASY AND CHEAP.

[full fossil]

20,000 people moved to sherman in the past year

[cosmic bobcat]

And yeah that kinda makes sense, i live in texas too, generally from what i see, we kinda have access to a unique economy here, a lot of stuff is self sufficient here so it's easy to make up for stuff in one area price wise when something else is off, so it's easy to be full time and self sufficient in your area yeah, but not everywhere, even in the US, has that same basic wage there, where i am, 2 miles can make a difference of ~$500 in rent

[manic torrent]

Something tells me you don't know shit about being properly poor.

[golden talon]

i don’t think i’d believe anyone saying they wouldn’t pull the trigger on someone charging towards them with a knife

[full fossil]

its gonna be hard no shit but we moved from californa to texas with nothing but our documents. if u wanna have a good life sometimes u gotta build from the bottom up

[manic torrent]

when you have a gun, the solution to many problems is to pull the trigger. That's why not having a gun is almost always a better option.

[golden talon]

right, so getting stabbed is the best option. got it

[manic torrent]

the point isn't that it isn't possible - it's that the system is quite literally stacked against you.

[vapid smelt]

i rather be shot then stabbed

[timid meadow]

When all youve got is a hammer, every problem becomes a nail 🤷

[small zephyr]

nah when a knife you just need to be faster in running

[manic torrent]

Most shootings are escalated arguments.

[golden talon]

throwing knives:

[small zephyr]

with a gun distance doesnt matter meaning a kifie give higher chances to survive

[timid meadow]

Theres a thousand other things you can do to not get stabbed. Bundle of your shirt or other clothing to help reflect impact, overpowering the person with proper techniques (skill over strength). Kill them isnt the only option

[dreamy rose]

fuck that, i'm using the Flying guillotine

[small zephyr]

dude who walks around with throwing knifes to rob someone? they take the scary big knifes

[golden talon]

who said you have to kill them? it’s a lot easier to aim at someone’s leg or pelvis than learn high level karate or some shit to defend against a knife

[manic torrent]

oh wow, yeah nah get fucked.

[cosmic bobcat]

Eh, generally the closer a gun is to you, depending on the persons nerves, you could easily disarm them, it's more dangerous to be further away from someone with a gun, distance matters still, just in the opposite way

[manic torrent]

if you're going to shoot someone, shoot them. none of this leg bullshit.

[timid meadow]

If you arent killing them, you dont need a gun

[tender geyser]

ppl think life is a fucking anime and they can just magically disarm an attacker like that

[golden talon]

Self defense and killing is not the same lmao

[manic torrent]

just as likely to hit their femoral artery and they bleed out in like 3 minutes

[cosmic bobcat]

The chances of survival from someone with a knife 20 ft away from you and someone touching a gun to you are about the same in my viewpoint

[small zephyr]

yeah of course if ppl would do that it would be fine but how many deaths alone is police forces around the world causing every day that are literally trained and mentally prepared to only shoot the places that dont kill

[full fossil]

I dont understnd if someone is trying to take my life how am i not in the right to take theres in self defense?

[vapid smelt]

dont shoot the legs

or, should we not try and make it better because YOU did ok, and other people don't deserve it as good as you have it.

[cosmic bobcat]

First option is good, second, if you're starting from the ground up, imo, getting 20k (random guess, never been to college, no idea how expensive it actually is) in student loan debt isn't a big help

[manic torrent]

you have a very small sphere of experience - I don't say that as an attack, I mean more that you don't seem to be aware of the bigger picture and that many people have entirely different circumstances to you

For a single person in the continental United States, the 2022 federal poverty level is $13,590. For each additional person in the household, the federal poverty level increased by $4,720. (So for a household of three, for example, the 2022 federal poverty level is $23,030.)

i'll probably get a certificate somewhere in a few years to have job insurance but for now, i have enough stuff to worry about outside of that in my life it's not something i'm considering rn

"Only" 3k. Not counting the arsenal of tools you need to maintain on your own. Even in school

[manic torrent]

In 2020, there were 37.2 million people in poverty.

13% of the people in the US are living in poverty, as defined by the US govt.

[full fossil]

ur telling me people cant save up for a used car?

[cosmic bobcat]

depending on the school, you might not have to own the tools while in school, but yeah you would have to get them afterwards if your workplace doesn't provide them

[manic torrent]

no. They literally cannot.

[vapid smelt]

i would be homeless if it wasn't for my parents letting me live with them

[vapid smelt]

then you have to pay for gas /maintenance and car insurance

[timid meadow]

People kek at that but plenty of people in the US are just too lazy to bike. Prep ahead of time and dont cry over some rain and youll be fine

[manic torrent]

or get sick. or have sick family.

[golden talon]

Not really, where I live there’s a train directly a bike rides length from my house to my university, and the transit service is all over the state

[cosmic bobcat]

Depends on the area. Around houston, tx, it's almost impossible to bike where you need to. Possible if you live in the right area, but if you don't live in exactly the right area within a couple miles of your workplace, you're SOL. Probably the same for most of the rural US land, which afaik takes up the majority of the land here, even if it's just by a little

by how much did your polis increase? 😄 17 best year to get into an accident you cant afford

[timid meadow]

2 legs dont need bike infrastructure. Its not fun, and you shouldn't have to, but a 2 hour walk one way will pay your bills and let you keep your job in the times you really cant make it to work. Everyones replacable, but not every employer wants to fire a good employee whos showing effort

[cosmic bobcat]

Like i would absolutely love to bike everywhere if i could, cause no gas cost, don't have to worry about parking, etc. but everywhere i drive is usually 20-30 miles in opposite directions and that's ridiculous on a bike

[vapid smelt]

we had to change insurance providers went up like $150 a month

[fallen cedar]

it increased by 150 or the total was 150?

[vapid smelt]

150 more

[fallen cedar]

oof

[unkempt widget]

truly a skill issue

[cosmic bobcat]

again, still not entirely possible in every given area, especially in the us. almost every rural area, you'll end up living 10+ miles from your workplace, unless it's at a continence store or gas station, in which case it probably doesn't pay enough to be self sufficient

[full fossil]

ok if ur rlly broke and need money, tyson pays 17$ an hours and cicis pays 13.50. U work 40 hours at tyson and 10-20 hours at cicis each week then it that shurlly would be enough money to cover ur needs. working 2 jobs sucks ass and its draning but its reasonable

[vapid smelt]

and the only damage was a thumb sized scratch in her bumper, my head light and hood got bent, but i fixed that myself

[fallen cedar]

what was the damaged car? Maybach?

[cosmic bobcat]

i don't disagree that people here are lazy, i actually very much agree with that, but you can't attribute structural issues in rural areas, or outright terrible design to laziness of the citizens who had nothing to do with those decisions

[timid meadow]

Okay then you go to mopeds. Cheaper then cars, often dont need a drivers license, and get to high enough speeds to use the slow lane

[vapid smelt]

like a 2010 Malibu this was back in 2017

[manic torrent]

what does lazy mean. People don't want to work? who wants to do shitty work for not much money?

[cosmic bobcat]

That's a better solution. Not sure the pricing but that could be a good solution compared to the other options

[cosmic bobcat]

in the way i'm using it here, people who don't want to put effort into their lives

[fallen cedar]

was the repair bill she claimed also stupendously big or were just shafted by the insurance policy for being a high risk

shitty work buys you opportunity to get skills so hopfully u can land a better paying job

probably because it was like 5 friends doing it for hobby work instead of like an actual full time

[fallen cedar]

yikes

[full fossil]

yeah if ur just wasting ur time not applying to new jobs and just staying at the shitty ones obisouly ur gonna get nowhere

[cosmic bobcat]

"shitty work" if you mean any job that just plain pays poorly, in my viewpoint those jobs are the opposite of laziness because a lot of times they end up being customer support, grocery store, or gas station positions, which require a lot of work because of the circumstances surrounding those jobs, dealing with customers, the actual labor itself, etc.

maybe not the same amount of physical effort as a construction job, but the mental effort is greater

[unkempt widget]

i don't follow

[cosmic bobcat]

whereas walking/biking vs driving, if you are in a area that you can choose one over the other, driving is more mindless and not at all physically intense compared to biking/walking

[manic torrent]

Not everyone is an able bodied youngish man with a basic education who speaks english.

[fallen cedar]

all depends on the infrastructure that is provided

[timid meadow]

Im an odd one out here. I could drive if i wanted to but i hate it

[cosmic bobcat]

exactly the point i'm trying to make

[full fossil]

work at turbo tax then

[timid meadow]

Its far from mindless. Anxiety fuel

[full fossil]

or a credit company

[manic torrent]

you're ENTIRELY missing the point.

[fallen cedar]

sorry I dindt mean to sound like I disagreed 🙂

[unkempt widget]

???

[cosmic bobcat]

i stand there with you lol, i'd be glad to bike or walk when possible but like i've said earlier, my drives usually end up being 20-30 miles so i can't really bike that :/

Well except during summers here lol, not catching me biking for more than 15 mins in 105°f

[cosmic bobcat]

you're good!! i wasn't sure so i just wanted to make sure

[fallen cedar]

yeah, I just always find it interesting how people can compare across countries as its a world of difference

[cosmic bobcat]

same, at least in the us, even comparing different states, sometimes cities in the same state makes that same world of difference

like, houston tx vs beaumont tx is an entirely different environment

from transportation to education and jobs

just to how everything LOOKS

[fallen cedar]

well we all know what fixes congestion is just adding another lane

[full fossil]

ok, then for the people that cant work what's ur soution?

[cosmic bobcat]

oh lord that's something they're trying to do near me and that's nice when they try to do that and all after the fact but the entire in between is 10x slower than before cause they gotta shut down one side of the road 🙃

[vapid smelt]

100P

[cosmic bobcat]

not realizing that even in the 5 ln freeway there's all 5 lanes being slowed down by people going the same exact speed all next to each other so there's zero room to pass whatsoever

texas gotta have some kinda system in place where once you've had a license for over 30 years you gotta retake drivers ed, or take defensive driving

[unkempt widget]

ah yes

[full fossil]

the hwy's just get worse and worse, there building a 4 or 5 lane threw my town in sherman that supposed to connect some major hwy here

[cosmic bobcat]

fr, the more lanes they add the more it's gonna get congested when people wake up and panic and try to change lanes by stopping all traffic

[full fossil]

the on ramps are gonna become death traps

[unkempt widget]

lol beijing 100 lane highways

[cosmic bobcat]

3 lanes is perfect imo, one lane for "passing" (always gonna be that 20% of people that uses the far left lane exclusively), one lane for staying in, and one lane for entry/exits

[unkempt widget]

depends on where it is tbh

[vapid smelt]

nah you need atleast 5

[cosmic bobcat]

I-45 in a nutshell

[unkempt widget]

some major highways need like 5 or even more, but for most places, 3 would be enough

[cosmic bobcat]

fair enough, i think mainly about houston tx

Although given the crackhead infrastructure around I-69, honestly 10 lanes may be necessary for it

There fr is no reason to have 6 lanes, 4 of them being exits

[full fossil]

ngl im that guy, i got a 93 ford f-150 so full throttle is about 90-120mph and i cant help myself

[cosmic bobcat]

💀💀💀 fair enough

hey i mean if you're going by the +5mph per lane rule i don't complain at all

[vapid smelt]

if your going under 80mph your too slow

[cosmic bobcat]

Oh thank god i was driving at 105mph earlier tonight

[unkempt widget]

sheesh

[cosmic bobcat]

in all honesty i would have gotten arrested if a cop was anywhere within sight lol i shouldn't drive pissed

[vapid smelt]

ive maxed out my speedometer once at 115mph

[cosmic bobcat]

i don't think i can max out my speedometer, i have a older civic with the digital speedometer

[unkempt widget]

bro yall are literally insane

[full fossil]

when my tps sensor was going out in my truck, somtimes i would be stuck going 50-60 on the hwy until randomly it would start working agian

[full fossil]

mine stops at 90:)

[cosmic bobcat]

i normally don't drive anywhere near that fast but tonight was an exception cause i like got really pissed at a bad time and stuff, so yeah

not an excuse cause i should NOT be doing that like ever, i've had my license for 2 years that's not enough experience, but whatever yk it already happened, nobody died, can't change the past

[full fossil]

i mean when its night and u can see a good 20 miles a head of u who are u gonna hurt except urself

[cosmic bobcat]

ig so, i just don't like when i do that

Mainly because i only do it when i'm like horribly angry

Which speeding and anger aren't usually a good combo in my book lol

with my mental stability it's a 50/50 chance of being okay or deciding to crash into a tree at that speed

cause when i'm in a decent mood i usually don't speed more than 10-15mph over the limit, cause i don't feel like getting a ticket and dealing with that fallout, but i probably would end up driving around 85mph regularly if i could get away with it

getting away with it also including my 4 gear v4 engine not killing itself from going 85mph constantly

[hazy parrot]

I never speed, it’s not even worth doing if you’re late, do the math and see how little time it saves you.

But…I do text

[hazy parrot]

Eh, a lifetime full of good times

Could be worse.

[full fossil]

90 vs 120 it's not that much. I'd say it's more dangerous driving an atv at 30-40 then a car down a hwy at 120

[hazy parrot]

I couldn’t go 90mph without thinking of how much a mechanic would cost me

[unkempt widget]

a mechanic? think about the medical bills

[vapid smelt]

thats only 10 over the speed limit

[hazy parrot]

60 around here

[unkempt widget]

different states have different speed limits

[vapid smelt]

im aware

[hazy parrot]

Do you live in like, the jungle or something

[dreamy rose]

that's a whole 48KPH difference, i dont think so

[unkempt widget]

120mph is 192kph right?

[hazy parrot]

I think he means not that different of a state ticket

[full fossil]

from person experince i say so

[vapid smelt]

Kangaroos Per Hour?

[unkempt widget]

that's a shit ton of kilometers per hour

[full fossil]

I almost died more on atv's then in cars

[hazy parrot]

Speeding tickets arnt just a one time thing, it’s a 3 year sentence.

Of insurance bills

[full fossil]

na

[dreamy rose]

193. but yes its a lot

[full fossil]

at least not here, speeding tickets are mostly fines at that speed

[unkempt widget]

oh wow mph to kph isn't exactly 1.6? i didn't know

[hazy parrot]

If you diddnt understand me you’re either uninsured or spitting cap

[full fossil]

I am insured and I am not lying

[hazy parrot]

Raising premiums isn’t a state to state thing

[full fossil]

was speeding in a construction zone and my ticket was 300$, granted it was only 20 over but my buddy did the same thing but 140mph on the hwy and his was the same

construction zone was 60 i was going 80

[hazy parrot]

Whatever insurance company is covered you and diddnt raise your premiums, you must’ve given them fake identities then

[full fossil]

i didnt, and if it did it was only 5$ my insurace is a consentient 80$ a month

I cant say that for my friend his insurance is probly higher but mine is relatively the same

[hazy parrot]

my use case is as ive described yeah

why do mods put a 10 second slowmode on a barely active chat

If I’m actually gonna use mobile for anything it can be said over a phone call.

perfect, my macbook can do that too

you Macbook takes a SIM Card?

nope, wifi calling

[hazy parrot]

Nah just pairing

[dreamy rose]

then your Macbook cant do it.

Well. You can call over imessage

i dont need to pick up my phone to make a phone call

But you’re not gonna call the unemployment office from it

but you still need it and your MacBook cant replace your phone so.

m1 air is ridiculous value

[golden talon]

i never said it would replace my phone

I don't know why anyone even bothers making ultrabooks under like $1500 when the base air exists

what tax

apple tax doesn't exist for base m1
you pay a tax to buy anything else

if anything the competition is far worse value than macbooks

you still can technically do it

[dreamy rose]

that and MacOS

[golden talon]

pretty sure the competing ultrabooks are also soldered ram, just storage is upgradable

[dreamy rose]

cant upgrade and comes with a shit OS nobody actually thinks is good. dealbreakers

[hazy parrot]

Ultrabooks arnt even viable. They were just the stopgap to the ultra mobile optimization half the world has gone thru

take a great idea, perfect it and make it amazing and sell it

This is also a valid take. Apple has arguably never made a good laptop. You’re speaking to someone who has bought no less than 4 of them new

Did you guys ever understood what police dispatchers were saying on ingame radios on any game before 2010

[red breach]

The driving game that blew me away that era was forza motorsport 4

[timid meadow]

I should play through the driver games again. Emulation and archival to the rescue 🙂

[dreamy rose]

ahem, its MY nostalgia too.

[dreamy rose]

Forza has always been the better title over GT.

[hazy parrot]

You really are a zoomer

[fallen cedar]

need constant neuron activation

[dreamy rose]

i think it was GT2 i tried. that shit was wack. you really have to drive in circles to go anywhere in the game?

[fallen cedar]

keep the monkey fed

[hazy parrot]

drive in circles

I guess GT does get to keep its title as the real driving simulator

[dreamy rose]

and GT4 had crashing issues on my PS3. Forza never did that

[graceful burrow]

Youre judging an entire series based on the second game?

[hazy parrot]

GT4 on the ps2?

oh i guess it was 5.
